Bestfriend Contract Novels & Stories

Didn’t he hear anything I said? “Be my pretend mate…for a certain period of time. Let’s say for at least a year. We will draw a legal contract and have it notarized and we will negotiate about the duties that you will have to do for me during the agreed period…” He shrugs. “...by the end of which, we will part as good friends and… I will pay you ten million dollars.”

“No leverage of any kind, and definitely no surprises. I hate surprises.’ I nodded thoughtfully, wondering what would happen if I actually tried surprising her. “…I can do most of that.” Axel groaned. “Alexei.” “I said most,” I repeated with a pout. “Which brings me to my condition.” Brielle closed her eyes. “Here it comes.” “I want a contract.” She stared at me. “A what?” “A friendship contract,” I revealed with a bright smile. Axel blinked. “You’re kidding.” “Dead serious.”

I was shaking really badly and I didn’t even know what to think. All I knew was that I didn’t need anybody to start explaining my own predicament to me again. I already knew what I was signing. I was signing a seven-day contract with this dickhead, so all I needed to do was NOT to turn gay within those seven days or I’d be fucking getting married to this crazy psychopath. So what was there to explain again? Explaining it to me again would only make the situation feel worse and even more unbearable. So please, no—I didn’t want any more explanation. I knew exactly what the fuck I was signing, and I was aware of every single thing in the fucking contract.

I'd wanted to know what a normal life felt like, so I'd kept that part of myself buried. When I met Samantha, struggling to get by but pushing through school anyway, I made her my best friend. When she couldn't afford the hot meals in the cafeteria, I'd pile extra food onto my tray every day and pretend I couldn't finish it, sliding it over to her. When she couldn't pay for school materials, I'd made up a story about winning a scratch-off and covered it for her. When guys from outside school started giving her trouble, I'd scared them off myself.

Now, it just made me want to gag. “Nobody knows you the way I do. Nobody else on this campus actually gives a damn about you the way I do. I’m the one who protected you. I’m the one who always made sure you were good. You think Brittany cares? She’s just using this to cause a scene because she hates me, not because she's trying to protect you. You’re my best friend, Kathy. We’re supposed to be a team. You can’t let people come between us over some stupid rumor or misunderstanding.”

We'll be able to survive the year pretending to be a happy married couple when it's only for a short amount of time—we've known each other for too long, we don't have to worry about being uncomfortable or about falling for one another. For twenty years, we've been friends for twenty years . . . I'm confident that we will never forget the main purpose of the contract. Besides, helping my best friend is worth it. He has been the one to help me before ever since we were in middle school, might as well return the favour. ''It might work,'' I mutter.

He laughed loudly. What the fuck! Sasha's eyes widened. "They are not?" she demanded. "Of course not. They are not in a relationship, and they've never been. Well, other than a boss and subordinate, or friendship, which we all share, there's nothing more. Jeez, where did you even get that?" He made it sound like the craziest thing to even imagine. "Um, nowhere," Sasha breathed softly. "I only thought so." She was suddenly exhausted.

“I never thought I’d fall in love with a man. Especially not him. But at night, when I close my eyes, he keeps me awake, reaching for what I can never have.” Ryan and Caleb have spent their entire lives running from the expectations that come with being heirs to two of the wealthiest families in the country.
