My contract husband was meant for me

My head hurts. I thought as I forced my eyes open. Everything was blurry at first, but my vision eventually cleared out. It looked like I was at the hospital.“ How are you feeling?” I jumped at the voice that came out of nowhere. A lady was staring at me intensely, trying to watch my every move. She must be a nurse, based on her white nursing uniform.She helped me sit up and explained to me that I was in an accident last night. And I was brought to the hospital by a man. Soon after, she left to get the doctor to check on me. I saw my phone on the side table beside my bed and took it to check my reflection. My head was covered in plaster, that explains the stinging pain I was feeling.I turn on my phone, only to be bombarded with angry messages from Mom and Dad about how Mark is suing us. Events of yesterday came flooding in. I instantly rushed to get up from the bed, when I saw the nurse returned with a handsome Doctor. He had a mop of Carmel coloured hair and chocolate eyes. He w

Sunlight poured into my eyes. Morning already? I stretched out my body and froze. This isn't my bedroom. I looked around the room to see my clothes and what looks to be… men's clothes mixed together. Last night events came rushing in. I wasn't with Ryan last night, then who was it?Pulling up the blanket and saw my underwear was still intact. I let out a huge sigh of relief. Sounds of running water came from the bathroom, meaning that the man for last night is still here. “ Shit, shit, shit. This is bad”. Standing up from the bed as quietly as possible, I picked my clothes from the floor and quickly put them on.Sneaking my way to the door I hit the table and fell his watch to the ground. Instantly picking it up. But the table made a lot of noise and the water ceased flowing in the bathroom. I bolt out of the room before the man can come out.I left the hotel feeling stupid. I looked at my hands and saw the strangers watch. A very expensive looking one at that. I must have taken i

Of course I didn't get a reply due to the large capacity of people in the room. So many thoughts ran through my head. Was the house bought? That couldn't be possible. The furniture bears the same resemblance to the ones before so that's out of the question Or did the loan shark take the house too and decided to have a party? I could spot some of my parent’s snobby friends in the crowd, which meant this party was organized by someone in our social circle, not a loan shark. I walked further into the once empty hall now packed with people, searching for my parents. Even one of our staff would be nice. Laughter rang out from behind me. One I know all too well. Feeling my muscle tense from the muscle memory. I shook it off and I came to the conclusion that there's nothing to be worried about. Turning around to see Mom talking with a group of women gathered around her. As always, she was at the center of the conversation. In a floor length mermaid dress, her hair curled t

Warm lips brushed my cheeks. I froze.He positioned his head perfectly to block the registrar’s view. From where he stood, he probably thought we were kissing.I tried pulling away, but his hands settled on my back, holding me in place.‘’Stay still,’’ he whispered.Suddenly, the quick breakfast I had didn’t sit well. He withdrew his face, putting a gap between us. He looked down at me, his eyes searching my face.‘’Are you alright?’’‘’I’m fine.’’ ‘’Just a stomach ache.’’ Giving him an awkward smile. He frowned, nodding his head in agreement. I convinced myself that the churning in my stomach is my breakfast. I just took whatever was left over in the fridge I could find. It may have gone bad. It did have a funky taste to it.I signed the papers wordlessly, finally declaring us legally married. The registrar left the room, shaking both hands, Mr. Kingston signaled Henry, an he dropped some papers in front of me.‘’What is this?’’ I looked at the documents in confusion.‘’Our contract.

It was half past nine by the time I was finished with all the work I had piled up. Even then, I wasn't still done, largely because of the amount of work I had to cover since both Julia and Ryan are unavailable.I knew Julia needed the rest, she'd been sick lately. But Ryan leaving without so much as a notice? Now I had to cover his workload so Dad wouldn't find out he'd slacked off and fired him. I might have broken his heart in cold blood, but I couldn't be an asshole and be the reason he lost his job, too. He had suffered enough.Letting out a sigh, I gathered my things,deciding to finish the rest of the work at home.I was pulling the door of the house close, when Ruth the headmaid came to stand in front of me. “ Your parents are asking for you in the dining room”. Before I could ask her any questions, she started walking away.I walked towards the dining room, pausing in front of the door. We haven't spoken since the night of the party. I don't know if they are still upset.I
