Klaus is the CEO of Mikaelson Enterprises. Klaus's visa is about to expire unless he can find a way around it. That's where his assistant Caroline comes in. Desperate to stay in the states, he offers her 10 million dollars to marry him for a year. Will Caroline willingly marry a man she hates? Or will Klaus force her into a marriage of convenience? AU/AH, Dominate/Possessive themes

Complete. To get anywhere, you have to go somewhere. Caroline snuck out of Mystic Falls to take a leap of blind faith into the big, bad world—and she succeeded. Yet Klaus was never really far behind. Thus began a relationship as complicated, consuming, and emotionally fraught as it ever was. AU after Tyler left Mystic Falls, no Hayley (EVER).

When Caroline sees a vampire passed out on the side of the road, she nurses him back to health despite her better judgement. However after he vanishes, she finds out it was Klaus and freaks. But it's too late. Klaus is enamored by his saviour, and will have her no matter what. Of course, that doesn't mean he has forgotten about breaking the Hybrid Curse either. /post-2.19 HIATUS
