The Billionaire's Annoying Ward

People might think Melissa is heartless. When her father died, she didn’t even shed a single tear. Well, what do they expect? It’s not as if she’s close to her old man.Since her mother died, her father was never home. She could count with her fingers the number of times they met in the last few years. He wasn’t affectionate and aside from the excessive financial support, there’s nothing else she received from him. She did try to get close but he’s the one who isn’t willing. He said it was enough that he’s providing for her material needs. She shouldn’t expect more. So she did.Right now, all she’s feeling is annoyance. Melissa is irritated because her source of funds has gone. And no, she’s not receiving anything as her inheritance. Legally, it should be hers. That is, if he hadn’t written that freaking Last Will and Testament naming his best friend as the recipient and holder of it until she turns thirty years old.Like… really? Thirty? She’s only twenty-three! There’s what? Seven m

Klyde’s assumption was wrong. The young woman showed up the next day.Melissa is fuming in anger. He didn’t send her money! She waited the whole time yesterday and nothing came in. She thought she made that clear to him. She needed the money yesterday. Immediately!“The lawyer will be in later this morning. You came earlier than I thought.” Klyde explained after listening to her irritating rant. He has half a mind to call security and throw her out the building.“If you don’t behave yourself, I swear I’ll have you dragged out of my office. I didn’t think you would be scandalous.”“Me? Scandalous? We’re in private. It’s only scandalous when uninvolved people see.” Melissa rolled her eyes at him.“Why don’t you wait outside? You’re bothering me. Ask my secretary when the lawyer will be in, if you want to speak with her yourself.”“Is it really difficult to just send me money? You’re a billionaire, aren’t you? I’m sure you can spare a few grand.”“Aren’t you twenty-three? Who already ear

When Melissa checked her father’s mansion the next day, to say she was shocked was an understatement. She didn’t know he already sold it years ago. It’s a good thing she didn’t bring her luggage. She would’ve been so embarrassed to force her entry.Still, she felt a little nostalgic. She still had some good memories of her mother in that place. Her father hasn’t been home since his wife died. Did it haunt him? The happy memories, knowing he would not see her anymore? Oh, wait. They’re supposed to be together now, wherever people go when they die. Melissa sighed. It’s only starting to sink in that both her parents are gone now.She shook the sad feelings away and returned to her apartment. She needed an intricate plan to trap Mr. Klyde Henderson. Would he be concerned about his reputation? Would a scandal affect his business dealings? Would the market price of his company plummet? Wait, how about her father’s company? It’s also a public corporation which is currently under his manageme

She stared back at him without a word. His expression darkened further as his hand inched closer to her healthy chest. Melissa inhaled sharply when he finally cupped her and squeezed. She bit her lip to prevent herself from moaning.He did taste her, reaching inside the bodice of her dress and freeing one breast to lick and suckle. Her moan escaped her lips as she grasped his coat. His tongue swirled around her soft flesh, evoking pleasure from within her. When he nipped and sucked, she let go and cried out, tightly holding onto his sleeve.But that was it. He simply tasted her. He straightened and stepped backward.Melissa was flushed from both embarrassment and desire. How could he…? He actually did that to her?“You taste good enough. Did you say reward? We’ll see about that. How about you move in to my house today and we’ll discuss further?” He raised an eyebrow at her, but his gaze travelled downwards to her still exposed breast.She took in a deep breath before composing herself

Melissa isn’t innocent. She knew he might taste her again so she excused herself for a few minutes before meeting him at his study. She made herself presentable again. Tried to make herself irresistible, but that may be over the top. They’re both living in this house! It doesn’t make any sense for her to wear her sexy clothing. Those are normally for her bar-hopping.A maid showed her the way to his study and he was sitting behind his desk. Much like in his office earlier in the day. Her throat went dry when she recalled what happened between them.Mentally, she shook her head. You need to get the upper hand in this discussion, she reminded herself.“Take a seat.” His tone was more relaxed than when he was in the office.Alright, she’s liking it so far. There’s no chair in front of his desk so she occupied the couch. She waited for him to speak again.Klyde picked up the document his assistant prepared and he handed it to her.She raised an eyebrow as she accepted it.Melissa frowned
