Marry me

Vera smirked.

Since Zane Kingston toyed with her even though he already had a fiance, she had to show him he lost a gem.

The first step was to grab a man's thigh.

It had to be someone Zane Kingston loathed or idolized. The only person who fit the role was none other than Ezra Kingston.

The most feared French mafia leader. "What is he doing in the club?" The girl from the side queried.

"I heard he is searching for a wife. My father said he only needs a wife who won't fall in love with him. Weird right? The most feared French mafia leader doesn't need a lover but a woman for the role of his wife only. I also heard there was a woman who claimed to be his wife. But ended up falling for him after a week. And he kicked her out"

The girl chuckled.

While Vera eavesdropped along with Aspen. He also was curious.

But when the girl mentioned the man was the most feared French mafia leader, he gasped in surprise.

"Vera, are you being serious?! Your jerk ex is Zane Kingston?!" Aspen asked in disbelief.

He thought it was some asshole since the woman never mentioned her ex's name.

Turned out the jerk he kept calling was a nephew of Ezra Kingston!

"Yes, why?"

Vera tilted her head and questioned back. "Nothing.. just it is unanticipated from my imagination. You should have told me it's Zane Kingston"

Aspen complained.

"What makes you think I would mention that dickhead's name from my pretty lips?!"

Vera rolled her eyes as she rested her hands on the bar.

"Well, I agree with that" Aspen approved.

"By the way did you hear them?" Vera rose her brows.

"About what?" The boy asked back in confusion.

"He is searching for a wife who doesn't have a heart to fall in love with him!! It is an opportunity for me! The universe has finally given me a chance!!"

Vera shouted out of gratification. Hushing down the boy.

"Don't tell me you are actually going to marry your ex's uncle" Aspen scowled.

Peering at the woman slowly smiling wickedly.

"Oh shit, no. No, Vera! Why would you marry Ezra Kingston?! He is cruel and perilous to keep as your husband! Not to mention the fact that he is your ex's uncle! If you require to get married that much, I will be your husband"

Aspen stated.

Preventing the woman from jumping into a field of wolves.

"Didn't you say you don't want to perform? I refuse you to be my husband! I know you are going to be my husband only if I offer three million dollars"

Vera responded. "Well, that's accurate though" the boy admitted.

"Asshole. All you know about is money" the woman glared at the boy as he shrugged with a tiny smile.

Vera rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Anyway, I don't think it is a bad idea to marry him. I will get to make Zane Kingston regret his decision. Also on the other side, I can spend money as much as I want if I become Ezra Kingston's wife"

Vera smirked. While Aspen shook his head in exhaustion.

"You are being insane just because you are drunk" He shrugged it off.

Believing the woman was spouting nonsense due to strong alcohol. He refocused on cleaning the glass. Letting the woman drown in ocean of thoughts.

But who would have thought she would actually do as her words?

Vera inhaled a deep breath.

Standing up from the seat elegantly. Straightening her tee as she fixed her hair.

And like that Vera collected every piece of her broken heart and walked straight up to her jerk ex boyfriend's uncle.

Aspen's eyes widened in shock when he realized the woman had left the place already. Surprising him wholly.

Vera stepped forward as she observed the man in black shirt and pants.

A few buttons were opened. Revealing his collarbone. His arms were resting on the chesterfield sofa's frame.

With cigarette between his fingers, he blew the smoke of his mouth. He was young enough to be someone's boyfriend. Not an uncle.

"Hello"

Vera's voice captured the man's attention who was chilling alone.

The sight of a woman in white tee and red wide leg jeans fell in front of his eyes.

Her hair was parted to the left side. It appeared she was drunk since he could see her legs wavering.

"What do you want?"

His low-pitched yet calm tone permeated into Vera's ears. Breaking through the loud music. Soothing her slowly.

"Marry me!"

Out of sudden, she proposed with a smile displayed on her face.

The man's expression did not even change at the situation.

While the two girls and Aspen held in their breaths at the sight of the woman having nerve to chat with Ezra Kingston courageously.

"Leave."

The only word escaped the man heartlessly. Lifting the cigarette near to his lips.

"I love money" Vera declared instantly.

Earning Ezra's attention again. He prevented his actions from smoking.

And observed her from head to toes. Not uttering any word.

