The Billionaire’s Playful Wife

A man with elegance and a strikingly handsome face entered a grand cuisine and walked straight to the area specially reserved for him. He was wearing a cocktail slim fit tailored dark suit paired with a dress shirt, a slim tie, and polished black shoes. He sat down with flair as he splendidly stretched his left arm and looked at his watch.

His exquisite brown eyes darted from side to side. He moistened his lips and swallowed hard. He took a deep breath as he was starting to get impatient already. It was now exactly seven in the evening but his date was still out of sight. His knitted eyebrows released a cold aura emanating a powerful brooding air that outmoded the warm atmosphere of the cuisine.

Andrew Bradford is the most perfect man that a woman would ever meet. A man of a complete package - rich, young and handsome. It’s his 28th birthday, and as far as he was concerned, his date was the one who initiated to have dinner with him on this special day.

Right, he was waiting for Amanda Collins. The daughter of her mom’s best friend that was destined to be his wife. 

His memory two years ago flashbacked in his mind. It was his 26th birthday when they announced the arranged marriage to Mandy.

“I don’t want to get married!” The seventeen-year-old Mandy screamed. Her face flushing in anger.

“Mandy, listen to me.” Her mom, Janeth Collins, was trying to pacify her.

“No, Mom. How could you do this to me? You know well that I don’t want to get married.” Pain and disappointment were written all over her face when she learned that she’s going to marry Andrew Bradford, the only son of her mom’s best friend. 

“I was just thinking of your future, sweetheart. Please-” Janeth Collins was trying to explain, but Mandy interrupted her.

“No!” Mandy screamed once more as she shoved the glasses and plates on the table before she ran out of the house.

She was so mad. She couldn’t believe that her mom would arrange a marriage for her.

Andrew's phone suddenly chimed that returned his thought. He gritted his teeth. It's been more than an hour already. He fretfully stood up and walked out of the place full of resentment.

Amanda Collins or Mandy is a stunningly gorgeous, and smart college student. She was known as ‘beauty and brain but heartless’, a man-hater, playgirl, and a spoiled brat. However, she doesn't care whatever names they want to call her.

She’s playful and never really wanted a commitment. She has a lot of suitors but she never took them seriously because she hates every man. She only dated them to play with their feelings.

For her, only a loser fell in love. That love was only between a mother and her child. It was all because she grew up without a father.

According to her mom, Janeth Collins, she loved her father so much. However, it was a one-sided love affair. Since she was deeply in love with her father at that time, she did not mind even if he did not love her. She just hoped that he would learn to love her in the future.

Unfortunately, after her mom got pregnant, her father left with another woman.

Yes, she was born out of wedlock. She never saw her father even once. That’s why she hated every man. 

Although her mom told her that not all men are the same, she did not believe her especially when her mom found another man when she was eleven years old. It was the time when her mom thought that she needed a father. Thus, she tried to enter into a relationship again.

In the beginning, everything was smooth and well between her mom and her stepfather. They seemed to be a happy family although she was not close to her stepfather.

Until one day, Mandy caught her stepfather kissing another woman. She saw them with her very own eyes. She was crying back then telling her mom about what she saw. She was so mad that she said to her mom to never find another man again, that she does not need a father anymore.

Since then, her mom did not look for another man. She just focused all her attention on her.

Everything was fine up until she learned that her mom entered into an agreement with her best friend. That she would marry Andrew Bradford. She told her that she was thinking of her future.

Mandy was so furious at the time when she learned about the arranged marriage. Consequently, she did not face her mom for a month. However, her mom got sick. She learned that her mom was suffering from stage 2 liver cancer and had only a maximum of five years to live.
