They aren't mates.

She knew that even before she turned 18 because how could the moon goddess match two people who are the exact opposite? She's lively when he's gloomy; she's all about fun when all he talks about is responsibility.

She hates him, and as far as she knows, he hates her, too.

And that's not just because she rejected him in their high school's crowded cafeteria, with a mocking tone no less.

The tone was what she regrets the most right now--

Now when she's standing in his office on the 66th floor, begging for his help.

"Why are you here?" The man lay back leisurely, his lips curved in pleasure.

Can she answer that she wants to punch that smirk off his face?

"You know why I'm here!" She barely managed to keep her tone cool.

"I really don't." The smile on his face grew wider.

"My dad is in a coma, and mom has also fallen sick..." She took a deep breath, gathering her courage and dropping her pride, "the shareholders of my dad's company is looking to rip him of his title. I need one billion dollars to keep the company."

"What do I get out of this?" He nodded, looking impatient.

He obviously already knew about her situation and was just teasing her with it! Her fists shook due to her anger.

"Two billion," She kept her head cool, her family needs her right now, "You will get two billion in return once our company pass this crisis."

"Do I seem lacking of money?" He finally laughs, his eyes taunting.

"...?!"

It took her several deep breath to force the tears back into her eye sockets.

"What does it take for you to help?!" She failed to keep her voice low but she barely noticed. He is her last resort when all the rich families in the city are looking for biting a chunk off her poor father at this minute.

She needed that money.

She doesn't know if she's super lucky or unlucky that her one true enemy is capable of helping, and is not participating in the dissecting of her family's business.

The man stands up from his luxury seat, finally.

Sorting his obviously expensive suit lazily for longer than she could bare, he reaches his hand to her with a smirk: "Marry me, and you will get the money. No other strings attached."

"Are you fucking crazy?!" She snapped, slapping his hand away.

He just stands there, smiling at her. Not even looking mad at her rudeness.

There could be a billion reasons why he wants to marry her, and none of them would be good with the last of them be "love". That's all she knew.

"Aren't my family humiliated enough?!" She finally burst into tears, "I did reject you, I'm sorry! But humiliating you wasn't my intention!"

She just didn't care about his feelings either.

For the first time, the man stopped smiling. He gazes at her for a moment with an inscrutable look before he opens his mouth again: "Revenge is not what I'm after."

"Then what is?!" She snaps, still in tears, like a bullied but mean kitten.

"Hmm...marriage?" He let out a low laugh, handing her a tissue.

"..."

"What do you got do lose, hmm?" He smirks, tilting his head to find her eyes when she turns to avoid his tease, "A husband on paper for a billion dollars. I'd do it if it were me."

She throws him a murderous look and he burst into laughter.

She doesn't have a choice.

That day she married her one, true enemy...well, on paper. She doesn't even get a wedding. It's long after that horrifying day when she almost has forgotten how desperate and scared she was when she went to him for help that he told her--

You have always been the one thing I wanted, baby doll.

It costs not just money, but lives if anyone dares to try. Not even "the shark" -- the iron-wrist business man, his own father -- could control him.

  • The Path Of Writing   The Million Dollar QuestionS

    Q1 How to make money with my fiction? There are only a few things you CAN do in this career: to write, to modify, to publish. When you have an idea but your editor doesn’t like it, your chance of making money off your work is: Not write … You guessed it: prove the editor wrong with good work In short, you won't get paid if you don't write, but if you can get to high quality eventually, not even a non-exclusive offer can stop you from making a real profit.

    You might already have a good story, and even a great way to tell it, but I realized that some of you might not know that people already have certain commonly agreed terms on what to call what you are doing, and since I know how much you hate to g00gle, I'll g00gle them for you :)First and foremost, the second most important because no terms dare to claim to be more important--The Inciting IncidentBefore I tell you why it is the most important for online fiction, and no, it's not because our editors only require the first 5000 words of your story to make an offer, let me tell you what g00gle thinks it is: “What Is an Inciting Incident in Writing? The inciting incident of a story is the event that sets the main character or characters on the journey that will occupy them throughout the narrative. Typically, this incident will upset the balance within the main character's world.”From the website: https://www.masterclass.com/articles/writing-101-what-is-an-inciting-incident-learn-how

  • The Path Of Writing   Tips - Character

    If an outline is the back bone of a story, then the characters are the veins.The whole story is presented through the characters' actions, decisions, and emotions, and it's the characters of a story that brings it to life.Even if you can make a story work without an outline, you can't without characters.For main characters, we will talk about characters in these parts: character setting, character arch, and character building. [TBC in case I missed some important parts]. Supporting characters will be simpler, and would only have one part about them.1 Character Setting2 Character Arc3 Character Building4 Supporting Characters-----1 Character SettingThis part provides the drive of your story to move forward, so it's VERY important, the kind of I-cannot-stress-enough important!!!G00gle if you don't know what character setting is.

  • The Path Of Writing   Outline Sample

    To those who are looking for guides on how to write an outline~An outline is the bone of your story that supports your content and keeps it in shape. It can help you check whether your emotion flow is in place.-----1 Theme (in one sentence)This is ONE sentence describing NOT what happened in the story or in the beginning of the story, but to explain: what is the emotional experience you are offering your readers with this story.Eg: Only after their divorce, did he realize how much she did for him and how much she was worth and meant to him, but when he went chasing her, he was left with just regret and pain because she was no longer his.Please do know that this is what decides your climax!!! Don't lose focus on it.2 Main Characters' portraitThe core struggles of the characters decide the dynamics of the whole story, which is crucial. Please do understand that it's the core struggles of the characters that decide how the story will go and how it would end. Please do fill it wit
