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."

You didn't get the job.?Isabella dropped onto the couch, exhaling deeply. "Far from it girl, I got more than the job. James Reed offered me an insane proposal." "What kind of proposal?" Mia's eyes widened Isabella hesitated before blurting out the truth. "He wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend, then marry him, and if possible, bore him an heir, and in return, he pays me the sum of $500,000."Mia's jaw dropped. "What? That's insane! And amazing! At the same time"Isabella nodded. "I know, right? I'm still trying to process all of it, it seems like a dream to me.""Tell me everything! What did he say exactly?" as she jumped up in excitement.Isabella took a deep breath, recounting the meeting.

"Let's get down to business. You're here for the money, and I'm here for...well, let's just say you're a means to an end."Isabella's eyes widened, hurt by his blunt words.James sneered. "Don't play coy, Isabella. You were desperate for that money."Isabella's face burned. "James, that's not—"He interrupted, his tone condescending. "Don't deny it, Isabella. I'm sure you've used part of the money I gave you to pay for your sister's surgery, and you were drowning in debt."Isabella's eyes stung with tears.James's gaze turned glacial. "And don't think for a second you can back out now. You're in this to

But as she turned the corner, she collided with James."Ah! Oh no!" she screamed as her towel fell."I didn't see anything, Isabella. I swear," James assured her, quickly turning around."Get out! Just get out!" Isabella exclaimed, hastily picking up her towel."Isabella, I—""Please, James! Just leave!" she pleaded.James nodded and backed away.

"James, it's not what it looks like."James looking shocked, asked, "It's not what it looks like? So tell me, what does it look like then? I don't know who you are, Mister, please leave my house."Alex slowly stood up, his eyes never leaving James.

"I don't care to know who you are, you're not welcome here, so leave!"Alex's smile grew wider. "You're just a wealthy playboy. You don't know what Isabella needs."Isabella stood up, her voice shaking. "Alex, stop.

"I'm glad you told me everything," he said, his voice filled with understanding.Isabella smiled weakly. "Me too."James took a deep breath, changing the subject.

Mr. Reed answered, his voice cautious."Mr. Reed," a distorted voice spoke on the other end, "I see you received my message.""Who is this?"

"Someone who knows the truth about your son's little charade.""What charade are you talking about and what do you want?"
