“I paid you! Why do you keep stalking me, then?” She burst out, while glancing at the door as if she was expecting someone to come in and save her. Not that she needed any saving though. I placed both hands on the table, and leaned down towards her. “We fucked.” My lips curled. Her face colored crimson. “It was a nightstand. Adults have one nightstands all the time. Moreover, I paid you-” “I’m not other people, Inez Raymond,” I said, cutting off her words. “Let’s make a deal.” Interest sparked within her eyes, yet she eyed me cautiously. “What deal?” “That you'll agree to be my wife for three months. If you don't fall in love with me during that period, I'll let you be.” She hesitated. “No sex?” I smirked. “I can't promise that. So, what do you say?” She took a deep breath. “Okay.” *** In her drunken and broken hearted haze, Inez Raymond has a one nightstand with a stranger. She pays him off the next morning, and part ways with him. But then, he starts stalking her. When he forces her into a deal with him, she agrees. What she doesn't know is that the stranger was connected with her in ways she could never imagine. Nor was she aware that she was the only heiress of the most powerful family in Europe, second only to the Celvins. While she's determined not to fall in love with him within three months, he's determined to make her fall in love with him, to find out who made her lose her memory years ago, while helping her get revenge on her ex-husband. Who will emerge champion, in their little game of chess?
View MoreChapter Three InezMy hands roamed over the sheets before my eyes were fully opened. Coarse. Manly scent. And so definitely not my bed.I jerked up, my eyes scanning around the large bedroom before thoughts of the previous night crashed in. Business party. Got heartbroken. Slept with a stranger.Stranger…My hands trembled as I moved the duvet from my nude body, and stumbled off the bed. Sounds of water splashing from the nearby bathroom made me halt in my steps, and make a quick decision. I wasted no time in getting into my discarded dress that was tossed on the ground, while trying hard not to think of what happened last night. Gosh. I fucked up so bad. My cheeks colored crimson as memories of my bold approach that was totally un-Inez filled my mind. I didn't bother to look at my reflection in the mirror as I pulled out some dollar bills from my purse. I muttered a quick prayer to the god that made me decide to start moving around with some cash in case of
Chapter Two. TeesanI wasn’t usually spontaneous. I hated making sudden decisions. But seeing her again made my rationality and usual calmness vanish. She was just as I’d imagined she’d grow up to be. Except she was more beautiful than all my imaginations put together.At the moment, her lips were slightly parted in shock. She turned her head abruptly, letting her eyes focus ahead.“That is too much to ask from me.” She finally whispered.I knew it too. But I was going to have her. She was mine, even if she remembered nothing from the past. I wondered what her current name was.“You gave me your word.” I argued calmly.She swallowed. “Yes, but-” “No buts, Daffodil. You’re divorced, anyway. You have nothing to lose.” It was a sore spot to pick on, but the words were already out.As expected, her eyes flashed with anger. “And what’s the time limit?” She asked in a small voice.“Two years. Be my wife for two years, and I’ll let you go.” I promised.She remained
Chapter One. InezI'd never wanted to strangle someone so much as I did at that moment. I lowered my gaze and knelt to arrange the papers that'd been pushed out of my hand.“Bitch, are you blind?” Evane snapped, smacking the side of my cheek. My skin smarted from the impact and I longed to scratch at her face.“I-I’m sorry-” I muttered, without making eye contact.“Look at me while I'm talking to you.” She ordered, raising her voice a notch higher. A little crowd of our colleagues were now forming but none of them tried to help me. I could even hear sneers and snorts from the side. “I’d rather not, Evane.” I whispered. I finished arranging the papers and pushed off the floor. Standing in her heels, Evane was taller than me.“You dare call me by my name?” She rasped, her eyes narrowing.Flustered, I tried to apologize but the words died on my lips as she grabbed a fistful of my hair. Tears pooled in my eyes but I forced them back. I'd rather be dead than give her
