The billionaire's intern: Hearts in high places
“This is a story about Alexandro Castillo and Kylie Smith. Alexandro is a cold and ruthless billionaire CEO. He's dominant,bold and calculative,he doesn't believe in love. Kylie is a struggling intern at med school who was mourning the death of her mother and brother and barely surviving with her sick father. She would do anything to get revenge on the people that caused the accident that killed her family . She is emotional, gentle but fiery. She loves to be independent but is burdened by financial debt. Things begin when Alexandro offers Kylie a marriage contract:to be his fake wife for one year so he inherits the will and everybody goes their separate ways. Kylie reluctantly accepted but she gave her own conditions:no sex.no intimacy. She lives the life of a billionaire's wife and pretends to be his wife. Alexandro becomes drawn to her gentle nature. She begins to influence him in his views on love and relationships. Things change when Kylie finds out that Alexandro was the person that caused the accident which killed her family. She felt betrayed and played. She decided not to seek revenge on him but she also won't forgive him....ever. After many months of pleading, Kylie decided to come back to the house and ultimately changed her mind when Alexandro declared that he was building a hospital in memory of her mother and brother. She sees the remorse and patience in him and finally forgave him. The story ends with Alexandro and Kylie laying on the bed when Alexandro asked "what would I be without you, honey"? And she replied "A man who finally found love".”
