나와 남편은 결혼 7년 만에 드디어 첫 아이를 가졌다. 그런데 남편은 내 배 속의 아이가 자기 아이가 아니라고 의심했다. 화가 난 나는 친자 확인 검사를 받기로 결심했다. 결과가 나오기 전에 남편이 친정집 문 앞에 나타났다. 손에 한 장의 사진을 들고 말이다. 내 속옷이 그의 친구 집에서 발견되었다는 것이다. “빌어먹을 년, 감히 날 배신해? 나더러 네 아이를 키우라고? 당장 죽어버려!” 남편은 아홉 개로 나뉜 채찍으로 나를 감싸고 있던 엄마 때려 기절시키고 나를 폭행해 유산을 시켰다. 그리고 나서야 친자 확인 결과를 알게 된 남편은 진실을 깨닫고 잃어버린 아이를 돌려달라며 무릎을 꿇고 빌었다.

“Is this a…contract?” “It has everything you would need if you want to go on dates with me for the next couple of weeks. From the times you can call me to the days I would not be available to pick up calls or even respond to text messages no matter how urgent they are. There’s also a number of locations we can have our dates and another number of places I would never set foot in. Things you can talk about and things you should stay out of. There’s a detailed list of questions you can ask me there and an even more detailed list of things you should never mention. It’s not too much. All you need to do is go through it, sign the contract and we’re good to go. I’ll text you the dates and locations of our dates and have my driver come pick you up.” Emily was bewildered. “You’ve got to be joking.” ——- Emily Stark was given a choice- to either get married to a billionaire she had never met her entire life in place of her sister who had ran away in fear of getting married or somehow find a way to pay her parents’ debt of thirty million dollars in a day.

Well, unless your husband to be is a cold ruthless billionaire who only cares about his work and has absolutely no interest in you. And to make it worse, thinks marriage is nothing but another business deal. A contract to be signed and simply gotten over with with time.
