Chapter 11 Indecisions And Snapshots

• I finally decide to open the brown envelope I have been avoiding since my visit to Nick’s penthouse. My mind drifts to our conversation and my discovery. If he really was involved in his father's death, his past is darker than I expected and I'm not sure if I'll be safe with him in this game.
• I pull the document out of the envelope with a sigh. The paper feels crisp and official in my hands, and as I unfold it, the title catches my eye: "Contract for Fake Relationship between Aurora Belle and Nicholas Vanderbilt."
• I skim through the clauses, trying to absorb the terms without delving too deeply into the legal jargon. The duration and purpose are straightforward, outlining the timeline and reasons behind our supposed relationship. I pause at the section detailing our public behavior and interactions, imagining the scenes we’ll have to stage together.
