Thorns in Bloom A Contract of Secrets and RevengeChapter 1

After my divorce left me with nothing, I applied to become Benedict Fox's tenth contract girlfriend.

Survive three months, and the payout was ten million dollars.

People online were already placing bets that I'd flame out like the last nine and walk away empty-handed.

One month later, Benedict held a press conference and set that ten million right in front of me.

I tore up the contract on live camera.

What they didn't know was that I wasn't just after the money. I was after justice.

A "contract girlfriend" wasn't really a girlfriend. She was a workhorse for Fox Group.

Regular livestreams with the CEO, hit the performance targets, last three months, and the ten million was yours.

"I... my family was awful to begin with. Then after I got married, my ex beat me, cheated on me, and took my child away..."

The young woman ahead of me in line had dewy, pitiful eyes, reciting her script with practiced sincerity.

"I just... want a better life."

Tears spilled down her cheeks like rain.

I glanced down at my own suit and let out a dry laugh.
