Tessa leads a quiet, hardworking life, juggling two jobs just to make ends meet. When Clinton’s powerful father proposes a betrothal between her and his son, the notorious playboy Clinton, Tessa surprisingly agrees—seeing it as a rare opportunity to change her future. But not everyone supports the decision, especially her protective grandmother, who sees danger in the arrangement. As Tessa and Clinton are drawn into a bond neither of them expected, they must face family opposition, hidden motives, and their own growing feelings in a world where love was never part of the plan.

Chapter one
Maryland, Rockville~The cafe Tessa had just finished her morning shift at her first job. This might be the last time she will be working here. Her eyes were puffy and red, as she had been crying. Earlier that day, Tessa got to work as early as possible so, as not to meet her furious manager. (Richard) and fortunately for her,she got to work before her which led to the deduction of 10 percent of her salary. Tessa stood on a spot looking shocked, and surprised. But she couldn’t do anything. Tessa pleaded with her manager to reduce the money, but all to no avail. Funniest part? She didn’t know her offense. She only received the 10 percent deduction of her salary from her manager(Richard) Of course, she has heard a lot about Richard. How his face could kill at one sight because of his ugliness, height and everything, but Tessa was not interested. The news surrounding Richard was scary not meant for someone like Tessa as soft as she is. She is twenty one years old, doing all kinds of petty jobs, to provide for herself and that of her grandma.

Tessa got to her room and looked around it but was not happy because her clothes and shoes are all old and dirty and she can’t afford new ones. I can’t risk removing money from my savings” said Tessa. Sometimes she would stay in her room crying when she says her mates going to school and partying.but she had no choice. Tessa freshened up and came down for dinner. She met her granny dishing the food, the aroma filled the air of the living room.
