Love Beyond The Contract Novels & Stories

I raised my hand to hit him slightly but noticed the diamond ring on my finger, I brought it down and stared at it confused. “When...” “I have my ways and besides, who engages someone with a ring?” I have no words; it was beautiful and made me feel like a real bride but that all shattered when I saw the contract that I actually requested reminding that this was a just pretend stunt until he finally gets off his father clutches. “Go through it and see if there’s any problem,” he said calmly going back to his seat. I scanned through the contract and noticed something insane, “what do you mean this is indefinite?”

He explained. "More like a contract marriage?" Ashely asked. "Exactly a contract marriage" Alan replied. Ashely chuckled,tears streaming down her face at the thought of being married to a total stranger in other to save her mother's life. "What makes you think I would say yes to your proposal and don't you think it is illegal to find out about someone's life without their permission?" Ashely asked while wiping the tears off her face. "I know you love your mom so much and you wouldn't watch her die when you have the option to save her and yes, it might be illegal to find out about someone without their permission but you caught my interest Ash " He replied in a serene voice.

I followed and threw the door open, “All these while, did you ever plan on letting me go? Were you deceiving me all along? You said when your bride returns, you'd let me go — the contract said so.” “That was before I fell in love with you!” Felix fired back. “As far as I am in love with you, the contract changes. The contract changed as soon as I started having feelings for you! You won't leave even when my bride has returned.” I stood frozen, my mind struggling to process the words that had just left his lips. It was as if time had stopped, and all that existed was the sound of his voice, echoing in my ears. I had expected anything from him – sarcasm, indifference, even annoyance – but not

I managed to say despite how much his presence was affecting me. "What is best for our families is our happiness, Helen. This contract was meant to support both families and trust me, us falling in love would be the miracle they might be, " He said. "Blake, the contract is the main reason I don't think this can work between us. The contract binds us for only two years. This was meant to end from the beginning. It's fucked up." I stared deep into his eyes and said. "If the contract is your only issue, then you have nothing to worry about. That thing is nothing more than a worthless piece of paper that will stop existing today. Just say yes to me." He maintained my gaze, with his hands wrapped

Luckily for me, it was a soft and comfortable bed, just as I like it. "Huh!" I heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the bed as I heard my phone beeped a call. I located the phone and answered the call. I placed it on my ear to receive the voice of the caller. "Hello mam! I'm in" I informed the caller. "Good! Daphne, remember, you have 30 days to eliminate him. Don't let me down" the caller reminded me of our contract. "Yes mam, I won't fail you. He'd be dead sooner than you expect" I gave my reply and she ended the call immediately.

So I do what I can do best. I go back. - Forget that, I finally whisper, with a tight throat. Lie. She still looks at me, her lips slightly ajar, her short breath. She wants to speak, answer me, but I see in her eyes that she is as lost as I am. The contract. I know what she thinks. This damn contract that binds us, which sets clear rules. No love. Just a child. Just an agreement. But what do we do now that one of us has just broken the only rule that should protect us?

she continues, voice barely steady, “that I was allowed to be loved.” He does not respond. “I loved him,” she says. “And I thought that made me human. Not weak.” Arthur’s voice is calm. “Love is a liability when it interferes with legacy.” She lets out a bitter laugh. “Is that what you think happened?” “Yes,” he says. “You wanted something the contract did not permit.” “That contract was never supposed to erase me.” “It was supposed to protect you,” he counters. “From what?” she asks. “Feeling?”

cool car guy" who made me a job offer last month? - I asked, making quotation marks in the air. - The crazy guy who asked you to have his child? Yes I do, why? - So... And that, I kind of... - Lisa? What's wrong? - Miguel asked looking at me curiously and I could almost see the cogs in his brain moving to try to put the pieces of the puzzle together. - Okay - I got up the courage, - Here goes! After the whole thing last month I thought I didn't get pregnant, but the truth is that I found out a few days ago that I actually, with all my bad luck, ended up pregnant by a stranger. So now I am in the middle of a kind of contract with him because the child is his and I am just the "surrogate". So

People turned to watch. Cameras lifted. Luca’s breath caught in his throat. Damon stopped in front of him. Close enough that Luca could see the storm in his eyes. “You said the contract did its job,” Damon said quietly. Luca’s heart pounded. “It did.” “And that means you’re leaving.” “Yes.” Damon studied him for a long moment. Then he said something Luca never expected. “Too bad.” Luca blinked. “What?” Damon’s voice hardened. “Because I never agreed to end it.”

I am not going to let him have the upper hand. “I am surprised you have the energy to marry someone, you look like you are going to kill over very soon. What is wrong with you, AIDS?” I mocked and watched as the cocky look disappeared from his face to be replaced with a hardened look. I wasn’t done. I leaned in to mutter my words. “Kamaria will never love you because I have her heart, I have always had her heart,” I whispered and when I leaned back and smirked at him before turning to the others, I picked out Bobby with my eyes. “None of you is going to stop me from seeing Kamaria, she is the only one who can and until she says otherwise I will be seeing her, have a nice day,” I nodded at th
