RULE NUMBER ONE: Don't You Fall in Love
"There should be rules if we are even going to do this," he said without looking at me.
"I have always lived by the rules."
He slid a file towards me. "This is the contract. The rules are stated there."
I opened the file and glanced through it.
"You can take it home and study them; give me feedback tomorrow evening. But I will read out the rules for you now because they start now, and in case your brain can't comprehend them, then I can explain."
Anger seethed through me, and I almost threw the file back at him, but when I thought about the money involved and how it would benefit little Sophie, I bit my lower lip to push back the anger. He continued.
"Rule number one; don't you fall in love with me." His eyes flipped up to me.
"Crystal clear," I said. "That would never happen."
Ellen never had fun in college. One night she decided to have fun with her friends and slept with a handsome stranger who disappeared before she woke up. A month later, she found out she was pregnant and searched everywhere for him, but to no avail. Five years later, she moved to a new city and met the same man she never thought she would ever see again. He didn't remember anything about her, and he was now a cold, arrogant man who needed a wife, and she needed money. They agreed to contract marriage with strict rules, one of them being never to fall in love with each other. They were sure they wouldn't break the rule, but as sparks grew between them and became too much, they found themselves trying hard to keep to the rules.
Who will break rule number one between them?
