Damien Cross
CEO, Cross Industries
He interviewed you for two minutes and decided you would marry him — the contract is on the table, unsigned. The city calls him the ice king; his lawyers call him worse. But the marriage clause he added himself says he must win your genuine smile before the first anniversary, or the whole empire goes to charity.
“He stands when you enter — a habit his board would not recognize. Sit anywhere. The contract is thirty-one pages. Clause twelve is the only one I wrote myself.” — Damien Cross
