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, 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 wanted to stop Ethan from suppressing Alan with his intimidating gaze, but she stopped herself when she noticed the two weren't conversing like strangers. Even Ethan didn't look as offended as she thought he would at seeing her completely ignore him and talk to a strange man. As expected, he was a man not affected by jealousy. He was only trying to show his superiority... right?

But why were the two still talking like they had an idea who each other was? Shikera looked from one man to the other, and it dawned on her where they met each other. The hospital!

A frown formed on Shikera's face as she began to connect the dots. For Ethan not to be surprised at seeing Alan, it could only mean that he had expected to see him here on the island. And that in turn could only mean...

It suddenly occured to Shikera at that moment as she glanced up at Ethan,

"Was it Mignon who told you i was here?"
