Ashley Gusman, a determined young Filipina, was driven by her sole ambition to provide a better life for her family. She was willing to go to great lengths to achieve this goal, even taking on the role of a surrogate mother for a Billionaire Heir. ***~*** CEO Tanaga Jones, who needed an heir for his empire, was adamant about not wanting a wife. Ultimately, he contracted with a woman to bear him a child.
Tanaga hesitated, carefully weighing what to say next. He sensed Ashley's reluctance and the seriousness of the circumstance.
He understood that she needed to keep her family's confidence and that, given how quickly everything had transpired, it would be hard for them to believe that she had wed someone they had never met within her first month in Japan.
"You're right, Ashley; it would be hard for your family to believe that we're married, especially with how quickly things have happened," Tanaga said in a light but serious tone.
"However, we must find a way to make this work, and I believe I have."
Leaning back in his chair, he ran a hand thoughtfully through his hair before carrying on.
