Contract Marriage

Age Gap

I was sold for only five hundred thousand dollars. In a single night, I lost my home, my freedom and the man I thought I loved. I never imagined the stepmother who raised me would betray me so cruelly—or that my life would be handed over to the coldest, most dangerous man in New York. Damien Hawthorne. Former special forces commander. Billionaire. A man carved from scars and darkness. His presence alone terrifies people. His heart is colder than ice. Broken. Damaged. Cruel to the world around him… and seemingly to me most of all. A contract marriage. An unbreakable agreement. One shared bedroom. And rules that cannot be broken. Every day, I endure his suffocating coldness. Every night, I catch glimpses of the scars he hides… and the pain he refuses to confess. I hated him. Resented him. Tried to escape him. But no matter how hard I fought it, my heart began betraying me for the man I was forced to marry. What I never expected… was for him to start feeling the same way. Slowly. Reluctantly. Dangerously. So can a marriage built on a transaction turn into the deepest kind of love? Or will falling for the beast become the greatest mistake of my life?

Five Hundred Thousand Dollars?
Aria Ashford“Five hundred thousand dollars.”My grip loosened around the doorknob.I stood behind my stepmother’s bedroom door, forcing myself to breathe while her voice dropped lower through the phone: “Tell them I found the perfect girl.”Girl? What girl? And why did Victoria’s voice sound so calm?---Several hours earlier...“Aria... we are on a date, and you are reading a book?”Marcus looked up from where he was stretched across my lap and laughed.Small smile slipped onto my lips. Even so, I did not lift my eyes from the page. “I am enjoying myself.”Marcus sighed with exaggerated despair, then in one second snatched the book from my hands.I pulled the book back a little too sharply while trying to take it from him.“Marcus, give the book back.”“No.”“Marcus.”He moved closer before whispering near my ear: “I hate anything that steals your attention away from me.”I tried not to smile. I sighed in surrender and shook my head in agreement.He smiled, then leaned down to place

To Your Husband's House
Aria Ashford"Wait... are you okay? Why are you running like this?"A small boy crashed into me and clung to my coat like someone was chasing him. His chest rose and fell so fast he could barely breathe. A luxury watch gleamed in his small fist.I crouched in front of him, held his small shoulders, and brushed the hair from his face.He opened his mouth trying to speak, but before he could say anything, a group of men appeared, rushing toward us with quick, sharp steps. I went still.The watch was not his... and they were chasing him to get it back.Fear washed across the boy's pale face while the men came closer. Their hard stares turned my stomach. I pulled him behind me before I could think twice and whispered: "Why did you steal it?"His voice shook. "I... am sorry."They circled us. One of them stepped forward, clearly in charge, and said: "Step aside, miss. This little thief stole our boss's watch."Your boss? He spoke about the child as if he were a dangerous criminal, not a st

Where Will We Run?
Aria Ashford“I am not married!”Victoria’s words hit me all at once.Every bit of sleep vanished instantly, and for a second, I just stared at her.No! She had to be joking.“If this is one of your stupid jokes, please stop... I am tired, Victoria. I cannot deal with this now.” My voice shook as I stared at her, trying to process what she meant.But Victoria did not laugh. She did not even blink. A strange smile stayed on her face as she folded her arms over her chest, like things had finally gone her way.“I am not joking.”My stomach sank. I kept staring at her for long seconds, struggling to breathe properly, before she said calmly, “You signed a marriage contract yesterday... and your new husband’s men will arrive soon to take you.”What...? I could not process what she was saying.I snapped. “What the hell are you talking about?!”I waited for her to laugh. To say it was all a twisted prank. Anything. She only kept staring at me with that same cold expression.“You said I was si

You truly have no idea who your husband is?
Aria AshfordThe door had barely opened before I stopped short.Bundles of cash covered the table around Victoria. She sat in the middle of it all, flipping through the bills one by one while the faint rustle of paper filled the room. She looked far too comfortable.She didn’t even glance at me.“I knew your senses would return eventually.” Her voice stayed calm enough to make my skin crawl. She kept counting the bills without even looking at me.“You should’ve listened from the start,” she said. “Running away was pointless.”I tightened my grip on the bag until the edge bit into my hand. “If you think I’ll surrender this easily, you’re mistaken.”One eyebrow rose in lazy amusement. The corner of her lips curled faintly. “You plan to run again?”The bag slipped from my hand and hit the floor. Before I realized it, I was already walking toward her. Every instinct told me to back away, but anger kept my feet moving.“I’ll tell them everything,” I snapped. “You forced me into this marria

Aria AshfordWas Mia joking with me just now?How could I be thrown into a marriage with a man who carried the prestige of a military commander? A man everyone knew... and everyone feared?My chest tightened so hard I had to force air into my lungs.Mia leaned closer, a teasing smile tugging at her mouth.“Do not tell me you have a crush on him?”The answer caught in my throat.“That is not it...”She laughed before cutting me off.“Relax, I am only joking.”She lowered her voice and leaned in a little.“But believe me... he is far from those terrifying rumors.”Her words only made me more uneasy..knot in my stomach tightened.What if the rumors were true? What if war had already hollowed him out? And the problem was not only the way he might treat me...But the idea of deceiving a man like him..How would I escape from someone with all that power?

