CHAPTER 1
"Miss Evelyn? Did you hear a word I just said?" Dr. Patel's voice cut through the haze of Evelyn's thoughts.Evelyn's eyes snapped back into focus, her fingers unconsciously twisting the frayed edge of her jacket. "Yes, I... I heard. Could you run that by me one more time?"Dr. Patel leaned forward, his hands clasped on the desk. "We need to discuss Jake's treatment for his Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. If we don't act soon, I'm afraid his condition could deteriorate rapidly. We need to raise more funds for the next phase of treatment."Evelyn's stomach dropped, her mind racing. "More money? But I've already..." She trailed off, the weight of her brother's illness pressing down on her shoulders.Ever since the accident that had stolen their parents, Evelyn had become Jake's whole world - sister, caretaker, and provider rolled into one. She'd juggled jobs, from cleaning houses to waitressing. Now, she spent her nights slinging drinks at a bar, all to keep Jake's medical bills at bay. I

Evelyn's heart pounded as she approached Mr. Garrett's office. She paused at the door, smoothing her uniform and taking a deep breath. This was for Jake. She had to try.Pushing the door open, she stepped inside. "Mr. Garrett? About yesterday's conversation..."Mr. Garrett looked up from his desk, a slow smile spreading across his face. "Ah, Evelyn. I've been expecting you. Come in, come in."Evelyn hesitated, then moved closer. "I was wondering if we could revisit the topic of a raise.""Of course," Mr. Garrett said, rising from his chair. "I've been thinking about it, and I believe we can work something out."Relief washed over Evelyn. "Really? Thank you so much, I-"Her words died in her throat as Mr. Garrett circled the desk, his eyes roaming over her body. He reached out, his fingers brushing her arm. "But you understand, these things don't come for free."Evelyn recoiled, her back hitting the wall. "What are you doing?""You wanted a raise, didn't you? This is how you earn it."

Evelyn burst through the hospital doors, her heart pounding in her chest. The call she'd received moments ago echoed in her mind - Jake's condition had worsened, and the bills were now urgently due. She rushed to the doctor's office, her mind reeling."How is this possible?" Evelyn gasped, gripping the back of a chair for support. "You said his condition was stable!"Dr. Patel barely looked up from his computer screen. "I told you his condition could worsen at any time. This isn't something we can control."Evelyn's voice cracked. "Please, just give me more time. I can find the money, I swear.""Time?" Dr. Patel scoffed, finally meeting her gaze. "Your brother doesn't have time. Either you produce the funds, or we'll have to consider other options."Evelyn's world tilted. She'd lost her job, and now Jake's life hung in the balance. "Can I at least see him?" she pleaded."No," Dr. Patel said flatly, turning back to his computer. "Not until the financial situation is resolved."Desperat

Evelyn trudged up the stairs to her apartment, her shoulders slumped in defeat. Another day, another rejection. The weight of her failures pressed down on her, each step a reminder of her fading options. As she fumbled with her keys, the door swung open, revealing Mia's concerned face. Mia Chen, daughter of the CEO of Vitalis Pharmaceuticals, stood in the doorway, her long black hair ripping over her shoulders. Despite her wealthy background, evident in her designer jeans and chiffon blouse, Mia's warm brown eyes held nothing but genuine concern for her friend."Oh, honey," Mia sighed, pulling Evelyn into a tight hug. "No luck today either?"Evelyn melted into the embrace of her best friend of seven years. They had met in college, an unlikely pair - the struggling orphan and the pharmaceutical heiress. But their bond had proven stronger than any social divide."They took one look at my resume and practically shoved me out the door," Evelyn mumbled into Mia's shoulder, breathing i

"What? Twenty million dollars and Jake's treatment? What are you waiting for?" Mia's eyes widened as she paced around Evelyn's small living room, her designer heels clicking against the floor.Evelyn sat slumped on the couch, her head in her hands. She had just finished recounting the events of the previous day, and the weight of Ethan Maverick's offer hung heavy in the air. She looked up at her friend, exhaustion written across her face. "I'll never marry someone who thinks the world revolves around him. The man's ego is bigger than his bank account."Mia stopped pacing and turned to face Evelyn, her hands on her hips. "But it's fake, Evie. A contract. It's not like you have to actually fall in love with the guy."Evelyn stood up, her voice rising with frustration. "It's not about love, Mia. It's about dignity. I won't sell myself cheap, not even for twenty million.""Cheap?" Mia scoffed, picking up a framed photo of Jake from the coffee table. "Twenty million is hardly cheap. And wh

Evelyn's heels clicked against the floor as she entered the imposing Maverick Industries building. The lobby bustled with activity, men and women in suits hurrying past her. At the reception desk, a slim man with wire-rimmed glasses greeted her with a practiced smile."Ms. Martin? I'm David, Mr. Maverick's assistant. Please, follow me."He led her through a maze of corridors to an ornate oak door. "Mr. Maverick is occupied at the moment. He'll join you shortly." David gestured for her to enter.As the door closed behind her, Evelyn muttered under her breath, "Busy indeed. He has time to make my life miserable, but not to meet me on time."She surveyed the office, her eyes drawn to a shelf lined with awards. Stepping closer, she read the inscriptions, each one a testament to Ethan Maverick's influence and success."Admiring my achievements?" Ethan's voice startled her. She whirled around to face him, her chin lifted. "Just wondering how many of these you actually earned yourself."A
