Mom and Mike walked into my study and sat on the chairs in front of my table like students being addressed by the principal.
“Our plan was successful.” Mom said with joy in her voice.
“Mike, where is the paperwork?” I asked and he gave them to me.
I handed him a check of six million dollars for getting rid of those nuisances and he left my office to catch a plane going to Florida.
Mom was the only one that could handle the documents. I handed them to her and she left my study to do the necessary.
She gave me a peck and I pecked her back. I loved my mum and would do anything to put a smile on her face.
Now it was time to get his billion dollar wife.

Thanks Donovan.” “You’re welcome.” He walked out of the office.

His secretary’s desk was empty. “Hi Audrey.” He smirked as she walked into his office. “Well, good afternoon.” She plopped on the couch. “You’ve been acting off.” “You’ve been trying to ignore me for the past month.” “Yeah?” “Why?” “Your whole energy was really putting me off, your vibe was an even sadder story and don’t you even dare try to put the blame on all that went down.” “What?

Ana’s POVAs I headed to the cafeteria, I was searching for my money in my bag. I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into someone. I felt something cold spill on my shoes and the hem of my jeans. I looked down at it and saw that it was soda. I groaned and looked at the culprit. Ace.He was the hottest guy in this school. His muscles were taut and I could see his abs through his shirt. He had a sharp jaw and a small, perfect nose. "Are you done checking me out?” He sassed. "You wish I was checking you out, haven't you heard of watching your way while walking?” "At least a sorry will do."I said.“Wait, you bumped into me. Therefore, you don't have the right to sass at me." He said which made me even more furious. "Excuse me, you walked right into me, spilled your freaking drink on my shoe and you are telling me it’s all my fault? You’ve got some nerve motherfucker!" I yelled at him. “What?” He looked taken aback.“What?” I frowned further.“What’s wrong?” He asked tenderly.“

I paced my room thinking of what to do. There was no excuse to give Dad. I was expected to get married in two months and finally take over what’s rightfully mine.I was beyond ready for the job’s stress and responsibility. But the marriage part, not so much.I was fine with my numerous one night stands. That lifestyle best suited me. It was also a bonus knowing I didn’t even need to speak to have them head over heels for me. My looks and appearance already seal the deal way ahead.I could easily date any girl of my choice but they are far too cheap for my taste. I wanted a girl who wouldn't drool over me. One who could stand her ground and not follow my every whim like a hopeless puppy.I poured myself a shot of vodka and downed it immediately, feeling the cool liquid burn down my throat. My hair was disheveled and I looked like crap. There was a stubble on my face and I had small bags under my eyes.I couldn’t process my thoughts at the moment but one stood out. I couldn’t lose it al

She smiled and nodded. “Yay!” he yelled as he jumped up and down, then raised his hand signaling to her to pick him up which she did and closed the door. “So what would you like to eat?” She asked. “Pancakes and maple syrup please.” He smiled, quite excited. “Aye Aye little man!” She said with a mock salute, earning a fit of laughter from him. “My name is Ace. What's yours?” he asked. “Marilyn.” She said, smiling. “Marie.” He grinned cheekily.“Marie?” She chuckled.“I'm gonna call you Marie.” He said smiling, as he avoided her eyes. He was shy, Marilyn liked him already. “I like it.” She said making a blush creep up his cheek. He was so adorable. He had all o
