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. "What really happened to Perseus Castle?"  Jacob's hand fell away from Sutton's. His adam apple bobbed as he searched her face. He had the choice to lie. *** Jacob is a man with many demons, who finds himself entangled in a forbidden romance with his father's new wife. A marriage of inconvenience seems to be his only way out of it, but nothing goes according to plan. Sutton is a wealthy heiress broken badly from her past; a past that ties her with the billionaire devil Jacob, even before they meet...

Chapter 31

                          Jacob Mackay

Jacob didn't feel as confident or as mighty as he normally would. This was because he would see Sutton today. He wondered how one person could make so much difference. After the night of their engagement party, he had made plans to spend an entire day with her today. He had used the excuse of making wedding plans as a front, but he had the feeling that Sutton saw right through him. 

Jacob had been so nervous while asking Sutton out on an indirect date. It was quite unlike him. He handled his business like a pro and excelled in everything that had come his way so far. He didn't understand why his brain turned to mush around this woman. A woman he wasn't supposed to care about. But apparently, he had caught feelings. And now he was going to get up, take a shower, dress up and go pick Sutton up. The smile on his face told him he was fucked.
