Contract Marriage For 7 Days. [Completed]

Prologue_Jane Monroe

Jane Monroe is 27 and a loner. She was married when she was 22 to her high school sweetheart and 25 when she got divorced.

Jane was kind and such a caring wife to her husband. She never once said no to his requests as she always wanted him to be happy. Her husband Paul owned a big general store and just like her, he was practicing Christianity with all his heart. So, they were doing more than perfect.

All she wanted was to have a child of their own but was not being successful to get conceive. All her test shows that she was perfect but her husband Paul never wanted to get a checkup as he thinks that he is perfect and his wife is just being paranoid and losing faith.

Little arguments turned into tantrums.

Until one day a girl named Amanda appeared who claimed to be Paul's girlfriend and the mother to be of his child.

Everything in Jane's life turned upside down. Everything that she ever lived for lost meaning to her.

In the end, her husband chooses that girl over her because of her pregnancy.

She used to be a biology teacher in a high school but after divorce, she just stays in her small apartment and tutor kids online on Chegg tutors website and also run a blog with animated lectures and gets enough livelihood to get past her life. She does not dream anymore or hope for the better days.

All she ever wanted from her family is the emotional support after her divorce which she never received.

Her parents believed that she is also responsible for her state. Her brother never liked Paul anyways and never supported her decision to marry him in the first place and her sister was a teen and does not believe that Jane needs any emotional support because in her pov getting divorce is not a big fuss.

So, she decided to leave Wisconsin and move to L.A... Why L.A? She was invited by a friend to live with her. She didn't lose the opportunity. After some time that friend moves to New York to pursue her career and Jane rented out the same apartment and continue living alone.

The only person she ever socializes is the petite blond that lives next to her apartment. Her name is Carol and she is 22, lively and only live to party and get wasted.

Because she is the only person she knows in L.A. They both have their numbers as an emergency contact number in their phone list. Carol, who is oblivious to Jane's past, tried a thousand times to get her out of her apartment but she never got success.

She lives all her days in her apartment. Gets out twice in a month to get grocery and anything she wants. A diner named foodies, that is not so far from her place is the only place she goes, at times she wants to go out. She always attends the Sunday mass since her childhood and still does, but now she only prays to God for strength because it was the only thing that was keeping her sane.

But still, she never forgets to mourn over her failed marriage almost twice in a week. She still misses Paul with all her heart and sometimes zones out thinking if things were different. She reminisces her school days and how she met him. How she never let any boy or even Paul touch her and only give her innocence to him after their marriage? How she always believed that Paul is the man of her life and she always going to be with him and he is gonna protect her? And how her happiness was short-lived?

With all of these thoughts, she goes to her slumber and has difficulty to maintain her sleep and suffer from insomnia.
