Itoshiki Akuma No Kiss / Hara Title : the Billionaire's Bought Mistress (Harlequin Romance R 2417)

[Machine Translation] Immediately after her father's death, Antonia was forced to find the money to repay his debts. However, it was not an amount that she could afford to pay back, especially since she was earning a living as an interpreter and travel guide. At a loss, she discovers that a man she has seen only a few times has taken out a portion of the debt without her permission. To a bewildered Antonia, the man, who introduced himself as Leif, said, "For six months, my love, I've been trying to pay you back. Antonia was so humiliated that she indignantly rejected the offer. But soon after that, the suspicion that her father had been embezzling public funds arose.
