Hello, Ex! I Finally Found My Worth!

They say Love is blind, but no one is ever truly blind in love. We see everything; we just choose to ignore them because we're scared to move on or start afresh. Twenty-eight years old, Emma Winters has her dreams clearly defined. To have a loving family, a beautiful home, and a stable, fulfilling life. Not only do those dreams come crumbling down when her husband hands her divorce papers just when she tells him she's pregnant, but her pride and dignity are questioned when Jake announces that Emma was unfaithful to him. Emma loses hope in everything she believes in. However, hope comes to her when the enigmatic billionaire Alexander Sterling offers her a way out: A contract marriage to him. Will Emma accept this way out of her predicament even when this savior is none other than her ex-husband's uncle? What happens when she accepts the contract and is only chased back by her ex? Will she return to her once lover, or will she accept her growing feelings for her contract husband? Find out as we unravel Emma's story together! *****Excerpt******** “Why would you help when I was put in this mess by my own husband?” Emma cut in, now crying. “Because your husband is my nephew, and not only do I want to salvage the situation my nephew put you in, I want to escape his plot,” Alex said, and Emma’s heart stopped for a moment, a cold chill running down her spine as she replayed the words in her head. Nephew? His nephew? Jake was this man's... Alex's nephew? She mused, and then the realization of what that meant dawned on her like a crashing wave, knocking the breath from her lungs. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, the shock evident on her face. “Your nephew? You’re Alex Sterling, Jake's uncle?” she asked, unable to believe it herself. Alex nodded, his expression unchanged. “Yes. I'm his uncle,” Alex confirmed, and Emma shook her head.

I'm Human

Alex leaned back in his chair, studying her. Though he wanted to consider all she was saying but, she had hurt him with her words.

"Emma..." he began, trying to find the right words to tell her it was best they remained as they were now since he wasn't sure he wouldn't fall for her at the end of this.

Before he could continue, she interrupted. "I enjoy your company, Alex. I don't want us to keep avoiding each other, please. Can we stop this?"

After he left the house that morning without checking in on her or even leaving a message with Christopher, leaving her to feel alone and neglected, there was no way she would leave without resolving things.

His eyes darkened slightly. "But that was what you wanted. You wanted us to define our boundaries. You said this was only an arrangement and that I was overstepping. That's why I'm giving you your space," he said, and Emma sighed in exasperation.
