Silence… “Cut the crap man, you and I know I don't love her. The wedding arrangement was obviously for the public’s eye,” Stefan said.

I obeyed, my heart racing. He bent his head forward and stared at me. "I won't waste your time. I have a proposal for you." My brows furrowed. "A proposal?" “A marriage contract, " he said, like it was the most usual thing in the world. "One year. After that, it ends." I stared at him, stunned. "You can't be serious." "I'm very serious." His gaze didn't falter. "This agreement will be mutually useful." I shook my head. "I can't agree to that, I barely even know you."

Stefan It felt like a trapdoor had opened up underneath me. I stood there holding the phone to my ear, trying to make sense of what she'd just said. The buyer had a representative, and all the paperwork was being done over wires and faxes—as old-fashioned as the latter sounded.

James's plan was quite clear, he was desperate, "Fine, I'll do it. But I need to know a few things first, it's part of the job, just basic data." "God," he sighed relieved: "You don't know how grateful I am." "I need to prepare some papers... and some other things." James nodded. The large, white office was quiet compared to other days.

It didn't take long to finalize and close the deal, and based on the paperwork and everything that went with it, she could safely say it was a sure thing and reliable.

Perhaps within the darkness, there was a loophole, a weakness they could exploit. The figure laughed, a sound that echoed through the chamber. "A brave choice," it rasped.

Dylan greeted in response, slowly coming to a stop. "How can I help you?" he asked dryly, seeing as she made no further statement. "I'm here for you to review my Cheshire Deal" she beamed happily as she said it. Dylan sighed and closed his eyes. "How many times will I have to go over that deal?" he asked sternly, his face void of expressions. "It has been revised, Sir" Selina said loudly, trying her best to appeal to Dylan to go over the deal one more time. He exhaled and turned back to his chair. After sitting down, he extended his hand for her to hand over the file to him. She handed it over excitedly and stood in front of him with her hands clasped behind her.

He said moving in my direction “Can we slow down for a minute? We don’t have to dance if you dont want It is not fair to you..” I voiced out trying to see if I get a quick glance at my phone to see if I have gotten any new update from Xain “A deal is a deal Darling And I am not one to dishonor a deal besides I think it going to fun” He said not in anyway bulging “I get it I really do But you realize that we made that deal when I was a bit tipsy so I don’t think it is even valid in the presence of the court

"So what do you say? Do you accept devils deal belle?" ".......okay......but...first I need to know what's inside it...that's so .... important...?"

He cleaned his throat before saying " You are not getting it Jeevika. We made a deal between us. The deal not only includes I fucking you but also you staying in my house. And on a serious note, I don't like any sort of changes after the deal is sealed, especially from the second party! " " Ohh! You treat me nice and well all because I'm a second party in the deal. I thought we were more than just deal partners. Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding.
