"Here you go." He said, putting the plates in front of me.
He gave me a fork and knife, along with butter and a small bowl filled with syrup.
I looked at him, and raised an eyebrow.
"If I die of food poisoning, I'll make sure my family sues you." I said, seriously.
He smirked. "Touché."

Arranged marriages are messed up.
Many people think so.
So it's bad when a person who agrees to agree that arranged marriages are wrong, suddenly finds out that she is in one.
Really bad.
Especially for me.
I hate arranged marriages.
But if life is a pain, you got to expect something, right?
Well, I thought I've already had my stuff from Sherlock.
But reality isn't like that.
Instead, the weight put on my shoulders was unacceptable.
I am supposed to be legally bound to a big-headed, careless, man-whore, billionaire, by the name of Daniel Stevens.
I, Samantha Chris, am in an arranged marriage.

The Bridal Agreement
COMPLETED ✔️(Editing Soon) "Marry me." I nearly spill my latte on the nicest dress I own. "Are you out of your mind?! We just met... plus I don't even like your face!" "It doesn't have to be real." I set my latte down and look at him. "No woman wants a fake marriage Mr. Mardell. Be less of a dumbass and find yourself a nice girl who'll kiss your ass even when you're ghosts." "Look, don't flatter yourself" he goes leaning back in his seat. "You just happen to fit the description I gave the press and my family. And I don't like your face either." I copy his move and lean back against my seat. "I'd rather slam my tongue in a car door, sir." The words hit him. "Good day... and good luck finding a brainless girl to marry you." I grab my purse and head towards the door. "$20,000 a week" he blurts out. I halt and whirl around. "What?" "I'll give you $20,000 every week for a month..." He walks out from behind his desk. "... if you agree to do this with me." $20,000 every week for an 'I do'? Which happens to be fake too? $80,000 in a month to play dress up for one of the youngest and richest CEO's in the world? "So what do you say?" His silky voice swims through my thoughts. "You wanna get hitched for some money? You know your family needs it." He just had to play the poor family card. "So do we have a deal? Or I should go on and keep making you lose your jobs before you even start?" He had a smirk on his face. God, I hate him! But that money could help us a whole lot. I glare at him and extend a hand towards him. "Deal." ✄--------------------------------------------------------- No one ever realizes the implications of messing around with the famous 'Always and Forever' promise until they're cornered with no escape... except the one through their own hell.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed.
