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.
"Miss Jade, I don't know what your deal is with Esmeralda but I would not tolerate it if she is inconvenienced by your family because of you, "Ethan warned her. "No one in your family is kind enough to not retaliate if they found out that she knew all along where you were. Do whatever the hell you want but don't implicate her in your mess."
Kierra pursed her lips. "I will not let my family harm her."
"Can you promise me that?" Ethan asked.
She fell silent because even he knew that she couldn't do that. If her parents listened to her, she wouldn't have had to run from her wedding. She would have straight said to them in the beginning that she would not marry Oliver Jenner but here she was seeking refuge in her ex-fiance's ex-lover's house.
"Of course, you can't, " Ethan sarcastically said. After that, he didn't say anything to her. A while later, Esmeralda came with a mug of hot coffee and took a seat next to them.
