"Who has time for all that drama?" she often wonders. However, fate had other plans for her when she met Ethan Harrison. Despite his affection, Bella remained uninterested. Unfortunately, when her sister Julian was diagnosed with Leukemia, Ethan offered to take care of the hospital funds. Bella accepted Ethan's marriage proposal, but on the condition that it would be a contract marriage, which would last only until she cleared her sister's medical expenses. Although she did not harbor any feelings for Ethan, she agreed to marry him. Ethan is head over heels in love with Bella and is determined to make her see that true love does exist. Will Bella finally let her guard down and fall for Ethan's charms or leave after the contract? The answer lies in her hands.

Love's Deadline Chapter 1 Rising Challenges

In the city of Eve Heights lived Bella, an infamous yet exceptionally talented young hairstylist. Her skills were unparalleled, and her mind was wholly focused on her business.

Bella owned a small salon and struggled to attract attention. In a city dominated by the wealthy, who preferred luxurious salons, Bella often felt invisible.

Despite her talent surpassing that of any high-end salon, she remained unnoticed. But everything was about to change.

"Come on, sleepyheads! Rise and shine! We've got a long day ahead of us," Bella exclaimed, rousing her sisters, Julian and Amelia from their slumber.

Amelia groaned, her voice barely audible, "I'm too tired to get up."

But Bella wasn't one to take no for an answer. She pulled Amelia's legs off the bed, making her giggle. "Okay, okay, I'm up!" Amelia said, giving in to Bella's infectious energy.

Julian trudged into the bathroom for her morning shower while Bella and Amelia playfully wrestled on the bed. But Bella knew they couldn't waste any more time. "Come on, Amelia, we've got work to do! No more dilly-dallying," she said, gently coaxing her out of bed.

With a smile, Amelia gave in and got ready for the day ahead. Excitement filled the air as they all prepared to go out. Bella's voice boomed through the house as she announced their plans to visit the salon. "Dad!" she yelled. "We're off to the salon!"

Maxwell emerged from the kitchen with plates in hand, questioning why they weren't having breakfast. "Don't worry Dad," Bella assured him. "We'll grab something when we get to the salon. There are a ton of customers to attend to today!"

Despite Maxwell's pleas, the girls were determined to stick to their plan. "I'll meet you all there then," he finally relented. With a nod, the girls breezed out the door, eager to start their day of shared joy and creativity.

As Bella and her sisters arrived at the salon, they were approached by Mr. Benson, their landlord. "Good morning, Mr. Benson," Bella greeted him while unlocking the shop. "You know your rent has almost expired, and I've increased the price," he said, with a raised eyebrow.

Bella and her sisters looked at him in surprise. "What?!" they exclaimed. "I don't understand, Mr. Benson. You increased the rent last time, and now you are doing it again?" Bella asked, her voice firm.

Mr. Benson scoffed and rolled his eyes dramatically. "So what? If you don't comply, you can look for someplace else," he said.

Bella didn't want to argue with him, so she agreed to pay the rent before the end of the month. "I understand, Mr. Benson, but give me some time, and I will pay you the money."

Mr. Benson smiled and sighed deeply. "Good, see you then," he replied as he walked away.

Julian frowned. "That man is so annoying and mean," she said in a low tone. "He deserves to be taught a lesson," Amelia added sharply.

Bella asked them to forget about it and focus on their work. "Let's all stay positive and give our customers the best service," she advised.

Her sisters nodded, and they went into the salon, determined to make the most of their day.

Imagine walking into a salon where every detail is perfectly placed, and the ambiance is so warm and friendly that you instantly feel at home. That's exactly how it feels to step into Bella's Beauty Salon.

Bella and her two sisters are the brains and talent behind the salon. They work tirelessly to make sure everything is set up and ready to go before the first customer walks in. Bella, in particular, takes care of everything, from the salon to her sisters' education.

As the day progresses, Bella starts to worry about the increased rent and how to pay it on time. But she knows she has to keep her worries to herself and focus on giving her customers the best experience they could ever imagine.

And boy, they do deliver!

As more customers walk in, Bella and her sisters gracefully move between them with precision, expertly wielding scissors and brushes to turn ordinary hair into a masterpiece.

But admist the hustle and bustle, their father Maxwell walks in. He's a funny man who loves to make people happy. He greets everyone with a smile and says, "Welcome to the salon that makes your dream hair come true. You can never get disappointed with Bella's Beauty Salon!"

Everyone laughed, and Bella gazed at him and smiled, "Dad, you are so funny!" She said, her brows furrowed, grateful for his support always. But then, Julian's phone rings, and it's obvious that she's not happy to receive the call.

"Why are you calling me, Andrew? Why can't you let me be for God's sake!" She exclaimed, drawing the customer's attention towards her.

She excuses herself and goes outside to answer.

Bella pleads with the customer Julian was attending to for a few minutes of patience, and the customer nods, understanding the situation. It's clear that Bella and her family are not just running a salon but a place where everyone feels like family.

"Andrew, I'm done with all this! I just want to focus on my life right now, and you aren't helping matters." Julian said, with anger.

Andrew pleaded with Julian to listen to him but to no avail. Julian dropped the call and went back into the salon in a hurry.

Bella could sense that Julian was angry, she gave her a signal to calm down and focus on the work in front of her. Julian took a deep breath, attempting to regain her composure.

As the day neared its end and clients were settled, Bella approached Julian with concern, "Hey, what happened? You were all worked up earlier. Don't tell me it's because of that boy Andrew." Bella inquired.

Julian nodded, "He's asking me to forgive him and accept him back." She answered, her voice tense.

Bella laughed and sighed deeply, "He must be very stupid to think that you will go back to him after what he did to you, or are you considering it?" Bella asked, her eyes wide open.

Julian exhaled deeply and kept mute.

Bella shook her head, her eyes lit up with surprise, "Love is crazy, who has time for all that drama?" She asked, "I don't believe in love and won't fall for it either." Bella declared.

Bella stated that she's better off alone, with no heartbreak, and no drama. She admitted that she was okay, without any man in her life.

"I assure you, you will fall in love one day." Julian chuckled. "Never!" Bella exclaimed.

Amelia burst into the conversation, uninvited. "What are you guys arguing about seriously?" She asked, curious.

It was getting dark, and they all needed to go home, so Bella dismissed every conversation. "Enough with the questions, let's all go home." She said, putting some things in place.

Julian and Amelia adhered to what Bella said. Meanwhile, their Dad, Maxwell, secretly went to negotiate with Bella's landlord.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
