A Contractual Marriage? Hell No Novels & Stories

By page twenty-four, she looked angry. “Absolutely not.” “Maya.” “No. This is not a contract. This is a trap with letterhead.” “It’s standard for clients at this level.” “Standard for people who expect to ruin lives and pay invoices afterward.” Lena rubbed her forehead. “It’s one wedding.” “No, it’s not. You said it yourself. This is a merger wearing a veil.” That was the problem. Maya was right.

Hearing the words again made her stomach flip. “Yes.

C'mon, I wouldn't want a harder life than one I have lived so far. “I don't see a reason why I need to have a contract marriage with you, sir,” I said politely. “The entire idea is absurd. I have only heard of such marriages in books and I tell you, sir, books are not real life.
