"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."

Paid to the Billionaire

　　 “How can she be so sure that Darwin’s the father?”


　　        	That is one of the reasons why Mariella is my bestfriend. She agrees to almost anything I say; anything I express.


　　        	“I don’t know…” I said. “One minute, she was just climbing down from the stairs. Then in a blink of an eye, she’s already on his lips along with the words ‘I’m pregnant, Darwin, and you’re the father’.”


　　        	Mariella laughed at my way of copying Gyzell’s annoying high-pitched voice. “That’s also the reason I immediately walked out like what he did to me when he saw me and Lushan talking, and quickly grabbed a cab on my way here.”


　　        	“I never knew you were an impersonator,” she said, wiping the froth from the coffee on her lips.


　　        	I sighed in dismay. Perhaps I was just meant to be a payment. Perhaps if I just agree that I’ll serve him in just a hundred days or so, I’ll now be freed of our debts—from Derrick’s debts.
