By Design: A Contracted Love
There are a lot of reasons why people get married, with love being the major determinant. But ours wasn't about love. It was about survival.
Nicolas had always been against love; after all, his parents married for love and had nothing to show for it. No, he was going to focus on the things that actually mattered. His company. However, when his father gets sick, he makes a wish and an ultimatum he will inherit the family's company and shares only if he marries before his father's health fully deteriorates.
Elise has always been big on love. Maybe it was why she kept getting burned. With her family's business burning to the ground, she decides to take a halt on love and focus on saving it. She picks the only option before her. Marriage. The word itself left a foul taste in her mouth, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do.
With her family's life at stake, she lies. Boldly and secures a partnership with the city's most eligible bachelor. Nicolas. There's only one problem: the upcoming bride and groom despise each other.
The duo will have to put their hatred aside and focus on what is important, perfecting their billion-dollar act that will keep both of them afloat