"You are searching for a woman who won't fall in love with you, right? Then I am the best choice for you. I will be your wife and accomplish your orders. But you have to offer a price as well. Give and take is the best deal after all"

Vera stated.

Staring at him who was studying her.

"Little girl, go back to your house and sleep peacefully instead of spouting nonsense while being drunk"

Ezra finally responded. Refocusing on the cigarette again.

"Excuse me, I am not a little girl wagging my tail to find a boyfriend. I am twenty eight years old woman searching for money to spend"

Vera retorted, fearlessly looking back into the man's eyes.

"And I am thirty eight years old man which makes you little girl in my eyes"

Vera fell into silence as the smile faded. If Aspen ever heard this man's words, he definitely would be rolling on the floor and laughing out loud at her.

It felt like karma slapped her harshly since she had spoken to Aspen in that way before.

Treating him like a little boy just because of eight years age gap.

Vera cleared her throat and put on a smile back on her face again.

"Age doesn't matter in this world. So please accept my proposal, Mister Ezra Kingston" The woman pleaded.

"No."

Refusal from the man disappointed Vera a lot. Causing her to press tongue against the inside of cheek.

She took a step forward.

While Ezra observed her actions. His brows slowly pulled together in confusion as soon as the woman settled down beside him.

"I don't remember permitting you to sit with me" He stated with cold gaze.

"Oh really? But who cares?" Vera shrugged. Smirking alluringly at the man.

"Nope. Don't look at me like that. I do not have any intention to move until you accept me"

Vera retorted. Crossing her legs while staring into Ezra's eyes fearlessly.

"I can murder you right now, little girl. Aren't you afraid of death?"

His low-pitched tone sent shivers down to Vera's spine. Scaring her yet she found it attractive somehow.

"Nah, I am not. I am practicing on being your wife. So death is not a matter to bother"

With a sweet smile tugged at her lips, she replied.

Hushing down the man.

"If you don't have any thought of leaving, then excuse me" Ezra stood up after throwing the cigarette onto the table.

He at least politely spoke to her. Revealing he was a gentleman, not like how Zane Kingston described.

The man's actions surprised the woman.

Causing her hand to act on its own promptly. Her hand tugged his shirt sleeve firmly as she looked up with him.

The sudden clasp of the woman made Ezra prevent from walking away.

He gazed down at the woman who just stopped him courageously. Finding it a bit entertaining somehow.

"Release your grip from my sleeve" He warned, calmly.

While Vera shook her head in disapproval.

"Accept my proposal. It is not like I am confessing. I just want money. So marry me"

She pleaded, shamelessly.

Ezra's tongue pressed against the inside of cheek as Vera observed his every actions. He looked hot though.

She had to admit it. It's kinda disappointing for her to realize the fact that she dated this hot dilf's nephew instead.

Ezra's hand rose into the air.

While Aspen and two girls prayed for Vera. Thinking the man was going to murder Vera in next second.

But the reality was different.

Ezra grabbed the woman's chin. Lifting it up as he leaned in. Without uttering any word, he stared down into her teal blue eyes deeply with his cold gaze.

His hot breath brushed the woman's lips. Causing her lips to open apart slightly at the tension between them.

It felt hot. Extremely scorching for her to breathe in this situation.

"Listen, little girl"

"I don't need a child as my wife. I only require a mature woman who can take care of my works in someway. Not a kid who would whine everyday"

He declared, assertively. Taking his grip back from her chin as he shoved her grasp away from the shirt, harshly.

Not everyone noticed what happened though since they were drunk dancing.

Without looking back, Ezra just walked away with his tedious expression.

Leaving the woman in pool of admiration and desire. Chasing something until she got was a part of her toxic hobbies.

It appeared Ezra just increased her yearning even more than before.

"Damn it, he is kinda fine" the woman muttered.

"I  will be your wife for sure and step on that motherfucking dickhead with Gucci high heels!"

She vowed and encouraged herself. Eyelids dropping slowly in exhaustion.

"Vera!" Aspen shouted in shock at the sight. Running towards the woman who just passed out due to alcohol.

"Gosh, I hope you won't cry and complain tomorrow when you finally recognize what you have done!"

Aspen muttered in irritation. He lifted his friend from the chesterfield sofa.

Carrying her to outside of club. Aspen sent the woman back to her condo that night like usual.

Cleaning the mess she created.
