The Billionaire's Temporary WifeUpdated at Oct 29, 2024, 10:11
Billionaire Bennett Graham urgently needed a wife to close a business deal but his fiancée wasn’t ready to tie the knots yet.
So his grandmother picked the most unassuming maid for him. Everything was supposed to go incredibly well, and all he had to do was wait until he divorced her a year later.
But after seeing Maliyah’s ocean eyes…it wasn’t looking simple anymore.

Before I could get her up, it was as if she felt the light and an uncomfortable sound came out of her mouth.
"Uh-huh..." She raised her hand to cover her eyes. But I didn't have time to wait for her to wake up, so I told her to "Get Up."
My voice seemed to scare her, and her light-fearing eyes suddenly widened and she kept moving to the corner.
The only voice in the quiet art room was her fear-filled voice, "No...please...go away...don't come close to me."
She was afraid of me? I hadn't even spoken to her before, what was she afraid of?
This was definitely not going to work, I couldn't talk to her if she couldn't calm down. Then I moved closer to her, my hand on her trembling shoulder, and I whispered soothingly “Calm down.I’m not going to hurt you.I’m not going to hurt you.”I assured and then she moved her hair away from her face as if to stare at me properly.
Our eyes met.It was that moment.
It felt as if I was enchanted for a moment.
Those ocean eyes were the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.
