LOGINWho knew "I DO" came with a price tag? *** Charlene, or Charlie, was an orphan. She had lived jumping from one foster home to another, where people told her what to do, what she could be and not, and what she deserved, which was not much. At 18, she said enough. She pursued a career as a model, taking her life into her own hands. At 20, she met Collin, a wealthy CEO who promised to marry her. She thought her dreams were finally coming true. But like everything else in her life, her fiancée ended up being a disappointment as she caught him cheating, leaving her with a broken heart and a career in shambles. Desperate to get her life back on track, she accepted an unusual job proposal. She agreed to marry the son of the man she saved by accident. In exchange, she would receive substantial compensation. Yeah! Why not? Right? It was not as if she had to fall in love with him. It was a mere business transaction where she had to act as his wife. Besides, love was overrated anyway. Money was what made the world go round. It was the immediate solution to her problems. That was where Isaac Saunders came into the picture. He was her unwilling groom, forced by his father to marry her. He was the sole heir of his family's billion-dollar company. But he had to marry the woman of his father's choosing to inherit his father's legacy. So, how would this arrangement even work when he only saw her as another gold digger? On the other hand, she only looked at this marriage as a contractual transaction. What then? How would these two deal with their new living arrangement, staying in the same house and playing husband and wife?
View More“What are you doing, Andrew?” Matt could still hear his father’s voice inside his head as he lifted the glass of whiskey to his lips and drank its entire contents in one gulp. The strong drink scorched through his esophagus before it settled in his stomach, creating a warmth that was supposed to calm him. The lack of rage in his old man’s tone was not what bothered him. Instead, it was the calmness in his demeanor. In his experience, his father was more treacherous when he was not shouting at the top of his lungs. It was moments like these that made him more wary of his father’s intentions. Refilling the empty glass half-full of his favorite drink, he stared at its clear amber, comparing it to the turmoil that was growing inside him. Alcohol could either bring peace to an already chaotic situation or worsen it. So far, he was still waiting for the result as he downed another shot. “Aah!” He could not help but silently sigh at his increasing frustration as the pressure of his father’
It was breathtakingly romantic. The cascading flowers, the intimate candlelit dinner, the crisp wine, and even the delicate melodies weaving through the background made it all feel almost magical.If she were honest, she would confess she was deeply touched by her husband’s gesture. It made her want to believe in love, fairy tales, and all that crap about happily ever after again.Could someone like Isaac love someone like her? But that remained the question that continued to plague her mind.Once, her heart had the audacity to love, believing that two different worlds could collide and merge as one. Sadly, she woke up, realizing that it was just a cruel nightmare, disguised as an enticing dream. Her world ended in devastation, and her heart was left in shatters.Now, was it worth risking her heart to a man like him?“Isaac, you don’t need to do this. I know you are busy.” Again, her insecurity resurfaced, making her doubt her worth.Countless more qualified women had been linked to h
“Do you think she’ll like this?” Isaac had worked his butt off to prepare this surprise for her, sparing nothing and refining everything up to the smallest detail. “I need it to be perfect.” He had never done anything like this in his entire life, but there was a first time for everything. Right? After all, he was doing this for the woman he loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Isaac had arranged the most romantic dinner, ensured the flowers were fresh, with their scents mildly drifting in the air. Then, he lit the candles, which cast a soft, flickering glow over the table, creating the perfect setting. With all her favorites prepared, he believed he had everything covered. Starting with a small portion of smooth, creamy butternut squash soup, followed by a tender filet mignon served with garlic butter, grilled asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Paired it with a red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Ending the evening with a chocolate fondant, a rich cake with a molten
Home sweet home! The tall skyscraper was situated at the center of the most expensive and busiest district in the City. The penthouse suite at the very top of the building, which comprised the entire two floors, included a spacious living room, a state-of-the-art kitchen, one master bedroom, several guest rooms, a private gym, a game room, a viewing room, a maid’s quarters, and more. Not to mention its own private pool and a helipad on the rooftop. This incredible apartment was now where she lived, but truthfully, whenever she entered the foyer, she felt more like a guest or even an intruder than someone who belonged in this place. Despite all its great amenities, it never felt like home to her. Charlie’s only consolation. She had always had good company. “Good evening, Coco...” She knelt on the tiled floor and happily greeted the dog, who immediately wagged its tail as a friendly gesture while running to meet her. “Did you miss me?” Charlie had been gone almost the entire day, kee
"I'm only doing this for the company." That was his excuse as he drove his expensive sports car into his usual parking spot."I can't give the Board any reason to doubt me." Again, with his justifications, he reminded himself of what his father said."Yeah, keep telling yours that." Ivan's words did
"Hey, Charlie, what is it with the long face?" His voice penetrated her thoughts, snapping her out of her trance. She immediately looked up from where she knelt while she sealed the box that she had just finished filling with clothes.She had agreed to help pack up Aria's things. She wanted everythi
Fuck it!He could only think of one person who could be behind this. Who else would have the nerve to mess with him and his wife?He believed his friends would never dare pull a stupid prank like this on him. Not even his enemies would be brave enough to challenge him. Surely, they would not want t
"What now?" It was a question that had hounded her for two days since she had last visited Aria in the hospital.Nothing had changed in the young girl's condition since she had undergone treatment. On the contrary, Aria had only gotten worse. The latest medication did not seem to be working.The doc
