Chapter 1
"You are so sweet, baby… Never had such a good sex in a while…"Standing in front of one of the doors along the hotel hallway, twenty-seven-year-old Miles Greyson took a deep breath and swallowed nothing, contemplating on whether to knock on the door or let them have fun, hearing the hard moans and groans coming from inside the room.'Hello, Mr. Miles. I left a bag in the backseat of your car. Can you bring it over to room 1402 at the hotel you dropped me earlier?”He was on his way to school after his part-time job as an Uber driver when he got the call from his last client, the man he had dropped off in front of a hotel. Although he was almost late for class, he had to drive back to deliver the bag to him.
Miles curled his fingers into a ball, and just when he wanted to place a knock on the door, he couldn't help but notice the familiarity in the voice coming from the room, but there was no way it could be what he was thinking. It couldn't be his girlfriend's voice… He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat, finally placing a knock on the door, and waited patiently for anyone to come get the door.Seconds slowly ticked into minutes, and it felt like he was going to stand there forever, when the door finally opened."You asked me to..." His voice trailed off when he saw the young lady standing in front of him, his jaw dropped and he took a step back."Je...ssica?" Miles's voice broke as he blinked his eyes to be sure they weren't deceiving him, but when he opened them, he still saw his girlfriend standing in front of him with her hair disheveled, along with her clothes."Wh... what are you doing here?" He wasn't supposed to be asking because it was already obvious, but he still asked, anyway. Jessica stared back at him with a shocked expression on her face which only lasted for about five seconds before it disappeared, replaced with fury."Why are you stalking me, Miles?" Jessica's voice was filled with rage as she glared back at him like she was going to pounce on him, and he raised his eyebrows, shocked."What the hell are you doing here? You told me we won't be able to see each other today because you had class. How come you are here?" Miles yelled at the top of his voice. His heart came breaking into shreds of pieces.Everything felt like a dream. How his girlfriend who has claimed to love him for the past three years cheated on him, how she didn't feel remorseful about. He didn't know which hurt more."I told you I had class, must you stalk me?"Miles couldn't believe his ears as she sneered at him again with no ounce of remorse in her. It almost felt like what she did was right when he never did anything to deserve this."You just happened not to know. This is the class she was probably talking about. Right, baby?" Miles scoffed as he watched the bastard he had taken to the hotel earlier, stand behind Jessica, and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her hair romantically.Miles felt his heart wrenched, waves of jealousy spurred through him, and the urge to send a punch across his face wouldn't stop hitting at him, but he tried to hold back his anger. Even though it hurt, there was no way in hell he was going to fight over a woman, let alone the one that didn't find him worthy of her love and had decided to cheat."Baby... You told me your boyfriend was a part-time Uber driver. I thought it would be nice to help him with patronage..." The man pouted his lips as he turned Jessica to face him, pecking her on the lips."Did I do something wrong? All I wanted was to help so he could raise another money for his tuition fee. You said he gave up his own, right?" Slowly, Miles clenched his fingers into a tight fist, throwing them a disgusting and spiteful glare."How could you do this to me? I gave you everything... Even though I didn't have much, I was working hard to give you the best life...""Best life, you said? Is this the best you could do? I asked you for three thousand dollars for a trip with my friends and you couldn't even provide it..." Jessica scoffed, then crossed her arms on her chest and straightened her back."What were you expecting? Stick around and live a pathetic life as you? Were you expecting me to become a loser like yourself?" The corner of her lips tucked up into a smirk as she leaned forward and stared at him, her eyes piercing into his daringly."Jessica...""My friends are dating rich guys. Going out in the latest cars... Their boyfriends are getting them gifts, but what do you have to offer?" She paused, then took a step closer to him and leaned forward, their faces just inches apart."A pathetic Uber driver that struggles to eat. Is that what you want me to keep up with? Never, Miles. I'm too expensive for that," she stated bluntly, then straightened her back and flipped her hair behind her ear."Loser,how does it feel to bring a man to fuck your girlfriend? " The man uttered in mockery as he stepped out of the room and stood in front of Miles."I arranged this fantastic show for you specially. A big surprise,isn't it?" He blinked, grinning provokingly.Chapter 2"Let go! You don't know who I am. I'm going to make your life miserable!" The man struggled to breath and still threatened Miles even though he was getting choked, but Miles didn't listen to him. He was ready to kill him."Just give up, Miles! Whatever you do can't make me get back to you. You don't deserve me! " Hearing Jessica's voice, Miles grip of the man's neck slowly loosened, and when he finally let go of his neck, he took a step back and clenched his fingers into a tight fist, enraged."I don't deserve you? Jessica,you are the most disgusting person I've ever met, and I regret ever crossing path with you," His eyes piercing into Jessica's, he uttered those words with pure disgust written on his face,"You are nothing but a disgusting shameless whore…" "You are going to regret this... I'm going to make you two pay for this, and that's a promise." Miles uttered, picking his words one after the other."If you have enough money, you should work on getting your life upgra
