The Duke and the Deal

08. The Contract and Wedding Gown

~Not Edited~

"Umm...." Ella began, still stunned at the duke's sudden and surprising pose of action.

Amos took Ella's incomplete and confused sentence as a yes to continue on talking, which he did.

"I've officiated a contract -"Amos began, returning back to his original state whilst retrieving a file from the desk drawer before him and then presented it before Ella. "- which expands further upon our supposed deal that we have both come to terms with. It contains all the terms and conditions of our relationship before and after we are to be wed."

Ella trailed her eyes towards the file before her as she opened it to reveal a simple piece of paper with everything as Amos states to be in this contract. She scanned its contents and was surprised to see that most of the terms and conditions of this fake marriage of a deal did not meet Ella in satisfaction and total agreement, but she was already in this total baloney situation so she couldn't disagree to agree.

As stated;
