WARNING: CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT INSIDE | EROTIC-ROMANCE | R-18 Cassidy Altaroel- a recluse. The woman rumored to have murdered three men who almost sexually assaulted her cousin. Dahil sa chismis na 'yon ay walang nagtangkang bumisita o sumilip sa bahay at malawak na lupain ng dalaga sa Isla Anubis maliban na lamang sa pinsan nitong babae. Falco Ventura never knew of those rumors before he met her. But to his surprise, Cassidy looked phenomenal. Artists were inspired by her beauty. Men drooled and marveled at her every move. Women envied everything about her. Not to mention that she's kind of sweet when it comes to Falco's brother, Grim. She's a delight, indeed. Intriguing to be exact. He's almost convinced that she's not what the rumors talked about. Almost. Because she's a greedy, goal-oriented vixen... and it bothered the hell out of him. She wanted a child who'll inherit her beauty and his intellect. Of course, she'll need his sperm for that. In exchange, Cassidy offered to warm his bed with her ethereal body that seemed to have manifested perfection itself. Falco, on the other hand, will never agree to her wishes. He wanted to have an heir, yes, but it will never be out of wedlock. Plus, the fact that she is rumored as a murderer makes the deal a "red flag". But, can he resist if Cassidy offers him fifty million dollars in exchange for his hand in marriage? No. Abso-fucking-lutely no. Fuck resistance. Fuck red flags. ____________ A/N: This is a TagLish novel Crimsyn Lorraine @missbellavanilla All rights reserved 2022
