CONTRACT MARRIAGE CHAPTER 1
In the bustling city of New York, Emily was on cloud nine. After years of hard work, she had finally landed her dream job at one of the most prestigious law firms in the city. As she sat at her new desk, surrounded by towering stacks of legal papers, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had made it.But her elation was short-lived when she received a call from her parents, who were on her case about settling down and getting married. "You're not getting any younger, Emily," her mother had said. "We want grandchildren, you know."Emily had always felt pressured by her parents to get married and start a family, but she wasn't interested in that kind of life. She was focused on her career and had always felt like marriage would be a distraction. But her parents didn't understand that. They wanted her to follow in their footsteps and become a successful lawyer and a devoted spouse and parent.As Emily was mulling over her parents' phone call, her boss

They went to doctor's appointments, talked to lawyers, and even took a birthing class.Emily was surprised at how well they got along. Ethan was funny and charming, and he made her feel special. They even went on a few dates, something that wasn't required in the contract but that Ethan insisted on.But just as Emily was starting to feel comfortable in her new life, things took a dark turn. One night, as she was walking home from the office, she noticed a car following her. She quickened her pace, but the car kept getting closer. Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind, and she felt a sharp pain in her neck.The next thing Emily knew, she was lying on the ground, dazed and confused. She tried to get up, but her body felt heavy, and her head was pounding. As she looked around, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place, a dark and dingy room with no windows."Welcome to your new home, Emily," a voice said from the shadows.Emily recognized the voice immediately. It was Ethan's. But
CONTRACT MARRIAGE CHAPTER 3
Emily glared at Ethan, her hands shaking with anger. She couldn't believe what he had done to her. She had trusted him, and he had betrayed her in the worst way possible."You promised to protect me," Emily said, her voice low and menacing. "But instead, you locked me up like an animal. Why did you do it, Ethan? Why did you put me through this?"Ethan looked at Emily, his eyes filled with sadness and regret. "I didn't have a choice, Emily," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I made a deal with someone, and they wanted you. They threatened to hurt me if I didn't give them what they wanted. I had to do it, Emily. I had to keep you safe."Emily scoffed. "Keep me safe? You call this safe? You've put my life in danger, Ethan. You've ruined everything."Ethan walked over to Emily and took her hand. "I know, Emily. I know I've made a terrible mistake, but I'm trying to make it right. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you, Emily. Please, you have to believe m

As they ran through the dark alleyways, Emily could hear the sound of their pursuers gaining on them. Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she could feel her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. She had never been so scared in her life."Quick, this way!" Jack shouted, grabbing Emily's hand and pulling her down a narrow alley.As they ran, Emily could see the glint of metal from the guns of their pursuers. She could hear their heavy footsteps pounding the pavement behind them, getting closer and closer.Just when Emily thought they were done for, Jack led them into a small, abandoned building. They ran up a flight of stairs and burst into a small room."Lock the door!" Jack shouted, pushing a rickety old table against the door.Emily looked around the room, her eyes darting back and forth in panic. There was no way out."What are we going to do?" Emily whispered, her voice trembling."We'll wait here until they give up," Ethan said, his voice surprisingly calm. "They won't be

Emily's heart raced as she watched Ethan fight off their captor. She had never seen him so angry before, and it was both frightening and exhilarating.Jack pulled Emily away from the scene, urging her to run. They had to get away before more people showed up.As they ran through the deserted streets, Emily couldn't shake the feeling that they were being followed. She kept looking over her shoulder, expecting to see their pursuers hot on their heels."Ethan, we can't keep running like this," Emily gasped, her lungs burning from the exertion. "We have to do something."Ethan looked at Emily, his eyes full of determination. "I know. We need to find a safe place to regroup."They turned a corner and saw a small convenience store up ahead. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing."Let's go in there," Ethan said, pointing to the store.Emily nodded, following Ethan into the store. As they looked around, they saw a man behind the counter, reading a magazine."Excuse me, sir," E

"Stay here," Ethan said to Emily. "What? No, I can't stay here, what happens to me? Where are you going?" A confused Emily had asked. "I have to go get Jack's murderer" Ethan replied and left with that. Then, the men in suits were approaching Emily, and this time she was all alone. "Oh shit, I am going to die too this time, I guess" Emily groaned. Suddenly, a stranger appeared from nowhere and began attacking them, he was in a black suit too. Emily watched in shock as the man took down his comrades. She could hardly believe what she was seeing. The man turned to her and beckoned her to follow him."Come on, we need to get out of here," he said, his voice urgent.Emily hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to trust him or not. But there was no time to waste. They had to move quickly if they wanted to escape.She took a deep breath and followed the man as he led her down a narrow alleyway. As they ran, Emily could hear the sound of footsteps behind them. She turned and saw the r
CONTRACT MARRIAGE CHAPTER 7
The boat reached its destination in the dead of the night. Lucas led Emily to a safe house where Jack was waiting for them. Jack had a plan, but he needed Emily and Ethan's help. Jack told them that he was closing in on the mastermind behind the attack on Ethan and the murder of Jack's father, but he needed them to go undercover.Emily and Ethan would have to pretend to be engaged in a fake marriage and infiltrate the organization that was responsible for the attack. Jack had a friend who was a lawyer who could help them create fake identities and documentation to back up their story."Are you kidding me?!" Emily exclaimed, "You want us to do what? You know that's illegal, right?""Emily, I know this is a huge risk, but we need to catch these guys. We need to bring them to justice. This is our best chance," Jack explained.Ethan was more than willing to do whatever it took to avenge his father's death. Emily hesitated but ultimately agreed to go along with the plan.Over the next few

A few days had passed since Emily and Ethan were rescued by Lucas. The group had moved to another safe house in a remote location, far away from their pursuers.Emily was sitting on the couch, staring into space when Ethan walked in with a grim expression on his face."Emily, we have a problem," Ethan said, his voice low."What is it?" Emily asked, already feeling a sense of foreboding."It seems like the CEO we caught was just a pawn. There's someone higher up the chain who's been pulling the strings. Someone who's not afraid to get their hands dirty," Ethan said.Emily felt her stomach drop. "So, what do we do now?""We need to find out who this person is and bring them to justice," Ethan said firmly.Lucas nodded in agreement. "I'm with you. Let's do this."But as they began to make their plans, they realized that they were running out of time.
