LOGINFor five years, Jessie Moore suppressed her personality, wore clothes she hated, and hid her staggering wealth. She did it all for one reason: to prove to her mother that true love could exist without a billion-dollar price tag. But on the day they were supposed to register their marriage, her boyfriend, Allen Walker, didn't show up. When Jessie went to find him, she didn't find an apology. She found a celebration. Allen was toasted by his friends for finally escaping "the fat girl" to get engaged to a "proper" socialite. “Take this million-dollar cheque and get out of my sight," Allen sneered, tossing the paper at her feet. Jessie didn't cry. She threw wine in his face, tore the cheque to pieces, and walked out—straight into the arms of the city’s most powerful, icy, and untouchable man: Stephen Harrington. Stephen is her best friend’s brother and a CEO who has never spared a second glance for any woman. He needs a wife to stop his family’s meddling; Jessie needs a husband to satisfy her mother’s inheritance demands. It was supposed to be a cold business deal. No feelings. No mess. But as Jessie returns to the Moore Empire to reclaim her throne, she realises the "Icy CEO" is anything but cold behind closed doors. And when Allen discovers the "penniless" girl he dumped is the very heiress he’s desperate to sign a contract with, he comes crawling back on his knees. He’s too late. “You had your chance, Allen.” Jessie smiles, leaning into Stephen's possessive embrace. “Now, I’m the one calling the shots.” Now Jessie is reclaiming everything that belonged to her…including the heart of the icy CEO.

THANK YOU FOR READING. ENJOY!STEPHEN A continuous ticking feeling in my head, the way my eyes hurt when I tried to open them and the dryness of my throat. I woke up fully tucked in bed, and the last thing I remembered was sipping on a bottle of scotch. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. The events of last night came rushing back in. I left the bar and ended up somehow at Jessie’s door. I remembered her holding me, and me leaning in. “Do I make you uncomfortable?” The question slipped out of my mouth, and I gasped in mortification. I never got drunk, always controlled, always managed, but the thought of Jessie alone had driven me to drink and exposed me before her. “Ugh!” I ran my hand through my hair and then my face. “I had to fix this, and I had to fix this fast." Luckily, nothing could
JESSIE EARLIER THAT MORNING. The White Scandal is on every screen in the office. Even though it's obvious I am the victim of the scam Tiffany and her minions weren't ready to let it be that way. "Look what the cat dragged in" Tiffany sneered as I lowered myself into the chair. "It smells so much like trash in here" Sarah continued. I rolled my eyes and set my bag in front of me. I wasn't going to allow their words get to me. This was never my fault. It was all on Angela and Wade. "She's so fat that even her adoptive parents didn't want her" 'Ignore them Jessie, just ignore them' I changed over and over in my head. It didn't make sense for them to bully me but with people like them common sense was non existent. "Why would innocent people burden themselves with a pig?" Grace sneered. "The only use she had found for herself is to be bought and sold" Tiffany continued. "People like this shouldn't work here. It is making everyone else uncomfortable and it

STEPHEN“I don’t think we should do this,” Jessie said with her head hung low as she fiddled with her fingers. Her sagging shoulder made my heart ache. I didn't get married to her to put her in this situation. This was strategic, a contract marriage to keep our families out. That was the reason I married her, that and the fact I couldn't shake her off my mind, no matter what I tried. I raised my hand to her shoulder, a cold feeling running from my palm to the rest of my body. She raised her head, and my insides flipped in silent response. “You be the good guy, Jessie,” I murmured gently. “I will be the bad guy and take care of this all.” She opened her mouth, and from the way her lips parted and her eyes fired up, I could tell she was ready to turn my offer down. “The order has already gone out,” I said. She tilted her head slightly and blinked. “This is just to teach the Whites never to mess with my people.” She lets out a deep breath and nods. “I guess I’ll trust you.”Those w
