"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

　　She was engaged to Damon, my soon to be father-in-law.


　　        	I glanced at Cyrene, who was under the flowerless tree. In her arms was my child, Hemera Lou.


　　        	It has been three months since I've been admitted to the hospital and I just managed to be discharged an hour ago.


　　        	The sky is gray, as gray as the stone that rests atop the bed where Derrick eternally rests.


　　        	I don’t care if it’s drizzling. I don’t care if I get wet as long as Cyrene and Hemera don't. I don’t give a damn if it will rain because, in my eyes, the world has long since been raining. Even with Darwin’s sunshine smile and moonbeam eyes, you can never keep rain from coming in my life. That no matter how bright the world is, one can never stop a rain from pouring. For after every rain, there is sunshine. And in every bright sunny day comes a cold and chilling rainy afternoon.
