Billionaire's Marriage Of In-Convenience
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.

"What's up with your sister?" Kierra asked as she looked at the angry Esmeralda cleaning the house. The house was shining as if someone had rubbed the floors ten times already.
Ivy merely shrugged her shoulder.
"Ever since you guys came from your days out three days ago, she has been repeatedly cleaning the already-cleaned apartment. Hell, I can see my face on the floor, "Kierra said in a whisper. "It's getting scary now."
"Cleaning and cooking is her stress buster, " Ivy replied. "She is fine, just mad at herself." She looked at Kierra's beautiful braided hair and said, "Sister Kierra, can you braid my hair? I don't know how to."
"Of course, I can, " Kierra smiled at her.
"Em, do you want an oil massage?" Ivy asked her sister.
Esmeralda looked at her sister and nodded her head. She left the mop there and came to her. "But who will give me an oil massage? You don't touch oil and hence you can't make your own hair."
"Kierra said she will give us an oil massage, "Ivy said.
"I will?" Kierra asked in confusion.
"Yeah, " Ivy nodded her head. She gave a look to her and the girl understood the deal.
"Okay!" Esmeralda said on the cold floor and Kierra had no option but to give a nice hair massage to her. She saw her sister eating yoghurt and strawberries and asked, "When are you going home?"
"Never, " Ivy said with a blank expression.
"What do you mean?" Esmeralda asked, horrified.
"I don't wanna go back home, " Ivy shrugged as if it was no big deal. "Dad knows. You can tell mom about my decision. I like being here."
"Aviana Ivy Fox! I'm ain't cleaning your mess, " Esmeralda clearly said. Oh God, what would she say to her mother? Her mother was scary. She was afraid that Mommy Fox would twist their ears and bring them back to Italy.
"I got my GED. I received an acceptance letter from MIT, " Ivy told her. "I registered for an online course. I got a job in California."
Esmeralda clutched her chest as if she was having a heart attack. She looked at the dumbfounded Kierra and said, "Take me to the hospital. This girl is giving me a heart attack."
Kierra ignored the dramatic woman and looked at Ivy in a full-on fangirling way. "You are my idol from now on. Master, take me as your underling."
"You said you found a job in California? On what basis?" Esmeralda asked her sister, completely ignoring one overdramatic woman.
"You know some too universities give out free computer science courses?" Ivy said and Esmeralda nodded her head. "I took many of them and scored quite high. I sent my resume to many companies and I got selected. And I might have developed an app and sold it for some capital to settle in this ridiculously expensive city. The company I sold my app too hired me to aid in further developing that app."
She said all this in a nonchalant tone that made Esmeralda and Kierra hard to believe.
"You made an app?" Kierra asked her idol. "What kind of app?"
"Study-related app, " Ivy told her. "I made a system that gives access to users to get all the study material available on the internet about a particular subject. For instance, if you search 'notes on metabolism', you will get all the notes present on the internet about the search. Now, I'm hired to develop it further by adding other features. I hated school and homework and I made the app to help myself. So, I made it. When someone approached me saying they wanted to buy it, I gave them a ridiculous amount to scare away the scammers but they accepted."
She shrugged. "I got the money and they got the app that I made out of laziness."
"My dear, your sister is awesome, " Kierra said with a wide smile.
"Did you tell your dad about the news?" Esmeralda calmly asked her sister.
"No, " Ivy said. "Mom will take my five million and will say she is saving for my marriage. You know she hates my spending attitude and I hate her penny-pinching attitude."
"And so you ran from home?" Esmeralda asked her in horror.
"Yes, I learned it from you, " Ivy blinked her eyes.
Esmeralda had no words to retort because her sister was right.
