Incompatible Souls Forced into a Contract Marriage

Looks should kill. That was Rachel’s wish as she shot daggers at the soul of the man who sat lazily opposite her. She bored her eyes into him, hoping he would combust into flames. The man who wasn't oblivious to her burning stare but chose to ignore it, sipped from his now-cold coffee and flipped the page of the book he was reading. “Why?" She finally croaked out, trying to refrain her heart from bursting out its long held emotions. The nonchalant man sighed and finally gave her his attention. “What do you want, Rachel?" He tipped his head to the left and gave her a lazy look.

This man was fanning the flames of hell, he might as well be ready to burn in it. “Take me home. I can't do this again" He scoffed in annoyance and faced her fully. “You signed Rachel. You can't leave until I say so or the contract’s time ends.” "I didn't sign into the depression Aiden! I can't stand you! You are insufferable.” She felt her tears finally falling free and she stood up refusing to show him her weakness.

After banging the door in annoyance, she found herself wondering how it came to this. She laughed to herself. She should have been ready to live in hell when signed a deal with the devil himself. She let her mind take her back to her blissful days when she thought life couldn't get anymore worse...

 She wiped the last table and put the trash in the trash bag. Looking at the finished work, she heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness there are no more customers. She thought to herself. As she dragged the half-filled trash bag behind her, her focus was suddenly shifted to the TV.

"... Fernando Airlines has been rated as the highest-grossing company for five years in a row. It was founded by the late Sylvester Fernando and is known for its high success rate and low casualties. Mr Aiden Fernando, the current CEO will now be speaking with us..."

When the TV revealed the man of the moment, she paused in her actions. Who in the Hades was that?! Her jaw hung low as she stared at the man, enraptured. If she were to give a realistic image of Hades, he would be even more perfect than Hades himself. "He's hot right?" Cherry, her co-worker piqued, barely managing to draw her attention from the TV. "Oh...no I ...it's not like that" She stammered. You were openly gawking, have you no shame? She chided herself and her cheeks burned in embarrassment.
