• Aaron's POV •
It has been 2 days since I met Emily. I had called her earlier today telling her that the contract for our arranged marriage is finally made and finished
I had asked my lawyer to make it. And he called me yesterday telling me it is finalized today. So, now I'm heading out to lunch and have a meeting with Emily and my lawyer.
"Jessica, I'm going out for lunch and please clear all of my today's schedule, and I'm not coming back here. If my dad asked you about me, just tell him that I'm going to have lunch with Emily." I said to my personal assistant. She nodded her head.

• Emily's POV •
It has been a hard 2 days of my life. Never did I imagine that I'll get married not with love but more like to fulfilling my parents' wish.
Well I mean looking at how good looking Aaron is surely going to make me fall in love with him.
But I just want something that happened naturally, not something that is being pushed to me.
I still don't know whether what I do is right or wrong. But I strongly believe, Aaron and I might get to somewhere if we live with eachother.
Am I dreaming now?
Suddenly feel like I'm so ready for this arranged marriage?
***
I just got out from my car heading in to a restaurant. With my
"Ma'am do you have a reservation here?" A waiter asked me
I nodded my head, "yes on Aaron Eduardo," I said.
"Oh, Mr. Eduardo just arrived, let me take you to his table." The waiter said and lead me the way.
"Sorry I'm a lil bit late," I said as I took a seat in front of Aaron and his lawyer I guess.
"Oh hey Emily, yeah it is okay, let's discuss it," Aaron said.
Before starting to discuss we decided to have a lunch first, I ordered a carbonara spaghetti, while Aaron ordered a medium-rare steak.
After done with our lunch, Aaron's lawyer finally take out the whole contract marriage files.
"So miss Fransisco, here in the contract, it said that you and Mr. Eduardo will be married for 5 years and in those 5 years, you both will live in the same house, but will not have any kind of romance related relation with eachother," the lawyer started.
I nodded my head, it feels wrong but I cannot do other than agree, I at least didn't want to dissapoint my dad and mum, but is it a wrong move to take?
"And in those 5 years you both can date or be in a relationship with other people, which is mean that you both are only tied to eachother on a paper only," the lawyer continued.
"What? What do you mean both of us can date? Isn't it kinda broke the vows we will make in front of the priest?" I asked confused.
Then Aaron look at me, "Emily, it won't remember this is not a real marriage, we both are forced to this," he said.
"But the promises we're going to make in front of the priest are not only joking, we're going to promise in front of God, I cannot and I don't agree to that," I argue back.
"Well, it's up to you Emily, but I won't stay commited to this marriage, just for you know, I have my own needs that needed to be fulfilled," Aaron said.
I shook my head in disbelief how can he be this not respectful for the wishes he's going to make. But me I will stand on my ground. I won't date any other guy while I'm married to someone.
"Well it is up to you, but I won't date any other guy, while I'm married to someone." I said.
Aaron looked at me shocked, "so you will just leave your boyfriend for this whole contract marriage?" He asked.
"Well, I don't have a boyfriend at the moment, but even if I have one, I will leave him, cause he deserves more than just being in a relationship with someone that is married to another man. I'm not a selfish person," I said.
"Well, it's ok, but I will still go with the first, I won't leave someone that I love for a contract marriage, doesn't sound right for me," he said.
And I just nodded my head. The whole meeting to discuss the contract marriage went well, a lot surprise coming in my way, but I'm sure I'm going to work it out.
"So, we are done for the discussion, and you miss Francisco, you can sign here," the lawyer said and tell me where to sign the contract.
"And Mr. Eduardo, you can sign here," the lawyer said to Aaron.
When Aaron finally sign the contract, I felt like a weight is being put on my back. I'm going to live and married for a contract marriage for the next 5 years. Getting a lil bit scared, and I just very sure that Aaron have a girlfriend.
Tho he said that he didn't have one. Cause he just broke up with his ex. But I'm sure he's going to find one.
"Emily, thank you for your time today, I hope we are going to be friends since this marriage is only gonna last for 5 years, I surely am it is not a long time to go," Aaron said.
I nodded my head, "yeah Aaron, I believe that, and please even If you got a girlfriend later, just don't bring it into our home." I said.
I just don't think I can keep going if I see that he has a girlfriend. Hate to say it, but I might have a little crush for him. I mean who wouldn't?
He is so good looking and just this gorgeous. Have an intimidating stares. Ugh, why I even start with this fangirling with my contract marriage's husband again?
I stood up from my seat, and said, "well, the meeting is done now, if you both will excuse me, I'm going to go now, thank you for the time," I said and decided to shook Aaron and his Lawyer's hand.
"Thank you miss Francisco," the lawyer said.
"Thank you Emily," Aaron said and look at me in the eyes.