Come Closer and Sit Down.
Aria AshfordHow did I end up here?One night ago, none of this existed. Now I was standing inside a stranger’s house, tied to people I did not know.I wiped my tears with the edge of my shirt, sat down when I felt a sharp dryness in my throat.Maybe water would help a little... Or at least give me an escape from my thoughts.I slipped out of the room and walked down the hallway slowly. The staircase came into view ahead of me, so I moved toward it carefully, but the moment I stepped onto the first stair, my foot slipped.I almost falling, but an arm caught me around the waist before I could fall and pulled me backward hard enough for my back to hit a solid chest.My back stiffened against him. He smelled clean, cold, something sharp beneath it.The smell settled somewhere unpleasant under my ribs.I tilted my head up carefully, but the darkness was too thick for me to make out his features.One hand stayed firm at my waist while his chest pressed against my back.I shifted back, but

Our Marriage Contract...?
Aria AshfordWhat was that contract I had been forced to sign earlier?“So... what about the contract I signed before?” My words nearly caught in my throat. I looked up at him, my brows pulling together.He didn’t react. “Wasn’t that considered a marriage contract?”He glanced at me once, like he had expected that question from the start.“The previous contract was only proof that you agreed to the marriage.”Damian said before adding,“But this... is the official contract. With my conditions and yours.”I stared at him, weren’t married yet! Even If I said no now… what would change?What was waiting for me back there anyway? A house under threat of being burned down? There was Marcus.I bit the inside of my cheek hard enough to taste blood.His family barely tolerated my existence already, so would they really welcome me after divorcing a man like Damian Hawthorne?That was never going to happen.I looked down at the papers between us.“Are you telling me... that you’ll agree to my

I don’t want to see your face.
Aria AshfordThe car finally stopped in front of the university.I grabbed my bag and opened the door, but Michael’s voice stopped me before I got out.“I’ll be nearby.” He said it firmly. “If you need anything... you’ll find me behind you.”I didn’t answer him. Great! Now even the university wasn’t safe.I entered the lecture hall, searching for an empty seat. The moment I found one and sat down, my breathing stopped for a second.Marcus.He was sitting in front of me.A small feeling of relief appeared inside me... very small.But it disappeared; Because he didn’t even look at me. He didn’t turn toward me once.I frowned in annoyance.I was supposed to be the angry one here... not him.I pressed my lips together irritably and almost got up to move to the seat beside him... but the lecture hall door opened.The teaching assistant entered, and with him the students’ noise gradually quieted down as the lecture began.I couldn’t take my eyes off Marcus. I kept watching him the entire

I Thought I Lost You
Aria Ashford“I’m sorry... I was angry and I lost control of myself. I hurt you without meaning to.”Marcus exhaled and looked at me again. This time there was nothing in his eyes except regret.“As if an apology would erase what you said.” I wiped my tears away quickly and with pride.He stepped toward me, but I stepped back.So he stopped.“You’re right... I was an asshole.”His voice became quieter.“I won’t repeat it again.”I laughed through my tears, lifted my eyes toward him. “You’re always an asshole... what’s new?”He lowered his head, trying to hide the small smile that appeared on his lips, as if he somehow found me cute even now.“I was scared, Aria.”My eyes lifted toward him. “I couldn’t stand the idea of you carrying another man’s name while I could do absolutely nothing.”Pain squeezed hard around my chest.“I was scared too!” I exploded at him. “But I didn’t abandon you the way you abandoned me.”I turned my face away while struggling to breathe, but his fingers held

He Had Never Seen a Naked Woman in His Life
Damian Hawthorne“Let me guess... trouble with your wife?” I said it without preamble after letting out a quiet breath.When the door opened after two light knocks... I lifted my eyes to see Elias walk in with an exhausted face, as if he had just come out of a lost battle rather than an argument with his wife.He let out a heavy sigh before throwing himself onto the couch across from me, rubbing his face with obvious irritation.“It’s not a big problem. Just hormones, man...”I was reviewing some documents on my desk...“You want to convince me her hormones suddenly appeared on their own?” Elias shot me a blank look, blaming me for taking his wife’s side, then said with annoyance, “Fine... maybe I made a small mistake. But she’s overreacting! She asked me if she had gained weight, and all I did was answer yes.”I stared at him for a few seconds. Sometimes I wonder how this idiot managed to get married and have two children while completely lacking any survival instinct.I exhaled cig
