Why Benjamin proposes the arrangement
Benjamin needs a believable fiancee to protect his grandmother from stress and disappointment. He chooses Alice because she appears at exactly the moment his family situation becomes emotionally urgent. For him, the arrangement is supposed to be clean, controlled, and temporary.
Why Alice says yes
Alice agrees when her life is in pieces. She has just been humiliated by Ethan and Natalie, and the contract offers her breathing room, stability, and a chance to stop being cornered by the people who hurt her. It is not a fairy tale decision at first. It is a survival decision.
Why the contract stops feeling fake
The emotional shift happens because Benjamin consistently protects Alice in public and respects her in private. Alice, meanwhile, brings honesty and warmth into Benjamin's guarded world. The more they rely on each other, the less the arrangement feels like performance and the more it feels like the beginning of real loyalty.
Why this arc matters to the whole story
The contract marriage is not just a romance device. It changes Alice's social position, draws her into Benjamin's family conflict, and sets up the later reveal that their lives may have been connected long before they signed any deal. It is the bridge between heartbreak and true partnership.
