[SLOW BURN} (CHECK OUT MY NEW MAFIA ROMANCE. OUT NOW!) "You can't hurt me anymore, Ace. I'm not that crybaby you used to know," she warned, taking a step back. "Who said anything about hurting anyone, darling? There's only one place I need to cry for me. One very," his eyes trailed down her body, and stopped between her thighs. "Very moist place." He took two steps forward, and closed the gap between them. Ace is the legitimate heir to the Atticus dynasty, but there's a condition. Grandpa before his death says he cannot fully inherit everything until he gets married, and stays married for at least a year. Quick to think, he finds a solution to his dilemma; A contract marriage. With the help of his personal assistant, Grant, He finds Fay Landon. Dainty Fay that cries a lot, and can talk a storm. He vows it's only a marriage of convenience, until the redhead let's her hair down, and shows him the woman behind the tears. She falls first, but he falls harder. In the middle of the war for a billion dollar empire, heartless Ace Atticus will learn that to come out victorious, he needs a Fay up his sleeve. THIRD MONTH OF WIN-WIN. PLEASE SUPPORT ME WITH YOUR VOTES, COLLECTIONS, REVIEWS, COMMENTS, AND GIFTS. THANK YOU.
Dinner ended an hour after the call, and Fay was only happy to finally leave. It wasn't because she didn't enjoy the company of the people around, but because she wanted to go home and rest.
After that, she would like to think about how she would navigate the latest problem that was Xylon Bass.
There was also the case of greed, which manifested in the hunger she still felt.
If only she could get more food without looking like a greedy pig.
She stood outside waiting for Ace to be done with whatever transaction they were doing so they could leave.
As she stood by the car, her eyes went to the entrance of the restaurant, and she experienced a brief whiplash.
She saw Alexander again, but it was just a memory. That was what thought until she felt someone tap her shoulders. She blinked, and he was still standing before her.
"Alexander?" Her brows raised as her eyes widened.
