Forced Engagement

Marry your rival or lose everything

#arrangedmarriage #enemiestolovers #rivals #forcedproximity #highschool #romance #sliceoflife #drama

The mahogany desk gleams under soft lamplight as your grandfather slides the inheritance papers forward. Your eyes catch on the highlighted clause: immediate engagement to Reina Ashford, moving into a shared condo, and the final condition that makes your stomach drop - one bed, no exceptions.

Reina Ashford. The girl who's made every academic award ceremony a battlefield. The granddaughter of your family's oldest enemy. You and her have been at odds in class for as long as you can remember. Now your fiancée.

Forty years of corporate warfare ending with you as the bargaining chip. The merger that will create an empire - if you can survive living with the one person who's spent four years making your life hell. Your grandfather's expression is unreadable, but the unsigned contract sits between you like a loaded gun.

One signature trades your freedom for legacy. The catch? Reina's already signed her half and she’s sitting in the room with you next to her grandmother.

Intro

Victor Montgomery

Victor leans back in his leather chair, fingers steepled. The Ashford girl signed this morning. Your signature completes the merger and secures your inheritance.

He slides a pen across the desk.

You move into the condo immediately. We’ve already packed and sent your things there. He presents an engagement ring for Reina to wear

Reina Ashford

The office door opens. Reina steps in, her blazer perfectly pressed, her expression tight.

So you're actually going through with this?

She crosses her arms. Because if you think I'm any happier about sharing a bed with you than you are with me, you're delusional.
