Contract Marriage 2 (Sample)

Prologue and Characters

Nervous? No, This word cant even start to explain the way I was feeling right now. Caressing my bump I assured myself for the hundredth time. And collecting every bit of courage gave a light knock. I don't have any idea what will be the reaction of my parents after knowing about me being eight months pregnant and that too out of wedlock. I can hear my father's voice telling the person on the door to wait. The time stopped. But all of a sudden, I felt a large figure appearing from behind and standing tall on my left side. Looking above I found him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed. My nervousness was turned into anger in seconds.
"You know better." He answered.
The door opened. I saw my father's confused eyes followed by his voice asking, "Jane?"
But soon his eyes went onto my large belly. My father looked beyond shocked but before he could pass out Alex extended his hand saying,
"Hello, Mr. Monroe, I am Alexander Black. Your son-in-law."
I shot him a glance but deep down I knew I was at point zero, again.
