The billionaire's hired bride
Ana Reed is wallowing in huge debts with no means in sight to pay them,until she meets Asher Howard, the grandson and CFO of the multi billionaire company, Howard Companies,who offers her money more than enough to pay her debts in exchange for a contract marriage with him. With her creditors threatening her and the mouth watering offer, Ana is left with no choice than to accept Asher's proposal.
Will their fake marriage blossom into something more beautiful or will the several obstacles such as Asher's conniving and overly ambitious cousin who is determined to bring Asher down, his wife, who would support her husband in everything he does, Ana's dirty past as a drug dealer and Asher's inner demons, swallow them whole?

Chapter: Chapter 4I gave the faces around the huge dining table another once over and quickly dipped my head down.They were all judging eyes. Not even one had a friendly look.I knew marrying into an elite family like the Howard's,even though it was a fake marriage, was going to be everything intimidating but I didn't expect everybody in the room looking at me like I had two heads. Even the older women.Especially the older women."So dear, what do you do for a living?" A middle aged woman asked while slicing a piece of meat on her plate. I recognized her as one of Asher's paternal aunts, Loretta.When Asher told me we were going to have dinner with his family two days ago, I started panicking. And when his driver came over to my apartment to take me to the boutique to buy new clothes , per Asher's orders, I almost fainted when I saw the price tag of one of the dresses. If I added the pay I got from all my part time jobs for ten years, they still would not buy the dress. That further gave me more k

Chapter: Chapter 3When Xander told me he had forwarded my email address to his friend, now my business partner, so he could send the contract to me and we could arrange to meet. I immediately got nervous because I pictured that being the multi billionaire that Xander's friend was, he would certainly want to meet in a five star restaurant and that thought alone made me anxious.Not that I had anything against five star restaurant, it was just that I'd feel out of place. Like I don't belong there. Which I certainly don't.But when a mail notification popped up on my phone, boy was I wrong.I inclined my neck to have a better view of the restaurant. *Mamma Mia Eats*This is my second time spelling out the name of the restaurant where I was supposed to meet my future contract husband, and it still made me cringe.What the fuck was "Mamma Mia Eats?"Then the overthinking kicked in. Was Xander's billionaire friend a weirdo? I never got the full details of who his friend was, what he looked like,how old h

Chapter: Chapter 2" Ana! "Startled, I looked up at my boss, Xander, and raised an eyebrow questioningly." I called you severally but you didn't hear. Why are you so out of it today? You even look so tired. " Xander said worriedly.I gave him a weak smile, " I'm fine. Just in my thoughts.""Are you sure? It's not about your creditors, right? " He mentioned carefully.My eyes widened slightly, " What? No. No, it's not about them. I'm fine really."Xander shrugged and headed to the kitchen.Sweet Tooth was a bakery shop where I did one of my part-time jobs as a waitress.It was not really big, although they had their busy days, like on weekends.Maybe because of the sweet, savoring smell of pastries and cakes being baked in the kitchen.Or because of the warm, cozy feeling I always got whenever I stepped into the shop.Or probably because of the owner, Xander, the nicest boss I've ever had.I just really loved Sweet Tooth. It felt like home there and my time there was like a breath of fresh air.Xander

Chapter: Chapter 1The warm breeze of the summer night hit my face, flipping my hair in various directions as I walked home. My fourth shift of the day just ended and it was a quarter past ten. I was beyond exhausted and that was no surprise considering I currently had four part-time jobs that I was juggling in a day. It was extremely hard to make ends meet, and even harder being an orphan. My total pay from the four part-time jobs I was doing was not even near enough to cover all the bills. It had been months since we turned on the heater in the apartment, because I was unable to pay the bills, luckily for us, it was summer, but I would have to work extra hard to pay the heating bills because summer was almost over. I needed to find more jobs.Better paying ones.Not that I had vast options though.My highest academic qualification was my high school diploma.My phone dinged, indicating a text notification.I swiped out my phone from my worn-out purse, and my older sister, Diane's name displayed on

