Contract Marriage Novels & Stories

“Read the contract, and sign it if you're fine with all the clauses,” I blinked, staring at him, confused. What contract? My eyes flicked back to the paper as I picked it up. I stiffened. ‘Marriage Contract’ was written boldly at the top of the paper. My eyes wandered round the paper. No sex. No strings attached. No meddling in each other's affairs. No third party. Appear publicly as his wife, but never tell people about us. Then my eyes stilled on it… The number of years we'll be married for. Three years.

But after reading the clause I was shattered. As per the bible, a wedding is not done on purpose to be a fixed contract that can be torn up or failed at will.

"Do they all have real marriages?" His fingers pause on the keyboard. "Define real." "Marriages that started without contracts." "Most marriages are contracts, Mara. Some are just more honest about it." "That's bleak." "That's reality." He returns to typing. "James and Victoria Worthington married to merge family fortunes. Oliver Grant married his assistant to avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit. The Pattersons have an arrangement where he keeps a mistress and she keeps his credit cards."

However, when necessary, they will portray themselves as a couple in love in public, with no room for denial. 2. Neither party should be in a close relationship with the opposite sex while in the marriage. 3. In the marriage, parties must exclusively fulfill their physical needs with each other and no one else. Scarlett stopped there and took a look at the pitiful man before going through the contract again. 4. If Party A (ml) decides to terminate the contract before three years have elapsed, he can do so, and Party B (fl) cannot object. ‘Yeah, cocky bastard.’ Scar cursed in her mind and read the other parts of the contract.

"I had my lawyers prepare this" He handed it to me, and I opened it carefully. CONTRACT MARRIAGE AGREEMENT. My pulse skipped as I slowly skimmed through the pages. "Wait.... I frowned. "There are actual rules?" Kieran folded his arms. "Naturally". So I kept on reading. Rule One: No involvement with other men during the duration of the contract marriage. Rule Two: Attend official functions beside husband. Rule Three: Maintain public image of loving marriage. Rule Four:

"A contract marriage between the both of us” “A contract marriage? Like a marriage only on papers?” She asked, still confused. “Yeah! A marriage only on papers. To the world we are happily married but between us, it's only a business deal” I explained, and watched her calm down immediately. “Alright! For how long? Months or years?

"Yeah, just six months of us pretending to be married and then we can terminate the contract between us.

I wouldn’t have been surprised if his next statement was about it. “Why would you? It’s normal for married couples to cuddle with each other.” He shrugged, and I scowled. “We’re not a normal married couple. We’re a contractually married couple. Contractual, Raphael. And in our contract, there is no sexual intimacy, remember? It’s a rule already set in stone.” How many times was I going to remind him about that?

I asked her “No I’m not sir, can I leave now?” she asked me, looking frustrated. “ you can leave,” I said and watched as she left my office. I'll marry her, I have to even if I have to kidnap her mother. I'll do that. I called my lawyer to draft a marriage contract based on my terms and have it delivered tomorrow. I don't have time, Tom would be getting married in less than a week and I have to get married before him.

I failed to recognize such because I was overwhelmed by his sudden disturbance and the mention of marriage. “Sit.” My brows furrowed. Why does he order me around like I am a dog? I snorted and took a seat on the couch. He dragged the envelope nearer in my direction before crossing his arms over his chest. “This is a contract about our marriage. Read it.” I don’t have a choice but to do it so I read the entire contract. It was a normal marriage contract aside from its expiration. In two to three years, the contract will expire as well as our bond as a husband and wife will be nullified as what the contract implies.

“It's better than actually getting married, right?” A contract? He's suppose to get married using a contract? “How did you say it works again?” Michael let out a sigh “it's simple, you and your chosen lady sign the contract that states that the marriage lasts for only 6 months.
