Mag-log in“I've never loved you. You were just a warm body I used to pass time. Lilith is the one I love!” Those are the words my ex spat at my face on the day I proposed to him after dating for 6 years. Instead of the loving surprise I planned, I catch him cheating on me instead. He throws me out of his apartment with a sneer. Unable to take it anymore, I get drunk and find myself in the bed of another man. Deimos Escarrá, my ex's uncle. A billionaire CEO who proposes a contract marriage and more money than I could ever need. After all the things I went through, I won't let them get away so easily. It's my turn to come out on top and show the Escarrás that I won't be pushed around. If it's a wife he wants, then I'll be The Billionaire's Naughty Christmas Bride.
view moreDeimos' POV The ceremony ended faster than it should have. Partly because I'd pulled the priest aside and told him to toss all his lectures out the window. Mostly because Anesha's dress had gagged the man so badly, I thought he'd have stroke before we could say “I do”. When I looked into the audience, everyone had a similar reaction to the priest. If I wasn't so anxious, I'd have laughed. And I shouldn't have been anxious. But she'd just survived a kidnapping and I– the realization came with a rush in my chest– am beginning to feel even more strongly for her. Much that a part of me wished this wasn't just a contract. That we weren't just playing pretend. She would have been a beautiful bride in white but the black dress had snatched the air out of my lungs much like every other thing she did. I can't help that I'm looking forward to the rest of the year– and dreading it at the same time. The snow storm passed without any other hitch as did the ceremony. The guests were none the wi
Anesha's POV Warmth welcomes me back to the land of the living as I groan in what seems to be a bed. Layers of blankets have been placed over my body, nearly pressing me into the bed. Underneath them, sweating buckets, almost immobilized. I manage a groan, shifting away the weight on top of me. Before I can open my eyes, I feel a rush on cool air on my skin. A frantic voice calling my name. Warm hands take mine in them, rubbing anxiously on the back of my hand. “Anesha... Little lamb, are you awake?” My heart floods with emotion and I don't stop the tears that come rushing down my face. “D–Deimos...” He holds me even tighter, voice breaking with emotion as kisses rain on my skin. “Yes, it's me. I'm here.” Sobs shake me as I think about the moments we spent apart. The man who was going to kill me. Dimitri and his cruelty. That final act. I've done the unthinkable now and he was a witness. My heart breaks as I realize that. “Deimos, I– I–”“Rest.” he urges me, placing a single bl
Dimitri's POV Snow... Little white fluffs that can bury you alive while you embrace their comfort and softeness. They hide behind an appearance of good will and beauty. Then seamlessly cover up their tracks before your very eyes. Much like the Escarrás. Every lot of them having a dark secret hidden behind practiced smiles and a regal appearance. And now, someone was going to add murder to their list of offences. How quaint. I follow the fresh trail of blood leading deeper into the forest. The first guy had been useless. A minion who refused to open his mouth. Killing him was only fair. There was no place for fools in this world. By now, Deimos must have found the body and his beloved fiance's empty room. Smart as he is, he'd probably already be on his way right now, Perseus on his heel. The two have always been inseparable. I hear a scream. Weak and shrill. My blood goes cold at the thought that he'd hurt her again. My feet spurring forward. She'd looked terrified last night. S
Deimos' POV Perseus tries to steady Amy as she takes breath after breath. I can clearly hear the commotion in the hallway. “Amy, what's wrong?” I zero in on the last person I thought I'd see before the ceremony. Anesha's maid of honor starts rapping words at me that I can't catch. My heart starts racing. Eyes darting to the corridor as my entire system tightens like a bow. “I don't understand. What's going on?” “It's Anesha.” Perseus says, finally. His eyes landing on my father and then me. I watch as he pulls out a crumbled piece of paper. My heart sinks before he says the words I've been dreading. No, it can't be. I snatch the paper out of his hands. It's a note in someone's sprawled handwriting. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. A confused scoff lets out from my mouth as I wag the paper between Perseus and Amy. “What is this? And where's my fiancee?” “She's gone.” “Explain what that means right now or I swear to God, Perseus–” He puts his hands up at the anger in my voic
