Till Contract Do us Apart (ON HOLD)

Charlotte Grey is the wife of Lucas Young, an impossibly handsome man of immense fortune. It's been a year since they married on the basis of a contract. He will relieve Charlotte of her debts and support her family, while she will carry out basic duties of Mrs. Young- and keep the promise of never expecting to have children with him.

Besides these two expectations, she has complete freedom- and as he constantly reminds her- is free to even date as many other men as she wishes, just not publicly.

Charlotte's life of being debt-free couldn't be better- until her ex-fiancée Alec steps back into her life, until she starts falling for Lucas who still treats her like a guest in the house, and until one day, she starts to suspect that Lucas has a mistress, and the two of them want her dead.

Alec stood before me in the backdrop of a pitch black night, sliding a cold silver ring through my finger. His ivory skin seemed to glow even under the weak waning moon, and his coal black hair, damp against his head with sweat that glistened his temples.

"Will you...be my fiancée?" His breaths rugged and raw, Alec brought my ringed finger to his lips.

"I'm afraid not. She's my wife." Slipping a ring through my other hand, was Lucas. I shivered. This ring, seemed to feel colder to touch.

His piercing, ocean blue eyes bored into mine, as he brought my hand to his cheek.

"You're already mine, Mrs. Young."
