Contractual Marriage 101: What To Do When You're Engaged With a Genius
Aria Sallow thinks her life sucks. Everyday when she wakes up, she will think to herself, Oh yeah, I'm miserable because I'm engaged to a man I've never met before.
On her thirteenth birthday, her family broke the news to her:
'Aria, there's something we would like to talk about with you,' her father said with a hint of nervousness in his tones while he watched his daughter eat her chocolate flavoured birthday cake happily.
'What is it?'
'You know our family is more... well off than others right?'
'Ya. My friends say that to me everyday.'
'Well, when your grandpa was still the head of Sallow Industries, he encountered a crisis and-'
'Um, I don't think i need to know this. Besides, if this is another if your long, boring lectures you might as well save it because it's my birthday today,' Aria interrupted.
Her dad sighed.
'Let me finish. As i was saying, he encountered a crisis and he would've gone bankrupt,' he paused for dramatic effect, 'If Roland Mo, the previous head of the Mo Entertainment Company had not lent a helping hand. You follow?'
'Uh-huh.'
'Good. Anyways, your grandpa was very grateful towards the Mo family, so he made a promise to them,' He paused again, but not to entice her daughter.
'Then what? Wait, are you just shaming grandpa for no being a good CEO? He's in the living room, at least say it to his face,' she joked.
'...Just don't get mad at me when you hear this. So, your grandfather might have promised the next female Sallow will be engaged to the Mo's current heir. And you are that female,' His voice shrunk with every sentence.
It took a moment for her to process this. 'WHATTTT??!'
...
And so, Aria decided she will end the engagement that will be invalid when she was 20. However, she started to had second thoughts when the two met.
Huh, maybe it isn't that bad to be engaged with this jerk.
