As if Lena's day couldn't be any worse, a car sped past her, sending filthy water over her, and the driver didn't even have the courtesy to stop and apologize! One thing Lena knew was that the driver was related to the Josh family and that she despised him. Upon returning home, Lena gets news that her fiance is cheating on her and when she confronts him, he doesn't deny it. Heartbroken, Lena goes to a club to quell her emotions and ends up having a one-night stand with a stranger who happens to be the driver. It wasn't until a week later that Lena got to realize the stranger was Asher Josh, a friend of her fiance. On the day of Lena's wedding, she discovers her fiance eloped with another woman. Lena is once again heartbroken and she is about to call off the wedding when Asher offers to take her fiance's place. Lena is adamant but agrees and when she marries Asher, she receives shocking news.

CHAPTER 1

Author's POV The blaring horns of New York City’s late-night traffic hammered against Lena’s skull, intensifying the ache already gnawing at her temples. Rain drizzled down relentlessly, drenching the crowded streets in a damp, miserable haze. “Hey! Some of us need some rest after a long day of work! What's with all this hold-up about?” a man hollered from his luxury Audi, his voice lost in the chaos. Lena exhaled sharply and held her knee, trying to stop her head from aching. Five months. Five whole months of relentless job hunting, yet nothing. It didn’t make sense. She had graduated at the top of her class, valedictorian of her Master's program in accounting with a stellar 4.2 GPA. That should have opened doors. Instead, she was stuck balancing jobs three jobs as a waitress, salonist, and daycare teacher just to get by. But in a city ruled by the elite, academic achievements meant nothing compared to wealth, connections— and curves. "Big boobs and a fat ass," she muttered, ...

CHAPTER 2
Lena stood frozen in the center of her living room, her body trembling as the sounds of pleasure from her fiancé and the sex worker echoed in her ears.She had often overheard women at the salon sharing stories of infidelity, their voices heavy with pain. Yet, until now, she had never truly grasped the devastation of being betrayed.Unable to endure the torment any longer, she threw her phone aside and then collapsed onto the floor in a storm of tears.She had loved Drake with everything she had. Their love story began after they both had faced rejection from their first job interview at Mac’s Business Institute. Drawn in by his charm, Lena had made the first move, and their connection had deepened swiftly—sharing laughter, late-night talks, and ultimately being intimate with him on her rooftop. Giving him her purity had only intensified her feelings for him.It was she who had proposed to him, not only because of the constant pressure from her parents to marry or risk dying a disgra

CHAPTER 3
"Asher, Mister Josh would like to see you now," Jade Baker, Robert Josh's personal assistant, announced from the doorway of Asher's office."Thank you, Jade," Asher replied with a faint, nearly imperceptible smile.As she turned to leave, Jade peeked back inside and whispered, "If it’s about marriage again, let me know. I’ll knock some sense into him."Asher shook his head, suppressing a laugh. "Get back to work before Father thinks we’re slacking off again."Jade grinned and as forwith she left, Asher’s face darkened. His relationship with his father had never been close. Robert Josh was strict, demanding, and emotionally distant, always expecting perfection from his children. Asher especially hated his father's constant pressure for him to marry.Jade was one of the few who supported him, especially when his mother, Gabrielle Josh, wasn't around—her presence was far more intimidating. Jade, now 48 and unmarried, had once been a hostess before joining the Josh family’s business. She

CHAPTER 4
“Rise and shine, dumbass.” Lena groaned, squinting against the sunlight slicing through the curtains. A sharp ache pulsed in her head, making her wince and groan louder. “Oh, God! Lena, I've told you to stop drinking so much.” She clutched her forehead, slowly sitting up. Her blurry vision made her best friend's outline appear hazy, but she could make out Abby standing by the window, hands on her waist, glaring in disapproval. “It’s Saturday. Why are you waking me up so early?” Lena whined, leaning back as pain throbbed through her head— and other sensitive parts of her body. “Wait... How did I even get here? I thought I was at the club last night.” Abby didn’t answer. “Why are you being all mysterious? What, are you Silent Sam now?” Abby was the chatty type especially anytime she had sex with a guy or found dirt against bitches. Lena distinctly remembered Abby eyeing a guy with auburn hair at the bar, promising to drag him to a club room and dominate him. Yet, here she was—

