The Contract Lover Novel Novels & Stories

But this wasn’t supposed to happen. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about Damien. I pressed my hands over my face and groaned softly. “You’ve really done it now, Cara.” The contract was supposed to be simple: stay married for a while, keep up appearances, get the money I needed for Caleb’s hospital bills and then quietly disappear when it was over. But somewhere between pretending and surviving, I’d stopped acting. Now, I was the one who was lost. I needed to think. Or at least breathe.

But Henry was already gone, vanished into the night with a secret that would change everything. Chapter 1 “He's mine.” The courtroom fell silent as I stood, my voice echoing off the walls. “You're a liar and a cheat. And he doesn't deserve such an asshole as a father.” I spat, my eyes blazing with untamed fury. My soon to be ex-husband, sneered. "You're one to talk, Maddie. You're the one who's been sleeping around with God knows how many men. That's how you can scrape a bit of money to take care of him using that excuse of a company as a cover-up. He doesn't deserve a slut for a mother!”

"I still don't get it. You were only married by contract, and I'm sure your mother did this because she didn't approve of your marriage. Shouldn't you be happy when she asks for a divorce? Especially since you can replace her with a famous model. What's got you down?" "I wasn't depressed, it's just that I felt bad for not listening to her explanation then. She even cried and said she never cheated on me. In fact, I was the first man to ever touch her. That's why my feelings are all over the place right now. I don't know, I don't understand my own heart." Alex did not continue. He looked at Nicholas' suddenly changed expression and finally realized something. "I know! You are falling in love

he corrected me. “I’m sorry, but I don’t fully understand this. What do you mean?” I asked nervously. I felt like I was about to cry. “Perhaps you’d understand if you read it,” he told me and before I could understand what he meant, he opened a black notepad on the table and took out a document. He handed it to me and I took it with a shaky hand and read. It was a contract! A contract stating I would be in a sexual affair with him and run his house, like a mistress. Not a girlfriend. Not the love of his life. A mistress. A whore he paid to satisfy him!!!

The memory of it—and the way we seemed completely infatuated with each other—flooded my thoughts as if it had just happened yesterday. Shaking my head, I got up and walked to the kitchen. I needed a glass of water to clear my mind, but even as I drank, the images refused to fade. “Well, Rachel,” I muttered to myself, “instead of overthinking all this, why don’t you just forfeit the contract and leave the show—or plan for the wedding?” I poured myself a glass of water, trying to shake off the thoughts swirling in my head. But just as I was about to take a sip, the glass slipped from my hand, shattering on the floor.

she said in a high-pitched tone. “I understand how you feel, but do you realize it was a contract? I mean, I need to keep to its terms. We're almost one month gone. After five months, she'd leave, I promise,” Liam explained calmly. “But she could live elsewhere and still be your wife on the papers. Don't you think so?” His ex suggested. “What if she gets abducted? Her welfare is my concern, although she's just a contracted wife.” Liam replied. “Don’t tell me you're falling for her already. Do you still love me?” She grew more furious this time.

“Please read and sign this.” He took the file from her hands, staring at her while unrolling it slowly. As his eyes turned down and scanned the title on the front page, a dark chuckle escaped his lips. His gaze shot back to her, searching her face for any hint of sarcasm or mockery but she stood there calmly and completely serious. The title read: Contract Marriage “Are you kidding me?” Damien’s voice was low and dangerous as his anger simmered just below the surface. The mere sight of the words made him feel as if a fire had been lit inside him and ready to burn the entire world to the ground.

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.

“You are my wife and not some fling. Living in the same house makes me feel like I am disrespecting you, our contract and marriage. I promised to give you everything you wanted in a marriage, and this is just the beginning…l got us a house and it is in your name. So, the property is yours, whether you divorce me or not.
