After finding out she had at most five years left to live, Shikera Anderson could only live life in a carefree and unhindered manner, in order to numb the fear and sadness in her heart. However, her heart shattered when she was forced waste a year stuck in an marriage contract with a masked man, in exchange for her father's life.  

"The main clause of the contract: Don't touch my daughter!"

Ethan DeLoach, the most wanted personality by all the press stations in the country, hated reporters with passion until one came into his life in form of a contract wife. He was able to keep her at bay until her despicable lips turned out to be the cure for his terrifying nightmares. 

As they experiment with their lips every night before sleeping, how long would it take them to succumb to the throngs of passion while throwing all caution to the wind?

Will Shikera be able to dissolve the hatred Ethan has for reporters, with her plain and carefree attitude? How will Ethan react when he finds out what the repercussion was for breaking the contract? And finally, would the love between them defy Shikera's short life span?

"Ethan, why the fuck did you not tell me I had hickeys on my neck?!" Shikera yelled. "I practically announced to the whole nation that I had a passionate night!"
"That's not my fault though. You could have lied they were birthmarks." 
"And when the marks fade, another lie?" she asked irritatingly.
He smirked mischievously at her words, before leaning over to whisper into her ear, "No worries, I will renew them every night."

The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife

"Shikera, I want to pursue Miss Leigh and I need your help. Will I get it?" Maxwell asked.

Shikera was dumbfounded by the question, as she had not expected it at all.

"Maxwell, you heard Cyprian earlier. She has a boyfriend already," she answered him, laughing off her shock. Maxwell might have thought Cyprian was just joking with saying she had a boyfriend, she thought.

But Maxwell proved her wrong with his reply.

"I know that. It shouldn't be any problem if I want to pursue her too, except she is dating your brother."

"She is not dating my brother but—"

"That's great then, you should help me too. As for her current boyfriend, he shouldn't have any fear as long as he treats her well and loves her, right?"

Shikera was clueless on how to convince Maxwell against this now. How would he go up against Ethan DeLoach's assistant without getting hurt in any way whatsoever?
