5. The Contract Agreement

"W-what do you mean?" Alice was surprised by Victor's answer. "You want my body? You mean you want to have sex with me?"

Alice's eyes had started to glaze over. She had known from the start that something was wrong with this interview. Alice felt very stupid because she could just believe the incoming email.

The girl stood up. Her price has fallen. She didn't want to be a slave to men anymore. She had enough pain because Francis had an affair. And now she had to surrender her body to this man?

"No, Sir. I'm not going to be a whore!" shrieked Alice. "You are wrong if you consider me a woman who can be paid. I will not agree! Excuse me!"

The girl stepped to leave this place. However, Victor was suddenly standing in front of her. Even though Alice was sure that the man was still sitting on her plush sofa.

"How could you?" shrieked Alice hysterically.

"If you dodge, I'll make an account of the damage you did two weeks ago while you were drunk," said Victor.

Alice glared. She didn't feel like he had done anything wrong. "What do you mean? I didn't do any damage!" denied Alice.

Victor smiled. Even though Victor was very handsome to Alice, this man was horrifying.

"Did you forget that you were drunk and didn't pay for the drinks you ordered? You drank a few bottles and were forcibly ejected by the security guards at the club. Who do you think paid for all the mess?" said Victor.

Alice fell silent. She had completely forgotten about it. That night Alice was frustrated and didn't know what to do but went to a nightclub to cheer herself up. She forgot the drink bill he had not paid.

"I'll replace it!" said Alice curtly.

Again Victor smiled. "And also the club table you kicked at?" said Victor. "It's about $1000 in total. You can transfer it to my bank account," said Victor.

"A thousand dollars?" Alice trembled at the nominal. Never mind 1000$. She doesn't have a hundred dollars. She now had only fifty dollars left. If it was used to eat, Alice would have no money.

"When are you going to transfer it?" asked Victor.

Alice had no other choice. She must agree to Victor's offer if he wants to get out of debt bondage.

"So, what job do you offer me?" asked Alice, finally giving in.

Victor smiled. He grabbed Alice's waist and led her to sit back down. The girl just obeyed resignedly. There was nothing he could do now. Money managed to buy her pride.

Victor sat down beside Alice. The man closed his eyes. His demeanor is cold, just like his body. Alice also wondered why her body temperature was always cold. Does this man have a strange disease?

"You will stay in this house for the duration of the contract. Your residence is on the second floor. Everything will be prepared by my maid. You just have to stay here wearing nice and sexy clothes when I'm home," said Victor.

"Hah?" Alice couldn't believe Victor's ridiculous request. "What kind of work is that?" she asked.

"We are getting married. You will be my temporary wife. I will give you 5000$ every month for the duration of the contract. And your house…." Victor sighed. "I'll make it up to you. After the contract period is over, you can get it back."

Alice was speechless after hearing Victor's offer. Two weeks ago, this man was in the room and was about to harass her. Now he is offering vast amounts of money for a contract marriage. What kind of dream is this? Alice was going to marry a rich man, but Alice didn't even know who he was.

"Are we going to the same room?" she asked. "I mean if we get married."

"No. I don't sleep with anyone. I told you your room is on the second floor. You can't leave the room after ten o'clock at night. And as long as you're my wife, you can't leave this house except with me. You'll be mine only for the duration of the contract," said Victor.

Alice blinked her eyes. A strange rule. But it's not heavy. Alice could do it if she didn't have sex with Victor.

"Okay, I accept," Alice replied.

****

Alice and Victor's wedding party is held in a luxurious mansion on a closed island. Alice smiled at the guests she didn't know at all. They are Victor's colleagues and some of the critical staff in Victor's company.

"Congratulations, Mr. Victor. Your wife is wonderful. I thought you would be single for the rest of your life. It turns out that your wife is wonderful," said a man wearing a gray suit. The man smiled at Victor very kindly.

"Thank you. I haven't known my wife for long. I fell in love with her at first sight," said Victor.

Alice smiled inwardly. Victor's words were a big lie. The man is a robot. He

 doesn't know what love is. Their relationship is only a contract agreement.

A woman came in stunning and sexy clothes. The woman wearing a pink dress approached Victor and hugged him.

"My Brother. I didn't expect you to actually do it," the woman said.

"Livia, don't." Victor seemed to be warning the woman.

Alice remembered that it was the woman who did the interview at the Victoria Company.

"You?" Alice tried to guess.

Livia smiled. She hugged Alice very kindly. Alice was surprised. This woman had the same cold body temperature as Victor.

"Congratulations. You are our savior," the woman said. She removed her arms from Alice and looked at the girl. "I'm Livia George. I'm Victor's sister. Don't worry, I don't live in Victor's ancient house. I like the modern world. You can enjoy your honeymoon without anyone's interference," said Livia.

Alice smiled. Honeymoon? That's impossible. Alice and Victor won't sleep in the same room. They won't do anything. And Alice will keep her honor until her contract ends.

Several guests were enjoying the party. Victor hugged Alice's waist and whispered something in the girl's ear.

"Tonight is our first night. You and I have to sleep in the same room," whispered Victor.

Alice widened her eyes. It's not in agreement. She turned to Victor. And the man smiled gently at Alice.

"Honey, let's go to the room. We are newlyweds," said Victor.

The guests were so excited to hear Victor's words. They guessed that Victor couldn't help but want to spend his first night with Alice.

"Victor?" said Alice with astonished eyes filled with protest demands.

"Alice," said Victor, who asked Alice to do her responsibilities.
