Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 35

Escorted by Stefan, Lucinda returned to her rented place. As soon as she stepped in, she started rummaging around.

"Lucy, whatcha looking for?" Stefan asked with concern, "Tell me, I'll help you find it."

"The contract, Stefan, your copy? Bring it out quick, we're ripping them together."

Lucinda found the contract in the drawer of her computer desk and immediately took it out, then turned to Stefan to demand his copy.

"Stefan, my crisis is over now, thanks for your help. Even though I only hired you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few days, I'll still pay you for a month." She said, taking out her phone and instantly transferring five hundred bucks to Stefan.

Luckily, she had borrowed money from her brother to buy clothes, a bed, and daily necessities for Stefan; otherwise, she wouldn't have the money to pay the rent.

"Stefan, our partnership is ending early. Thanks for your help."

Stefan looked at her and took her copy of the contract. After a glance, he ripped it. "Hmm, void."

His remark made Lucinda a bit uneasy as if his "void" meant something different than what she thought. "Lucy, we're married, we don't need a contract. So, from now on, this contract is useless." What was happening here! Was Stefan going back on his word? He didn't want to end the partnership!

"Stefan, we had a deal, I hired you to pose as my boyfriend so my mom would stop nagging me about dating. How could you... go back on your word?"

This was too sudden. Was this the same gentle Stefan she knew?
