She smiled and answered the call."Hey, Emi," she said, "What's up?""I just wanted to remind you of our last conversation," Emily replied.Sarah sighed. She knew exactly what her friend was talking about. "I know, I know," Sarah said, "And I appreciate your concern. But I've made my decision.""And?" Emily prompted.Sarah took a deep breath. "I'm going through with it. I'm going to marry him."Emily gasped. "What? Are you crazy?"Sarah laughed. "Maybe a little. But hear me out. This is a great opportunity for me. I'll have access to all sorts of information that I wouldn't have otherwise. And besides, the marriage is mostly going to be signing papers. I won't even have to see him that much."Emily sighed. "I don't like it, Sarah. I don't trust this guy.""I know, but it's my decision," Sarah said firmly. "And besides, it's happening in two days. There's

    Later that day, Sarah felt a knot in her stomach as she made her way to the news organization's office. She was nervous about the upcoming conversation with her boss, Mr. Stevens. She didn't know how to explain that the person she had been assigned to write a profile on, who was known for his reluctance to speak to the press, was the same person she was getting married to.Sarah knew that her relationship with Daniel was going to be an issue, and she wanted to be upfront with her boss about it.

They knew about her assignment but none of them knew about the current turnout of events and she was grateful for that.Her boss, Mr. Stevens, was a stern, no-nonsense man with a reputation for being tough on his reporters. Sarah had always respected him, but she was afraid of ho

    After much deliberation the previous night, Sarah made her decision. She would agree to the contract marriage with Daniel, but on her own terms. She would set strict boundaries and make sure that she was not compromised in any way. She would be in control. Sarah woke up early the next morning, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. Today was the day she was going to meet with Daniel, the arrogant jerk who had proposed a contract marriage to her in exchange for his information. She dressed in a professional outfit, making sure to look her best for the meeting. As she arrived at the towering skyscraper that housed Daniel's office, she felt a knot form in her stomach. Taking a deep breath, she approached the receptionist and announced her name, after which she headed to the elevator that led to his office. As she got out of the elevator she was greeted by Mrs. Stakes who informed her that her boss was waiting for her in his office. Sarah walked into Daniel the Billionaire's offi

    Sarah exited Daniel's office, her head spinning with the weight of the proposal he had just offered her. A contract marriage, a deal with the devil himself. She had always known that her job as an investigative journalist would take her down some dark paths, but this was different. This was personal. As she stepped out into the warm afternoon sun, she took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind. She knew that she had to give Daniel an answer within the next 24 hours, but she also knew that she couldn't just jump into this blindly. She needed time to think, to weigh the pros and cons of such an arrangement. As she walked down the bustling New York City street, Sarah couldn't help but think about the potential implications of this deal.
