My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira glanced around cautiously and only opened the note after ensuring the curtains were still drawn.

She was genuinely impressed.

She had barely been here a day and still hadn't gotten the full picture, yet someone had already managed to bribe the staff and send her a message?
