Mrs. Valerie welcomed her daughter back home with open arms, tears of joy streaming down her face."Welcome back home my darling," she said, holding Emily close. "I'm so sorry for what you've been through. I feel like I've failed you as a mother." But Emily quickly interrupted her mother, saying she should be the one apologizing, not her.“Mum, you shouldn't be apologizing to me," she said. "I'm the one who should be apologizing to you.

“That does not answer my question: what's going on between you two, and what marriage contract are you both talking about?” Mr. Reed asked as he entered the room. The room became silent, as they both stared at each other, unsure of how to respond. The tension in the room was palpable, and Mr. Reed's expression turned from curious to concerned.“Can somebody answer me? Mr. Reed asked again, his voice a little louder this time. Bella took a deep breath and began to explain. "I'm sorry sir, the marriage was all a lie," she said, her voice shaking. "It was a contract, an arrangement between me and James. He wanted someone so he could sign a deal off, while I, on the other hand, needed money to clear off my debt and my sister's hospital bill." Mr. Reed's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at James, then back at Bella."You both gotta be kidding me. What do you mean?" Mr. Reed asked, his voice filled with confusion. "So you both are trying to tell me you signed a marriage contract, and

Mr. Reed stood in his room, pacing around, waiting for James to come in. He was furious and confused, and he didn't know what to make of the situation.As James entered, "What is she talking about, son? Can someone explain to me?" He looked taken aback, and he tried to deny it. "Dad, I have no idea," he said, shaking his head.Mr. Reed's expression turned incredulous. "What do you mean you have no idea?" he asked, his voice rising. "I'm sure we all heard her mention her daughter being pregnant for you. When did all of these happen without me knowing?" James looked down, avoiding his father's gaze. "It's not what you think, Dad," he said, trying to explain.But Mr. Reed was having none of it. "Now it's not what I think? What do you think I think, Mr. Man? Do you realize the embarrassment you've caused me right in front of people out there?" he said, his voice filled with anger. "You're telling me that you didn't get some girl pregnant and then abandon her? You're telling me that you

"Oh my God! Dad, yes we are, you startled us," James answered, as he stuttered.He tried to play it cool, but it was clear that he was nervous. His wife, on the other hand, seemed to be seething with anger and frustration. She had been forced to come to this dinner party, and she was not happy about it.As they both stared at each other, faking a smile, they hopped down and hugged him. "I've been waiting for you both for the longest, I thought I was going to get a helping hand from you both, but it's okay, everything all set," he said, his voice filled with excitement. He seemed to be oblivious to the tension between James and Bella, and he just kept on smiling and chatting away. They both exchanged a look and for a moment, they just stared at each other."So, how was your day, dear? You look as amazing as always; my son is really doing a great job, isn't it; you know, he learned from the best," he said, turning to Bella. She forced a smile onto her face, trying to play along as she

As he arrived at her apartment, his heart began to beat with different thoughts running through it. Is she going to give him a listening ear? he thought to himself. He had been thinking about this moment for a while now, and he was determined to make it count. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and pressed the doorbell. He waited for an answer, his heart pounding in his chest.The door opened, and Mia came out to check who was at the door. She looked at him with a mixture of surprise and annoyance. "What do you want, Mr. Billionaire?" she asked rudely after seeing him. "You're the least expected, you know," she added, her tone dripping with sarcasm. James smiled, trying to appear calm and collected. "Good day, Mia," he greeted, trying to ignore her rudeness.Mia raised an eyebrow, clearly not impressed by his greeting. "There is absolutely nothing good about the day and you haven't answered my question?" she asked, her voice firm. "And besides, whoever you came here to see is

What's with the urgency?" he asked, just after he saw his Dad leave.James looked up at him, feeling a sense of relief that his friend was there to talk to."Besides, why haven't you been coming to work like before, what's going on?" Steve asked, his brow furrowed with concern. James sighed, feeling a sense of frustration. "Let's just leave that aside; I have a lot going on with me right now; my dad is on my neck right now, and I sincerely do not know why I'm having this feeling like this love thing isn't for me," he said, his voice laced with desperation.Steve's expression turned serious. "Woo, calm down, man, what's going on?" he asked, his voice soothing. "I know whenever you sound this way, something is definitely up between you and your wife," he added, his eyes narrowing.

"Good morning, sir," his secretary greeted him as he walked into the office.“Morning" he replied and kept walking, not even breaking his stride. "Sir, after you were absent for days, you have a lot on your table to attend to and a few meetings," his secretary called out after him.James stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said, "Not now, please. Reschedule everything. I have a lot going on with me." He turned back around and continued walking to his office, his mind preoccupied with his thoughts.As he walked into his office, he was greeted by the sight of his dad sitting patiently in one of the chairs in front of his desk. He looked up at him, "You know, I've been wondering if putting my company in your care was a great idea." James felt a pang of guilt and anxiety as he walked over to his desk and sat down. "Good morning, Dad," he said, trying to sound cheerful. His dad looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer to his question."That doesn't answer my question," his

Mrs. Valerie, stood in front of the police officer, her eyes blazing with anger and frustration. "Look, officer, I've been coming here countless times. I really need to see my daughter, and I want her released," she said, her voice firm and determined. The officer, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression, shook his head. "I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't see her, neither can she be released without you coming with her attorney; besides, we both know the kind of crime she committed: kidnapping and attempted murder, for God's sake," he said, his voice firm but polite.Her face turned red with anger, her eyes flashing with indignation. "Do you know who I am? Do I look like I'm here to joke?" she exclaimed, her voice rising. "What are you even insinuating? That I can't see my daughter? She is my daughter and I have every right as a mother to see her." The officer took a step back, his hands held up in a calming gesture. "I'm not insinuating anything, ma'am. I'm just following the

CHAPTER 1
Isabella slumped onto her bed, surrounded by stacks of unpaid bills. Her best friend, Mia, sat beside her, going through a glossy magazine, concern etched on her face."Isabella, you’ve been quiet for too long and you kinda look restless. What’s going on?” she asked gently, setting the magazine aside.“It’s just... everything is piling up, you know? I lost my job last month, and now the bills are starting to come in. Miranda's surgery is next week, and I still can't afford it. I don't know what to do, Mia," Isabella confessed, tears welling up in her eyes. Mia’s brow furrowed. “But you were doing so well at your place of work! What happened?”"It was a budget cut, They let go of half the staff. I thought I was safe, but...” She replies with tears full.It's okay, we'll figure something out. You're not alone in this, you know you just can't give up! There has to be something we can do." Mia assures her.Isabella sighed, frustration and despair mingling in her chest. "I've applied ever...
