Bound by Agreement
Liam Anderson leaned back in his leather office chair, staring at the ceiling as his parents’ words echoed in his mind. The pressure to marry had become unbearable, a constant reminder of their expectations and the legacy he was supposed to uphold. The prestigious Anderson family couldn’t afford a bachelor son, especially one as successful as Liam. But the thought of marrying his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Miller, filled him with dread. Their relationship had ended for a reason, and he wasn’t about to rekindle a flame that had long since extinguished. Meanwhile, across town, Hannah Bennett sat in her small, cluttered apartment, surrounded by half-finished paintings and unpaid bills. Her dreams of becoming a successful artist seemed further away with each passing day. Desperation gnawed at her, the weight of her financial struggles almost too much to bear. When her phone buzzed with a notification, she glanced at it, hoping for some good news but finding none. Their worlds couldn’t have been more different, yet fate had a strange way of bringing people together. A chance meeting at a charity event, a brief conversation that left an impression, and suddenly, an idea sparked in Liam’s mind. A contract marriage—temporary, convenient, and beneficial for both of them. He needed a wife to satisfy his family’s demands, and she needed money to pay off her debts and fund her art career.
