A Contractual Marriage? Hell No Novels & Stories

RACHEL’S POV “What did you do?” Leo asked, his tone platonic but I could sense the underlying annoyance in his voice. “I did what I could. If we both act as a married couple for just 100 days, then Max Zenin will either invest in my company or yours at the end of it,” I said, folding my arms defensively. I had hoped he would understand, but his expression told me otherwise.

Her brain couldn't digest that she was married already. She was married! With Kelvin Williams! "We will pack all the things in your house," Kelvin said, breaking Luliyah out of her thoughts. Luliyah looked up, seeing Kelvin who said it while closing his eyes. "Ah ... But ..." Luliyah couldn't digest it all. Everything was happening so fast. Wasn't their marriage just a contract marriage? Should she also live with Kelvin? 'Contract marriage...' They were married because of their own interests. Harris initially opposed the marriage because Kelvin was in no gain position. Kelvin will spend a lot of money to pay for Luliyah's mother hospital bill, but what will she give Kelvin in return?

“Who says it isn’t? Aside from not having a wedding ceremony or wearing rings, what part of it isn’t real?” “The contract we signed is proof that it isn't!” I shot back. “So what? We still have a wedding certificate, don't we? That evens it out.” He tilted his head, unconcerned. Annoyed, I yanked my hand from his grip—only for him to catch it again and pull me closer. “Valeria,” he said, voice lower. “A contract is signed at the mutual consent of two people. Likewise, it can be nullified the same way.”

I blurted out before I could stop myself. My dad nodded. “The wedding is in two weeks.” “Fuck this!.” She got on her feet. “I’m not getting married to some loser. I’m not getting married just because you failed to save your company the normal way. I’m getting out of here.” “There are consequences.” Mom said quickly just before Chloe could turn her back to leave. “We signed a document, documents. And it said that if we failed to fulfill our part of the contract, both your father and I would have to give up everything we own, including this house and failure to do that would lead us to prison.”

Now, let me remind myself that she’s here to finish her very last requirement so she can finally graduate and not find a lover! “Just…” he paused and I was waiting for him to continue what he was saying. By looking at him right now, I know that I brought him so much stress because of this so-called marriage of ours. Marriage my ass! Where did that paper even come from? I didn’t know about it. I didn’t even know about him for me to get us a fucking marriage certificate and why would I involve myself in it in the first place, right? Because if I could blackmail Keandrick for him to sign me my clearance for the finals, involving myself in a marriage would be the least. I wouldn’t risk my name,

"It’s nothing like that. Even though I'm dead crazy about you, and I'll make sure you'll get fucked when you get home because of the fucking days that I won’t be able to take you, I was even more worried when you didn't call or text earlier. Other than that, you’re not answering my calls. I was already planning to go there with Aries if he had not told me the next flight there would be on Friday.” Is that how worried he was? Wow, I didn’t know he could feel that way towards me. Yes, we fuck, and I am his wife, but I can’t set aside the truth that we are in a contractual marriage. "I'm sorry again,” I apologize. “I promise to make it up to you when I come back. I will let you fuck me endlessl

She scrambles back against the pillows, breath coming in sharp gasps, eyes bright with tears she refuses to let fall. “No,” she says, shaking her head. “No – this is wrong. I stood in a church and I married your son. Two days ago.” The words are sharp with shock, not logic, but I let her finish. I let the panic crest, then I speak. “That marriage was a contract,” I say, evenly. “You know that.” She freezes. “You didn’t marry for love,” I continue. “You didn’t promise fidelity of feeling. You promised duration, performance, appearance.”

I say, nervously biting my lips. “A contract marriage?” He says, I nod, “yes, a contract marriage between the two of us”. He smiles, “I understand what you’re trying to say, but why do you think I need to get into a contract marriage and if I did, why will it be with you?” He asks.

He said with a bit of professionalism in his voice, but in an instant he was pulling her along the large hall heading for the elevator. “Now that we are finally married, there are rules.” Kayden said darkly and Crystal felt goose bumps peel at the upper part of her skin. “Some rules that I might have omitted in the contract.” “If it’s not included in the contract that we signed, isn’t that invalid?” She asked moving away from him creating as much as many space possible between them. “They are only invalid when I say so.” He said smugly with some sort of arrogant aura radiating off from him. The elevator beeped and opened almost immediately he got out of the elevator and Crystal came running

"I just want to stay by your side until the child is born, and then I'll walk away from your life. Basically, I just need about 10 months." The room fell silent. "And you think my grandmother would let you walk away?" Kyle's voice was laced with skepticism. "She won't be able to do anything if we enter a contract marriage," I replied. Kyle's eyes widened. "Contract marriage?" he repeated. "Yes," I explained. "To her, we'll really get married, but between us, it'll just be a contract. We'll sign an agreement stating the terms, including the duration – 10 months – and when the contract ends, I'll leave you alone."
