Contract marriage
Hi, my name is Emma Carter. I'm 22 I work at a dinner In New York, my mom is in Mount Sinai Hospital fighting Cancer , the bill is $180 000 , due by Friday or they stop her treatment. I don't have $180 000, I don't have insurance, I don't have anyone and that's how I ended up in this penthouse office in the only nice gown I own starting at a man I've never seen or met , His name is Alexander Cole , the CEO of cole enterprise , he's 28 and a billionaire
Across the table his lawyer pushed papers toward me "A contract marriage Ms. Carter , one year you become Mrs Cole . He pays you 20 million
I should have said no
I should have walked out but then I thought of my mom hooked to machines so weak she could nearly talk so I picked up the pen , hands trembling . Alexander finally looked up from his laptop , Grey eyes , No smile like I was nothing
"Sign it " he said after today you're my wife , But let's be clear . This is business, no love , no touching , separate rooms
I signed
Emma Carter
And just like that I sold myself to save my mom to a man who told me on our wedding day "Don't fall inlove with me Emma . I don't do love ".
