HGBS2 - Run From The Billionare

For twenty-three years, Xylia Hera Rivera has lived with rejection. Raised by a man who constantly reminds her that she is a bastard, Xylia has learned to endure the pain and dream of one thing—to leave everything behind and build a life of her own. When she gets the chance to work in Manila as a household employee for the wealthy Gutierrez family, Xylia sees it as her escape. She doesn't expect her first day to begin with an argument—and a bite—with a cold, arrogant stranger. She certainly doesn't expect to discover that he's Clark Matthew Gutierrez, the billionaire CEO and heir of the mansion where she's about to work. Clark is used to getting whatever he wants. Xylia is the first woman who refuses to be intimidated by him. Their constant clashes soon turn into an attraction neither of them can ignore. But while Xylia is trying to escape her past, Clark is determined to keep her close. Then a secret from years ago resurfaces. Xylia discovers that her parents once signed a contract with the Gutierrez family for money—and that the choices they made have consequences that reach into her life. When Clark offers her a contract marriage, Xylia accepts, believing it will give her the security she needs. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love with the man she was never supposed to love. And Clark never expects that the woman he intends to keep by his side will become the one person capable of breaking him. But when Xylia discovers that Clark has been hiding the truth about her past, everything falls apart. The woman who spent her entire life running from rejection runs once again—this time from the man she loves.
