Chapter one

Amanda's POVI climbed into the small rental car I had hired from the automobile company on my first day here. It was cheap and old, but my only option for transport whilst I was in Italy. I started the engine and drove off in the direction of the diner where I would be working my second shift for today. My real reason for being in Italy was because I had been sent by the company I worked for in New York. I had begged my boss, who was also my boyfriend, to let me stay back this time. The business trip coincided with my father's memorial and it was not something I wanted to miss. However, he disagreed, arguing that I was the best person for the job since research was my specialty. Arriving here, I realized that this whole trip was just a waste of time. The investor I was supposed to meet with had canceled on short notice. So the one week that my boss was letting me stay here had gone to waste. I was so angry and tried to call my boyfriend, but he didn't answer. Frustrated, I decided

Chapter Two

Amanda's POVStunned, I watched as my boyfriend kissed Candace passionately, a smile still dancing on his lips. "That's great news, baby. Now all I have to do is get rid of that boring ass bitch, Amanda. And then we can get married."Candace frowned. "You still haven't broken up with her? Why?!""Baby, I told you I need time. I'll do it soon."Candace shoved him away. "What the fuck do you need time for?! I don't even know what you see in that bitch, anyway. I let you date and fuck her on the condition that you keep your relationship a secret, but I've had enough, Logan!""Candace-""No. You've had your fun. Now, get rid of her. Besides, we both know you won't be caught dead getting married to a low-life trash like her."I couldn't take it anymore. The tears spilled down my face in rivulets, blurring my vision as I pushed the door open and barged in. Logan and Candace jumped in shock at my sudden entrance. "Why?! Why would you do this to me?!" My chest felt heavy, like it would expl

Chapter Three

Amanda's POVI stayed at the hospital till nightfall, until I was certain that my mother was stable. It was 9 pm when I finally left her ward to find a place to sleep. I had no choice but to spend the night at the hospital, after all. Where else would I go? Those loan sharks had seized our house already. This thought threatened to bring tears to my eyes, but I blinked them back. I had cried enough for one day. I found a storage room full of light blankets, and I took two and spread them on the floor beside my mother's bed. I was just lying down when a nurse walked in. "Excuse me, ma'am, what are you doing?""I…I just want to spend the night here with my mother," I said, praying she wouldn't ask for more details on why I couldn't go home. The nurse shook her head. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but you're not allowed to do that." My chest deflated. "Please, it's just for tonight. It's already so late, and I don't have anywhere else to go.""It's against hospital policy, ma'am. Visitors aren't

Chapter four

Amanda's POVI froze at the spot, whipping around to look at the stranger. For a second I wondered if I'd heard right. Fresh anger filled me up as I clenched my fist, walking closer to him. "W-What? What the hell are you talking about? Are you seriously making some kind of joke?"He stared at me in that cold manner of his, and despite myself, I felt a chill run down my spine. Gosh, he was actually so scary. But I refused to give him the satisfaction of knowing that."You know what? I don't have time for this. Keep your games to yourself," I spat."Marry me," he repeated. "Be my wife for two years only. Of course you shall be rewarded handsomely for your service.""Rewarded?""Twenty million dollars. Half when you sign the contract, and half after the time lapses."My eyes widened, and I swore I could feel my mouth watering at his words. "Twenty million dollars?!"I stared at the man, wondering if this truly was some kind of game. I wondered who he was, and how he could afford such an

Chapter Five

CHAPTER FIVEAmanda's POV"Gosh, Amanda, where have you been?" Vanessa asked the moment I walked into her apartment. She had been pacing around worriedly when I walked in. She rushed to my side immediately. "What happened? You said you were going to the coffee shop to look for another job. I got there and couldn't find you.""Um…I was just…I went strolling."Vanessa stared at me, her eyes narrowing. "You went strolling? You, Amanda, strolling?""Yes," I muttered, walking past her quickly and putting my bag down. Vanessa and I had been friends for years, and she was one person who always knew when I was lying to her. But what was I supposed to say? If I told her I'd gotten married today, she would slap me and probably take me to the hospital for a mental illness! I couldn't tell her…not now. "Really, Amanda? Are you being honest?""Mm hmm. I just went to clear my head."I know she didn't believe me, but she sighed. "Fine, okay. But next time please call me, okay? I was really worried.

