of a courier she found Connor stood there.
    “Can I come in?” he asked when she made no attempt to invite him in and she glared at him.
    “I think not,” she answered furiously and he sighed.
    “Lilly we need to go through the contracts and I think that might be a bit easier in the comfort of your apartment than out here in the corridor,” he suggested and finally with obvious reluctance she stepped back to let him through. Immediately he made himself at home as he headed to her lounge and took a seat on her sofa. Suddenly the room felt too small, the whole apartment seemed to shrink. Determined to ignore her sudden awareness of him Lilly took a seat opposite and lifted her chin as she fought for some control of her wayward emotions.
    “So what do you need me to sign?” she asked and he gave a light smile at her eagerness to get down to business.
    “Don’t I even get the offer of coffee?” he mocked and she gritted her teeth together wondering how she would ever survive spending any time with him when she couldn’t even stand ten minutes in the same room.
    “No,” she answered firmly and he gave a low chuckle.
    “I remember you having better manners towards guests,” he reminded her and she fought not to blush.
    “And I thought you said you were a busy man,” she retaliated.
    “Touché, then by all means let us get down to business,” he allowed as he passed her a thick document that made her wince.
    “What is all this?” she asked as she slowly flipped through trying not to be distracted by the legal speak and instead concentrating on just what was included that would directly affect her life.
    “The first couple of pages are confirming what we already said that I will release the funds to your mother as soon as you are living back under my roof with me and that I will take care of the current problem they face and provide care for your stepdad until he is recovered,” he said and she followed the first few pages confirming that was exactly what it said.
    “And the rest of it?” she asked suspiciously as surely a document didn’t need to be this large just to confirm what they had already discussed.
    “A layout of our terms so there will be no misunderstandings,” he answered and she frowned as she slowly flicked through.
    The document was embarrassingly thorough and Lilly couldn’t help the embarrassed blush that stole up her cheeks at the realisation that someone had actually written up these forms and knew what he was expecting of her. It started off simple with the requests she had expected and dreaded. She would move back to his home before she received a penny, she would share his room and his bed as well as accompanying him to events that required their presence. Then came the added requests that she hadn’t expected such as the need to accompany him on his business trips when he requested it and allowing him to provide a generous allowance so she could dress in the way that was expected of his wife. Before she could even argue about those she reached the even more demanding section that stole her breath away. It stated that no matter how she felt about the marriage she could not leave for twelve months or she would forfeit all rights and would be required to pay the money back with interest. It then stated that if she were to fall pregnant then she would not be entitled to leave at all and the resulting child would remain with Connor should she decide that she wanted to leave him still. More insultingly came the clause that just pissed her off completely. During the marriage she was to take no lovers other than him and if she did not follow this request then she would again be forced to pay all the money back with interest.
    “This is ridiculous,” she told him furiously and he arched a brow.
    “Which part was not to your liking?” he asked curiously and she glared at him.
    “All of it. I can’t accompany you abroad at a drop of a hat. I want to continue working and I can’t just
