he walks inside," She whispered. Her head is spinning already. She could barely think straight to come up with a solution. "And I asked us not to make love here. We could have just g

this. First, you got robbed. Then you meet an old friend who gave you a loan of $1 million? That's absurd! It's not even adding up. Is that all? Why do I have a feeling you're hiding something? Does this loan come with a condition?" asked Sophia. From Thompson's body language, she could discern he's got a skeleton in his cupboard. Aside from losing his phone and cash to a robbery, Thompson doesn't seem so excited talking about the huge sum Duncan gave him. He still can't get the robbery off his head. "I guess I have to tell you already. You deserve to know the truth," "What damn truth are you talking about?" Sophia's nostrils flared up. She was eager and impatient to hear what Thompson had to say. "I, erm...erm. Gosh! How do I do this?" He stammered and disclosed to Sophia that as part of the loan repayment condition, she'd be getting married to Duncan's billionaire Son, Fabio, in a contract marriage that would last for 5 years.

Are you aware I'm in a serious relationship with Johnson? Dad, I'm disappointed. I don't even know this guy. How do I love someone I haven't met yet? Does that even make sense to you? You could have done better," Sophia wailed. She felt betrayed and humiliated that her father would choose her over material things. "Don't you dare talk back to me? Who gives a damn about love? Just give it time. You'll grow to love him. When I met your mother, she never loved me. She even hated me the first time. But when she started developing feelings for me, I craved more. You're going to get married to his son and that's final. I guess you're not too young to become an orphan, right?" Sounding the threat, Thompson hinted