***• Emily's POV •Today is the day. I'm going to get engaged to Aaron, this while engagement was being handled my my mum and Aaron's mum. Not gonna lie I'm getting a lil excited.Not because of the engagement, but because I will not need to stress about it. Cause both mum doing the stress with what theme of the engagement should be and stuff.I'm still not happy with myself tho. To say that I'm dissapointed with myself is an understatement. I hate why it should be arranged, why I should sign the damn paper.Now, it might be ok, but what will happen once my parents know about it? I am already planning the divorce even before the marriage started.I know it is fucked up. There is nothing I can do to make the situation better.
***2 months later• Aaron's POV •Today is the day I'm going to get married to Emily. Being her fiancé for 2 months make me realize lots of things.One thing I know for sure is that she is this one unbreakable person. She stands strong in front of her family. Though I still couldn't accept her. As a fiancé or now as my wife.She always pretends that everything is ok between us. And I thank her for that. It was like a good show. Her brother once came to talk to me after our engagement party.Flashback..."Woah, look what brought this Joseph Fransico coming to talk to me," I said sarcastically.A smirk appeared in his face, "I know your reputation Eduardo," he said. I stunned for a few seconds."Wha
***•Emily's POV•Today is going to be the day I'm going to be married to Aaron, still not really sure where this would take me too, but I believe that it will lead to something beautiful or I hope so.Aaron is nice, but I know we couldn't get anywhere with the contract we had signed. And I surely know that he didn't like me the way I hope he was. And me myself have already started to develope feelings for him. I don't know why but this doesn't feel right.And I hate myself for that. I know I am falling for him and I just couldn't stop my feeling. I know sounds so cliché, right?He told me that he's still not over his ex, Gemma. He even told me to not bother about it, but how could I? I was at a lost world now tbh. And I don't think I could even stand it if I saw he and his lover together. I don't want to imagine about that.***

What the hell happening?Then I look down at under my covers and I am naked. Then I jumped out of the bed, hangover kills me. How much did I drink 
***EmilyI can not go out from my room, I can not bear the hurts. I hate myself that I easily let him get to me that easily. Why am I being this weak woman right now? Why love hurts? Does it always happen like that?I heard another knocked in front of my room, "Mrs. Eduardo, here's your lunch, Mr. Eduardo asked me to bring it again." The maid said. I haven't gone out from my room for 3 days, I can not go out and see Aaron. It still breaks my heart and soul. I never know what he is capable of.I never knew he would be this heartless. I mean with him dating his ex. I knew that would happen, but I clearly stated no other women or men should be involved as long as we are married. He breaks it. I have called my lawyer for filing a divorce.***AaronEmily has been isolating herself in he
***Emily"Emily, I'm so sorry for what Aaron did to you. I resent him for doing that to you, if you want to file for a divorce then I understand, you shouldn't stay. I won't let you stay in a hateful marriage," my mother in law said once she stepped into my room and hugged me.I hugged her back, "mum.. I don't know what to do, I'm-I'm so scared," I said and sat down on my bed. "I never know how dangerous he is until.. until that night." I sobbedThen she also sat down, her hand brush my hair softly, "Emily, there's nothing you should be afraid of. You know that right? You'll get our full support." She said.I shook my head no, "no I have every reason why I'm afraid." I said and sighed. She just looked at me waiting for me to explain it to her.Then I silently cursed at myself. She doesn't know about the contract marriage Aaron and I made.
