[SLOW BURN} (CHECK OUT MY NEW MAFIA ROMANCE. OUT NOW!) "You can't hurt me anymore, Ace. I'm not that crybaby you used to know," she warned, taking a step back. "Who said anything about hurting anyone, darling? There's only one place I need to cry for me. One very," his eyes trailed down her body, and stopped between her thighs. "Very moist place." He took two steps forward, and closed the gap between them. Ace is the legitimate heir to the Atticus dynasty, but there's a condition. Grandpa before his death says he cannot fully inherit everything until he gets married, and stays married for at least a year. Quick to think, he finds a solution to his dilemma; A contract marriage. With the help of his personal assistant, Grant, He finds Fay Landon. Dainty Fay that cries a lot, and can talk a storm. He vows it's only a marriage of convenience, until the redhead let's her hair down, and shows him the woman behind the tears. She falls first, but he falls harder. In the middle of the war for a billion dollar empire, heartless Ace Atticus will learn that to come out victorious, he needs a Fay up his sleeve. THIRD MONTH OF WIN-WIN. PLEASE SUPPORT ME WITH YOUR VOTES, COLLECTIONS, REVIEWS, COMMENTS, AND GIFTS. THANK YOU.
Fay left Ace's room as quietly as she had come in. Only this time, on her own two feet.
With the tray containing the now empty plate held firmly in her hands, she made her way down the stairs.
She had just walked down the last stairs when Alice, who was passing through the living room, hurried over to her.
"Mrs Fay, let me get that," she said, stretching her hand to collect the tray.
"That's okay. I wanted to take this to the kitchen myself. It was really delicious, Alice."
"I'm just glad you were able to eat. I thought you wouldn't be."
A little laugh escaped Fay's throat. "If I'm refusing food, then I'm very weak. Other than that, I'd never say no to food. Especially one as delicious as yours," Fay buttered her up, making her cheese with gratitude.
"Thank you Mrs Fay."
A maid walked into the living room at that moment. On seeing her, Alice quickly beckoned on her.
