Love Has It's Will
Growing up, Sophie's life has been woven from threads of privilege and shame. As the illegitimate daughter of the esteemed Rowling family, she lived in shadows, her identity shaped by the secrets and lies that surround her birth. Despite her family's wealth and status, Sophie's existence felt like a whispered rumor, forcing her to live under the cruel and merciless shadow of her stepsister Mandy, the golden child
Mandy was the epitome of everything Sophie could never be: legitimate, adored, and untouched by scandal. While Mandy basked in the spotlight, Sophie was relegated to the shadows, forced to make do with the leftovers – hand-me-down clothes, shoes, and even food. And now, it seemed, she has been reduced to a mere substitute in a marriage arrangement meant for Mandy, a typical hand-me-down marriage.
Left to navigate the treacherous landscape of her new family alone, with no genuine support from her husband, Sophie knew she had to stand up for herself and fight for what she believed in.

Chapter: 4. Do I have a choice....?Agatha lifted her face from the book she was reading to look at Sophie. "What did you say, I didn't quite get that?" Agatha asked, just to make sure she heard her correctly. Sophie exhaled deeply, clenching her fist more tightly, "I said, I would marry Maxwell Dupree," Sophie said, her voice a bit louder than the first time. Agatha scoffed, shifting her eyes from Sophie to nothing. She removed her reading glasses and placed it on the table alongside the book. She turned, adjusting on her seat now facing Sophie, "I must say Sophie, I didn't think you would cave in so soon. What happened? Why did you suddenly have a change of mind?" Agatha asked "Are you going to pretend like you don't know?' Sophie asked, getting irritated. "I don't know what you are talking about, Sophie. I actually thought you would be able to raise that money. You seemed to have so much confidence in you this morning, I wonder what changed?" Agatha said. "Timothy got fired. There was a company downsizing, and

Chapter: 3. Five Billion Dollar Debt"What???" Sophie yelled, staring deeply at Agatha."You heard me, Sophie. You are getting married next month to Maxwell Dupree. I'm sure you saw him yesterday night at the party," Agatha said."Yes, but as Mandy's fiance, why do I have to be the one to marry him?" Sophie asked, not sure she quite understood what was going on."You are getting married to him because I said so," Agatha said, now returning to her breakfast."What about my boyfriend Timothy, I really love him, grandmother, please, don't do this to me," Sophie pleaded almost in tears. Agatha chuckled, turning to look at Sophie."Let's see, Timothy Griffith, no social class, no money, no power or connection, and above all, no real job. Tell me, Sophie, what makes you think that I, Agatha Rowling would accept a man that works more than twelve hours a day as a delivery man and still earns below minimum wage as my son-in-law, what are the chances of that ever happening?' Agatha asked."He is hardworking. He just wasn't lucky t

Chapter: 2. Engagement Palava'The Rowling family must be in a serious financial issue to agree to this ridiculous marriage' 'I really think Agatha Rowling can do better than this, Mandy is such an intelligent girl. She could find someone better," 'The Billionaire Pauper finally got himself a wife, what a shocker,' The guest erupted in murmurs as they leaned towards each other in gossip, their eyes darting from the Duprees to the Rowlings. "What's the meaning of all these?" Agatha asked in a firm but angry voice. George stared at her for a while, and without uttering a single word to her, he turned facing the guests again. "The Dupree family has given their consent to the union of their eldest grandson Maxwell Dupree and the Rowlings granddaughter, Mandy Dupree," George announced, further stunning the guest. Agatha scoffed, feeling the anger in her rile up. She stared deeply at George before her eyes shifted to Maxwell, who just sat silently on his wheelchair without saying a word. 'Is he dumb too?'

Chapter: 1. Meet Cute Or NotThe hunk of the car came again, this time louder than the first few times. Sophie quickly grabbed her shoes and bag from her closet and hurried downstairs, tripping on the stairs as she ran, hoping to make it to the limousine before her father, Carlos, orders the chauffeur to drive off. Luckily for Sophie, she made it at the nike of time, just before the butler closed the door. "I'm sorry, Father. I had to fix my hair," Sophie apologized, her eyes fixed on Carlos, who was seated at the other end of the limousine close to his wife Beatrice, but he never spared her a glance as he had his eyes fixed on his phone. "And I can see how beautifully and well put together that came out," Beatrice snapped, her voice laced with disdain as she stared at Sophie dirty blonde hair, which was tied in a messy bun. "I ran down the stairs," Sophie said, offering a shabby excuse for her messy hairstyle. Carlos lifted his head, and after taking a good look at Sophie, he turned to the chauffeur.

Lindsey called as tears dropped from her eyes. "Yeah girlfriend, it's me," Leen smiled."God Leen," Lindsey said and quickly hugged her.

At least she got the opportunity to see Lindsey's picture on the internet but she just zoned out without a word to her or anyone."It's really you Leen, I have missed," Lindsey cried hugging her even tighter.

They both maintained eye contact for a while as if trying to ask each other if they were comfortable with the whole suggestion."Don't just sit there and stare at each other, say something," Chairman Winslow said breaking off the eye contact. Lindsey shifted her gaze to him, she wasn't sure if she was ready to become a mother just yet, she loved the idea of getting pregnant and giving birth but those were just the tip of the iceberg compared to the kind of responsibility she had to face as a mother."We will do it," Keith said making Lindsey turn sharply at him. She wasn't sure why Keith changed his mind so suddenly, the last time she checked, he didn't want to have anything to do with him."Okay, Lindsey do you agree?" Chairman Winslow asked looking at her. He was trying to

Chapter: Chapter 92Audrey burst into laughter immediately after Sharon sighed out of the talk show. "What's this?" Audrey asked looking at her laptop. "Did I just watch a soap opera or something?" She asked again. The ending wasn't just what she expected. She wasn't sure what she was expecting but she knew for sure that the way the talk show had ended wasn't just the ending she was expecting."Do you think this is the time to shine your teeth like a fool," Audrey turned towards the door and saw her mother Carolyn. She didn't need to ask her if she was okay since her facial expression and the tone of her voice already answered that."Pack your back, we are going back to New York," Audrey raised a brow at her wondering where that was coming all of a sudden."Mum, I thought you said you were planning something and that I don't have to lift a finger?" Audrey asked just to be sure she remembered correctly what Carolyn had said."Do you think I don't know

Chapter: Chapter 91Lindsey felt a cold chill run down her spine, she never had any abortion like Tamarah had accused her but she knew where that story was leading, her past was going to be brought to the limelight and it wasn't going to be good for her."Why are you suddenly quiet Lindsey? Before you think of suing Nancy, why don't you first confirm if you are truly a woman?" Tamarah spat angrily."Wait, we are getting lost here, what abortion are you talking about?" Jenna asked. Sharon didn't bother to ask anything since she already heard the story from Nancy, she just relaxed in her seat watching to know how the drama unfolds."Lindsey, Did you have an abortion for your husband because you weren't ready to be a mother?" Jenna asked again making Tamarah let out a soft mockery laugh."For her husband, Jenna trust me, it would have been a lot better if Keith was the one responsible for the pregnancy," Tamarah began making everyone interested in what s
