I stood at the entrance of the club, everything in me screaming to get out of there and go back home. Veronica was the party type, not me, she usually dragged me to her parties whenever she went for one but they usually didn't interest me.Now here I am, at my first party without her.I had gotten a room in the hotel just in case anything happened and home was too far for me to go. “Are you gonna go in or not?" The bouncer asked, obviously tired of me standing there and not doing anything. I turned to look at him to see him staring at me with an eye eyebrowed and interest clearly in his eyes. He looked Italian and was very attractive. Taking one deep breath, I give him an apologetic smile before walking in.I just need to unwind and I'd be fine.Heading straight to the bar, I sit on a stool and look around, unsure of what to do.“You look lonely." I hear a voice say from beside me and I turn, meeting a pair of boring brown eyes. His hair was also a boring shade of brown and his lo

Everything was awkward for me when his eyes met mine and then went to my intern tag hanging from my shoulders. I was really happy when he didn't say anything about the way I behaved in the elevator and I didn't lose my internship. After briefing us about everything, we were told the ropes of what we do. Which is obviously to design clothes and bring designs to life.The rest of the day had gone back quickly and soon, I was out of the building rushing home. I felt eyes on me when I left the building and I turned around, meeting the stares of the president from an office on the top floor.Smiling, I wave my hands at him then turn around grimacing.I just hope I keep this job. The rest of the month flew by hectically and I've been avoiding my boss as much as I could.“What do you mean you can't come in today?" I asked my children's nanny in surprise. She wasn't here on time like she usually was and had called me to let me know that she wouldn't be coming in today.After she apologize

Hearing my words, Mr Wong gives me a cold smile, a smile I'm beginning to hate so much." Glad we have agreed. You'd be coming with me to meet my family soon. Do not make mention of this contract to them. Or anyone for that matter. To the whole world, we met on Jeju Island sometime three years ago, and we hit off and had sex. You left without giving me your contact info and we didn't see each other for three years. Till I ran into you a couple of months ago here in LA and we started seeing each other again then got married cause we can't live without the other. That's easy to understand, isn't it?” He asked like he was daring me to say I didn't.But how was I supposed to understand all that when he was speaking so fast?He's looking for reasons to not like me, that much is obvious.How do I explain to my parents that I came here single and now I'm suddenly married to a freaking billionaire?“If you would please speak slowly, then it would be appreciated,” I say, faking a smile. And i

“Look how pretty she is. Oh, Richard, you should keep this one.” She says with her arms still around me and I turn to Richard for help, he looks at my arms that are still lying limply by my sides and gives me a cold glare.Instantly, I take my arms around her and hug her back. This seems to make her pleased because she hums.“What about my grandchildren? Where are they?" She asks after breaking our hug, going into the car to look inside.“Well?" She looks at me, and then her eyes move to Richard, waiting for our answers.She seemed so excited to meet them and for some reason, I felt happy. At least I know they would get accepted into this family and wouldn't get bullied by anyone.“They stayed with the nanny. I wanted Gabby to meet you without the children so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed by everything. You'd meet them soon" Richard says, holding my waist and I wondered if that was truly the reason he didn't bring them or if he was just telling his mom that just because.“Don't worry,

I open my eyes when I feel myself being lifted, holding onto Richard's jacket.“What are you doing?" I asked groggily.He was walking toward his mansion with me in his arms, I was expecting him to wake me up when we got to his place.“You are sleepy, sleep." He orders, still not keeping me down.“What about the kids? I need to check on them to know if they are alright. What if they need me?” I ask him, hoping that would be enough reason for him to let me down. But he doesn't."I can walk,” I say, staring up at him. It was dark already, but the lights were on around the house.“You have to go to work tomorrow. Sleep. You'd need the energy to make up for all you missed today.” He says and I groaned causing him to chuckle.I forgot about that. He pushed open a room door and carried me to the bed, gently placing me on it.“Thank you for today." He says then walks away, not giving me the chance to say anything else.What was he thanking me for? It's part of the contract for me to act as hi
