[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.
"Fay, please calm down, and talk to me," Seth begged.
"I don't want to hear it, grandpa! I just don't want to see that bastard anywhere close to the things I hold dear. That includes you, and this house!"
She whirled, and almost jumped into the staff that had just entered the room.
"Dry the floors and whatever furniture was affected by the water," she ordered, before storming out.
The next place she ran too was to check on her daughter.
She entered the room, and let out the breath she had been holding when she saw her playing with her toys.
Her nanny looked up, and she quickly brought her fingers to her lips to silence her.
Tiptoeing back, she gently closed the door, and rested her back against it.
She shut her eyes, waiting for her pounding heart to settle.
God, she had been livid! She couldn't just wrap her head around the fact Ace waltz into her home just to discredit her.
