Wisdom Weisz was probably the unluckiest woman in the world. She lost her house and ten-month-old daughter in a fire in a single day. And what’s worse is that on the same day, her husband was making love to her best friend in the latter’s apartment without paying any sort of remorse for her. Weeks after, she was also fired from her job for the viral video that was taken on the time she shamed her ex-husband and ex-best friend in front of many people.
        	Frustrated, she was left jobless and spent her remaining money in a luxury hotel’s bar. With destiny as unpredictable as ever, she met the billionaire in the bar who she already came across at various moments of her life. The man offered her a job and it was called, “Wife for Hire”, meaning she will be his wife without any emotional attachments. Wisdom was skeptical at first when the billionaire showed him the sum of money she will receive weekly. If she accepts, the billionaire will pay her upfront with a hundred dollars in her bank in just a blink of an eye.
        	Wisdom eventually accepts as she deemed this as an opportunity for revenge to her former husband and best friend as the billionaire happened to be her ex-husband’s boss and her ex-best friend's employer.
        	Wisdom Weisz was on cloud nine at first until she realized that her heart was about to fall for him. As a whirlpool of emotions stirred and a web of conflicts weaved, Wisdom will soon find out that this job was not easy as she thought as her heart begins to fall for the man who had employed her to be his hired wife.

Wife for Hire

Back then, it was Richard. Now, she’s calling Gerry several times. 


Is it really her nature to talk to the past? To the people who had been part of her past? I am her present—and her future, if only I let my heart decide. 


But this is too much. Envy is filling my soul as if it’s the water and I am the glass, half-full and half-empty at the same time. 


Wisdom is taking a bath. She left her phone on our bed. Her phone rang and it just stopped after seconds, turns out Wisdom missed a call from Gerry Grace. 


I was about to pick it up, to answer it. But…it seems that a conversation with a man-to-man is less thrilling since I can only punch the air and not the face of Gerry Grace. I have fired him from my company and I just heard the news that he’s now working in one of the company’s competitors. 


Truly, he wants to piss me off. He already succeeded at this instant, the moment he made himself present in my beloved’s life—in our life.
