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

 My chest began to tighten; fear held its grip around my lungs. 


 “Denver…” She gazed at my shaking hands. 


 “Are you—“ Then I kissed her, as if it would be my last. 


 “Denver you’re panicking! I’ll call the—“ 


 “If you call them, I don’t think that we’ll be able to live until the next day.” 


 “At least we call them.” Wisdom is determined. I cannot see a hint of panic in her eyes. Or maybe she’s just hiding it. 


 “Wisdom…” I’m now breathing irregularly, fingers still trembling. “I’m just gonna grab my calming teddy.” 


 “Your calming teddy?” she scowled. 


 “My inhaler.” Then I sprinted outside the master bedroom. I secretly pushed the emergency button in the wall before I went outside that automatically notified the nearest police station of our current situation. 


 I went downstairs, careful to not go closer to the main door in case he’s already inside. I tried to remember where I last put my inhaler.
