~Cartiér's POV~

"I Have A 300,000 Dollar Contract For Both Of You"

My Ears Immediately Pointed Up. I Wanted To Hear More. Money Was My Main Focus. I Was All Smiles Until I Looked At Jamal. His Face Was Tense. He Obviously Didn't Like The Sound Of This.

"All You Two Have To Do Is Move In Together And Continue To "Date" For 6 Months"

"No" Jamal Said. "Dad That's Crap And You Know It. Now You're Trying To Pay Me To Be Something I'm Not. You Know I Wouldn't Agree To This."

"Cartiér Can I Have A Moment Alone With Jamal" Lucious Asked.

"Of Course" I Said Grabbing My Purse.

The Money Was Good, But I Wasn't Going To Make Jamal Be Something He Was Not. And It Was Insane That Lucious Would Even Ask That Of Jamal. I Wasn't Going To Sign That Contract.

My Phone Buzzed. It Was A Notification From Instagram. Hakeem Tagged Me In A Photo. It Was A Picture Of Him, Malani, And Lola At A Small Table In Small Chairs Drinking Fake Tea. Captioned, "Nothing Like Tea With The Royals". I Busted Out Laughing, Then Received Many Stares From People Around Me.

A Few Minutes Later Becky, Lucious' Assistant, Came Over And Told Me I Can Back In The Office.

Lucious Handed Jamal & I Copies Of The Contract. I Looked It Over And It Was Very Straight Forward. Attatched To It Was A NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) Saying That Nobody Was To Know Of The Contract Other Than The Immediate Family And The Top Empire Affiliates.

I Looked Over At Jamal. I Was Going To Tell Him That We Don't Have To Sign It, But What He Said Nectar Shocked The Hell Out Of Me.

~Jamal's POV~

"I'll Do It. I'll Sign It" I Told Cartiér.

"What?!" She Asked Her Eyebrows To The Sky.

My Mind Shifted To The Conversation I Had With My Father.

"You Will Sign This Contract. Or You Will Lose ALL Funding. And You Don't Have A Job Jamal. "

I Couldn't Lose All My Money. Not Yet Anyways. My Royalties From Dollar Bill Hadn't Came Back Yet. And I Needed That In Order For Me To Finally Be Able To Rebel.

"Yes I'll Sign It" I Said. I Was Going To Tell Her The Plan Later. I Looked Over Both Of Our Contracts And If We Breached Them It Would Be A Fine. That Wasn't Too Much So We'd Be Fine.

I Signed My Contract And She Signed Hers. We Left The Office And Out The Building. We Held Hands As The Press And Paparazzi Ran To Us. I Pulled Her Closer To Me So We Can Walk Through Them.

We Got In The Car And I Decided To Tell Her The Plan. "Hey, I Kind Of Have Something To Tell You" I Said.

"What?"

"I Have A Plan. And I Need Your Help. And You're In Too Deep To Say No"

"Is It About The Contract?"

"Yeah. I Was Thinking How About We Just Call It Off In Like A Week. Then My Dad Would Be So Pissed. Let's Just Sabotage This Whole Thing."

"Jamal I Thought About That. And That Is The Worst Plan."

"What?" I Said Confused.

"Your Dad Doesn't Expect You To Better Than Hakeem, You Need To Prove Him Wrong. You And I Are Going To Be The Hottest & Sexiest Fake Couple Ever. We're Going To Be Dropping Single And Albums Like It Ain't Shit. Your Dad Wants To Sabotage Us Jamal. He Expects For Us To Sabotage It. Jamal We're Going To Be Better Than Expected." She Said

"But How?"

"Jamal We're Going To Take His Empire"
