Paid to the Billionaire

"Minerva was so close to tying the knot with her long-time boyfriend Derrick when an unexpected accident fatally killed him. Only five months before she’ll give birth, she had to look for various jobs that can raise her and her upcoming child until she met Darwin Gray, the CEO of the biggest company in their city and happens to be Derrick’s half-brother. She was skeptical at first to live with him until Darwin revealed that Derrick sold her to him to finance Derrick’s gambling lifestyle. Minerva was heartbroken and was left with no choice but to be his Mrs. Gray. But, as the winds of fate change, Minerva will soon realize that one must never judge a book by its cover—that despite Darwin’s ruthless appearance lies a heart that has long been yearning for one true love."

CHAPTER 48

　　 

　　Darwin’s POV

　　 

　　“Look Lushan! You look like that fish!” Holding my fifth beer of the day, I immediately turned around to see Mariella teasing Lushan as she quickly pinched his cheeks.

　　         I never expected the two to see them here, the place where I ‘cloistered’ myself from everyone who knows me by drinking and weeping and plunging myself into deep thoughts, then drinking again. But with Mariella and Lushan’s presence…God, I never felt out of place as today. I pretended that I didn’t—I wasn’t in the bar in front of the large aquarium where several sea fauna were swimming before everyone’s eyes.

　　         “Oh really?” Lushan challenged. “You look like that puffer fish over there.” Mariella nudged his elbow.

　　         I am not single. In fact, I have a fiancée. But why the hell do I feel so goddamn small and lonely and unloved compared to these two?

　　         I’ve been a coward. I know that.
