Katie's POVIt was a typical Sunday afternoon when our family gathered for lunch at our favorite restaurant. We were laughing and chatting, enjoying our time together, when Lily suddenly spoke up."Hey, do you guys remember that time when you were in a contract marriage?" she asked, casually taking a sip of her drink.Alex and I froze, exchanging a worried glance. We had hoped to keep that part of our past hidden from our children forever."What are you talking about, Lily?" Max asked, looking confused."Yeah, what contract marriage?" Emily chimed in, looking just as puzzled.Alex and I shared a look, knowing that it was time to come clean."Well, kids, your father and I weren't always in love," I began, taking a deep breath. "We were actually in a contract marriage.""A contract marriage?" Lily repeated, looking even more confused."Yes," Alex confirmed. "We got married because we needed to for business reasons. It was all part of a plan to help our companies succeed."The children l

Katie's POV As we sat in the small apartment, we knew that we had to do everything in our power to keep our loved ones safe. We couldn't risk putting them in danger by involving them in our plan to take down the organization."I don't want to involve Katie or the kids in this," Alex said firmly. "It's too dangerous.""I agree," I said. "But we have to be careful. We can't let the organization find out about our plan. They could come after our families.""Agreed," Andrew said, his expression serious. "We have to keep this between us."But even as we spoke, I couldn't help but worry about Emily. She was already in a fragile state, and I didn't know how she would react if she found out what we were doing."I think we need to keep an eye on Emily," I said, voicing my concerns. "She's been through a lot, and I don't know if she can handle this kind of stress."Alex nodded in agreement. "I'll talk to Katie and see if we can get her some extra support. Maybe a therapist or something.""I ca

Katie's POVThe next morning, we set out to meet with the organization again. This time, we were armed with a plan, and we were ready to take them down.As we entered the bar, I felt a knot form in my stomach. I knew that this was a dangerous game that we were playing, but I also knew that we didn't have any other options.The men were waiting for us, their faces grim and unsmiling. "Where's our money?" one of them demanded."We're working on it," Alex said smoothly. "But we need some more time. We're trying to get the funds together.""You have three days," the man said, his voice cold and menacing. "If you don't have the money by then, we'll come looking for you. And it won't be pretty."We left the bar, feeling a mix of relief and fear. We knew that the clock was ticking, and we had to come up with a plan fast."Let's go back to the apartment," I suggested. "We can talk there and figure out our next steps."Alex and Andrew nodded in agreement, and we made our way back to the apartm

Katie's POVWe set up the meeting in a seedy bar on the outskirts of town. Alex and I dressed in our best suits and arrived at the bar at the designated time. We were shown to a back room where a group of men were waiting for us."Welcome," one of them said. "I'm Nick. What can I do for you?""We're interested in doing business," Alex said smoothly. "We heard you guys were the best in town."Nick's eyes lit up. "Ah, I see. And what kind of business are you interested in?""We're looking for some merchandise," I said, playing the role of the interested buyer. "High-quality merchandise."Nick grinned. "Well, you've come to the right place. Follow me."He led us down a hallway and into a large room filled with all kinds of illegal goods. I tried not to look too interested as I browsed the wares, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust at the thought of the harm these items could do.Nick showed us a selection of items and we haggled over prices. We eventually settled on a few ite

But as soon as he moved in, things took a turn for the worse.Andrew became increasingly aggressive and unpredictable, lashing out at us over the smallest things. He was constantly on edge, as if he was expecting someone to come after him.One night, I woke up to the sound of shouting coming from the living room. I crept out of bed and peered through the doorway to see Andrew arguing with someone on the phone. His face was contorted with anger, and he was shouting so loudly that I could hear every word."You need to get me out of here," he yelled into the phone. "I can't take it anymore. They're on to me."I knew then that we had made a huge mistake by lettin

Katie's POVIt was a quiet Saturday afternoon when the doorbell rang. I was in the kitchen, preparing lunch for the family when I heard the chime. I wiped my hands on a towel and walked to the front door, wondering who could be stopping by unannounced.When I opened the door, I was surprised to see a tall, dark-haired man standing on my doorstep. He was well-dressed, wearing a tailored suit and a crisp white shirt, and his piercing blue eyes seemed to bore into mine."Can I help you?" I asked, feeling a sense of unease.The man flashed me a charming smile. "I'm sorry to intrude," he said. "My name is Andrew. I'm looking for Alex."I studied the man for a moment, trying to determine if he was telling the truth. "Who are you?" I asked."I'm a distant relative of Alex's," he said. "I've been trying to track him down for a while now."I was still skeptical, but something about the man's demeanor seemed genuine. "I'll go get him," I said.I left the man standing on the porch and walked bac

Katie's POVI never thought I would marry a billionaire, let alone enter into a contract marriage with one. But when life throws you a curveball, you either catch it or let it hit you in the face. And I had caught that curveball, or so I thought.It all started with a high-profile event that my boss had assigned me to plan. It was for Alexander Grey, the CEO of Grey Enterprises, and one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. He was a mystery to most people, but to me, he was just another client.I had everything under control, from the venue to the catering, until Alex walked into my office. He was tall, dark, and handsome, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through me. My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly composed myself and greeted him with a smile."Ms. Stone, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, extending his hand.I shook his hand, feeling a jolt of electricity shoot through my body. "Likewise, Mr. Grey. How can I assist you?""I was hoping we could di...
