Chasing with Thorns (Villa Verde Series 2)

Lexus Eze Villa Verde never believed in love.
To him, marriage was nothing more than a transaction - a necessary sacrifice to claim the empire his father refused to hand over freely.

As the only heir of their family, Lexus had spent his entire life chasing control, wealth, and the approval of a father who only valued obedience. So when he was forced into an arranged marriage with Jasha Hernandez - the beautiful daughter of their business partner - he agreed without hesitation.

After all, the plan was simple.

Get married.
Secure the company.
Get divorced.

What Lexus never expected was that Jasha entered the marriage with the exact same intention.

Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.
Their relationship became a perfect business arrangement built on lies, distance, and silent agreements neither of them dared to break. No love. No attachment. No complications.

Until the divorce papers were finally signed.

Because the moment Jasha walked away... Lexus realized he had made the biggest mistake of his life.

Now, the man who once treated love like a weakness is left chasing the only woman who never begged him to stay.

But how do you win back someone you were never supposed to love in the first place?
