He placed the wine glass on the table and shifted his gaze to me, "It's a deal." His face broke into a small smile as he stretched his hand out to me.

Hesitantly, I shook his. "I hope this goes as intended," I sighed.  

"Surely," he said, drawing his hand away from mine. "As long as you keep your head in the game and don't grow feelings for me, Ms Pearl." He sneered. 

"Oh please," I rolled my eyes at him. "I should be the one saying that," I scoffed. 

The smirk he had on his face, faded into a light frown. "Just to get it out there, Ms Pearl. You are not my type." He said as his gaze bored into mine. 


                          ~~~~~~~

For Pearl, the last thing she could ever imagine was faking a relationship with no other, but Billionaire Onyekachi Phillips, a man who came from wealth but broken. But then, there was no better option, all she wanted to do was drive her ex away, the same ex who ghosted her three years ago. Putting up with Kachi's arrogant personality was one thing, but falling in love with him was something she wasn't prepared for and that, she was determined not to let happen. 


Wealthy Onyekachi Phillips was a man with everything, anyone could wish for. Abundant wealth, good looks, a girlfriend that he loved and a daughter he cherished, but not until his girlfriend shattered his heart and love became poison to him. It was two years later and yet women, love and marriage were still the last thing on his mind but unfortunately for him, they were the only thing his mother wanted for him. Trying to escape one of his mother's attempts to find him a wife, he lied about a non-existent relationship, but not until she requested to meet his new girlfriend. 

He was so sure that he was never going to love any woman again until he wasn't sure anymore.
