Chapter 1 One

Jesse enters the house, and the it was quiet and calm, he looks around the sitting room and sighs.

"Is dad not back yet, why is it so quiet in here, Dad!". Jesse said as he went inside the room, but his dad wasn't there".

"He is not here, where did he go". Jesse muttered and walks towards the kitchen.

"Dad". He calls, as he opens the door of the kitchen, and sees his dad Cooking.

"What are you doing dad". He asked.

And Edward turns to face him.

"Oh Jesse, your back". He said with a smile.

Jesse's eyes scan the food items on the table and then to his Dad.

"Dad, what are you doing, why is there so much to cook".

Edward looks at the food items and smile.

"I was going to surprise you Jesse, but it seems you already caught me in the act".

"Why do you want to surprise me Dad".

"Have you forgotten, why do you always forget about it Jesse".

Jesse rolls his eyes and asked.

"What are you talking about dad, what did I forget".

"Your birthday Jesse".

And Jesse opens his mouth in shock, he didn't even remember today was his birthday.

"That right Dad, today is indeed my birthday, I forgot about it again".

"Well, is no longer a surprise, you Came back home on Time, than I expected.

Jesse smiles and said.

"I will take it back".

"Take what back".

Jesse smile again and walks up to him.

"I will pretend I never saw any of this, I will go and take a shower, then you can show me your surprise later".

"Really".

"Yes Dad, I Never saw this, so continue with what you are doing, I will be waiting for my surprise". Jesse said with a smile and quickly leaves.

"That little Rascal, I always cerebrate his birthday every year, how could he still forget about his birthday". Edward muttered with a smile and continues cooking.

Edward arrange the food on the table, alongside with a cake, drinks, and desert too, he smiles after seeing the things on the table.

"Is all set, Jesse, Jesse, come out, am done cooking".

Jesse enters the dinning room, and when he sees the things on the table, his jaw dropped in shock.

"Dad, you made all of these". He said looking shock.

"You don't have to pretend to be surprised Jesse".

"No Dad, am really caught by surprise, I didn't expect so much on the table, where did you get the money for all of this Dad".

"I got paid at my work place Jesse, so I thought of preparing all of this, even if is just the two of us".

"But dad, isn't it too much".

"Of course not Jesse, is my only son's birthday today, you deserve it, come on let eat together".

Jesse smiles and sits with his dad.

"Make a wish Jesse". Edward said presenting the cake to him.

Jesse smiles, he closed his eyes, he made a wish, and blew off the candles.

"Happy 13th birthday Jesse". Edward said clapping his hand and smiling.

"Thanks Dad".

"So what did you wish for".

"Wishes are supposed to be kept secret right".

"Come on Jesse, tell me what you wish for, who knows I might be able to Grant that wish for you".

"Really you will".

"Well my wish is for you to always stay with me forever, I always want someone to always remind me about my birthday...you are the only family I have ever since mom died, I can't live without you Dad, will you be able to Grant me my wish, will you stay with me forever, and never leave my side".

FLORENCE HIGH SCHOOL.

Jesse sits with his friends in the classroom, T-chatting with them, since the homeroom teacher went on a leave.

"You're so lucky Jesse, at least you have a dad who still reminds you about your birthday, as for my dad, he doesn't care if I exist or not, all he cares about is drinking and getting drunk". Dre said.

"My dad is the best Dad in the whole world, and that why he is so important to me". Jesse said smiling.

"But he is not the only one important to you right". Sam asked smiling.

"Huh, what are you talking about, my Dad is the only important person in my life, no one else".

"Really".

"Of course Dre, who else is important to me apart from my Dad huh!". He half yells.

And Anna Walks in with her two friends, T-chatting and laughing, and Jesse looks at her glups down nothing, admiring her beautiful she looks.

Her eyes were the prettiest eyes he has ever seen, her face was round and small, her smiles were one in a million, no wonder she was the beautiful queen of Florence High, Jesse thought within himself, as he continues looking at Anna, and he could feel his heart beating like a drumming drum.

Dre waves his hand near Jesse's eyes, but he didn't blink, his whole eyes and brains were fitted on Anna, who was still T-chatting and laughing with her friends.

How could she be so beautiful, is she an angel from heaven, that might have probably come to Earth to live among humans.

Sam pinch him and he quickly came back to the land of the living.

"What was that for Sam". Jesse asked.

"Looks like you finally came back to life, it seems you were dead a while ago, I knew it, your Dad isn't the only important person in your life". Dre said laughing.

"My Dad is the only one important to me, do I need to say it a hundred and one times, before it get stuck in your ears."

"Then what about Anna". Dre asked pointing at Anna who was so forcus talking to her friends.

"Huh". Jesse muttered.

"I know you have a crush on Anna Jesse, you are always staring at her, but you both are world aparts, she is rich, and you are poor, we only attend this school because of a scholarship,,I guess that why you can't tell her, you have a crush on her". Dre said.

"I don't have a crush on Anna Dre, I might be poor, but Anna is not my type of girl,why will I have a crush on her, she so full of herself because her dad is Rich".

"Whatever then,but I know you still have a crush on Anna". Sam said with a giggle, and leaves the class with Dre, who was also laughing too.

"You both are so annoying". Jesse said to them as they left the class.

He turns his gaze at Anna, and she was still T-chatting and laughing with her friends, flirting with her hair.

"She is so beautiful". Jesse muttered with a smile, but the moment Anna looks at him, he quickly looked away, pretending he was so forcus in his book.

"Why is he always so shy to look at me". Anna muttered.

She looks at him again and chuckles with a smiles.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
