Iñigo Petrakis's POV

This woman must be insane. Undoubtedly and completely beautiful but insane. I will not marry ever again even if it will be the last thing I will ever do in this Earth.

I stared at the outrageous woman standing before me who was wearing nothing but only my bathrobe. Her hips cocked to the side, her hands crossed over her bountiful breasts, and her chin tilted upwards in a challenging manner. But what striked me the most was her eyes that held fire in their depths. It was a look of a woman who had grappled, defended and took on the business industry with might and flexibility. But most of all, it was a look of a driven woman who cannot be swayed. I would have admired her tenacity and boldness if only we were discussing business but we were discussing about marriage. Our marriage! I refuse to be bounded again!

Gritting my teeth, I shook my head and leveled her with a gaze, "No."

Her beautiful forehead scrunched up with a frown. "I don't think I made myself clear. I wasn't giving you an option. Marriage shall clear out our name and save your company from further scandal."

She walked towards me, her hips swaying and her breasts tempting me to run my hands on her. Her very movements caused an ache in my groin and this was all unbeknowst to her.

For the first time I was jealous of my own robe for it get to hugged the very curves of her body. I want to have a taste of her again.

Who would have thoughts that the 15-year old Ava Marquez would grow up to be such an enchanting creature? Eyes as emerald as the spring leaves and hair as lush and black as the sky, she was a goddess ready to take and pine a man's heart. And her lips, god what I would do again with her lips.

Shaking my thoughts from my head, I focused my gaze towards the top of her head. I need to stay focused.

"Iñigo, I know you may think that this isn't the best option for you, but it is." She emphasized "You'll not only save your name but gain a powerful ally."

"How can I be sure that this isn't only a plan you plotted against me to imprison me." I bitted out but immediately cursed myself at the flash of hurt and anger at the very depths of her eyes.

"How dare you accuse me of such a thing!" She whirled out jabbing her finger on my chest "I am a victim as you are! My company and my honor is in peril too."

Breathing out a frustrated breath, she closed her eyes and whirled herself to calm down. Opening her, she stared at me right in the idea and whispered in a small breath "Last night, I only wanted to help you by making a proposition because apparently you've been avoiding help from women which I believe is insane. It wasn't on my plan to dance like some stripper, have mindblowing sex, and be on the front news! So, if you want to save our company and our name, marriage is the best option!"

She was panting, her chest rising up and down, after her long speech. Her eyes were now spitting fire and I was damned to say that I wanted nothing more than to bend her sexy ass in the air and bury myself deep in her, because an angry and furious Ava Marquez was damn hot.

"Mindblowing sex?" The corners of my mouth tilted upwards.

"Unbelievable! That's the only thing you got from everything I've said?" She gasped in horror, her eyes spitting fire as she paced inside my room.

I got what she meant but with wearing close to nothing was distracting me. Rubbing my hand on my jaw, I crossed my arms and studied her.

Her reasoning was correct. Even if we tell the public that the photo was false, it will easily be rebutted since the picture was clear. It will only add scandal to our company that the very persons leading two companies were acting in an appropriate manner. But if we did announce to the public of our marriage, it shall gain a positive feedback for A&A Company is a leading company in the country and I shall gain a powerful ally. But there must be another way. Marriage is not option. Every excuse I could think of was not enough.
