~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fresh out of college, I achieved the remarkable feat of graduating as valedictorian and at the top of my class, armed with a master's degree in business, administration, and management.
What began as an unexpected opportunity soon evolved into something more complicated.
My path got intricately entwined with an individual whose name sends shivers down spines.
Ace Rivera, one of the world's most influential and accomplished CEOs. Not only is Ace Rivera ruthlessly handsome, he's also one of the most feared men among the underground.
Getting an opportunity to work alongside him as an executive assistant at one of the most prestigious and respected companies in the nation is going to be a life whirling chance.
What happens when I find myself and my family in a bad situation and the only person I can think of is my grumpy boss who does no favors whatsoever?
He's willing to help me, with his own requirements.
Marry him.
Can we pull off a charade where we pretend to be married for three years, with our pictures all over the place, going to multiple events and balls, and act like we're head over heels in love?
I now realize our marriage was doomed from the start.
Why?
Because it was all a facade.
