Eternal Contract Novels & Stories

"Not by another person. By the System's divine architecture itself, which means the terms are enforceable at a level that exceeds Imperial authority. Breaking the contract early would trigger consequences that you are not willing to accept." He paused. Twenty seconds used. "The contract has a specific end date. You know exactly when the seal will dissolve. You have been counting the time in a way that most people do not count time, because most people do not live long enough for century-scale contracts to be relevant to their planning." Her fingers had moved. Not obviously. Just a fractional shift in position that Kael would not have noticed if he had not been watching specifically for any r

"Erik, our contract has already expired." Erik's expression froze for a second. "What?" I was silent for a while before reminding him, "Our contract has expired. Did you forget? After the Dragon God delivered its prophecy, we signed a three-year contract that would automatically dissolve when the time was up. Yesterday was the last day." The color drained completely from his face. He suddenly raised a hand to clutch his chest, as if he had only just felt the emptiness of truly losing me. "That's impossible! How could it suddenly be dissolved? I didn't sense anything at all!" he cried.

Adrian took him in every po​si​tio⁠n,‌ drawing out pleasure until Ethan was sob⁠b​ing with it,⁠ then h⁠eld‌ him through‍ the aftershocks like he never‌ wanted to let​ g​o. As t⁠hey lay tangl⁠ed togeth‍er in the dark,‍ the ci⁠ty l‌ights glit​te‍ring below, Adrian whispe‍r⁠ed aga⁠i‌nst‍ Ethan’s hair: “The contract is⁠ gone but you… you’re st​a‌yin‌g no matter whatever it cos‌ts.”⁠ Outside th‌ei​r pr⁠otec‍ted world, th⁠e w⁠olves were circli​ng.

Then the creature moved again, its form shifting inward slightly, as though drawing its presence tighter. “Blood binds.” The words struck deeper this time. Images followed. Two lines. Two thrones. One bond. Sealed beneath earth and time. It's not marriage neither is it alliance. Something older. Something irreversible. I felt Liora step closer behind me. “What is it saying?” she asked quietly. I didn’t take my eyes off the creature. “That whatever was buried here…” I said slowly, “it wasn't just power.” It was a contract. And contracts…..

“No, don’t call me sir. Call me Dad.” *** We spent our days in mansion while I’m doing the papers we needed for us to leave the condo. Ever since we came in Maynila again, I haven’t seen Ethan. I stalked his account to see if he’s active but my eyebrows arched when he posted something recently. ‘I hope that painting would make you see how much efforts and love I’ve put to paint you. If we’re not meant for each other now, let’s meet in the parallel universe. I’ll wait for you there like how I waited for you until now.’

She opens it and her eyes widen in shock as she reads the front. "Contract of Conceptual Agreement of Matrimony." She covers her mouth and looks toward the door, hoping no one is by the door to catch her. She begins to read and realizes the importance of the document. This is too good to let pass. She takes her phone out and begins to snap pictures of the document and sends it to herself in an email and to a different address.

THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her. In the stage of marriage, there was no room for playing. People weren’t playing at this stage. Before two people enter this stage, you two must be very sure that you love each other and that both are willing to enter into a lifetime commitment. Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner.

she sits down naturally, stretches out with little delicacy, showing her bad manners, this causes amusement to Harry. “Why would you want to be my wife?” “Do you want me to tell you the truth?” “Yes, I want you to tell me, as you realize, this is a contract marriage with a duration of two years, if you were the chosen one you would have to come to live with me, pass before society as my wife, and of course before all my family, when the contract ends we will sign the divorce, you leave with 10 grand in your account, 5 that we will pay at the beginning and 5 at the end, if you are chosen you will know with time your functions.”

Wait this isn’t how I planned this! My dad stood up and came around to hug me. My mum joined in too. “Sweetheart, is that what you had in that head of yours the whole time?” My mum looked like she was tearing up too. Hey at least I think this is working. “But I assure you i witnessed your potential fiancé grow up and he is nothing like that! In fact his father, your dads business partner, said so himself that he will cut his son’s hands off if he dares mistreat you! The one you will marry agreed himself that he will agree to any terms you have! So please my sweet daughter give this a chance” I blew it. My hope flew out of the window. I scooted closer to my dad though. “Your mother is right,

“The architecture is sound. The data is consistent. But for true permanence, some systems benefit from a… a formalized covenant. A public and legal recognition of the integrated state.” My breath hitched. He wasn’t looking at me, his profile serious in the flickering light. “Are you talking about marriage, Luther?” I whispered. He finally turned his head, his eyes meeting mine. They were clear, certain, and completely open. “I am talking about a permanent merger. A binding contract that secures all shared assets—emotional, financial, familial—under a single, unbreakable entity.
