Love In Contract Novels & Stories

I am not going to let him have the upper hand. “I am surprised you have the energy to marry someone, you look like you are going to kill over very soon. What is wrong with you, AIDS?” I mocked and watched as the cocky look disappeared from his face to be replaced with a hardened look. I wasn’t done. I leaned in to mutter my words. “Kamaria will never love you because I have her heart, I have always had her heart,” I whispered and when I leaned back and smirked at him before turning to the others, I picked out Bobby with my eyes. “None of you is going to stop me from seeing Kamaria, she is the only one who can and until she says otherwise I will be seeing her, have a nice day,” I nodded at th

“No, Leo, he was cold. He was just doing a business deal. He threw me out when he thought I cheated him out of the money.” Leo managed a small, tired smile. “But you didn’t cheat him. You got the money. He paid. You found the love that made the money real, Elara. The love that paid the ten million. Go find that love. The one that stayed with you when the contract broke.” His words, so simple, yet so profound, hit me like a revelation. He was telling me that the act of giving that much security, that much care, even in a contract, had to come from a place of good, a place of potential love.

I muttered under my breath. “Excuse me.” “Nothing.” I said getting up to leave his office. “One more thing,” he announced, and I turned to hear what he had to say. “You're not allowed to fall in love with me, it's part of the contract, once you do, the contract will be terminated and you'll receive no benefits, except, of course, if the child is born.” “I assure you, that wouldn’t happen.” I responded and left his office. I'm not allowed to fall in love with him? Like anyone would want to fall for a nonchalant ass like him. This contract should be as easy as a pie, right?

“These are the rules of the contract. Go through it and let me know when you think.” I swallowed hard, eyes darted around the black and white ink. NO LOVE. It was in bold letters , yet that was my mission. Get him to fall in love with me in three months. Mere looking at him, one can tell that he is emotionally unavailable. Would I succeed? But we have to convince everyone that we are in love and I need to perform Luna duties diligently. No one knows that we are in a contract marriage. No invading one's privacy or personal relationship.

I said. "It's the law." One of the lawyers—a severe woman in her fifties—stepped forward. "I'm Margaret Chen, your lead counsel. And we have a problem. The burden of proof is on you to show your marriage meets Nina Cross's criteria for 'genuine love.' Richard's team will argue the contract invalidates any feelings that developed." "But we admitted the contract. We were honest." "And that honesty may cost you everything." She pulled up documents on her tablet. "Nina's will specifically state the inheritance goes to someone who 'understands the transformative power of real, unconditional love.' The lawyers who drafted it included provisions to prevent exactly what you did, a contractual marria

“What does that mean mommy? Come on tell me” “That they will enforce the 'Marriage Contract' as soon as possible. Luna gets up with a crying face. “There's no mommy. Not that"! “Forgive me my daughter, but there is no way your father can refuse. This contract was signed many years ago and we all knew that one day it would happen”. Luna cries and does not accept the situation. “Mom helps me. I don't want to marry a stranger I don't love." “I cannot my soul”.

My head rests on his chest, listening to the thud of his heartbeat slowing down. "That was—" He can't finish. "Yeah." "We just violated the contract." "Multiple times." His laugh is low. Surprised. Like a rusty hinge working loose. "What happens now?" "I don't know. The contract doesn't cover this. Elena didn't write a clause for 'what to do after you fall in love with your contractual fiancée.'" "Is that what this is? Love?" He's quiet for a long moment. Then: "I think it has been for a while. I just didn't want to admit it."

“But no matter how horrible the world paints me, in my heart, you’re still my most treasured person.” “And you’re so quick to judge me. What about you? Have you ever loved me?” “I’ve always loved you, okay?” Nina explained hastily. “Because I was afraid of the contract clause, I always acted distant.” Their relationship was bound by a contract that forbade them from falling in love. How could she dare reveal her emotions knowing the consequences? “And how do you know it wasn’t me who fell first?” Jayden’s question pierced through the tension. Nina was stunned, her mouth falling agape, when she heard Jayden’s unexpected words. Seeing her moist lips, Jayden was tempted to take a bite.

She opens it and her eyes widen in shock as she reads the front. "Contract of Conceptual Agreement of Matrimony." She covers her mouth and looks toward the door, hoping no one is by the door to catch her. She begins to read and realizes the importance of the document. This is too good to let pass. She takes her phone out and begins to snap pictures of the document and sends it to herself in an email and to a different address.

She said and walked in closing her door behind her. What the hell did she get herself into? She sighed. What kind of a man is Dario, he didn't even find the courtesy of bringing her home and introducing her to everyone like every normal couple would do, He was the one who wrote in their contract that no one was allowed to find out that this marriage is a contract. She knew his attitude was a bad one— an arrogant, rude, heartless bastard but she didn't believe he would abandon his son like this.