Chapter Six

CHAPTER SIXQuinn's POVI never thought I would be here again; in this city, within the walls of this company. It came with averse emotions I could not quite place. But nothing was more unpleasant than being here already.I had no plans to be back in my hometown this soon, and especially to take over the company. This was not supposed to happen, at least not for a few more years. But they left me with no choice. They had pushed me too hard, and now I had to take action somehow. Being close to these people was not on my agenda, but I realized that the only way for me to remain safe was to blend in and get close enough to my enemies.I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I had better things to do with my time than this. This whole thing had ruined my plans. I thought I would not have to worry about the company until I found someone deserving to get married to. But now the criteria stated that I had to be married before becoming the CEO, there was nothing else I could do. I had planned to co

Chapter seven

Amanda's POVAll the anger that was raging in my chest immediately subsided at Quinn's mention of the check. For a few moments I could not speak. I stared at him mouth agape, wondering how on earth I was going to get five million dollars back. It was literally impossible!My mind racked with thoughts and options. Was there a way to get out of this? Being married to Logan's uncle was the strangest, most distasteful situation I had ever found myself in. But if the only way to be free of this was to return the money, what was I supposed to do? The only thing I could think of was taking out another loan to pay off Quinn. But that was a stupid idea. I had barely been able to get my mother and I out of the debt my father left. Taking another loan would be begging to be killed, at this point. I had to think of my mother, and of our lives. Once again I felt helpless. My eyes found their way to Quinn who was still observing me with that emotionless expression. A wave of bitterness flooded th

Chapter Eight

Amanda's POVIt felt like the breath was knocked out of me when Quinn slammed his lips on mine. Hard. At first I was frozen in shock, trying to process what was happening. My hands were frozen at my sides, and my eyes were wide in surprise.Quinn was kissing me! I had no idea how to react at first and I found myself lost in thought, but eventually I gave in, unable to hide the ecstasy that came with having him so close to me. A slight sigh sounded in my throat as his fingers slid into my hair. I kissed him back with equal fervor, reveling in the sweet taste of his lips. He sucked on my lower lip, bringing my head forward to slam our lips harder together. His warm breath hit my face and I felt a wave of desire rush through me. I realized that I did not want the kiss to end. To have his strong arms wrapped around me, cradling me softly. But soon, it was over. The kiss ended just as fast as it began. It had been brief, but it felt so much longer than that. I was nearly breathless when

Chapter Nine

Amanda's POVThere was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Logan finally heaved a sigh. "Amanda.." I shut my eyes tightly in pain, already knowing what was coming next. He wouldn't do it. He just couldn't. And I knew it. My chest burned with pain and I cursed myself silently for letting Logan hurt me again. Once again he had chosen the other girl over me. This was his second rejection, and I let myself be foolishly hopeful. I wanted to slap myself across the face."You know what, Logan, don't bother," I spat. "I don't want anything from you, so keep your damn favors. And for your information, I won't be divorcing your uncle. Do with that what you will."Angrily, I hung up on him and tossed my phone into my purse. The stinging of my eyes made my throat tighten, and it all just felt too much. Hearing his voice again, him choosing his mistress over me, it was hurtful. My chest felt full and heavy, and without warning, tears spurted from my eyes. I tried to stop them b

Chapter Ten

Amanda's POV"Yes," Logan confirmed my fears. He leaned back into his chair and stared pointedly at me, as if to say that I was asking obvious questions. Still dazed at this turn of events, I stared down at the letter in my hand and scanned through it just to be sure. But it was right there. The word 'termination' stared right back at me, kick-starting my fears once again. Why couldn't I catch a break for just one second? Why did life keep throwing these difficulties my way? Have I not been through enough already?! My fear slowly mixed with anger and I glared at Logan who was watching me with a self satisfied smile. I held myself back from yelling because that was all I wanted to do; shout, scream at him, and demand an explanation for this behavior. It was obvious he was doing this to get back at me, and I wanted so badly to put him in his place. Relax, Amanda, I told myself, forcing my fists to unclench. If I acted up now, Logan would only use it to his advantage as another valid
