All chapters of Contact marriage

Kaito invites Hana to his private office under the pretense of a corporate merger, only to present a marriage contract instead of a business deal. Hana immediately recognizes the move as a desperate measure to secure his family’s inheritance, but she astutely negotiates for greater personal agency within the agreement. Kaito is initially taken aback by her blunt refusal to be a silent figurehead, finding himself intrigued by her lack of intimidation. After a heated exchange regarding the terms, Hana signs the document, choosing to accept the marriage as a strategic alliance. As the ink dries, Kaito feels the first crack in his iron-clad composure, realizing he may have underestimated his new partner.
