The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1

A room in utter chaos.

Brittany Dustin opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

She forced herself to sit up, and the memory of last night floated in front of her. Growing up with her, her boyfriend of four years, Finn Boulton, chose to leave her to be with her half-sister, Patrina Dustin! She also joined forces with her bastard father to marry her to a sixty-seven-year-old man! In a fit of fury, she got drunk and casually found a handsome guy at the bar, promising that she would give him a hundred thousand dollars to cooperate with her in a fake marriage .

And the other party actually agreed! And...she slept with this handsome guy who only met once!

Memories of the whole night flooded back, and Brittany blushed beet red, covering her face as she glanced at the marriage agreement lying on the wooden bedside table.

Cursing inwardly, she decided alcohol is indeed the devil and she had been way too impulsive!

Sure, she didn't want to marry the old man, but marrying a man she'd only met once was way too risky!

No way!

She must divorce as soon as possible!

Brittany realized her clothes had been changed and had no doubt about who'd done it.

Rubbing her temples, she got out of bed and opened the bedroom door.

A nearly six-foot-tall man was standing by the window, tall and broad-shouldered in his understated gray shirt, his voice deep and husky.

"Granny, you're in the hospital again, aren’t you?"

Isaac Salter had just woken up when he received a call from his grandmother. She was repeating the old trick again, forcing him to marry by being hospitalized.

He was a little impatient, but accidentally hit the speakerphone button with his finger.

"Zac, my biggest wish is to see you married. You're almost thirty, and if you don't get married soon, I don't see the point in living..."

The old lady's voice, trembling with tears, reached Brittany and she instinctively stopped in her tracks.

So this guy was also being pushed into marriage by his family!

No wonder he agreed to a fake marriage last night!

Isaac was helpness.

He thought, "Granny, you've played this trick too many times. It doesn't work!"

"Zac, my heart, my head, my whole body hurts everywhere... If you don't bring a wife home soon, I can't live another day... Can I have the chance to see you build a happy family before I leave this world? The doctors all say, I don't have much time left. Zac, you just have pity on me!"

The old lady was still acting.

Isaac remained silent.

Brittany clenched her dress. She could hear that the old woman genuinely wished her grandson would marry soon.

They had already registered their marriage, if she asked for a divorce now, the old lady may be greatly stimulated! And besides, she needed a marriage now anyway.

She might as well put up with it for a while longer!

In the time Brittany was spacing out, Isaac had ended the call. As he turned his head, he met Brittany's hesitant eyes.

"Did you need something?"

He hadn't buttoned it properly, revealing a piece of delicate skin, and Brittany could vaguely see the smooth chest muscles. Brittany suddenly realized something and blushed fiercely!

She dared not look at the man's face, her eyes darting: "Um, are we really legally married?"

Isaac put down his phone, buttoned up his shirt, walked over to the bed, and put on his coat.

"Yes."

He had been outmaneuvered last night, but since she had approached him, he might as well make the best of it. After all, he needed a marriage too.

What happened last night seemed natural at the time, but thinking about it now, it was a bit impulsive. He didn't even know the woman's name, let alone her background!

"Your grandmother...I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just happened to hear..." Brittany explained uncomfortably.

"Well, actually, my grandmother..." Isaac tried to explain.

His grandmother has always been a drama queen, and this scene had been played out countless times!

"It's okay, you don't have to explain." Brittany interrupted him, patting her chest, "Let's cooperate. I'll help you deal with your grandmother, and you help me deal with my family. We don't divorce for now, okay?"

Isaac swallowed: "Cooperate?"

"Don't worry, I'll pay you a sum of money during this period, and then we'll be even."

Brittany thought he was worried about her not paying, so she took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to him: "My name is Brittany Dustin, the lady of the Dustin family for now. There's fifty thousand dollars here, consider it as a deposit."
