Kate



A girl being thrown out of her home by her step mother after father's death. Her step mother also took away her father's wealth, leaving her to work on the streets. She was a graduate from a prestigious school so with her qualifications she was able to get the job of a secretary the next day. Her boss, who employed her, had other plans in mind because he usually never employed females in his company. He employed her because he wanted to offer her a marriage contract to suppress the pressure from Andrew, his only surviving relative. Andrew was on his deathbed and it was his last wish. But then the CEO is someone who doesn't like women so he had to opt for a marriage contract.

Lena tightened her grip around Caleb’s waist, her frustration bubbling beneath the surface. Caleb’s steps faltered, and she slowed, tugging at Ethan’s attention.