CHAPTER 5
Asher felt the slightest urge to tell Drake to shut his mouth. He was no one to be fooled, he knew Drake was a sycophant. The only reason Drake invited him over to his house was to squeeze out money from him.There was no need for all the stunts Drake was pulling up, in Asher's opinion. It wasn't a big deal to throw money on a pauper.' I mean, isn't that the only thing they are good for?'Asher regretted not driving into Drake when he stopped in front of his car, smiling like an idiot." So, you cheated on your fiance because she isn't as busty as you want her to be?" Asher said in a tone dripping with unhidden disdain.Drake laughed. " You make it sound like she is even busty."' I wonder how a woman could even end up with a guy like this.' Asher thought, tartly.His eyes caught a glimpse of Lena who was staring at his car like it was the most absurd thing in the world as they stepped out of the house.His expression turned even more sour, looking at her.What was she doing here? Ha

CHAPTER 6
Asher walked into his office just to see Josiah, sitting on his office chair, legs crossed on the desk whilst watching Joker, displaying from the projector to the large screen.Josiah barked out a laughter, clearly enjoying the movie and ignoring Asher who was walking to him, with a clenched jaw.Asher grabbed Josiah's leg and pushed it away energetically, causing him to fall to the ground. Asher leaned on his desk, waiting for the seat to warm up so he wouldn't feel the heat from Josiah's ass on his." Not a very nice way to greet your best friend," Josiah said, standing up and dusting the sides of his black pants."I have warned you several times to quit sitting on my chair," Asher glared at Josiah. "How did you even get inside my office?- And please turn that shit off." " Just because you don't like watching movies doesn't mean it's shit," Josiah switched off the projector. He took a sit in front of Asher's desk. " You arrived late today."" How did you get into my office?" Asher

CHAPTER 7
Whilst Asher was relishing the news he'd found out about Lena, she was running towards Maria's hair salon, holding three bags filled with shampoos and hair conditioners in both hands.When Lena raced inside the salon, she came to a halt and let out a heavy sigh when she saw how many people had come for a hairdo.They had doubled since fifteen minutes ago, she stepped out." Chica, drop the bags and get to work." Maria, the owner of the salon, stated as she applied red dye to a customer's hair.Lena lazily arranged the shampoos and hair conditioners in the designated compartments. She worked three jobs: a daycare teacher in the mornings, a salonist in the afternoons, and a waitress at night, yet didn't feel like she was doing enough. " Hey Len, how about you give me a haircut." James Weasley waved Lena over with a cheeky smile on his face.Lena grinned, happy seeing him. She took an apron and put it on before heading to the barbing section where he was."Good afternoon, James." Lena g

CHAPTER 8
Lena stepped out of her bedroom with her heart in her mouth. The sound of Drake and his brothers bantering and loud pop music filled the whole house. Lena could immediately detect the stink of alcohol emanating from the living room. As she approached the living room, her gaze was drawn to the kitchen, which was a complete mess.Bottles of alcohol and takeout plates were littered on the floors, making Lena want to throw up.She despised it when Drake's siblings or friends came to visit; they usually trashed the house or caused the cops to stop by due to their loudness.Lena peered from the corner of her eyes at the woman sitting on Drake's lap. She only had a bra and G-string on. Her lips were on Drake's neck, biting it while his hand was squeezing her ass.When Drake's gaze shifted from his siblings to her, Lena gazed straight ahead. " Don't tell me you are going for another interview." Drake gave her a disdainful laugh and looked her over from top to bottom. "When will you comprehe

CHAPTER 9
Matteo drove the car while Lena and Asher sat in the backseat.They made sure to keep a good distance from themselves as their bodies were touching the car doors.Lena breathed in the scent of pineapple and vanilla. It smelt so natural in the car that his stomach began to rumble. She had never felt so comfortable sitting down in a car before, the seats were like soft pillows. She wanted to thank Matteo for the low music he played over the drive, but she was very much still angry at him. The luxurious car almost made her forget her motive for being inside till Asher spoke, looking at her, and holding a smirk.Well, it was hard not to get amused by her." Are we going to get over this or what?" He snapped her out of her trance.Lena looked at him quickly, her soft gaze hardened instantly. She looked down at the mini briefcase on her lap and searched for the paper with interview questions written on it.She thought it fair to add her questions since she was the one conducting the inter
