Billionaire's Marriage Of In-Convenience
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.

Later that night, Esmeralda was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Occasionally she would blink her eyes and then heave a sigh. This continued for almost an hour. She would change sides in bed in hope that sleep would finally come to her but each time she would find herself staring at the ceiling.
Her thoughts went to the time when Ethan dropped her at her apartment. He had been quite a gentleman to her and this was giving her a lot of mixed feelings.
These days she has been thinking a lot. Most of the time, she would be thinking about Oliver. How their romance started and how it ended. She had always known that loving him was a losing game and she had seen so much evidence of the same but each time she would find excuses to justify those small clues. In her heart, she had determined that Oliver was her one true love. She was not ready to listen to anything else and no logic and reason had made her think otherwise.
