She felt the weight of every gaze as couples mingled, their hands intertwined, their smiles bright. A knot formed in her stomach; she had come alone, fully aware of the unspoken theme of the evening. Irene, she was responsible for this. Her eyes darted across the room, her heart beating wildly in her chest. Then she spotted Irene, her biggest rival. Irene stepped into the room wearing a stunning, form-fitting red dress that hugged her curves perfectly, accentuating her figure. She paired it with strappy black heels that added height and elegance to her look.

A delicate silver necklace adorned her neck, catching the light as she moved, completing her striking appearance. Irene looked good and sh
CHAPTER 5 Matt turned to the counter and gestured to the bartender to refill his glass. " My mom would be thrilled.....she has been on my neck for a while now " he stated simply. " Oh....I see, what are the rules ?"She asked nervously He dropped his glass on the counter and turned to face her, his face bearing no expression at all. " This might be a contract marriage but you are still going to be my wife meaning you belong to me both your body and your soul for as long as the contract says " His words sent a chill down her spine, and a smile suddenly crept to her face.......oh Good Lord what was she thinking? she should be scared but something about belonging to him actually made her excited.

( 2 days later ) Ivy sat on her couch in her living room , deep in thought. Wilson's words kept reminiscing in her head. She sighed out of frustration as her phone buzzed, she checked the caller ID, it was Mary her personal assistant. " Good day Mary " She said " Good morning ma'am, have you checked the Stats?

CHAPTER 3 ( The Next Day ) " What took you so long? I got drunk and got into this mess because of you! " Ivy said, fuming. " Babe relax, I'm sorry I didn't know we would eventually leave for his house plus I was drunk as well" Emily said, trying to defend herself. Ivy sighed and sat down on the nearby couch. " I'm sorry for yelling, I'm just worried this might get out to the press plus I don't even know him, how the heck did I sleep with someone I don't know.......wait a minute, what if he tries to blackmail me? " Ivy asked, her heart pounding. " Relax, have you forgotten your best friend is an attorney? I've got your back " Emily said, as she gave her a reassuring smile. That was true, there was no way he could blackmail her when she had one of the top attorneys beside her. Ivy's pounding heart died down and she finally smiled. " So.....how was it? " " How was what? " she asked with a raised eyebrow. " You know......did you enjoy it? And don't tell me you didn't, co
