Gwendolyn dropped her gaze to the bold and black lettering adorning the top of the document Marriage Contract. The contract specified that once his legs were fully healed, they would divorce, limiting the duration to a maximum of three months. In gratitude, he would gift her a house and a check for a million dollars.

“If you have no objections, sign here. I don’t like being in debt, and this serves as a nondisclosure agreement too,” he said, drafting the contract after reviewing the investigation report from the previous day.
