THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

She raised her voice in disbelief at the contents of the solicitor's reading of her father's final will. There is no possibility that what her father requested of her was lawful for her to receive her rightful fortune. For God's sake, she was the only daughter!

"You heard what I said, hija. It was stipulated in the will; have a look." Attorney Jaime Elarcosa presented Daniella the scene in which she was adamantly opposed to believing.

"However, that was ludicrous! At this pace, how am I to find a man?" She screamed, losing her composure totally regardless of whether Paloma was present when the solicitor informed her that she could only access her fortune if she had a kid before her age exceeded the dates on a calendar. She turned thirty-two months ago, which means she only has ten months left to follow her father's demands! However, regardless of how she views it, it was really ludicrous and insane!

They placed her father's body to rest last week. Gregory Reyes was still a youthful man at the age of sixty-five, but he died as a result of a cardiac issue.

Because her father adored her, she believed it was implausible that he would coerce her into doing anything she disliked - unless he was bullied! Indeed, he let her to do whatever she pleased and never questioned her decision to shun men or fall in love. Her eyes were darting at her stepmother, who sat across from her.

Daniella vividly recalled her Aunt Erlinda going insane when the guy she loved deceived her and she committed herself as a result. Furthermore, she couldn't forget how her mother got irascible and angry against her when Gregory was unable of reciprocating her affection.

Daniella made a commitment to herself in high school that she would never fall in love or let any man to grow too close to her. Daniella was certain that males were capable of duping any woman, and she was determined not to fall prey to love.

Ignore her father's money! She could live without her inheritance, but there was something, or rather someone, she would rather not have. Paloma, her stepmother, sat coyly on the chair opposite hers, listening to her scream. The bitch must be overjoyed that she would receive everything that belongs to her family in 10 months. Over her decomposing body! She could never let Paloma win... ever!

Paloma grinned as Daniella struggled to maintain her sat position due to her rage. She had been living with the girl for twenty years and yet could not consider her a mother. When Daniella scowled at her, Paloma responded with a look of her own, and their boiling eyes erupted into all-out combat. She made every effort to capture Daniella's heart, but Gregory's daughter was too obstinate to accept her, and Paloma was forced to battle. Gregory saw them as equals, but Daniella saw them differently.

"So, how much time do you have remaining?" Paloma mocked Daniella immediately after the solicitor left.

"Why are you concerned? You must be thrilled to obtain everything! But... I will not permit you." She stated as she elegantly departed her father's library, which was where the will was read.

Paloma pursued her and attempted to apprehend the small creature. "However, Ella, who would be interested in you when you look like that?" She scrutinized the woman from head to toe, mocked her looks, and observed Daniella clench her fist and grind her teeth.

She had the audacity to look down on her! While she loved men's attire over women's, she was still 100 % female on the inside, and she would know how to charm a man...certainly. "Would you like to wager?"
