"Read it carefully and make your decision, " Lucas said in a calm tone.
"What the hell is this?" Lillian demanded. "You're offering me a marriage contract? Why? We don't even know each other!"
"You need your father's debt to be paid off," Lucas pointed out. "I need a wife for six months. We're in a win-win situation here."
"Six months?" Lillian echoed. She was shocked. What was this man thinking? Was marriage a joke to him?
"It's your wish," Lucas shrugged. "If you want me to forgive your father's debts, then you can go ahead and agree to this contract. In return, you'll be my wife for six months. After that, you are free to do whatever you want."
Lillian was normally a calm person but this man was infuriating her. The way he was offering her the contract, it was as if he was discussing a business deal. But to her, marriage was a lifetime commitment with someone she would fall in love with.
How could she throw away her dreams for a cold hearted criminal like him?
