A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love by Arny Gallucio

Chapter 2831

Melissa crouched in the dimly lit kitchen, tirelessly scrubbing the stack of greasy bowls and plates.

If she finished these, she’d earn $100, adding up to $3, 00 for a month’s work.

With her other two jobs, her monthly earnings could soar to nearly $20, 000.

She was determined to pay off her debts as quickly as possible.

She often thought about clearing her debt to Marcus, believing it would bring her some peace when facing him.

The thought of their relationship, however, was something she dared not entertain.

The events of that night in her rented apartment seemed like a distant dream to her.

A dream she felt she should forget.
