From "can I borrow a kiss for bet" to "It was nice sleeping with you" Ethan and Esmeralda entered the most inconvenient marriage of the century. _______ A commitment-phobic and emotionally unavailable Billionaire. That is the reputation that precedes Ethan Westbury. The words cold and distant don't even begin to describe him. An unwarned kiss made him cross his path with Esmeralda Fox, the eccentric actress. She is sure that the billionaire who has more money than emotions is the devil in disguise. Now, the story gets spicy here. Ethan's grandfather's will inheritance clause had posed a great threat to everything he had achieved so far in his life. Get married before his thirty-fourth birthday or lose everything to his Asshole cousin who would stop at nothing to defeat him. Marrying the emerald-eyed curvy beauty is the only option he had. The problem? He is unable to keep up his distant and cold appeal before the devilish beauty. She is everything he hadn't expected. She is like a typhoon, breaking all of his fences and walls and creeping into his heart like a clawing vine. Suddenly, it's impossible for him to keep up with this marriage of convenience when his contractual wife is nothing but an inconvenience with a capital I.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked her. Inwardly, he was scared to see her crying like this. His heart was in utter pain. She always had such a careless look on her face. Nobody knew what she would do or say the next moment. It might annoy other people but he liked this thing about her. However, right now, she was so silent just staring at him with those tears shining in her eyes, he was scared that she was about to cry again. And those sobs, he hoped that he never experienced something like this again. If he had to give up his wealth just to see this woman always smile, he would. Tears did not suit her. He wished that she would always keep on smiling.
Esmeralda nodded her head. Now that he was here, she was a little okay. How thankful she was to him for coming to her.
"You did not give me a hug that you owed me, "She tried to sound whiny but she failed miserably and it came out as a helpless whisper.
