A MARRIAGE CONTRACT.

Her mood deepens as she scrolls through the contract details and ends at the signature of the parties.

She lifted her face to fully analyze the man who was seated on the chair like his throne.

He seemed like he was not going to take a NO for an answer to the contract. The room's silence became so unbearable as the man gazed at her.

“Errrm......... I.........”

“Do you accept it or not?”Ray mumbled coldly. His gaze was firm on the little girl.

“What do I benefit from marrying you?”

Alexa knew it was meaningless to ask such a question knowing that if the man cared less about the law then he should be among the royals or the elites in the country.

In California, The only people who had authority and power over the land were either the royal family or the really rich elite ones.

And the way he dressed and accent showed he was no commoner or an average salary earner.

“A lot of things, you name it ” He threw the question back at her.

Alexa did all the calculations in her brain in a millisecond and responded.

“How can I get married to a man who I do not know? I decline such contract ”

“You do not need to know me and besides, I can help you in dealing with your pest family. ” He twirls his hands over the chess pieces on the board.

“If you marry me, I can help you deal with your slutty family on one condition!”.

“YOU GIVE BIRTH TO A MALE CHILD WITHIN NINE MONTHS OF THE CONTRACT!”

“What?!”

Alexa said out loud. She threw the contract at him and turned her back.

“If you leave, you will regret it. ”

Ray said once more while handing the contract back to Gabriel.

His words did not make a ring in her head. A male child? Within nine months?

Was she some kind of baby machine? Most of the dramas she watched involved the female lead and male lead entering into a contract marriage to avoid his parents' disturbance but why is hers different?

“What if I do not give birth to a male child within that month's range?”

She asked once more. Signing a contract marriage was common nowadays but not so simple.

She asked once more. Signing a contract marriage was common nowadays but not so simple as it sounds.

She had to make sure of the consequences before even thinking about it.

“You pay for the liquidation fee and breach of the contract. You do not have to give me your love or have any romance in the marriage ”

“You can keep your personal space and I will also avoid interfering with your personal life if it does not relate to the welfare of the child ”

Ray answered. He was not the kind person who poked into someone else's life without it affecting him.

“Like how much are we talking here?”

“ Close to fifty trillion dollars. The whole rules about marriage are stated clearly. If you have any doubt about it then I will give you some days to think about it ”

He stood up and headed towards the door when Alexa spoke up.

“Is It not a contract marriage? I accept. ”

“Ms. Parker, I hope you have given thorough thoughts on your answer. Once you sign it, you officially become the Young lady of TheHudston's family. ”

Alexa coughed when she heard the title he said.

“Young Miss of the Hudston's?” She repeated and trembled on her feet.

She recalled so many historical facts on the Hudston's and their harsh way of picking their wives.

The Hudston's are called the lion's nest. No one who has ever offended Hudston stays alive.

They are noticed for their severe way of handling matters and even crowned the domineering family in California.

“You do not need to be afraid. Obey my instructions, complete the month range of the contract, get me an heir and you will be fine ”

His words sounded more of a threat than a sentence. He was saying that they were tremendous outcomes if she does not get him an heir before their contract expires.

“If there is no affair in the marriage then how do I get pregnant? Not that I could impregnate myself?”

“We will do an IVF and attach the embryo to your womb. All your diets and lifestyles would be controlled by our specialist. Do not worry about your body after pregnancy, they will take care of it ”

“When you successfully give birth to him, you are done with me and you do not need to worry about the child. You can live your life as you want to do. I won't give a two shit about it ”

He said calmly.

“If there are no questions about the contract, you can sign it ”

Alexa took a deep breath and stared at the contract once more.

This decision was about changing her lifestyle, her diet, her whereabouts, and most importantly, She is going to be the Young Miss of the business lord.
