From "can I borrow a kiss for bet" to "It was nice sleeping with you" Ethan and Esmeralda entered the most inconvenient marriage of the century. _______ A commitment-phobic and emotionally unavailable Billionaire. That is the reputation that precedes Ethan Westbury. The words cold and distant don't even begin to describe him. An unwarned kiss made him cross his path with Esmeralda Fox, the eccentric actress. She is sure that the billionaire who has more money than emotions is the devil in disguise. Now, the story gets spicy here. Ethan's grandfather's will inheritance clause had posed a great threat to everything he had achieved so far in his life. Get married before his thirty-fourth birthday or lose everything to his Asshole cousin who would stop at nothing to defeat him. Marrying the emerald-eyed curvy beauty is the only option he had. The problem? He is unable to keep up his distant and cold appeal before the devilish beauty. She is everything he hadn't expected. She is like a typhoon, breaking all of his fences and walls and creeping into his heart like a clawing vine. Suddenly, it's impossible for him to keep up with this marriage of convenience when his contractual wife is nothing but an inconvenience with a capital I.
When Ethan woke up this morning, he felt a weight on his chest. Slowly, rubbing his eyes, he tried to get up but a human arm was entangled around him. As he touched another human flesh, his eyes widened and he threw away the arm entangled around him as if he could not bear to be touched by this person. It was as if he just had an instant realization of committing a sin.
This time when he saw clearly who it was, realization dawned upon him. He and Esmeralda shared the same bed. Why? How?
Suddenly, he could not recall anything and then he realized that nothing of that sort happened or he would have known or recalled. Thankfully, none of them was drunk tonight. Or he dared not imagine the consequences. He didn't claim to be a good man. As he knew what he had done the last time, he let himself lose in alcohol.
