Nathaniel arrived home and headed straight to Olivia's room, to his dismay Olivia was there. He opened the door to her art studio but she wasn't there either. "Wao" he exclaimed as he shut the door. He decided to check garden, his footsteps almost silent on the cobblestone path. He spotted Olivia standing by a cluster of vibrant flowers, her eyes fixed on the blossoms as if lost in thought. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the scent of the garden's blooms filled the air.With a mischievous look in his eye, Nathaniel couldn't resist the urge to startle her, and so he approached quietly. As he drew nearer, he cleared his throat in a playful attempt to grab her attention.Olivia jumped slightly, her hand landing on her chest as she let out a surprised gasp. Then, realizing it was Nathaniel. "You enjoy sneaking up on me, don't you?"Nathaniel smiled as he replied, "I can't resist the urge to startle someone as captivating as you."Olivia chuckled, her playful annoyance giving way t

As Nathaniel climbed the stairs, the thoughts of how to approach the impending conversation with Olivia filled his mind He had resolved to bridge the gap between them and find a way to make their contract marriage work for both of them. However, the specifics of how to initiate that discussion remained a difficult task to him. "How am I supposed to start?" He asked himself as he rested his body on the way with his hands in his pocket. "Olivia, I know this isn't what you bargained for. I didn't signed for that either, I didn't even see this coming but everything had to turn this way. Can you just agree to this, please? I'll pay any amount you wish for an..d".He stopped again, removing his hand from his pocket, "but that would just be a selfish plan. There would be no point in including money to the deal, I don't think it's enough to convince her besides, that would sound too selfish of me."Just as he reached the top of the staircase, his phone buzzed in his pocket, interrupting his i

With all said, Nathaniel settled into his room after his conversation with Olivia. He knew that addressing the issue of their contract marriage couldn't be postponed indefinitely, but he also realized the importance of giving Olivia the time and space she needed to come to terms with it. As he closed the door behind him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation mixed with a touch of anxiety about the upcoming meeting. "Should I be expecting a yes or a no from her?" He asked himself as he lowered his shoulders. "Maybe, I don't know". He proceeded to making himself comfortable at his desk, his laptop sat illuminated, and his email notifications continued to blink. It wasn't long before a message from his secretary caught his attention. The subject line read, "Important Meeting Tomorrow." With a sigh, Nathaniel clicked on the email to read the details. His secretary, Emily, had scheduled an early morning meeting that was marked as "urgent." The message outlined the agenda and p

Nathaniel walked into the dining room with a heavy heart, his mind still occupied with the conversation he had just had with the agency and the weight of the decision he was contemplating. He had hoped to find some rest or distraction at home, but instead, he was greeted by Olivia's sudden departure from the dining table. "But she isn't done with her meals. Why does she want to leave?" He asked silently.He watched as Olivia hastily pushed her plate aside and stood up, her chair scraping against the floor, the sound echoing in the room with an uncomfortable tension. Her eyes, once warm and inviting, were now guarded, her features betraying a mix of emotions. perhaps even a touch of anger.The silence between them hung in the air like a heavy cloud, suffocating any attempt at casual conversation. Nathaniel wanted to explain, to share the weight of his decision with her, but the words caught in his throat. How could he possibly convey the complexity of the situation?Olivia's swift exit

Olivia entered Nathaniel's room, her eyes fixed onto his as she raised the difficult topic at hand. "Nathaniel," she began, her voice steady, "I read through the contract again, and I understand that we can terminate it with mutual consent. But I need to know why you want to terminate it now."Nathaniel met her gaze, his expression guarded. "Olivia," he replied, his tone measured, "the initial purpose of this contract was to help both of us achieve our goals. I've fulfilled my part by supporting your artistic career and settling your family's debts. But lately, I feel like you're not fully committed to helping me with my business dealings."Olivia frowned, her brows furrowing in confusion. "What do you mean? I've been maintaining appearances as your with you just as the contract stipulates. But I can't jeopardize my principles or ethical values for any business deal."Nathaniel leaned back in his chair, his gaze unwavering. "I understand your principles, Olivia, and I respect them. Bu
