Kelsey Parker is an average 23 year-old woman with financial needs. With her little brother in the hospital, her mother working as a babysitter, and her not being able to finish college, money has been pretty tight to make their ends meet. Mason King is a billionaire. He can buy anything he wants being the CEO of the company his father is going to pass on to him. At the age of 25, his grandmother thinks that he should stop messing around with women and start settling down. His grandmother makes a deal with him that if he doesn't get married in three months, she will ask her son to take the company out of Mason's hands and instead, give the company to Mason's sister, Ella. Desperate of not wanting to lose the company, Mason hunts for the perfect girl to hire as his bride. He knows that the only perfect woman is Kelsey. What will happen with the two? Will it be a marriage that will break them or make them?

Prologue

"Who are you and what in the world are you doing in my house?!" A pitch voice screamed causing Mason to groan in response. There was a stir on his bed and he heard some shuffling.His brain wasn't functioning very well due to his hungover. Maybe it wasn't very bright to drink too much but he was too stress at work that he needed to do something to relieve it. He felt like his brain was repeatedly being hammered by bricks and he could barely open his eyes."Get out! NOW!" The voice once again screamed making him groan louder. He felt the bed resurfaced and he tried to sit up wanting to know what the whole commotion was about.Suddenly the door opened and a blonde girl left with her clothes wrapped around her. Ella came inside the room with horror and widened eyes by what she had just witness."Mason Emerson King! How many times am I going to tell you to never bring those filthy girls at my home?!" His grandmother spat with venom lacing through her voice."Gran, please stop shoutin...

Not sure what Ch 59-61 were about as they had nothing to do with the story. Otherwise an enjoyable read.

"This is all of it." Hilda, Kelsey's mother, said softly. Kelsey and Hilda both stared at the money they had on the counter by the kitchen. They regarded the small amount of money that they had saved in case of emergency. "Maybe, I should just find another job.""No, mom, you are not getting another job. It's bad enough that you're working already, I don't want you to tire yourself out. Besides, if you get another job, who would take care of Ace and Kyle? They need you here, mom." Kelsey said as she counted the money on the counter. There was around five hundred dollars and it was just enough to pay for their ramshackle apartment."But what are we going to do? sweetheart, Kyle is getting another chemotherapy by the end of the month. I don't know if we are able to pay the fees. And what about his medicines. Then there's the groceries, and the apartment and the electricity and the-""Mom, mom, mom!" Kelsey interrupted her mother. "Relax." She said as Hilda took three deep breaths. "J

"Hey, Margie. I just called to ask you if you know anyone who's hiring. Please call me back as soon as you can, thanks." Kelsey said as she leave a message to her friend and hanged up the phone.She let out a sigh and straightened her clothes. Once she got the wrinkles out of the way, she took her purse and a folder full of copy of her résumé. Today, she was going for a job hunting. She wanted to get a part-time job to help her mother to pay for the bills at home. She just hoped that today someone will hire her.The moment she got off of the bus, the fresh breeze of spring collided with her body. She voluntarily smiled and scanned her surroundings. She was currently in downtown and she looked at different stores that could possibly hire her.She started giving her résumés out to different restaurants, clothes stores, jewelry stores, even cafes, but all the managers told her that they would just call her for an interview if they needed her. She went to the very last store around the

Ace regarded the two ladies in front of him and tilted his head on the side. He looked at Kelsey who was waiting for him to answer. "Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body's hereditary material and can make copies of themselves." He said as he continued to munch on his cookie and stated all the facts without batting an eyelid. Kelsey was completely flabbergasted. She stared at her brother in awe with her jaw dropped open. She couldn't believe that Ace was blurting out facts out of nowhere. She couldn't even memorize a sentence of what he just said by only reading it once. He was absolutely a genius! "See, photographic memory." Paulina said grinning widely at Ace. She let out a chortle and waited for Kelsey's reaction. "T-tha-that is nearly i-impossi

