Prologue"You are already thirty five, when are you planning to get married?" Desmond Baldwin yelled at his grandson."Grandpa, take it easy. Remember the doctor said you are not to get angry for the sake of your health" a handsome brunette with stoic face, chiseled jaw, light gray eyes said aloofly. He was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, his fingers intertwined as he placed them on his knees, he was putting on a black suit with white shirt and a black pant, he stared at his grandparents indifferently.Desmond looked at his grandson and noticed that him being angry was not going to do the trick, he looked at his wife who was sitting beside him and they communicated with their eyes before he turned to look at his grandson again "little Ray, we are your grandparents and we care about you. Remember we raised you after your parents abandoned you and went to Australia all in the name of some stupid contract. We only want the best for you" he said with a gentle vo

From what I've read so far, this book is amazingly good. From Ray's part to Felicity's part makes it intriguing to read. When picked up it's difficult to put down because of how the author portrays these characters. Big ups man

Chapter one

Raymond called for his assistant immediately he got to work, anybody who saw him knew that he was angry and so no one tried to get in his way. A knock on the door startled him before he composed himself "come in."The door was pushed open and a young man entered, he has a sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes, he was carrying stack of documents and snappily walked to Raymond's desk and dropped them "you...you...you sent for me sir?" He asked nervously.Raymond stared at him coldly "Morris, why did it take you five minutes to get here?""Em...sir, I was still on my way to the office when I received your call, so I hurried up to meet you. I'm sorry if I kept you waiting.""Kept me waiting? Which assistant stays at home until his boss arrives at the officer before him?" Raymond bellowed."I'm so sorry sir but the company resumes by eight hundred, it's still seven fifty five sir. I didn't know you will be here early" Morris tried to defend himself.Raymond eyelashes lo

Chapter two

Katherine walked back to her desk with her heart in her throat, what did she just hear? The boss grandparents refused to hand over the family company to him unless he is married? And what is his solution? He wants to fake a marriage and lead his grandparents under the nose?Katherine shuddered, all these rich families and their problems. She sat on her desk and switched on her computer when a thought suddenly hit her, oh myGod! The boss is not a fool, it's a must he knew she was eavesdropping on his discussion but he just let her go? Did he really do that?Oh God, please help her, please save her job for her, what if the boss decides to put her off her duty? What is she going to do? How will she and little Felicity cope? This job is their only source of money. Oh heaven, she hope the boss will really let her go this time, just why did you eavesdrop on his discussion Katherine? She chided herself, just pray he let's you go this time.She put in her password and logged into h

Chapter three

Katherine got home looking lost, how is she going to go about this? What will she tell her niece? How is she going to put it so that it won't sound like she is giving her away for ten million and a promotion? But come to think of it, she really is isn't she? Katherine heaved a sigh and turned off her car engine, she grabbed her handbag on the passenger's seat and got out of the car.She walked into the house to see Felicity sleeping on the couch, she looked so innocent and naïve, her honey gold hair sprawled all over the couch and her face, Katherine chuckled and made a move to walk closer to her when she heard a sound coming from the kitchen, she changed her direction and walked to the kitchen instead only to see nanny Mercy cooking Hamburger "I wasn't expecting to still meet you since I run a little late today."Nanny Mercy looked up from what she was doing and smiled "I can't bear to leave her alone.""Thank you" Katherine returned the smile "sometimes I don't know how w

Chapter four

Katherine was at lost for words but decided to open up to her "I overheard his discussion with his assistant. His grandparents refused to hand over their family's business to him unless he is married, so he wants to rent a bride for a year which is the duration his grandparents gave him that his marriage will last before he becomes the owner of the Baldwin Empire. As a punishment to me for eavesdropping on his discussion, he decided to make Felicity his rented bride" she shuddered as she mentioned Felicity as a rented bride."My, my, that's a whole lot to take in.""Exactly!""Hmm, so what are you going to do now? You can't say no to a man like that and what's worse, he is your boss.""That's it Mercy, that's why I'm confuse" Katherine buried her face in her palms."But why would he choose to fool his grandparents like that?""I don't know. I guess he just doesn't want to get married for real.""So, his plan is to divorce Felicity immediacy after owning the comp

