All Chapters of Wife for Hire: Marrying My Ex-Husband's Boss: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The embers from the fire were no longer visible from this distance. Yet, ashes fell like snow despite the fact that the summer sun was already vanishing from the tawny sky.Her blouse that was once neat white was now stained in cinders. Her hair that was once treated a week ago is now as crooked as the burnt tree in front of her house.Wisdom was now sitting by the corner of the road. Her house was on fire just hours ago. The only thing remains of her were the apparel she was wearing, her second-hand laptop and mobile phone, and her coin purse that has no more than ten coins, as well as her leather wallet that she had since high school that has no more than a hundred dollars. Everything was burnt—including the pictures of her and her husband. Well, ex-husband-to-be since she could no longer endure it. She will divorce Richard as early as now, even if he is still banging that treacherous best friend of hers.Wisdom was well aware that misfortune is her middle name since she was born. B

Wisdom endured the expensive goods on 7/11. She only took the most important and needed right away stuff in order to save a few cash.It was already an hour ago since the drama of the century happened—she shamed Richard and Francine in front of hundreds of judging eyes. Her heart was still heavily pounding inside her chest. She could hear the loud beats of her pumping heart, to be honest.Wisdom took one last glance to her basket. “This will do for a week, I guess.”She then decided to go to the cashier. To her surprise, the goods she bought were 95$. She only had 50$ left in her wallet.“I’ll pay for it.” A familiar voice from behind spoke. From the man’s scent, Wisdom already knew who it was.“Terry Kale!” She exclaimed the name of her high school crush.“Hello, Wisdom!” Terry said as he handed a 100$ to the cashier with his eyes still on Wisdom’s.“You’ve grown more beautiful as far as I can remember.”Wisdom should’ve put makeup on. Her face was obviously stained with red due to t

“You probably remembered me?”Of course she did. His handsome face was registered on Wisdom’s mind forever.The bartender handed him a vodka martini—as well as to her.“Don’t worry. It’s my treat.”Wisdom was debating if the drink was somehow drugged or the man just happens to be very friendly, contrary to his strict appearance. He was wearing sage-colored jeans and black polo shirt.Well, he’s handsome anyway despite the simplicity in his apparel. He’s one of the men whom Wisdom only dreamt of being in bed with due to his oozing handsomeness.She waited for him to drink first before taking a sip from her vodka martini.“Don’t worry. It’s safe to drink, it is not drugged. If I want a woman in my bed, I’ll tell her right away. Drugs don't need to do that if my mouth can just simply ask.”That’s so sweet of him—and respectful.“Speaking of that…”That line made Wisdom abruptly turn her head towards him. She would have thrown up in the middle of this conversation if her mind didn’t remin

If only a smile could kill, the smile of Denver Giordano had long sent Wisdom Weisz dropping on the lustrous floor.His smile was making her scream on the inside as if she just saw her favorite k-pop idol smiling on her very side.Denver cleared his throat before speaking. “Indeed she is. In fact, we’ll be wed a month from now.”‘A Month!!!’ Wisdom was shrieking again, on the walls of her own mind and consciousness. She would have disagreed and countered Denver if not for the ridiculous surprised faces of Francine and Richard. Both are gaping as if they never expected that a delicate dove like Wisdom Weisz couldn’t marry the richest man in town. After all, luck is unpredictable; so is destiny itself.She just plastered a sweet fiancée-ish smile on her beautiful face. “Shall we go into the penthouse now, honey?”Well, at least Wisdom has a cute and innocent-sounding voice as she faced Denver and spoke those sweet words as if she just gobbled an entire bag of white sugar. Francine is no

“Well, well, well. The great Mister Denver Giordano had managed to unleash a pool of release just by the sight of my beautiful naked painting!”Henry Harker’s voice startled Denver. His bestfriend was already inside his penthouse unbeknownst to him.“How did you—” He shook his head in dismay. Denver almost forgot that Henry’s the youngest son of this condominium’s owner.‘Surely, this kid is very much lucky that I still have self-control within me,’ he thought while pretending he wasn’t bothered.“Why didn’t you come to my exhibit earlier, Dennie?” A hint of slight irritation was heard on Henry’s voice. Denver felt like being thrown in the pit of a volcano due to that question.“I was busy.”“Busy with what?”“With who is the right question, Henry.”Henry’s face brightened as if he already knew the cause of his apparent busy-ness.“I see. What’s her name?”Denver was astonished. “I didn’t say it was a girl.”“I know you, Denver. You’re only very ‘busy’ if it involves with a girl, a wo
