Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Bargain Bride: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Isabelle CampbellIt’s already the end of the month. Still, the pervert douche ‘My manager’ has refused to give me my last month’s pay.“I’ll pay last month's and this month’s by the last day of the month” his useless promise rang in my head.I know I should have taken some actions to make him pay me up. If I didn’t need the money urgently, I wouldn’t have to come to work here. I have my mother’s bakery down the street but business has been slow and I can’t keep up with rent.I would have gotten a cheaper space and moved out of there, but that bakery holds so much memory of my mum that it’s so hard to let it go. Thinking of my mum changed my mood suddenly and the heaviness I had been trying to keep away was slowly getting in my heart. Too much hurt for this weak heart to bear.I looked down at the cupcakes I was icing and smiled. I made a happy face on all the cupcakes, even though I was sad and miserable.I picked up a cupcake and smiled when memories Mum showing me how to ice the cu

Isabelle CampbellI am heating the remaining food I made to give to Mr. Charles after I destroyed the first meal by letting shattered glasses and the floor mix with the food.I am an idiot. I wanted to bang my head so hard on the wall for my stupidity.“Why didn’t I do my findings before accepting the job?” I slapped my forehead and hissed when the assaulted part stung.I was humiliated and lost my job because of that prick, only to come here and work for him. No, I work for his grandfather, the old sickly man I prepare food for. I felt some kind of relief when I realized that arrogant fool wasn’t the one I would be cooking for.I might sound dramatic, but that man is bad-behaved, and spoilt and thinks everything can be handed to him because it’s true. He’s born to this wealth but that didn’t give him the right to downgrade me the way he did yesterday.“I hope you’re not dim” his words from earlier as he helped me carry the tray from the floor bounced in my head.If I wasn’t at fault,

Isabelle Campbell“You didn’t come to work today,” he said. His deep voice as it vibrates in my chest. I felt my palm sweating, a sigh that I was nervous. I couldn’t understand why, so I rubbed my palm against my cloth and kept my fist balled.“What are you doing here?” ignoring his question, I asked again. He turns to look at me and puts his hands in his pocket.“Is he the o-” I hushed Olivia when she whisper-asked me and let out a low whistle. I wished I could glare at her to behave.When she sees a handsome man, she loses all sense of reasoning.“You didn’t come to work” he repeated his earlier statement, which irritated me.I walked toward him and pushed past him to open my front door, Olivia was right behind me when I entered.“Can I come in?” he asked. I turned to look at him, my eyes firing daggers in his direction.I was already provoked today and he might be at the receiving end of my anger if he says something stupid.“Now you are being polite” I grit out clenched teeth.He

Isabelle Campbell‘I will never subject myself to such thin’ the promise I made to myself kept repeating in my head as I sat in a café opposite my bakery while I waited for Alessandro.The nervousness was creeping inside my every being, my fingers twitched and I kept biting my bottom lips, looking at the door whenever it opened to welcome a customer.“Does he have the courtesy to know not to keep a woman waiting?” I grumbled in annoyance.I am feeling anxious about this decision I am making. I want to be sure this is what I want but my situation leaves me no choice.My phone buzzed in my purse, so I opened it to take it out. It was a message from Olivia. She’s coming to town in a few days since she had to leave promptly a day ago after getting an emergency call from home.I pressed the sent button after typing my response to her message when a deep, familiar voice caught my attention.I looked up at him, my phone still close to my face, and watched him sit on the chair before me.He s

Isabelle CampbellWe got to the mansion under thirty minutes and he parked outside the garage in the compound.Alessandro helped me with the door and we walked hand-in-hand towards the main entrance.“Remember, don’t freak out when I wrap my arms around your waist” he whispered. I nodded and tried to calm my senses.I still have to get used to this whole arrangement of a thing. It’s just too new and too soon. I thought we would have to wait for some days, a week or two before we do the proper introduction but he wanted it to happen quickly so that everyone could mind their business. His words.“I am nervous about this.” I voiced my fears, and he stopped when we got to the front door. He turned to look at me and I did the same. “I know I have seen your grandfather so many times, but it’s different this time”He shrugged. “I don’t see a difference”“We are going in there as a couple” I widened my eyes.“He already has a clue of what’s between us, I am sure you know already, except you’r
