[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.
"What's with you, man?" Landon asked as they stepped out.
"What are you talking about?"
"You were kinda an ass in there. Why didn't you want your wife to know you got the ice cream for her?"
"When I told you to get ice cream, did I mention it's for any specific person?" He hissed, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"But it was for her. We both know you bought it for her. I don't understand you right now. Why exactly did you get married, Ace?"
"Lower your voice for fucks sake! Jeez!"
"I just want to understand it. I came back from Amsterdam, and you're suddenly married. The press didn't get a hint, neither did the public."
"If you would just shut up, I'd explain it when we're in a more private place."
"Fine," he said, but it was far from fine. Something was way off. "Why'd you call me out?" He was asking when the door opened, and the pretty doctor stepped out.
His tongue tied, as he stared openly at her.
