All Chapters of The Billionaire's Marriage Contract : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

There was no one, absolutely no one with her when she was teased that night. The hands coming down on her, trying to ravage her body, gripping her shoulders and tearing open her shirt. Splash! "Faith, are you alright?" Faith felt the water droplets on her face and looked at Jeanie, her favourite co-worker and best friend who worked in the marketing department. "I'm good. Just fell asleep." Jeanie patted on her back, "Are you sure, dear? You were probably seeing a nightmare. See, you are sweating like a pig." Faith smiled to herself. Nightmare?Well, her life itself was a series of nightmares.
