Chapter 1 A Crazy Idea.

Diana and Mitchell had been best friends since high school and had basically gone through the worst and best in life by each other's side. Now at the age of 23 since they were both age mates, they were at that stage in life where they wanted to get their lives in order. Both were single and had gone through the system of education graduating with first class honors in university. Diana had a degree in marketing while Mitchell had one in catering and hotel management.

Diana worked at one of the companies in town as their marketing strategist and Mitchell worked as a hotel manager in town, both jobs had good pay and they rented an apartment together so that they could split the expenses and be able to save up the extra money for future endeavors. As they sat in the living room of their two bedroom apartment that they rented, they watched TV while surfing social media sites just to catch up with the modern world

"Look at this" Mitchell said to Diana as she showed her an update from one of the gossip groups.

"What are-- it says tech billionaire brings his company into town as he wants to invest and create more job opportunities in our town " Diana said as she read the post." Hmm, I didn't know that we are going to have a billionaire in town "

" Are you thinking what I'm thinking? " Mitchell teased

" What now? " Diana asked. She knew that Mitchell had some of the craziest ideas and was ready to hear what she had to say now

"I say, we try to get this billionaire to date one of us. I mean he could be the solution that we have been looking for. Can you imagine having a billionaire boyfriend?" Mitchell asked

" I knew you were going to say something like that. First of all, nowhere in that post does it mention the billionaire neither does it show his picture. And isn't Global Tech one of the few companies whose owner is not known to the public? " Diana asked for clarification as she tried to reason with Mitchell," Besides, what if he's a seventy year old man? "

" Old guy I can work with, as long as he pays my bills and spoils me like the gem I am. And who says we can't dig up and know the identity of the billionaire? Can't be that hard, we can use our feminine side to get what we want"

" Oh my God. You are definitely giving me gold digger vibes right now. Okay, I can work with that. So you want to tell me, you think there aren't other girls out there who have had the same thought? " Diana asked

" Ok, don't you dare judge me. I'm young and I need money " Mitchell said with a bougie voice," and the difference between us and those other girls is that we are going to actually act on our plan instead of just thinking it through. So are you with me or not? " She asked Diana

" I don't know Mitch" Diana answered unsure of what to think of the idea

"Come on, what if he's a young rich billionaire who happens to be single?" Mitchell asked

" Why is it that people always think that billionaires don't have girlfriends or wives? " Diana asked

" Uuhm haven't you read every other book that has a billionaire? Most of them don't want to get attached to someone or they just have a cold heart " Mitchell answered

" And what if this rich billionaire has a cold heart? " Diana asked

" Well every cold heart just needs some warmth and eventually it'll melt" Mitchell asked

" You sound so sure. Maybe his heart is just too cold to melt" Diana said as she tried to discourage her best friend a little bit

"Stop being a negative Nancy and at least give some back up on this. If you don't and I become successful, don't come looking for me when you want some money" Mitchell teased

They sat together and surfed through the updates trying to get some more information about the billionaire despite Diana trying to avoid the whole topic but to no avail. Mitchell made sure that Diana helped her with stalking every activity of Global Tech to see any loopholes that would suggest who the billionaire is. According to all that they could find was that the company mainly invested in activities that involved people who were considered as the young generation from the ages of somewhere 18 to late 30s,therefore, they concluded that the billionaire was possibly around this age bracket. This excited Mitchell even more as she saw that the had an actual opportunity to find the man who was still young and would not be considered as too old for her. Diana just helped her best friend since she knew the chances of her actually getting the billionaire were slim to none. Upon further poking around, they found out that Global Tech was seeking to hire new people for their new building in town.

"Yes, finally! An opportunity" Mitchell said as she waved her phone in front of Diana's face. When Diana read the story carefully and started laughing

"I think you should read that story more carefully" Diana said with a smirk. When she read the post carefully, her joy suddenly turned into disappointment when she realized that the only job openings were in the marketing department. After a short tantrum, Mitchell had an idea and Diana could see it on her face

"What's that look for?" Diana asked

"I just had the craziest idea" she answered

" Oh no, if it's what I'm thinking, I'm not going to do it. There's no way I'm going to be your inside woman in that company. I already have a job" Diana said the moment she knew what Mitchell had in mind

"I'm sure it doesn't pay as much as this would pay" Mitchell reasoned

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."

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.
