The Contract Lover Novel Novels & Stories

Please confirm attendance. I stare at the screen. Three months. I hadn’t even realised. Three months since the contract started. Three months since a blind date and a penthouse office and a document with a no feelings clause that neither of us has managed to follow for a single day. The review is supposed to be routine. Professional. Two people in an office confirming the arrangement is working and adjusting terms if necessary. Except nothing about us is routine anymore. And when I walk into that office Monday morning and sit

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 watch the clock until 11:47 PM, my fingers tracing the digital copy of the contract Lucien has already sent to my email. Clause 4: Discretion. The Bride shall not interfere with the Groom’s external associations. Clause 9: Possession. Upon signing, the Bride becomes a resident of the Vale Estate. Failure to comply results in the immediate reinstatement of all charges against George Blackwood. He doesn't just want my hand; he wants to isolate me. At 1:20 AM, my phone chimes. A text arrives from the same "Unknown" number that has been haunting me. “The courthouse side entrance. Five minutes. Don’t be late, Lo. George is already in the holding cell.”

I walked towards her, my hand still wrapped in the towel. She stretched it towards me as I placed the towel down. “they left it behind. Looks like a contract” she said. “Contract?” I opened it up, flipping through it slowly. I felt my eyes were deceiving me, at the same time, I felt I was seeing something which appeared as an opportunity, an opportunity to get me out of everything I was going through…. A contract marriage for 5 million dollars?

She read the first page standing right there between the shelves. Then she read it again. Then she flipped to the second page and read that too. Her hand was very still on the paper. A marriaged contract. Formal and legal and signed by both parties. Christopher Sterling and Celine. Terms outlined clearly. The arrangement. The duration. The expectations from both sides. A contract marriage.Why was this even here? Cassia stood in that cold records room and felt something shift inside her. Something that started as shock and moved quickly into something else entirely.

Chemistry and tension roped us in, the invisible strings wrapping around us, and I knew this time I’d have her. The moments stretched into eternity and, as if she could see the resolution in my eyes, Autumn averted her gaze. Something told me I had never stood a chance against this woman. Everything in the last four years led us here, to this very moment. Her parents would come after me but they’d never win. She’d been mine from the moment we locked gazes. As if she could hear my thoughts, Autumn slid another glance my way. Hesitation. Caution. Fear?

There was a stone pressing against her chest so tightly that it made Jenifer's chest tight. Jenifer then removed the IV on her wrist. She walked towards the hospital balcony, the wind was pretty strong and she could see how high her inpatient room was. Once again, images of betrayal from Erdward flashed through her mind. Jenifer really never expected that Erdward, the man she loved so much, would have the heart to commit such betrayal, having an affair with another woman, and driving her out in a terrible way. Even thousands of pleas from Jenifer were ignored, as if Jenifer was unneeded rubbish.

But then, the other weird things hadn’t happened like I had seen it that time. I thrust her until I felt she was about to let it all out on me. But I still didn’t stop as I felt her body shaking all over again. I wanted to see her while she exploded, and I still wasn’t going to stop afterward. It felt like that would be the last time I would ever get the chance to sink deep into her tender warmth. I felt the need to explore it as much as I could as it felt like nothing I had ever experienced. I wasn’t sure when I would get the opportunity to do that as we were in a contract marriage and that moment just happened without any forewarning.

I pleaded. “Catherine, my counterpart has tried that, but it seems you are the big barrier between Angela and that dude. I believe that when you die, his concentration will be on Angela only. Moreover, you breached your contract as well.” “wha…What contract?” “You were to find his lover and not fall in love with him, you tried your best but fell in love with him. I have talked a lot. I need to kill you now.” “How did you know I was coming here?”

Lily sat at the coffee shop, sipping her latte and scrolling through her phone. She had always loved this place – the cozy atmosphere, the smell of fresh coffee, and the sound of the barista's steaming milk. It was her safe haven, her escape from the chaos of her life.
