Two CEO's got in an arranged marriage for convenience. One is a strong willed woman who doesn't believe in love. The other is a cold-hearted man who was rejected by his unrequited love. Adira Hale and Chadwick McElroy appear to be perfect in front of many. They are rich, influential, leaders and good-looking. People said that there are the best couple, a match-made by heaven.But the truth is far from the imaginary perfect romance that one could think of. Adira only married Chadwick in order to get pregnant. All she desires is his body and not his affection. Meanwhile, Chadwick despises the idea of sharing the bed with his wife just because he's still in love with another woman. Is there a chance for the love to bloom between temptation and betrayals?

Chapter 1 Prologue

Chadwick McElroy. He is the CEO of the Wine&Vibe company. He has good looks; tall, tanned and handsome. He has a cold personality, like an ice prince. Above all, he is a successful businessman who owns countless buildings and cars. Chadwick is the perfect character for every male lead in the romance books.

I agree to that.

On the other side, there is me. My name is Adira Hale. I am the CEO of Crimson Meadow company. I have gorgeous face, sexy body, strong and sly personality, and people gave me the name as the leader of all times. I am more in the domineering side than being submissive. If I will be a character in a romance book, then I am not the female. Surely not. I can't take the villain character too because I know that I am not that bad at all. There's a b*tchy side of me, but not enough to call me evil.

Then, I can be an extra; someone who will laugh at the cheesy characters who promised for eternal love when the truth is there is no eternity because we all die in the end.

Anyway, this is the story of Chadwick and I who got married for business convenience. About the genre? I am not sure yet. Usually, when there is a man and woman, it should be romance. I think that is better than thriller, when we have to kill each other in the process.

I don't know the reason why Chadwick agreed on the arranged married between us. But in my case, I have clear reasons why I agreed on marrying the handsome CEO.

First, the marriage between us will help the two companies.

The Wine&Vibe and Crimson Meadow decided to start a project for a better cause. This is to cover the tax evasion scandal that was linked to both companies. Although the scandal isn't true, it made a huge impact to the sales and stocks. That is why, both of the chairman talked to each other and thought of a project to fix the image of the companies. To make it less suspicious, they wanted I and Chadwick to get married. And then, since we are married couple, starting a project with the two brands will look natural.

Second, I wanted to get pregnant and be a mother.

I am turning 32 this year. Surely, it will be hard for me to bear a child if I reached 35 and above. Being a mother is a long time-dream of mine. However, I won't reach that goal without a man. Because I became the CEO of my father's company at a young age, I was too busy to work, and I had no time to date. Besides, I just don't fall in love with any man out there. It is simple as that. I am not a lesbian, bisexual or asexual. It was too hard for me to fall in love and imagine myself saying 'I love you' to anyone. So, I gave up marrying someone I love and just wished to raise a cute child with me.

And third?

Actually, there is no third reason, nor fourth, fifth and sixth.

I don't expect much in this marriage anyway or dream of slowly falling in love with someone I don't get along well in the beginning.

Just like how others survived in this kind of relationship, it is all about living with a stranger inside the same house, eating, pooping, sleeping, having s*x together and raising a child who will soon inherit our money. That's the life of conglomerate rich people who married for business.

I have nothing against living with my handsome husband, eating with him, losing my v*rginity for him, and raising our child. However, I think Chadwick will be against of the two conditions of the married life.

Before our marriage, I researched about my husband's past life. It will be a problem if he's actually a psycho or he's doing dr*gs. Fortunately, his records are clean. Except for his love history. During my secret investigation, I found out that my husband was once rejected by his first love.

He met his first love during their high school days. He became friends with the woman and another man. Then, he fell in love... with the woman, of course. However, he was rejected by the woman because she loves the other friend.

Just retelling this story to myself made me a bit dizzy.

To make it short, it was a love triangle, and he is the loser.

The plot twist is that Chadwick is still in love with that woman until now, and they are still good friends. Because of that, there is no doubt why Chadwick left me alone when we were in honeymoon.

It is too obvious that there's no chance for me to achieve my dream to be a mom. However, I am Adira Hale.

Giving up is not in my vocabulary.

Just like what I've said before, I don't want to be the female lead of this crazy romance story. My role is to stand beside my husband while his eyes is with another woman. But I won't care.

If a husband does not give affection to his wife, the woman should not beg for his love. That is what I believe. Therefore, if my goal is to be pregnant, then the only thing is to force him to sleep with me.

What's wrong with that?

It is not a crime since we're married anyway.

No. I remembered that there is a legal offense for forcing your husband to have s*x.

So, instead of forcing him, I will use my beauty and sexy body to lure him.

Love is not what I need. It is his body that I want to achieve my dream.

This is the start of long plan to seduce my husband: The broken-hearted CEO with a messy love triangle in the past.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
