Terms and conditions of the heart Rules and recklessness
Chapter 10Elara hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before.The whole change still didn’t sit right with her.The sun streamed through the curtains, its brightness forcing her eyes open. She rubbed them, half-hoping it was all a ridiculous dream—but it wasn’t. Reality hit her again, heavy and suffocating.She took a quick shower and slipped into casual clothes. She didn’t even know what her “job” here was supposed to be. Was she meant to sit around waiting for his orders? The thought made her scoff.She’d always been independent—strong-willed, capable. Now, she felt trapped, like she’d been dropped into a gilded cage.As she reached for the door, she froze. Lucien was probably back. She didn’t want to see him—not yet. She wished he’d just vanish long enough for her to run far away.But hunger won. Her stomach growled in protest.She took a deep breath and opened the door—only to jump back with a gasp.Lucien was standing right outside.“God!” she blurted, pressing a hand to her chest.

Chapter 9“The hell do you mean you’re getting married to Lucien?” Ryan shouted, pacing the room like a storm about to break.“Yes… I don’t know, but it was my only choice,” Elara said quietly.“Girl, that’s bullshit! You didn’t even tell anyone. Taking a loan would’ve been way better than marrying that man.”“And how was I supposed to pay it back, Ryan?” Elara shot back, anger flaring through her voice.Ryan stopped pacing, her lips pressed into a thin line.“If I don’t help them, no one will,” Elara continued, her voice shaking. “We’ve tried everything—we’re stuck. I know it’s stupid, but it would be even more stupid if I let them die just like that. You heard the doctor that night. They can’t do anything for us anymore… no one can.”Her voice broke, and the tears came in heavy drops. She fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.Ryan’s anger melted away. She hurried over, crouching beside her and pulling her into her arms, running her hand gently through Elara’s hair.“Please… don
Terms and conditions of the heart Paper chains
Chapter 8Elara’s gaze burned holes through the contract. Lucien had given her until the next afternoon to give him an answer, and he hadn't said a single word after handing it over last night.Why me? she thought, the question a nagging scratch in her mind. Why would he want to marry her of all people? Even though she knew it was purely a business transaction—a year of her life for a billion-dollar contract. It felt strange, and deeply personal. Did he have a hidden agenda?She was supposed to respond today.She read the document again, scrutinizing every clause, terrified she'd missed a term that would risk her life or safety. But it was exactly as she’d first understood it, a stark, unambiguous contract. She would be married to Lucien for one year, solely to secure a major business deal.She hated to admit it, but on paper, it was simple.But she knew Lucien. There was nothing simple or ordinary about him.He’d laid out the rules, a list of demands that made her blood simmer:They

Chapter 7A week had passed since Elara sent the text to Lucien, and still, there was no response. All hope was lost now. She had expected it, but she hadn’t expected it to hurt this much.No one knew she had gone to see him. Elara was staying at Ryan’s apartment; she couldn’t bear to sleep in her own house alone. She heard from Noah occasionally; after their fight, he’d called to check in and sometimes dropped off food for her.She was currently nestled on Ryan’s bed, slowly eating a bowl of soup. Ryan’s eyes never left her.“I want to ask why you’re looking at me like that, but I really don’t have the strength to know why,” Elara said, her spoon scraping the ceramic bowl.“You talked to him, didn’t you?” Ryan pressed.“Who?” Elara asked, feigning ignorance.“Lucien, you bitch,” Ryan said, pulling the soup bowl away.“I’m going to bed,” Elara announced, adjusting herself under the duvet.“Oh, come on, Ellie. I know you did. I just hope you didn’t do or say anything stupid.”“I didn’t

Chapter 6It was as if his mind couldn’t process what his eyes were seeing.Elara.Right there, directly in front of him, was the girl he thought he’d been rid of forever. She was real, not a memory, standing mere feet away. Her golden-brown eyes were just as he remembered, and he could still make out the faint, scattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose. She looked incredible.She had blossomed. There was a new maturity in the curve of her smile, and the red velvet dress she wore clung to her body, highlighting the defined grace of her hips and a figure that had certainly developed since their last encounter. Her lips were painted a bold, striking red.She was staring at him, too, her own disbelief mirroring his. What was she doing here? he wondered wildly. Was she with a man? Was she still single? The questions slammed into him, unwanted and immediate.“Lucien.”She spoke his name, the sound of it a soft, husky rasp, before clearing her throat. “How are you?” she asked.“W

Chapter 5 Elara sat beside her brother in the hospital. It had been a week since she ran out of Noah’s apartment. Things were calm between them now, but it still felt like there was an invisible wall separating them. It had also been a week since she saw Lucien on the charity event advert. Lucien wasn’t just anyone to her. He was her childhood best friend—her first love. Their families had been inseparable back then. Her father and his were like brothers. She had known Lucien since before she could even form proper words. He had always looked out for her, teased her, protected her. When she was younger, she got jealous anytime she saw him around other girls. Her mother always told her it was just a silly crush and that she’d get over it eventually. But she never did. What she felt for Lucien went deeper—it was love, the kind that made everything else fade away. They started dating when she was sixteen. It felt like a dream come true, even though it had always felt like they’d bee
