The Royal Contract

They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time. Would their agreement fulfill their dreams, or would it end in a disastrous union?

Lying about that was easy for him. In this line of work, he had to be good at everything to save his skin. That included making excuses and lying to his teeth to get away with something.
"Then, can we count on you to check what they know and report back to us?" Mike questioned him as if he was giving him a choice.
However, he could tell that he had only one option. To do what they were asking him to do. He knew better than to cross them. Not until he guaranteed that he and his family would be safe.
"Of course, you can count on me to determine what they could possibly know. Dani believes that I am a friend." Samson tried to convince the man that his loyalty still lied to the organization and their boss.
