CINDERELLA'S FORCED MARRIAGE WITH SEXY BILLIONAIRE
Emma's life was not different than Cinderella's, she was punished by her stepmother and sister. And only a prince charming could change her life.
For five years, Emma lived in Charlotte Millerās shadowāforced to play her double, smile for her photos, write her speeches, and disappear the moment the spotlight hit. She was paid to be silent, obedient, and forgettable.
Until the night everything shattered.
Her heart. Her pride. And her place as Charlotteās puppet.
They forced her into a marriage with Xeros Martinezāa dangerous billionaire heir of the Martinez empire and a man who makes danger feel like desire.
She was a substitute bride for him, and the only thing she expected from him was coldness and rejection.
But what she didn't expect was his intervention when Charlotte's mother was about to whip her.
"How dare you touch my vanilla?" He growled like thunder. "Try it againāand I'll remind you why people fear my name."
Their marriage may have begun as a business arrangement, but the heat between them refuses to be ignored.
Because later, when she tried to avoid the heat burning between them, he dropped his towel with a smirk, āScrub my body, wife.ā
She hesitated.
āW-Will Iā¦?ā
He stepped closer, water dripping down his chiseled chest.
āIsnāt that what a wife does?ā
And when her fingers brushed against his skin, he leaned in, voice low and wicked:
āTell me⦠do you think Iām sexy?ā
She mumbled a breathless yes.
āWhat was that?ā he asked, teasing.
She shook her head, flustered.
So he grabbed her waist and smashed his lips onto hers, stealing the truth straight from her mouth.