Besides I thought they were supposed to be in their respective homes sleeping through the day." He said raising himself from the bed."I know right but urgent matters requires urgent attention." Derrick replied with his hands on his waist."Did something go wrong with Henry?" He asked slowly with his eyes down."You know already. He wants to bring the poor boy before the high members and that would be the death of the kid." He explained."Look are you helping us or not?" "And why would you of all people ask me that?" I am obviously still here so I can help in whatever way I can and you are asking me if I am helping or not." Santiago replied looking at Derrick whilst shaking his head."You could have saved us this stress by coming with me immediately I mentioned it instead of us having a discussion." Derrick said and tu

Her mother pressed further."Is this about the search team?" She asked."Yes mom. It is." She said playing with her nails."Do you care to share?" Her mother said and took her by the arm to the dining table so they could sit."Actually, we found the spy at the party." She started."Ohh, my goodness. That is such wonderful news." Her mother said beaming with smiles."But we can not gain easy access to where he thinks Garrett keeps the hybrid. It is in a supposed basement in his chambers and Derrick and the alpha have been against going to look for Dahila since it is a very dangerous thing for unskilled people like us." She continued."

Chapter: Chapter 112Garrett's POV"Have you seen what Dahila and her little friend have been up to?" He asked his bodyguard who just entered his room."Good morning alpha." The bodyguard greeted."I asked you a question which I was requesting an answer to not some greetings." He replied with a straight face."I am sorry alpha. I have no idea what they have been up to it kare since I have been putting things together for the annihilation day." The bodyguard explained and apologized."And you preparing for the annihilation does not make you create time to see what they have been doing? How then did you make it to becoming my bodyguard if you can not even multitask or place eyes on them?" He asked tilting his head sideways so he could get a better view of the bodyguard whose face was slightly bent towards the floor."I am sorry alpha. I was just carried away but that but I promise to make amends." He apologized."You ruined the fun already, you are no fun." Garrett replied shaking his head negatively."Do n

Chapter: Chapter 111Madison's POV"Are you kidding me right now?" She said furiously."I should have asked to meet someone whom I do not know besides even if we had met I would still not have agreed to go out with you." She fired at Theodore."What do you take me for? I am just so glad I even did not ask to see you cause how would it have felt and sounded to the ears learning that my boyfriend sold out my best friend?" She questioned laughing softly."Asides the issue you have from home with your mom's illness and that of your dad. You are a psychopath who needs to be treated because no sane person will think the way you do or act like you have been acting."Madison said without holding words back."Calm down Maddie. It will be fine." Abigail said hugging Madison trying to calm her down."Did you use the abduction method for other hybrids too?" Derrick continued his questioning."I have nothing to do with the abduction. My job is just for me to fish out the hybrids and then the rest is left to Garrett."

Chapter: Chapter 110"Santiago will you just spill the person's name and stop with this suspense." Zayne said frustrated."Calm down Zayne. It is just hard for each and everyone of us to process and say this." Xavier said."Zayne I told you to comport yourself. Jason and Jayden what are you doing guys doing to control what Zayne is doing?" Derrick said flaring up."He is far from the poolside. We made him leave cause of a scenario like this." Jason sighed and replied.Bang bang bang."I think that might be Zayne." Abigail said with fear in her eyes."Santiago open up." Zayne ordered from outside."Do you think it is okay to let him in?" Madison questioned."Let him in since he is there." Derrick responded."Okay." Xavier said looking at everyone's face as he walked towards the door."Leave it. I will get the door."

Chapter: Chapter 109Abigail's POV"I can not believe people were really going to turn up this much." She said surprised at the number of people present at the party."I am a little surprised but not too surprised. Even students other than those from our class are present, see that girl over there she is not in our class and a few others that I cannot even spot right now." Abigail replied."It still does not matter if they are from our classes or not. When it is time for the game we are going to get everyone's phones off them. We never can tell if the spy had an accomplice among us." Zayne responded to what the girls were discussing through the earbuds."We have got it boss."
