A Contract Marriage With My Boss

In "A Contract Marriage With My Boss" by Anna Shannel Lin, a secretary named Sarah enters into a contract marriage with her boss, Charles, to prevent her from leaving him. Initially, she gives him everything he desires, but her love goes unacknowledged. When she decides to depart, he proposes a marriage contract to keep her, despite his heart belonging to another. He can only offer her his physical intimacy. Sarah endures the marital pain, but a series of schemes erodes her resolve, pushing her towards another departure. This time, Charles is unwilling to let her go, asserting his authority as both her boss and husband. He professes his love and commitment, claiming to have severed ties with other women for her. Sarah, however, is haunted by his continued connection to another woman, questioning his sincerity. A tense confrontation ensues, with Sarah pleading for freedom, feeling like a mere possession rather than a wife, while Charles insists on his claim over her.
