The Marriage Agreement: Mr. Ceo has got a new wife.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT.] ________ "Sometimes it takes two opposites to make a whole." *** Stephanie is an impoverished adult, for whom, no matter how hard she tries to work, she is always in debt. Life is simple with her grandmother, but once they receive a lease, she throws away her pride and accepts the Marriage proposal from the notorious C.E.O, Oliver Black.  The only problem is, Stephanie did not know that she was virtually selling her soul to a devil.  _______ EXPERT: "You will be my wife." Stephanie's eyes widened, the man was speaking utter nonsense. She waited for him to laugh, to say that he was simply being humorous but his expression was stoned. “Excuse me?” She blinked, taken aback, “Are you insane? You can not possibly be sane if that is what I heard you say.”  The man continued to scribble on the paper, disinterested in the girl’s outburst. “You will marry me, I fell in love with you, my assistant.” He said casually as if it was somewhat ordinary.  Steph grasped her knees, “This is sending me insane. I did not sign for this. I will not be one of your subjects.” “Trust me, shortcake, I wouldn’t want you to be. Bite-size isn't my type." He opened his desk drawer and searched through his files, took out a folder and placed it in front of the enraged girl, "I thought you would be a little more excited that you're being hired."  "Hired? Is this what this is? How is marriage a part of this position? I was assigned to be an assistant."   "And you will be." He leaned back into his chair and crossed his legs, "Like I said, you will be an assistant whom I fell in love with. Sweet office romance, a story everyone loves." He then sighed once staring at Steph's blank expression, "I am being blackmailed. A rumor is supposedly to be released about me where I can possibly lose my company if it were to escalate. I do not have much time. If you open that file you will have the information on Samantha Campbell she is the one trying to sue me," He huffed, a regretful snicker on his face. "It was only a one night stand, however she was just begging for more. I told you, women find me rather appealing." And with that agreement came rules. "But one thing to add if you are to agree," His expression turned serious, his grey eyes dark and casted, "Do not fall in love with me. I will not return it. This is strictly business, no strings attached. Do not expect me to fall for you.”   *The cover does not belong to me. Credits goes out to the rightful owner.

The Prologue

'Was it reprehensible to marry someone you are not in love with?'

 

'And when it is someone you know nothing about?'

 

'There is nothing wrong with this, definitely nothing.' Stephanie tried to convince herself, but nothing she would say would make such a situation ordinary. Quite simply there was nothing ordinary about it.

 

It was happening. Two people who shared no love for each other, engaged and to be married.

 

"Will you be my wife, Stephanie Anderson?" The man asked and at first she didn't think it was real but now that he was down on one knee she couldn't help but think about that devilish on his face. He too had no intention of love.

 

Steph would be married, he would be her husband but yet not her husband at all. 

 

'This is a horrible, horrible idea.' One can only end in heartbreak. 

 

'It is an agreement, only an agreement. That's what it is.' She told herself, swallowed the lump growing in her throat and faked a smile, "I will."
