The Billionaire's Devotion

(Excerpt—) Their faces were still inches apart, breaths entangling. Instead of her lips, he kissed her on the cheek before pulling away to look at her. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She had trained her eyes on the view outside the window. "We could try again," Jacob said. "I don't know what you want from me." Sutton replied in a quiet voice. "I'll keep my word this time around. Six months and I'll set you free, Sutton Price."  Sutton wasn't listening anymore. Something else was on her mind. She brought her eyes to him again, and her next words were not what he expected.

Chapter 18

She was up digging for any information she could get on her fiancé. Sutton wanted to know more about him. She wanted to understand the man, Jacob Mackay.

She had discovered a lot about his life in Singapore. Blogs wrote well about him. He didn't have any scandals tied to his name. In fact, he was a person people looked up to. She had also seen records of his achievements, and it almost made her feel intimidated again.

Sutton rolled over, uncovering herself from the duvet. She had to be at the University in less than two hours, and she still didn't have enough conviction to leave her bed. She needed to register her mind with recent developments.
