契约 Novels & Stories

I said the second my secretary picked up. Within seconds, Jeremy was on the line. "Mr. Voss. Morning." "The Milan deal," I said. "I want those contracts signed and delivered to my office today. No delays." I needed to conclude the Milan deal today and move on to the next deal. "Understood, sir. Everything has been finalized on their end. The courier is en route." "Good." I hung up without saying goodbye. I didn’t have time for pleasantries. Especially not today. There was a board meeting in about two hours. And we had to discuss a potential acquisition of a wine company that had been on our radar for months. They were family owned, prestigious, French and expensive.

ARTICLE I: TERMS OF SURRENDER Party A (Alexander Grayson) hereby acknowledges and legally stipulates that he has been entirely, hopelessly, and irrevocably conquered by Party B (Eliana Grayson). ARTICLE II: CONCESSIONS Party A surrenders all assets, sanity, pride, and devotion to Party B for the remainder of his natural life. Furthermore, Party A swears to protect, worship, and provide for Party B and any offspring resulting from this union, utilizing all lethal and financial means necessary. ARTICLE III: RENEWAL This contract is non-negotiable, binding in all jurisdictions of heaven and hell, and permanently irrevocable. Tears pricked the corners of my eyes. It was arrogant, ridiculous, int

A Persian rug covered the floor, and a low wooden table stood in the center, holding a printed contract, a red fabric bracelet, and two crystal glasses. "This is the introduction room. Here, no one is touched. Here, we speak, we listen, and we choose." Lauren sat when he indicated the velvet sofa. Yusuf stood before her, hands crossed behind his back. "What you are about to sign is not legally binding. It is symbolic. But it carries the weight of commitment between parties. Here, everything is based on three pillars: consent, trust, and surrender. Without any one of them… everything crumbles." She picked up the paper, her eyes scanning the text.

He couldn't help but asked in wonder, “What's this?” “A contract” Feng Shaotian answered with crescent eyes. “Are you taking me as a slave?!” Jiang Fu growled angrily, as he thought that Feng Shaotian don't have any trust on him or that Feng Shaotian was mocking him. “I'm not taking you as a slave but as a subordinate. The contract is my way to make everyone who's close to me truly loyal and would never ever betray my trust. It's your decision to sign it or not, I'm doing this because It's what I think better” Feng Shaotian bluntly said.

“I would recommend that you leave some of them. If they truly are that rare, it might be good to have some of them left for the future.” Queen Ayesha smiled at me. “It looks like we have a deal.” She said. “Unfortunately, I can’t afford to just take your word for it. We’ve been working too hard to get screwed over at the finish line.” I nodded. “I understand that you don’t trust me. You just met me.”I replied. “If we draw a contract then? Would that perhaps make you more comfortable with my word?” Queen Ayesha smirked at me and pulled out a paper and a pen. She started squabbling on the paper. I waited patiently until she had jotted down her conditions, then she turned the paper to me.

In disbelief, I let out a soft gasp as I started to read through one of the forged agreements. "I, Brandon Henderson, hereby acknowledge that I have entered into an agreement today, being the 13th of June, with Emma Coleman. It is agreed that, in addition to the payment of seventy thousand dollars for the kidney Emma sold to me, I have made a commitment to marry Emma Coleman and provide ongoing financial support. This document serves as evidence of our agreement, and Emma Coleman reserves the right to take legal action against me if I fail to fulfill my obligation to marry her." .

He gently wiped his eyes as he cleared his throat. "If I don't only have chosen to find someone for the contract, I would have already freed you, but in these circumstances, you are already linked to me, the moment I let you have my blood to save you that night, is like signing the contract." My eyebrows arched as I tried to scrutinize his words. Contract what? His blood to save me? What is he talking about? "Take this as my advance apology. " He handed me a book. As I focused my eyes on it, I can't help but widened it. I snatched it from his hands then hugged it tightly.

"Not a new vow. The original vow?" "The contract," Sorin confirmed. "The terms you signed in the limo. The formal language of that document, spoken by both of you. Freely. In open moonlight." He paused. "The prophecy anticipated the bond — but it was written before fated mate bonds were common. In the original context, *contracted* meant exactly what it sounds like. A formal agreement. The prophecy is tied to the legal structure of your union, not just the emotional one." Ryder had been very still through this.

"I'm willing to do whatever it is as long as my father can get good treatment and come back healthy." "Deals?" The woman stretched out her hand. The feeling of extreme joy in her heart made the woman immediately return the handshake. "Deal," she said very clearly. A piece of paper was taken out by the woman from her bag. "As a sign that this agreement is valid and agreed by both parties, you must sign it here." Without thinking long and without reading what was on the piece of paper, Lilyana immediately scratched the pen ink onto the white surface of the paper. A signature was already there, clearly marked.

While Cassian stood at the head with a commanding and controlling aura. “This claim has no legal standing”, one of the lawyers said confidently. “Children can't be bound to a business agreement”. “Unless”, another added slowly, “the engagement contract included a future heir clause”. My heart skipped. Cassian's eyes darkened and he squeezed his fists in rage. “She wouldn't dare”, he said. “Mmmh…she already has”, the lawyer replied, looking through the brim of his eye glass and sliding a document forward. I stared at the paper. It was written and stamped in Korean. It was official.
