The Billionaire's Bargain

For as long as I can remember, I’ve never really done anything I loved, I was born to be prim and proper as the lady of the Carter household, my mom, a retired pageant queen and model, and my Dad, CEO to one of the biggest conglomerate in the world, well at least biggest after the Russo’s Empire, my dad’s biggest rival and ex best friend.

I needed to find a way around this, I knew how much influence the Woods held and how far they can go to make sure no one invest in the company, we have being surviving on the investments and making a name for ourselves with it without my f
