My CEO Mate

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Kim's Pov

The alarm rang loudly and I snooze it almost immediately.

Why does it have to wake me up now?

I'm still feeling sleepy.

I grumbled before walking to the bathroom to have my bath.

After taking my bath, I mop my body with my small white towel before walking to my big old bag to select the clothe I will wear to work.

A little introduction of myself .

My name is Kim Park, A Korean, I came from a family of five.

My mom, My granny from the paternal side, Jeremy, Sophia and Lina.

My Dad died ten years ago,we are in the middle class, neither rich nor poor and we are living okay.

I graduated from college last year but I was unable to find a job so I engage myself into some menial jobs to keep body and soul together.

I'm a girl who is attractive to men at an early age of life, I'm beautiful, heavily endowed with my cute and hair lashes which flutter at intervals including my long hair almost reaching my knees.

My heavily features always made me uncomfortable around men and thus made me an introvert.

Enough of the introduction.

I slip my feet into the sandals and pick my small bag before walking out of the room.

I walk to the dinning and they were there already (my family), I greeted them one after the other before settling down to eat.

During the course of eating, Jeremy spake up.

"Auntie I forgot to tell you yesterday night about the contributions we are to make in school "He said lowly and I press my lips.

"Really "I mumbled before grabbing a glass of water and sip in a reasonable amount.

"Yes, the party we usually organises between ourselves after the end of every year is around the corner so we are to contribute some money "He explained and I nodded.

"How much?? "I asked.

"5000 bucks" He mumbled lowly and my heart sank.

I'm not having much at hand.

"Uhm...... Jeremy, I will see what I can do about it before tomorrow night " I promise and he smiled.
