Ella POV

My hand trembled slightly as I took the pen from Alexander The weight of the moment pressed down on me as I stared at the long contract in front of me, its fine print blurring as my pulse pounded in my ears. I sat down slowly, trying to focus on the words, but my mind was spinning. This contract was more than I had expected. It was a binding promise–one that went far beyond the simple terms I had anticipated.

“What is this?” I whispered, my voice barely steady as I lifted my gaze to meet Alexander’s eyes.

“A promise,” he replied, his voice calm but with an edge of seriousness that made my heart skip a beat. “In light of the scandal, August has convinced me we need to protect your interests in this deal. I can’t allow my reputation to harm you. That would be a violation of our agreement. So, by signing this, you agree to the terms I’m proposing.

His intense gaze held mine as he continued, his words sending a chill down my spine. “I will have no lovers, no one–night stands, no other romantic partners for the duration of our relationship. The scandal it would cause if I was caught…. cheating on you would be difficult to control.

I glanced back down at the contract, my fingers gripping the pen tightly. His words were laid out in stark legal terms–cold and clear. But there was more. My breath hitched as I read the clause that caught my attention: if Alexander violated the contract, he would owe me damages a million dollars, to be exact.

“But… this is too much,” I protested, my voice wavering, I looked back up at him, my emotions a swirling mess of confusion and disbelief. This wasn’t just a business arrangement anymore. This was personal.
