All Chapters of Inconvenient Love (A Billionaire Romance): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1-Illegitimate ChildI hurriedly walked down the hallway to reach my father’s office when I heard from my department’s manager that my stepsister, Paula, was presenting a proposal to the supervisors. I knew that it was mine. When I came in today and sat in my cubicle, opening my computer, I noticed that my presentation was gone from my desktop. It was deleted. I checked my other folders and the recycle bin, but it was gone. There was no trace of it. I looked over at Janine in the other cubicle and asked if she had seen anyone coming to my desk.“Paula said she had to retrieve a file your father asked her to bring,” Janine replied, and I was not surprised. Paula reasoned that it was not true. She bypassed my system. This was not the first time that Paula was able to trespass on my computer’s security and steal a file from me. I was preparing that proposal to present to the supervisors after getting approval from the manager. But it seems like she had known about this before. I

Chapter 3-She Is All YoursI looked over my phone to check the map. I am not sure if I got off at the right stop, but the map says here that the Vermont Corporation building is a few blocks away. And I was already late, given that my father already texted me, looking for me in the building’s lobby. But it was not like I could have asked the bus driver to speed up. Checking the map once again, I figured that it was only three blocks away. The good thing was that I was not wearing a very high heeled shoe, just a pair of decent two inches heels. I started to walk then and constantly checked my phone to make sure that I was going the right way. In bold and cursive display, the words “Vermont Co.” graced the front of the building. I exhaled my exhaustion and waited for the pedestrian sign to turn green and the cars to stop. Several passersby stood beside me as they too waited to cross. This is my first time coming here to Vermont Co., and the only thing that I know about them is that they

Chapter 5-Certificate of MarriageDespite knowing that I could unlock the door beside me, I am not crazy enough to jump out of the fast moving vehicle and meet my death on a highway. “Where are you taking me?” I asked Tanner and he glanced at me by the mirror.“You will wait for him in his condominium unit,” he answered, not giving any more detail as to why in there, in his private residence.But still, I asked, hoping he would talk more, “Why?” “I do not know. Perhaps he needs you to clean the unit? And your things were already sent there. By the way –” he opened the glove box and reached something out.“Here is a spare key card to his condo unit. You are to use this once, only for today, then wait for him to arrive to give you the passcode.” he handed me a small black envelope and I fished out the key card from it, seeing a “Vco Condominiums” label, intricately engraved at the card along with the very well known logo of the Vermont Corporations.“They also own a condominium buildi

Chapter 7: Escapee In The StreetsIt was already past noon when I could feel the boredom creep in while I was reading a book in his mini library. Although the books were entertaining, I wanted to go out. The view of the city under the gray clouds before me was entertaining but I feel like I am wasting my time here. I should be working, and preparing for my future.Yes, a future that I own. I am still looking forward to it.I lay down on the couch and stared at the ceiling thinking of what had happened since yesterday. I am currently trapped in here. No work, no job, not enough savings in the bank, and well, married. Now what?Married…I felt the blood rush in my cheeks as that one night of the past year entered my head. A vivid flashback of the day I left him sleeping, and a blurry memory of that night. Do we have to do that?“Well, I hope not.” ‘Are you sure?’ I groaned at the inner voice in my head and shut it off.Does my father know? Well if he did, he would be bothering me now

Chapter 9: We Are Legally Married, You Are My WifeHis face was too close that I could feel his breathing, his deep amber eyes were as mesmerizing as the day I first saw them clearly, in his office. I totally understand why I went with him that night and risked it. And I am not sure whether I should be grateful or not that he does not remember me, that he does not know me. That I had spent a night with him before. Well, he probably often beds women he meets at bars for a night. I was no different from them. I was just a thing for a night, then that is it. “You think you can run away from me, huh? How cute,” he smirked and then turned around, gulping another of his liquor. I frowned at his mocking, and walked to my room, badly desperate to shower and change into cleaner clothing.
