Contracted Marriage with my Boss

Once The Foolish Wife, Now His Eternal Obsession

Calla Rhodes

For three years, Cathryn and her husband Liam lived in a sexless marriage. She believed Liam buried himself in work for their future. But on the day her mother died, she learned the truth: he had been cheating with her stepsister since their wedding night. She dropped every hope and filed for divorce. Sneers followed-she'd crawl back, they said. Instead, they saw Liam on his knees in the rain. When a reporter asked about a reunion, she shrugged. "He has no self-respect, just clings to people who don't love him." A powerful tycoon wrapped an arm around her. "Anyone coveting my wife answers to me."

"Ding..." A notification popped up from Vivian's phone. She swiftly clicked on it with anticipation.

"Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed with joy before jumping down from her bed and dashing to her mum, who was busy serving customers. Vivian stood at the counter, swaying left and right, awaiting her mother's return. After a while, her mother moved to the counter. Vivian couldn't wait anymore as she broke the news to her mum.

"Mum, mum, I've gotten the job."

"Really?"

"Yes, mum," Vivian said as her mother pulled her to a hug with tears in her eyes.

"Congratulations my daughter, I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks, mum, this isn't time for tears now. Let me go and press my clothes ahead." She said before running off, leaving her mother grinning from ear to ear. Vivian got to her room and opened her small-sized wardrobe, throwing out all the clothes in it with excitement. Bringing out the most presentable set of clothes, she sat down to press them humming a song only known to her. Vivian is the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Rion, the first child as well as a younger brother. Her parents are not the well-to-do ones. Her mother owns a restaurant where they make their daily bread. Since when Vivian finished school, she hasn't gotten any reputable job despite her CVs and all. She engages in a few menial jobs, but for every dime she makes, her drunkard father snatches away from her, even from her mother as well, and there is nothing they can do about it. She almost lost hope of getting a job, only to be hired by a large company in the city as an Assistant at Dam Company. To her and her mother, this is a huge feat. Her work at Dam Company begins the following day. She eventually finished pressing the clothes and cleaning her shoes before settling down to gist her friends about the new job. Just then, a call came through her phone. She smiled when she saw the caller, her boyfriend, Steve.

"Hello, baby." She beamed excitedly.

"Vivian, what's up? What's with the moody mood?"

"Oh about that, I'm just happy. I have gotten a job."

"Really? Is it another menial job?" He asked sarcastically.

"Not at all. It's at Dam Company."

"What?" He asked shocked. Silence permeated for a while before Vivian broke it.

"What is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing. What post?"

"Assistant."

"Oh... congratulations, Vivian."

"Thank you, sweetheart." After a exchanging few more words, he ended the call. Her boyfriend, Steve is the CEO of Clowdin Company. When with this fact, each time she requests him to at least hire her as an intern in his office, he bluntly refuses. Vivian did not read another meaning to this and believes that the company is occupied. She called her two other friends on a video call.

"Hello, sweethearts."

"My love." One of the girls, Rosy replied.

"Hey, girls!" The last of the three, Sarah interjected.

"Good news, good news. Guess, guess, guess."
