You will move into this house permanently. You will appear at my side at every gala, every meeting, every public event as my wife. Your inheritance, when we recover it, will be tied directly to Cross Holdings. You will be completely, entirely mine. Do you understand the weight of that signature?” A fake marriage. Total surveillance. Becoming the property of the most dangerous predator in the city. It was exactly what Sarah had warned me against. It was a deal with the devil.

‘Because I knew that you’d be arrogant enough to think it was all some giant conspiracy theory instead of the kind of slip-up that’s been happening to men and women ever since they started fornicating! His eyes bored into her. ‘I’m assuming that marriage is what you want?’ Pamela’s eyes widened. Hadn’t he been listening to a word she’d been saying? ‘You must be mad,’ she whispered. ‘Completely certifiable if you think that I’d ever want to sign up for life with a man like you. A man so full of ego that he thinks a woman will get herself deliberately pregnant in order to trap him.’ ‘You think it’s never been done before?’ he scorned.

every time I saw her she was telling me about yet another one of her friends. “Would that really be so terrible?” Marlon's question pulled me from my thoughts. I took another swig of my whiskey. “As a matter of fact...yes.” “Why?” “Because those women don't marry for love. They marry for influence. Family connections. And Corporate mergers disguised as weddings.” Marlon shrugged. “And that's necessarily a bad thing?” I glanced toward him. “When I only intend to remain married for twelve months? Absolutely.” He nearly spat out his drink.

"What ? Do you think i might poison you as well ? I just needed a distraction the moment I got discharged till I come up with a plan to avoid this marriage."

"I simply changed my mind, if I can't have a happy love life then I don't want to be in an engaged marriage with someone more worse than my father. My father was kind enough to provide for my mother and I even though he was a bastard." She paused looking over at her phone. "I can't promise that Sinclair would be that kind and I can't promise that I'll be Sinclair's little possession. I'm not going to end up giving in my nightmares that I wish to avoid."

So I'm not the only one who doesn't like this setup. I know that even if they don't say what they are talking about it is really obvious that they are planning the future for us. That they reconcile us. "Same here. I never wanted this kind of set up." I answered him. Because even I don't like it.

Aria scoffed. "You must be crazy. You think I'll walk out of a marriage and run straight into another one? You're out of your mind." "Dad…" I trail off not knowing what to say. Did I want to tie the knots with Aria? Definitely. Did I want it to happen this way? Not at all.

No matter what you’re thinking, there’s no way you’ll be able to find someone who's willing to marry you in two months and won’t have ulterior motives.

“And I need something...” “I have a condition to “help you,” he says, cutting me off, I tell him to continue.” Don't get married, if she is in love it will help in the process of softening her image to her parents, and she will have me to confront and justify it.
