HIRED AS A BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE
Jobless, homeless, and burdened by family debt, Anastasia is at rock bottom. Then, a chance encounter with a ruthless billionaire, Caleb Carter, leads to an unbelievable offer: become his temporary wife. It's a deal that could save her family, but can she navigate a world of opulence, secrets, and a marriage of convenience without losing herself?The blare of my alarm clock cut through the quiet of my tiny apartment, yanking me from a restless sleep. Sunlight, unforgivingly bright, stabbed at my eyes through the thin curtains. I rubbed the sleep away, my gaze landing on the digital display: 8:05 AM.
“Oh, shit!”
Panic seized me. I was going to be late. Again.
I sprang from bed, a blur of motion, and dashed for the shower. Cold water shocked me awake, but there was no time to savor it. I threw on the first clean clothes I found: a plain white t-shirt, faded denim jeans, and my trusty black Converse.
A quick brush of powder, a swipe of lip tint, and my hair wrestled into a neat bun on top of my head. I grabbed my bag and practically flew out the door, the familiar scent of stale coffee and exhaust fumes greeting me as I hit the bustling Miami sidewalk. The Latte Cafe, my sanctuary and my paycheck, awaited. And I was already running behind.
