We can't go back to just... figuring it out emotionally." "We weren't figuring it out. We were destroying each other." I touched the contract. "This way, at least we have rules. Boundaries. Ways to know when we're crossing lines." "It's not romantic."

“I didn’t come to be told a story.” “It’s the contract you signed, man,” Adam’s voice lost its normal banter. It sounded flat and lawyerly instead. “And it is a legally binding contract.

But now she’s back.” “I don’t understand. I’ve never had a mother. Why now?” “Because your eighteenth birthday is near. And we had a deal. I’d keep you until then… and return you to her.” I shot to my feet, fury trembling in my limbs. “A deal? What the heck, Dad? I’m not stock you can trade!”

The tension in the room crackled with something far more intimate than any corporate deal. Hard limits first. The things that would never happen, no matter what. “These are absolute,” he said. “Non-negotiable. If either of us violates a hard limit, the contract is void immediately. No second chances.” She nodded, reading through the list. No permanent marks or scarring. No sharing with others—ever. No public humiliation that could damage her professional reputation. No breath play. No blood. Nothing that could cause lasting physical harm. “What are yours?” she asked.

Something shifted in his expression, brief and unguarded, lasting no longer than a single breath before it locked back down. "That will be explained in time." "I want it explained now." "What you want," he said slowly, "and what happens next are two very different things, Miss Carter." "It's not Miss Carter anymore, apparently," she shot back. "According to your contract, it's Mrs. Bale." Something happened then that she wasn't ready for. He almost smiled.

This is a professional arrangement, and any breach of this emotional boundary will be grounds for immediate termination without compensation.

” oh so this isn't a cursory visit. “Hope you enjoyed your day. Did Adam show you around?” He asks to make small talk. “My day went well and yes, Adam did show me around,” I answered coolly. “Good! Here is a copy of the contract…” he said, pushing the folder to me. “If there is a clause you are not comfortable with you can say so.” He said leaning back in his chair.
