He pushed a contract toward her. "Go through it thoroughly. Everything you’re expected to do is listed. If you have any conditions, let me know." He looked at me, who’d been quiet throughout, then back to her. "You’ll be paid a million dollars once the contract is signed, and the other million when the three years are completed."

Do you give me your word that you will stick to the new terms? "I can draw up a revised document." "No need, do you give me your word?" Alex realized she trusted him on the same level he trusted her. A pickle of satisfaction ran through him. "I give you my word." "Then i will shake on it. Oh, and the dissolution of our marriage after one year, my family can't be hurt in this deception. We cite irreconcilable differences and pretend to part as friends." "I can live with that." "Good, pick me up tonight at seven and we will go see my family and break the news.

It's so fucked up, hilarious and genius, I can't stop myself from laughing, because it's totally something Grayson Knight would do, this crazy fucking man, who I can't believe loves me, he's so crazy...

The room was quiet. "The original agreement required a marriage of established and genuine connection. What I entered into on the day of the wedding was not that." He said it cleanly. No defensiveness. "I made a contractual arrangement with a woman I had met three times, for a period of six months, in exchange for financial compensation. That is the full truth of how it began."

"The board has asked me to address the current situation. Not how it started. What it is now. And what it is now is not a contractual arrangement."

We can’t back out without destroying both our companies.” “So?” “So we do it. We go through with the marriage.” He said it matter of factly, like he was discussing a business transaction. “But on our terms. Not theirs.” I sat down across from him. “Explain.” “A contract marriage. Purely business. We get married, put on a good show for the public, keep our families and boards happy.

He gave me a lot of attention, and I felt like the luckiest woman on earth to have him as my partner. We had been planning our wedding since graduating from the university last year. Our love was so strong that we couldn't wait to live together. We got engaged six months after graduation, and today, which was six months after our engagement, we tied the knot.

I ask “I don’t fall in love miss evans” he answers his tone sharp I nod “so I marry you for one year…and in exchange you’ll help pay for my sisters treatment? “yes” he nods “okay I take a deep breath “what is expected of me if i’m to marry you” I ask wanting to know what i’m getting myself into “you’ll live with me in my house for the duration of the marriage…we’ll try to show up as a loving couple to the public…you’ll meet my family, the rest of the stipulations will be stated in a contract you’ll sign before the day of the wedding” he explains

Everything was so fast and surreal, as though he had been waiting for this moment. Who even just sees someone in church and marries them? It didn’t make sense to me, but did I care? No. All I wanted was revenge, and I would do anything for that. We had signed both the marriage contract, which stated we would go our separate ways two years from now.

I took the check and looked at it intently.

He was his attorney. It was our wedding day yet my so-called groom hadn’t shown up for the formalities. “What’s going on Mr. Remora?” Father finally broke the silence. “He is probably on his way.” Mr. Remora replied calmly, trying to reassure him.
