I always thought I had made a very big mistake the day I said "YES" but I guess I was wrong. My life changed for the better and that heart needed just a little love and affection.

Chapter 1 Life is such a bitch

She was so impatient and worried.

Jane Miller sat on the couch thinking of how she can find solutions to pay for her mum's hospital bills.

A week ago,she found out that her mum was suffering from bone marrow cancer. She wept uncontrollably the day the doctor broke the news to her. Jane has been struggling with life so much already. She couldn't think of more reasons to be fed up of life. She had so much going on - inability to take care of herself and her mum, recently sacked from work and now,bone marrow cancer sets in.

The doctor had told her that her mum needs to undergo a surgery- bone marrow transplant which costs about 1.8 million and she has to sort out other medical bills which is seven hundred thousand.

She changed her position on the couch and sighed "Life is such a bitch. Everything just doesn't seem right with me. I'm really fed up of all these things happening.

Jane decided to get dressed and visit her mum at the hospital. She hurriedly took her bath and stood in front of her mirror. The beautiful Jane she knew had faded away. Despite that she's going through a lot, she was still very beautiful. She has a very soft hair and it's blonde colour complimented her skin so much. The most perfect face wasn't left out, one could easily get lost in those mesmerizing eyes of hers. She also has a hour-glass body....her body was to die for. Staring at her body could give men erection so easily. Damn, she was so blessed.

Jane got dressed and left her apartment. She drove into the hospital and went to see the doctor.

"Good afternoon Dr Jack". Jane said as she took her sit.

"Oh Miss Miller,thanks for dropping by. I called you to update you on your mother's health status. The more delayed the surgery gets, the worse her health gets".

" I know, I have been trying my best to get the money for the transplant." Jane said and sighed.

"Alright Miss Miller,I quite understand what you mean but have it in mind that the time you have is limited ".

"Ok Dr Jack and thank you for having me ". Jane said and left the hospital.

Alexander Smith,a man in his late twenties was summoned to a meeting by his parents. He knew that they were about to lament on the same issue. He was getting fed up due to the pressure. The Smiths were a prestigious and known family in New York City. They were also among the top billionaires.

"Fred, let's get going". Alexander called his personal assistant as he was already set to meet his parents.

"Yeah man. Hope you are sure you want to do this. I can call and make up an excuse for you if you want". Fred had dipped his hands into his pocket and was about to bring out his phone. Alexander shook his head a bit and Fred slowly returned his phone.

Fred Scott was more like Alexander's second hand- a personal assistant and even his best friend.

"Let's get some things at the supermarket" Alexander made his voice go higher through the music so Fred could hear him.

They made a stop at the supermarket and not up to twenty minutes,they left and continued their little journey. They arrived at the mansion soon after and made their way inside.

"Good evening Mr and Mrs Smith" Fred greeted the couples. Mrs Smith smiled and gave him a slight hug. Mr Smith gave him a handshake.

Alexander greeted them too and headed to the dining room.

"What's for dinner? I'm very hungry and I have had a stressful and tiring day" Alexander stretched out his hands a bit and open the plates in front of him. He took a fork and digged in. He ate like he was being chased buh he still looked cute eating like that. Everyone else joined him at the dining table and also ate.

When they were done eating,Mr Smith cleared his throat and said "Now to the main reason why you are here.

"Dad, I'm very much aware and I just don't have interest in any lady for now. I have tried my best".

"Well,you can't say you are trying your best when we haven't seen any results"Mrs Smith scoffed and fixed her eyes on her son. "My son,we want the best for you always. We understand why we have been pressurizing you".

"Huh,here we go again. I'll bring home a lady when I am ready. Just haven't found the right one yet. I know this is affecting my status in the business industry one way or the other but I'm actually not interested in opening my heart for anyone at the moment". Alexander tried explaining to his parents even though is not even interested in all this at all.

"Spare me that crap. Your position is at stake you'd better find something to do about it as soon as possible" Mr Smith said and left in anger. Mrs Smith followed her husband.

"Hmm....this is getting complicated. I have a suggestion but this is not the right place to discuss it ". Fred said while finishing his last piece of steak.

"Then let's go. We can discuss in the car".

They both stood up and left
