Chapter 4: The Marriage Agreement

Chapter 4: The Marriage Agreement
Daniel finally admitted the truth.
Before their wedding, Victoria had forced him to sign a family agreement.
The agreement controlled everything.
Their house.
Their money.
Their future children.
Even their decisions as a couple.
Emily stared at him in disbelief.
“You signed something that controlled our marriage?”
Daniel lowered his head.
“My mother said it was just protection.”
Emily laughed bitterly.
“Protection?”
She looked at Victoria.
“No. It was control.”
Victoria stepped forward.
“You don’t understand our family.”
Emily shook her head.
“No.”
She looked at Daniel.
“I understand perfectly.”
“You didn’t marry me.”

“You married the permission to leave your mother.”
Daniel realized the woman standing before him was no longer the same woman who walked down the aisle.
