Stuck in The Marriage Pact

Due to her family's worsening financial situation and the need to pay off her late father's debts, Isabella Quinn was forced to agree to a marriage proposal offered by Juliana Brown, to marry her son, Hunter William Brown, who had disabilities including paralysis and impotence. At that time, she had a boyfriend, Joe Fernando. However, she convinced Joe that the marriage was only temporary and that one day they would be together again. But when the marriage took place, Isabella was shocked to discover that Hunter was not as afflicted as she had thought. This fact left her feeling trapped, confused, and lacking the courage to tell either Joe or Juliana. What did she find out? Was it something that could make her fall in love with Hunter? Or the opposite? And what about Joe, who remained loyal while waiting for her?

Their annoyance

After dinner, Jake and Katrina invited everyone to the mini-cinema available in the mansion. They played a documentary of their parents' past, from childhood until their marriage, while narrating and sharing stories.

The atmosphere was warm, except for Hunter, who kept watching Sarah, who appeared very close to Davin. Davin even kissed her cheek several times. Hunter was genuinely upset, seemingly jealous, especially since his wife was fully focused on watching and listening to his grandfather's stories.

"I think I need some fresh air," he said, getting up with his cane.

Isabella quickly stood as well, supporting Hunter's back, not forgetting that she had to act as if Hunter couldn't walk properly.

"It's okay, you should stay here with them," Hunter whispered.

"But..."

"It's fine, I'll just be on the terrace," Hunter said again.

"Hunter?" Jake frowned, noticing Hunter was about to leave.
