Chapter 3: Signing a contract marriage.

Without going through it, Izabelle took the pen the table, about to sign the contract, Tony held her hand.

"Do you know that once you sign this contract, there is no going back." His voice sounded like he was warning her.

"And the husband you are marrying is not just some man I hope you know?" He continued, but Izabelle's mind wasn't there any longer. All she was chanting in her head was the reason why she was doing it.

Before Tony could say another thing, Izabelle signed the contract, rendering the brown haired man sitting at her front speechless.

'Is this girl really okay?' Tony asked himself in his mind. She didn't even bother to go through it.

"Am done, sir." Izabelle handed the papers back to him.

"Do you even know what you just signed?"

"Huh? I don't understand?" She asked innocently.

Izabelle stretched a little from her seat, and her eyes quickly skimmed through what she signed.

"Yes, I know what I signed." She answered.

Tony did not know what to say or do at that point. He was completely rendered speechless by her actions, how can a young beautiful girl like her be so desperate for money.

"Why did you sign the contract without going through it?" Tony couldn't help but ask at that point because he was so confused.

"I will tell you that later, sir."

"My name is Tony." He corrected her.

"Ok, am Izabelle, what is the next thing?" She asked.

Tony just stared at the girl sitting at his front, her beauty still shone brightly amidst the tense situation, her blue pair of eyes withheld no emotions, pain was so evident in her voice and it looked like she had made up her mind, but what exactly was she going through that made her this desperate, she didn't even bother to go through the contract, maybe she felt like she would be able to handle the situation but unknown to her it is definitely more than what she would be able to handle.

"Tony." Her tiny voice called, a little bit shaky.

"Can we forget about that now, I know I sound desperate but don't mind me, if I don't get this money today I might lose someone very special to me, please let me know the next thing to do." She pleaded.

After exhaling deeply to get rid of the tension, he listened to her plea and handed her another file.

"Just fill in your details and everything you need to know about your husband, and the contract is there."

Izabelle wrote everything she wanted in return, and all was about her brother. She didn't even remember herself. Quickly, she was done, and she returned the file back.

Tony looked at the girl sitting before him, as if he was trying to communicate with his eyes.

"It's done," he said.

Four hours later.

Izabelle moved around at the front of the operation room. The doctor told her that the payment was late but not too late. All she hoped for was for the operation to be successful.

She turned around, and her eyes met with that of the bodyguard standing at her back. She had totally forgotten about him, seeing him made her recall moments earlier.

Just ten minutes later, after she signed the contract, everything she stated that she wanted in the contract was executed. Her life changed immediately after she signed the contract. Before she got to the hospital, Harry was already moved to a VVIP ward, and within an hour, the operation commenced.

Everything she had always wished for in her life was coming to pass one by one, and she is now in riches. She was provided with a house, car and many other things.

Earlier, when she was coming back to the hospital earlier, she used that time to go through the contract, a tears rolled down her cheek the moment she realized what she had signed, but she didn't cry out she just let the tears rolled down because it worth crying for a whole day.

Accrording the contract, she has agreed to marry a stranger and must also bear a child for the stranger, only the man own the child and after that they have no business together again.

The thought of that made her knee weak on the spot, but she tried to wave the thought aside immediately.

"Izabelle!!!" Charlotte called out as she rushed towards Izabelle, she was scared and angry at the same time, she was scared because of Harry's operation and angry because Izabelle didn't let her know she was going through all this.

Harry is like a brother to her, no matter how stubborn he is, she still took him as his family, but she couldn't comphrend why something like this will be going on and Izabelle wouldn't let her know about it.

Izabelle turned around. She rushed towards charlotte and hugged her, and she started crying, so loud like a baby.

She needed someone to pat her back, someone to tell her that evrythinhg,will be okay, as in the operation will be successful.

She doesn't care about anything right now. All she wanted was to see Harry fine again, being able to walk and play around again. She won't mind him being stubborn anymore.

Charlotte forgot about her anger, she hated seeing her best friend like this, she dreserves the best, all Izabelle ever wanted was to be live a simple live and also chase her dreams, she doesn't even deserve all this trouble.

Charlotte's eyes became teary as she pats izabelle's back slightly and cleaned her tears.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Charlotte assured.

Both of them sat down on the chair at the front of the place, Charlotte made Izabelle rest her head on her chest, they didn't say anything to each other for a while, just lost in their own thoughts, waiting for the operation to be over, since the operation is for five hours.

"Izabelle, why didn't you tell me?" Charlotte finally asked when she noticed Izabelle had calmed down.

"Even if i told you about it, is there anywhere you plan to get that huge amount of money." She spoke slowly.

"At least you would have let me know what is going on not carrying the burden all by yourself." She retorted.

"Am sorry." She said as she played with her fingers.

"So where did you get the money from? Did you take out a loan?"

"No….. but it's a long story," was all Izabelle said. She didn't have the courage to tell Charlotte about the contract marriage.

"What do you mean by a long story? Huh? Wait, Izabelle, did you steal it?" The last question came out as a whisper from Charlotte's mouth.

"Steal? Of course, I didn't steal, but" She paused before continuing.

"I did worse." She whispered back and nibbled her lower lips, blinking her eyes innocently.

"Oh my God, why didn't you tell me before taking decisions? What did you really do?" Fear was now evident in Charlotte's voice.

"We can't say it here. Let's talk about that later." After this, Charlotte didn't say anymore, although she was still curious to know what happened.

Just as Izabelle was expecting, some nurses came out of the operation room together with harry on the bed, but his eyes were still closed, seeing they did not cover all his body probably he was still alive, Izabelle thought.

The nurses said nothing to her as they moved past her, she couldn't remove her eyes from them as she watched their back.

Charlotte stood up and pat her back slowly, calm down. Obviously, it's successful, and then the doctor came out.

He looled at Izabelle for a while as if testing her patience.

"Congratulations, madam, the operation was successful." He finally said what Izabelle wanted to hear, earning a loud sound of joy from her and Charlotte.

Tears rolled down her cheek, but it was tears of hapiness, it was as if a thorn had been removed from her heart.

She moved closer to Charlotte and hugged her tightly, a hug that indicated thanks so much for being with me, friends forever, both were happy.

"I knew the operation will be successful because our Harry is a strong….."

"Excuse me, madam, I was told to give you this." A voice from behind interrupted Charlotte.

Charlotte turned back and realized the man was talking to Izabelle.

'Madam?' She thought, but to her surprise, Izabelle collected an envelope from the man, and he bowed after handing it to her.

Charlotte's curiosity grew this time around. She wanted to know what was happening and why Izabelle was referred to as madam.

But Izabelle didn't say anything to her, and she tried to act like everything was fine before Charlotte.

"Charlotte, please stay here, I need to use the restroom," she said and walked away even before Charlotte could say anything.

After Izabelle made sure she was far from Charlotte, she opened the letter and read it.

'Izabelle, I wanted to let you know that you now have a house and a car. Anytime you are ready, just let your bodyguard know, and he will take you to your house. Also, your credit card is in the master bedroom. So I am sure you don't lack anything as demanded by your husband.'

'The most important thing to note, is that your husband will be coming to pick you in the next six days, that's on Saturday, he must meet you at home no matter how busy you are.'

'That's all. Make sure your husband meets you at home, Tony repeated in the note before putting a full stop.'

Sadness replaced her hapiness, but she made sure it wasn't evident in her, and she assured herself that everything would be fine before returning to the hospital.
