My choice Chapter 1 A rough day

It was sharp seven on the dot when breakfast was served, Kimberly was still in bed as she had passed the day clubbing forgetting the following day was her first day in college, Mr. Jerk was on his way to the dining table he was already dressed for work, behind him was his arrogant wife she was equally dressed for work. They both sat down and started taking breakfast, Mr. Jerk ordered the maid to go get Kimberly, on her arrival, Kim's room was looked, she tried knocking on the door, but Kim sent her away, she came back to the table and informed Mr. Jerk, Mrs.

Kris told her husband not to worry that she was gonna go talk to her personally. After breakfast, Mr. Jerk left for the shoe factory, Mrs. Kris was still in the house getting ready to go meet Kimberly in her room. She gently climbed the stairs towards Kim's room, on her arrival she knocked her door room as it was closed. "Who's that?" Kimberly asked while shouting. "It's your mum," Mrs. Kris replied while waiting on her to open the door. Kimberly quickly stepped out of bed and rushed to open the door, her mum came in and sat next to her bed, she told her daughter to have a sit, she was about to have a conversation with her, Kimberly sat down and was waiting on her mum, Mrs. Kris cleared her throat and began, "Do you know your dad is angry with you?" Mrs. Kris asked while folding her arms around her waist. Kimberly was wondering why her dad was angry with her, she asked why her dad was angry with her and her mum said because of the kind of lifestyle she was engaging herself into. Her dad Mr. Jerk was brought up responsibly and as such did not tolerate Kim's attitude, each time he tried talking to her about it, her mum always tried convincing him she was gonna talk to her. Her mum advised her to be a good girl, the clock was ticking and time was passing, Kimberly got to the bathroom, took her bad and was preparing herself for school, it was her first day in college. Her mum left her and was now about to go join her husband at the shoe factory when she arrived the security guards accompanied her to the office, it was like a tradition, every morning when her car drove into the factory, there was always one guard who held her bag right to her office, Mrs. Kris West was a very arrogant lady, she never responded each time the poor greeted her. They faced this problem every time she was coming but had no choice, they had to continue greeting her for she was the boss's wife. Kimberly was already dressed for school, she wore a simple blue gown, a black pair of covered shoes, and a white school bag, her driver was down waiting for her to get done, it took her some seconds to get down, and the driver drove her to school, when she entered the school premises, she could see other beautiful cars just as the one they carried her into. There was a guard standing by each class, welcoming you and taking you to your sit, he did same for Kimberly as she was the last student to enter the class, the other students were already well seated, where Malyse was seated there was still space the guard asked her if she was comfortable sitting behind and she answered yes. She then sat beside Malyse, greeted her, and stayed quiet, she was so surprised to meet Jennifer and Shay in the same classroom as her. Jennifer already knew the kind of girl Kim was so pretended not to know her and remained comfortable in her seat. The teacher entered the class, introduced himself and asked the students to introduce themselves, they all introduced themselves and in Kim's turn she added she was the daughter of the one who owns "West Shoes", this was how her father's company was called, the teacher then told her he asked only for her name and not her status and she replied saying that was how she always introduced herself when someone asked anything concerning her, from the way she was expressing herself, the teacher already knew she was a troublesome girl and to avoid conflicts between himself and her family, he stayed quiet, gave his lectures and went out of class. During break, Malyse requested they go get something to eat, she followed Malyse and while going out someone called her and when she turned to check who the person was, she discovered it was Jennifer. She ignored her call and continued walking with Malyse, they arrived at the canteen, they gave their command and were waiting to be served. After eating they returned to class and we're discussing since they were having a free period at that time, "So tell me more about you," Kimberly asked. Malyse told Kim that her parents were the owners of a mining company abroad and she was equally their only daughter sent to Montreal for studies. Kim was happy knowing Malyse was from a respectable family, she had found someone with who she was going to be friends, Kimberly was from a rich family and only wanted to be around rich people. In the shoe factory, Jennifer's mum wasn't feeling fine it was only at 10 am that she called one of the staff to inform them that she would not be able to come to work because of her health issues, worst of it was that she had not cleaned Mrs. Kris office and she knew how problematic she was. Jennifer's mum had a lot of work the previous day so she taught she was going to be early enough to clean Mrs. Kris office, little did she know that the next morning she would not be able to come to work, she tried calling her colleague who equally is a cleaning agent like her but her phone wasn't passing through, she knew she was going to be in trouble but all she did was pray for God to soften her heart.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

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."
