I didn't just sign this because of the money, I signed this because I didn't really have a choice. After coming back two years ago, my father blocked all parts for me to get a job. No company would hire me even with my excellent results, I wasn't getting a job, I wasn't getting any experience and I wasn't interested in getting married so I knew this would not affect me. As soon as I was done, we headed to the court and before I could decipher what was going on, I was married to this man, Alexander Michaelson. Getting back to his place, I heard someone shout.

I accept out of spite, drinking it while Lucien works on his laptop like I'm not there. Thirty minutes in, I break the silence. "How many couples will be there?" "Eight, including us." "Do they all have real marriages?" His fingers pause on the keyboard. "Define real." "Marriages that started without contracts." "Most marriages are contracts, Mara. Some are just more honest about it." "That's bleak." "That's reality." He returns to typing. "James and Victoria Worthington married to merge family fortunes.

“Your marriage is fake! Oh my goodness! I can't believe this is really happening. Someone should pinch me so that I can at least wake up from this unbelievable dream!” Liam gazed at his wristwatch and he murmured some words on his lips. “A marriage of convenience.

We could be quite the couple, don’t you think? On paper at least.” “You mean, a marriage of convenience?” We wouldn't be the first people to do that. It was actually quite common, a paper marriage.

“Kind of killed the party vibe. And besides…” I let the silence draw out, savoring her frustration. “It wasn’t a real wedding anyway.

It's business." “Does it sound like business when you are with him?” The question surprised her, memories of Alexander’s hand against her waist, his lips lightly touching hers, the warmth of his eyes that had appeared so genuine in front of others. "I... it's complicated."

Actually, it's a marriage contract. Of course, to my family we must show that we are in love, but in reality we will never get involved. A marriage of convenience, nothing more than that.

“It’s not like it’s a marriage for love. Salvatore doesn’t have to feel anything to marry. He only needs to say yes and fuck his bride, perhaps father a kid or two, and keep his wife alive as long as we want peace with the Famiglia.
