MY BILLIONAIRE BABY DADDY

Although Charisa was fortunate as a child, she didn't think of herself as such. She never had to worry about anything because her family was well off. Although she now suspects that her mother became aware of her father's plot and fled, she never even asked why she had left him five years prior.

Now that she had insisted on staying with him, Charisa felt guilty. She needed a sympathetic ear to weep on right now because she had alienated her mother.

Everyone had left her behind. She ended her relationship with her two-year lover. She was abandoned by her friends. Charisa felt miserable and alone. Charisa pondered what would happen once she somehow passed her finals at the end of the spring semester.

Could she possibly return to school? Would she have a home at all? The house she had grown up in was sealed up and locked. This summer, it and everything within were to be put up for sale.

Sitting on her dorm room bed, Charisa gazed out the window. Sylvia, her roommate, had already departed. Since the announcement of her father's death, Sylvia had scarcely spoken to her. Charisa believed Sylvia had the finest excuse of any of her friends. Her father had probably lost a lot of money because he had been an investment in the Edwards Fund.

Charisa could not believe how bright the day was outside. A deep moan escaped her lips. She had refrained from phoning her mom. Although she was certain that her mother would not reject her, she was unsure about how to approach her. She was now in California, on the other side of the nation.

Charisa had picked up her life, but she didn't think she'd have the money to buy a plane ticket at the last minute.

From Charisa's doorway, a gentle voice remarked, "You're still here."

Charisa looked around and saw Chloe, her sorority sister, standing there. She had a package under one arm and a luggage in the other.

"Yes," Charisa remarked, "I'm not in a rush to get anywhere." After placing her belongings at the doorway, Chloe proceeded to Sylvia's former bed. She took a seat, measured Charisa, and gazed at her.

Charisa did not know how to interpret that. She was never close to Chloe. Despite being a sweet girl and a year older than her, Chloe and she didn't share much in common.

Finally, Chloe remarked, "The past few weeks have been difficult for you." "Are you aware of your destination?"

Charisa gave a shoulder shrug. "I'll probably give my mom a call and ask if I can go with her to California." Chloe scowled. "If you can, that's a long way to go."

Even though she did not fully comprehend the scenario, Charisa valued Chloe's ability to grasp it immediately. But that didn't help, and Charisa sighed deeply once more before turning to face the window once more.

You know, I might have an answer for you, Chloe said.

Charisa faced Chloe once more. All she needed was a solution. "What is that?"

My father owns an upstate resort. It pays pretty well, and he constantly needs extra help over the summer. Even though you're staying in the servants' quarters, you still get to stay at the resort for free. As long as you don't mind spending the summer in a room roughly the size of this dorm room, it's not too bad.