Chapter 3Confused about where the message came from, his phone started to ring with a strange number displayed on the screen, and he quickly swiped the answer button."Hello, this is..." "Am I speaking with Mr. Miles Greyson?" A deep baritone masculine voice sounded from the other end, and he raised his eyebrows in shock. "Yes, this is Miles," It took him a few seconds before he could reply to whoever the person was. "Congratulations, Mr. Miles Greyson. You have inherited a fortune from a distant relative of yours. Let's meet at the Ace group of company by 9am on the dot tomorrow. I will be expecting you," The voice spoke, and Miles was left stunned. "Huh?" He blinked his eyes rapidly. How could a stranger he barely knew call him on the phone and ask them to meet? What if this was a trap? What if he ended up getting hurt? Could this be a ploy to harm him? What if it was Jessica behind the curtain and doing this? He asked himself. "Ask for Mr. Ace Smith when you come," Those were
Chapter 4"You're here?" The manager uttered surprisingly, his eyebrows knotted together."I wasn't expecting you to show up so early," he further said with a warm smile lingering on his face, and Daisy was forced to look at Miles again, shocked that her boss was being like that to someone they all looked down on a few moments ago. Who is he? She asked herself, confused."Yeah... It just...happens," Miles stuttered, not sure of what to say. Although they talked on the phone earlier, it was his first time meeting Mr. Ace in person. He had only seen this business tycoon in magazines, and it was still hard to believe that they were standing in person and he was smiling at him. "You are welcome, Mr. Miles. It's nice to meet you," Miles's jaw dropped when the man bowed and greeted him respectfully. He pinched the skin under his trousers to be sure this wasn't a dream, but he soon confirmed that it was not. This man who was confirmed to be amongst the ten top richest business tycoons in A
Chapter 5"An arranged marriage?" Miles muttered, stunned. This was the least of the things he had expected. Becoming a billionaire overnight and getting into an arranged marriage. It was shocking."The young lady's grandfather had done a favor for Mr. James in the past and because of that, Mr. James had promised him that his son would marry the man's granddaughter in the future..." He paused and observed Miles's expressionless face before he continued."Since Mr. James didn't have a son, he had written in his will that his heir would fulfill the marriage," he explained to Miles."The marriage is just going to be valid for a year and if after you both find that you are not compatible, then you can file for a divorce then. You will still get the inheritance even after the divorce," Miles swallowed the lump that formed in his throat as he stared at Mr. Ace explained everything to him. No matter the angle which Miles tried to look at this from, he couldn't help but think that this was a
Chapter 6"Wh...what!" The receptionist stuttered confusingly and blinked her eyes a few times to be sure she wasn't dreaming."You are fired!" Mr. Ace further said, and the receptionist gasped sharply."Wh... what... Sir, please you can't do that... Please I'm really sorry. I was just doing my job. I had no idea who he was... Please have mercy on me," the receptionist went on her knees and pleaded with Mr. Ace."I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, Sir. I will make sure to discipline them. I'm really sorry," Mr. Ace apologized to Miles."Thank you," And with that, Miles advanced toward the exit door and exited the company.A smile laced up his lips as soon as he stepped out of the company. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a few dollars he had on him before he got here earlier."I'm fucking rich!" He mumbled excitedly then hauled down a cab and hopped inside."Diamond bank," He said to the cabby, and the ride began...The cab pulled over in front of the tall buildin
Chapter 7 "How much is the money?" Miles asked for the second time."A hundred thousand dollars. Do you have that much money to pay for her?" The man mocked Miles again, but he opened his bag and took out a parcel of money from it."Here is your money," They were stunned when he threw the money at the man. "Let's go," The man left with the other men, leaving Miles and Ashley who was already on her feet."Thanks for that. You didn't have to do that," Ashley said as she dusted the invisible specks of dust on her body, but Miles just stared back at her wordlessly."You weren't expecting me to have left you here like that, right?" He rolled his eyes and sighed. "You should be careful not to get into trouble. Those are bad guys and they could harm you if no one had come to your rescue. You should be mindful of who you loan money from," Miles advised her."I'm not owing them money, Miles. I've already paid the money before. The boss of the group is a gangster and he had been disturbing me
Chapter 8"Are you jealous, Jess?" Ashley was pissed, so she stepped forward and smirked at Jess."Don't be so full of yourself. There is nothing to be jealous about," Jess rolled her eyes, but deep inside her, she was fuming. How could he have found someone so early just barely forty-eight hours that they broke up?"You should mind your business then," Ashley said to her, then turned to Miles."Miles, let's go sit over there," She pointed toward the set of tables and chairs just behind Leo, and he nodded. They both walked over to the chair and sat on it."Your order is here," The waiter walked up to them and placed the food they had ordered earlier, along with Miles's bottled water since it was the only thing he ordered. He didn't just feel like eating anything tonight. At least not now."It's pathetic how he can't even afford a plate of food," Leo mocked Miles."I'm glad you left him, Jess. I couldn't afford to be with such a pathetic broke loser," Jess's friend added, and Jess snick
Chapter 9"I'm afraid I would have to involve the manager in this," The waiter threatened Miles."Yes, you should," Miles agreed, and they all glanced at each other.After the waiter left, Ashley looked around and found Leo and other classmates staring at them, so she sighed. Maybe it was a bad idea coming out here in the first place.Barely ten minutes after the waiter left, the manager of the restaurant, a man in his late forties, came walking into the restaurant with two hefty men walking behind him. They seemed to be his bodyguard."There you are, Mr. Collins," Leo uttered proudly as he stood up and smiled at the manager as he extended his hand for a handshake."It has been a while, Leo. How have you been?" The manager greeted Leo politely like they've been friends for a long time now."I've been good. I was still going to come to see you when we were done here. Is there a problem? You don't usually come here," Leo asked even though he knew that the manager was there because of Mil
