This Contract Is Sealed Novels & Stories

"I don't have the documents here and we need witnesses maybe you'll stop by the office tomorrow with a witness and we can sign the contract." She nodded. "Can I get part of the money now?" She asked hopefully "We've not signed it yet, Diane."

He handed her the money and her face lit up a little. "Thanks." She turned and left. ____________________________________ Heading back to the hospital she took time to think about what happened, what she did after Andrew phone call.

“Effective immediately.” My hand didn’t shake. I was almost disappointed in myself for how little ceremony the moment required — after everything, I’d half expected the universe to mark it somehow. Instead, it was just a pen, a signature, and a woman who finally had her name attached to something that couldn’t be taken back at a dinner party. “There’s a team assembling in the conference room,” Richard said, sliding the contract into a folder. “They’ve been briefed generally. Not specifically. That part is yours to handle.”

I stood and walked into the kitchenette. “Send the contract,” I said quietly. “It is already in your email. Sign and return within the hour.

"Everything that will be said here tonight, stays here. Not even your mate is to know before the time is right." Michelle starts handing out the contracts and I see everyone's faces morph into various stages of shock as they read it. "What the hell is this, Alpha?" Shawn, who is in charge of construction asks. "It's a contract stating that if you break the non-disclosure the penalty will be death." I continue. "If you feel like that isn't for you, you will be stripped of your position right now and you are free to walk away. You can go and enjoy your life without ever having to know what was spoken in this very room."

I agree to any and all physical testing listed in the interview and video. Taji read as his blood began to boil at everything he was reading.

Valeria shrugged her shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't trust me. Just let the police have a look at the contract. I know you're worried about me, but you should be fine with the police, right?" Ronald and Hayden's men handed their contracts to the police. They took it and looked at it. "There's nothing wrong with the contract." "Nothing wrong?" Valeria tilted her head and took a serious look. "No, the seal on the contract is wrong..." "What's wrong?"
