Pledge

He should have foreseen how much trouble the agreement would cause.

After all, he was a business man. Naturally, his various business interests were booming. At the time he saw it as no more than a pledge to pay the debt when the time came, as promised. In business, this was being done all the time. He knew there were moral considerations, regarding the nature of it. He also understood that her moral standards were far greater than his. That was why he had kept the details of it from her. He loved her very much, but she had often questioned his judgment when discussing the ethical side of some of his business dealings. On this occasion, it had been the reason he had not allowed her to know anything about this particular contract.

That was the case before she found the signed copy of it, quite by accident, while thumbing through his section of the filing cabinet. She never did find what she was looking for.

At first there were tears and disbelief that he would get involved with something like this. However, this turned to anger as the consequences of what he had done sank in. It was the religious side of her beliefs, beyond the moral aspects of it, that had finally caused her to begin talking about her leaving him.

In the end, he agreed to see whether he could break the contract.

He’d give it a go, but Beelzebub wasn’t going to like it!
