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.

"Did you contact Ethan?" Hazel asked. Even Oliver, the ex, called but there was no trace of Ethan. These two just got married but they were staying apart. Not just this, he didn't even call to check if his wife was fine or not. She was not feeling good about it. After getting such treatment from her husband, Hazel did not want Esmeralda to go through the same thing. It truly hurts to be ignored by the person you care too much for.
Esmeralda fell silent. She did not know what to say, "He must be busy with work."
She was telling herself that Ethan and she were contractually married and it was okay if he did not check up on her. But somewhere in her heart, she was hoping for him to call her or run desperately to her, asking if she was okay. She knew that she was thinking too dramatically but that's what we do when we call someone ours.
Hazel signed, "How can someone be so busy with work that they have no time to check up on you?"
