(Chapter Eighteen)
Part Two
The club was fully packed to the brim and Elizabeth had to squeeze past a few people before she finally got to the bar, Marcus on the other hand was finding it way harder as it had been a long time since he attended a club—by a long time he meant since his early college years,ever since he got his degree his life was fully thrown into ranching and he totally forgot one of the good pleasures of life—dancing with strangers to great music.
‘Should I get the bottle??'.The bartender muttered with a huge note of skepticism in his voice that made Elizabeth's cheeks rise with color of embarrassment,now that she thought about it,it was a long time since she had a drink....and by a long time she meant two days and fifteen minutes.
‘Nah I'll just have a margarita instead'.She finally responded, blatantly ignoring the tall and hunky man w

**The Marriage Clause**(Chapter Nineteen)Part TwoThere was a dead man on the ground, there was the bloated corpse of a man right on the ground. Marcus couldn't find anything to say as he stared right at the horrendous sight, the flies didn't make things feel any better and the putrid smell was way worse than anything he could infer. Elizabeth quickly shut her eyes as her eyes also came in contact with the corpse in front of her, confusion ran through her head as to what was happening and it all made her feel faint in the head.....this was the most horrific dead body she had ever seen, it even took the position of seeing her own father's body in the hospital.‘Are you Marcus Sheldon? Sheriff Yates of the Gremlin county department here, it's nice to meet you. A very tall man who was probably in his fifties, as related to the silver lining in his very sleek black hair which made him look like a character from &lsquo

**The Marriage Clause**(Chapter Twenty)Part TwoTwo days passed and the ranch was back to full power ignoring the problems that was the dead body found days earlier,it was the sheriff's problem now.Elizabeth was also busy as she found a new hobby which was gardening, she noticed how bland the house looked with the empty flowerpots and decided to take it upon herself—well she was bored and was about selling her company for a very good price, she didn't need to work she realized, she needed to put herself and her mental health first.....which was why she was going to see Dr Cheryl today,the therapist recommended to her by Carl—he had contacts for everything.Marcus watched her from a distance and a smile almost crossed his lips but he managed to suppress it which resulted in just a crooked smirk,her ambience had changed he noticed.The negative tension between them had died down,it has been two days and they ha

**The Marriage Clause**(Chapter Twenty-One)Part TwoIt was the middle of the night and still Marcus couldn't find his sleep,the air-conditioning was faulty and it was summer which brought an intense amount of heat especially in his room—but that was only part the reason why he couldn't sleep,the kiss he shared with Elizabeth completed it.He groaned incessantly as he tried to catch even though it was a little bit of sleep,he just couldn't and the sound he heard coming from the kitchen didn't make it easier.There was a dead man found on his ranch and he wasn't taking any chances,so he grabbed his rifle which once belonged to his father from under the bed,checked for bullets and then beaded down the stairs slowly.The creaking boards didn't help matters and he wondered why the thief didn't notice until he got to the kitchen and turned on the lights—it wasn't a thief—It was his dear wife eating an ice crea
