The Contract (Layla and Daniel’s love story)

My heart shattered the second I walked into that bar and saw my boyfriend of three years making out with who I thought was my best friend.

My boyfriend, the one who had just talked to me about getting married to me a few nights ago.

In a night of heartbreak and alcohol, I bowed to forget about him. But fate threw me a curve ball when I woke up in bed with the person I least expected... Dad's partner and the same man that I had lost my virginity to when I was younger, Daniel Halloway.

To make matters worse, we were married, and he refuses to annul our marriage.

"I'll give you a divorce, but only after our contract is over. After that, you're free to go." he corners me back to the wall making me feel like a small prey, waiting to be devoured by its hunter. "But until then... You're mine, and I will do with you as I so damn well please." he whispers in my ear, sending shivers up my spine.