The next morning, Kelsey woke up with a groan. "Wake up, Kelsey!" An annoying voice yelled as the bed continued to bounce up and down. "Wakey, wakes!""5 more minutes!" She said burying her head on her pillow and threw the covers back on herself. Unfortunately, someone took the covers off and the cold wind blew meeting her pale skin."C'mon, mom already left and you promise we are going to look after Kyle." He said as he sat on the bed and hung his head low. When Kelsey felt the stillness on the bed and quietness of her brother, she quickly sat up. She suddenly regretted ignoring him because the tears that were forming in his eyes melted her heart. She rushed to him and cuddled him between her arms."I'm sorry, I promise we'll go. C'mon, don't cry." She shushed him as she rocked them back and forth. Tears flooded his cheeks and guilt ate Kelsey as she heard him sob quietly. "No baby, please don't cry.""Is he going to get better? When is he coming home?" He asked looking up with h

The next day, Mason was once again sitting on his office chair and looked through the pile of résumés. He separated the files from men to women then from women to gorgeous women. When he had three résumés in his hand, he called Nina in."Nina, I want an interview with these three. They seem to be the only women I'm interested in hiring." He said bluntly as he handed the folders to Nina."Yes, sir, right away." She nodded her head and headed back to her office. Nina was a beautiful woman. She had golden hair, fierce green eyes, and slim yet sexy body. It was one of the reasons why Mason hired her as his secretary. Not only was she smokin' hot, but she was also intelligent and punctual. She worked professionally and diligently. She never complained about any of the crazy jobs that Mason asked her to do. She would always say, 'Yes, sir.' No questions, no complains!Mason stared at the screen of his desktop where the pictures of the three women were plastered on. The first one had blon

"Bro, face it. It's hopeless." Ricky said as Mason let out a groan and smacked his head on the table."I mean, Blondie was too clingy." Ricky reminded as the girl's face flashed before his eyes."Hi, I'm Chelsea." She giggled flirtatiously."I'm Mason King and this right here is my business partner, Mr. Richard Hellman." Mason introduced as he beckoned her to sit on the chair across from him. But to his surprise, she sprawled herself on his table and placed her long tanned legs on it sexily. Her dress was way too short for both Ricky and Mason's liking."Tell me, do you like what you see, Mr. King?" She whispered seductively as Mason voluntarily shivered in disgust."This is an interview, Ms...." He looked down on her résumé and found her last name. "Castillo." He continued. "Not a club.""So, you're suggesting that you want me in your bed tonight?" She asked batting her eyebrows. 'Wow, talk about desperate.' Mason thought."I'm suggesting for you to leave." He announced earnin

"Yo-Your what?!" She stuttered. She tried to clean her ears and rubbed her eyes. She even tried pinching herself waiting for the moment that she would be waking up on her bed. Unfortunately, she was still seated on the comfortable seat staring at the amazingly looking guy in front of her."My hire bride, Ms. Parker. You will be posing as my wife." He repeated with the same firmness on his voice.She stared crazily at him for a few seconds before harsh words exited her mouth. "Are you crazy? Me, get married, to you? Is this some kind of a sick joke?!""Look, I know it might be a little overwhelming and too much information for a day, but I need to find myself a bride and get married within the next three months." He explained."So you mean to tell me that we are getting married? In three months?!" She asked flabbergasted."Fake marriage, and that is, if you are willing to take this job. It's one in a life time chance, Miss Parker." He stated as the phrase kept ringing in her head.

Kelsey shook her head firmly and took a deep breath. When she felt like she was ready, she went inside the glass door and made her way to the booth."Good morning, Mr. King." She greeted formally with a tight smile on her face."Ahh, you're five minutes early. I'm impressed." He said nodding his head in the process. "Have a seat." He ordered as Kelsey sat on the connected booth across from him."Mr. King, I would-""First of all, if you're going to agree to this arrangement and accept my offer, I think you have to call me by my first name. It would be weird calling me so formally, is it not?" He asked with a raise eyebrow.Kelsey shot him a weirded look and shook her head. "Okay...Mason. I would like to hear your terms and see the contract, please.""Here." He said handing her a folder. "Everything is explained in there. How you would act as my wife, the story of how we met, and other relevant details. Do you need time to read the contract over?" He questioned as she started rea
