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.
Esmeralda did not even realize when she fell asleep. One minute, she was getting comfortable with him and the next moment she was dead asleep on the couch. Maybe, it was because she was overly emotional and her body shut on its own when it felt that it was secure.
Ethan did not move for a long time for fear that she would wake up if he moved. He let her sleep like that on his chest. It was like a kid was hugging him and falling asleep on his shoulder. After an hour, when he was sure that she would not take up easily now, he held her in his arms and brought her to her bedroom and made her lie on the bed.
