"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

“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

Steve and James were sitting at the office after a brief meeting with the staff, apologizing for the scene at the party, both discussing the recent events that had unfolded. "Hmm, I told you, James, I warned you from the start; I knew this whole marriage thing was going to do you no good but harm, " he said. "How do you think your dad feels about you right now? He doesn't even trust you anymore, and you know he isn't getting any younger." James looked down, feeling a sense of shame and guilt. He knew that he had let his father down, and it was eating away at him."I'm so confused right now, I feel empty right now," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know how to face him, I don't know how to look at him in the face anymore, and also Bella, they are both my only concern." Steve quickly asked, "Quick one, you said Emily's pregnancy isn't for you, right?" James nodded, feeling a sense of confusion and uncertainty."I thought the same too, Steve," he said. "I could s

Miranda was so tired as she tried to relax, she felt like something was wrong. She had been trying to calm her nerves for a while now, but she just couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She looked around the room, trying to distract herself, but her eyes kept drifting back to the empty space where her sister should be. She got up and walked over to Mia, who was sitting on the couch, staring at her phone. "Mia, I've been willing to ask, but something seems off to me. What's going on?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm. "I haven't seen my sister since my return, neither is any of her belongings in the room. Don't you think it's weird?"Mia looked up, a look of concern on her face. "Don't worry, she will be back real soon," she said, trying to reassure Miranda. "Probably she's busy at work and about her belongings; she kept them somewhere, reasons best known to her." But Miranda wasn't convinced. She had a feeling that something was wrong, and she couldn't shak

Mrs. Valerie prepared that morning, ready for the day. She walked into Emily's room, where her daughter was sitting on her bed, looking a bit down. "C’mon baby, you know you can't be like this for the rest of your life; if you're very sure he is responsible for the child and has refused to take responsibility, it's okay; I will take the responsibility. I already made a promise to myself to take care of you and the baby, okay? You both are the only thing that matters to me right now" she said, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "So It's high time you forget about that son of a bitch that got you pregnant and let's focus on having a healthy baby." She looked up at her mother, a mixture of emotions on her face."I know, Mum; after all, I've put you through all these years, you're still standing by me; thank you so much, Mum," Emily said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed, that's all." Mrs. Valerie sat down beside her daughter, putting a comfo
