Chapter 1

The warm breeze of the summer night hit my face, flipping my hair in various directions as I walked home. My fourth shift of the day just ended and it was a quarter past ten. I was beyond exhausted and that was no surprise considering I currently had four part-time jobs that I was juggling in a day. It was extremely hard to make ends meet, and even harder being an orphan. My total pay from the four part-time jobs I was doing was not even near enough to cover all the bills. It had been months since we turned on the heater in the apartment, because I was unable to pay the bills, luckily for us, it was summer, but I would have to work extra hard to pay the heating bills because summer was almost over. I needed to find more jobs.Better paying ones.Not that I had vast options though.My highest academic qualification was my high school diploma.My phone dinged, indicating a text notification.I swiped out my phone from my worn-out purse, and my older sister, Diane's name displayed on

Chapter 2

" Ana! "Startled, I looked up at my boss, Xander, and raised an eyebrow questioningly." I called you severally but you didn't hear. Why are you so out of it today? You even look so tired. " Xander said worriedly.I gave him a weak smile, " I'm fine. Just in my thoughts.""Are you sure? It's not about your creditors, right? " He mentioned carefully.My eyes widened slightly, " What? No. No, it's not about them. I'm fine really."Xander shrugged and headed to the kitchen.Sweet Tooth was a bakery shop where I did one of my part-time jobs as a waitress.It was not really big, although they had their busy days, like on weekends.Maybe because of the sweet, savoring smell of pastries and cakes being baked in the kitchen.Or because of the warm, cozy feeling I always got whenever I stepped into the shop.Or probably because of the owner, Xander, the nicest boss I've ever had.I just really loved Sweet Tooth. It felt like home there and my time there was like a breath of fresh air.Xander

Chapter 3

When Xander told me he had forwarded my email address to his friend, now my business partner, so he could send the contract to me and we could arrange to meet. I immediately got nervous because I pictured that being the multi billionaire that Xander's friend was, he would certainly want to meet in a five star restaurant and that thought alone made me anxious.Not that I had anything against five star restaurant, it was just that I'd feel out of place. Like I don't belong there. Which I certainly don't.But when a mail notification popped up on my phone, boy was I wrong.I inclined my neck to have a better view of the restaurant. *Mamma Mia Eats*This is my second time spelling out the name of the restaurant where I was supposed to meet my future contract husband, and it still made me cringe.What the fuck was "Mamma Mia Eats?"Then the overthinking kicked in.

Chapter 4

I gave the faces around the huge dining table another once over and quickly dipped my head down.They were all judging eyes. Not even one had a friendly look.I knew marrying into an elite family like the Howard's,even though it was a fake marriage, was going to be everything intimidating but I didn't expect everybody in the room looking at me like I had two heads. Even the older women.Especially the older women."So dear, what do you do for a living?" A middle aged woman asked while slicing a piece of meat on her plate. I recognized her as one of Asher's paternal aunts, Loretta.When Asher told me we were going to have dinner with his family two days ago, I started panicking. And when his driver came over to my apartment to take me to the boutique to buy new clothes , per Asher's orders, I almost fainted when I saw the price tag of one of the dresses. If I added the pay I got from all my part time jobs for ten years, they still would not buy the dress. That further gave me more k
