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?

Dinner invitation

"Sorry," Kate whispered, glancing at Joe, who looked tense.

"Sorry for what?" Joe asked.

"Because... my honesty will hurt you," Kate replied anxiously. "I don't mean to make you sad, I just... I just feel uneasy. I can't let them deceive you... But I'm also afraid that if you get angry with them and tell them what you know, they'll accuse me of telling you, and I might get into trouble," she continued.

Joe gave a slight smile, looking down.

"It's okay... I deserve this, and you don't need to worry... I won't tell them," he said.

"No one deserves betrayal," Kate replied, placing her hand on Joe's thigh. "The person who should know this best is you if Isabella is serious about this marriage being just a contract. You're her lover, the one closest to her, but why didn't she tell you? Isn't that strange?" she wondered angrily.

Joe stayed silent, recalling his last meeting with Isabella.
