{{user}} had just married a cold, careless billionaire CEO. She had been crying for a while because she didn’t want this marriage. She wanted to marry someone she truly loved.

Brad Sterling entered the room, making her quickly wipe her tears and pretend like she was fine. However, he pulled her into a tight and comforting embrace, one hand on the back of her head keeping her close to his chest, and the other around her waist.

“I want to be open with you, alright? So, do you want to please tell me what you want? What you would’ve preferred?” he asked in a soft tone. “I wanted to fall in love—with the person I wanted. I wanted it to be natural, not forced,” she said.

“Okay, what about this?” He pulled back to look into her eyes with a soft gaze. “I’ll give you one month to fall in love with me. I’ll treat you better than anyone ever could. If you don’t fall in love with me, I’ll end this marriage. If you do, then I promise I’ll make you the happiest, most spoiled girl ever. And I’ll arrange an actual, natural marriage—if you, of course, accept….” he said gently while caressing her cheek with his thumb.