Chapter five

Six days later, Katherine walked into Felicity room at night, she had been thinking all those days concerning what both Mercy and Raymond said, Mercy was right in what she said and Raymond's deadline was tomorrow, so she really have to talk to Felicity this night if not, she doesn't even know what her boss will do.Felicity was flipping through the pages of a picture book when her door opened, she looked up and a charming  smile graced her lips when she saw her aunt "why aren't you sleeping aunty Katy?""Oh my dear, I should be asking you that too" Katherine chuckled and walked closer to her bed, Felicity made a space for her to sit beside her on the bed which Katherine gladly took, she caressed her face with a sweet smile on her lips "you look so beautiful, just like your mother. I have always believed that her beauty was one of the things that charmed my brother to her."Felicity giggled "aunty, whenever you talk about how beautiful I am, you want to ask me for somet

Chapter six

"Why do I need to wear all these?" Felicity asked with a frown as she stared at the gown and high heels that her aunt brought into her room.Katherine sighed "again with this Felicity? I thought I told you that your husband to be is coming to see you today.""But do I need to wear all these before I will meet him?""Sweetie, you need to look good and charming for him okay? Now enough of this, he will be here any minute now and I still need to style your hair which God help me, takes a lot of time."Felicity pouted but she still let Katherine dress her in the beautiful long navy blue gown. She sat on her dressing table and Katherine helped her to brush her honey gold hair in a neat ponytail. The door was opened and Mercy popped out her head "he is here" she said."Now upsy daisy" Katherine helped her up after helping her put on her high heels. Felicity legs wobbled and she had to grab Katherine's hand to steady herself "come on my dear, just as we have been practicing.

Chapter seven

Felicity nodded and Katherine helped her down the stairs. Raymond looked behind him when he heard footsteps, he froze when he saw the beautiful honey gold hair girl who was coming down the stairs with Katherine behind her and was holding her hand like she was keeping her from falling? His brows creased as he wondered why that would be a thing until he noticed how the young girl was walking. A strong force to laugh popped up in his throat and he had to fight to keep himself from laughing.Morris heard the soft sound almost like a stifling laughter coming from his boss, he looked at him from the corner of his eyes and saw how his boss was really trying to keep himself from laughing, wondering what could be the reason, he looked at the approaching women and immediately picked out why his boss was trying really hard not to laugh and he found himself in the same situation.Katherine smiled to them "welcome to my home sir, assistant Morris" she helped Felicity sit down and sat besid

Chapter eight

Raymond took Felicity to one of the most famous amusement park in New York. Felicity gasped at the beauty of it and ran around like the child she was, she wanted to ride everything ridable and kept pointing at anyone she see, Raymond and Morris followed behind, acting like her body guards. They first registered for her to ride the Ferries Wheel, she got in happily but when she saw that neither Raymond nor Morris got in too, her eyes teared up."What is she doing?" Raymond asked with a frown."I think she is about to cry sir" Morris answered."Why?" Raymond frowned "wasn't she happy about this a while ago? Does she suddenly want to change her ride?""I don't think that is the problem sir.""Then what is it? Be out with it.""I think she wants us to ride with her" Morris answered carefully.Raymond looked at him unbelievably "I should get into that? When I was a child I didn't even ride it and you want me to ride it now?""It's what the lady wants sir."Raym

Chapter nine

Raymond looked around but Morris was no where to be found, he cursed as he lean over to wipe her mouth and cursed again when he realized that her plate has stained his suit, right on then, he decided that one nanny is not even enough to take care of her and so he is going to get more, but getting more means exposing his secret and he couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh.Felicity immediately jumped into her ice cream and Raymond couldn't help but sigh when he saw her smearing her whole face with it, he is in it, he shook his head and prayed Morris should just return and immediately picked up his phone to call him but unfortunately, Morris was watching everything through the window and when he saw Raymond's call, he didn't even think about answering.After she finished her ice cream, Raymond had to wipe her mouth again but this time, he stood up and walked closer to her, after that, he lifted her chin to look at him, their face were so closed and Felicity felt her heart
