THE CONTRACT THAT TURNED INTO FOREVER
EPISODE 1: THE UNUSUAL OFFER
Alexander
Bella, can you come to my office right now? I need to talk to you about something important. It’s urgent.
Isabela
Good evening, Sir Alex 😊 Is everything okay? It’s already late… but sure, I’m on my way. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.
Alexander
Thank you. Please come alone. And don’t worry, nothing bad happened. I just need to discuss something that concerns you and me personally.
Isabela
I’m here, Sir Alex. I’m standing outside your office. May I come in?
Alexander
Yes, come in. Have a seat. Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Water?
Isabela
Water is fine, thank you, Sir. So… what is this important matter you want to talk about? You made me a little nervous 😅
Alexander
I’m sorry if I made you feel that way. Let me be direct, okay? You know my family has been pressuring me to get married for years now. They keep introducing me to women they think are suitable, and they won’t stop until I finally settle down.
Isabela
Oh… I know about that, Sir. Everyone in the office talks about it sometimes. But that’s a good thing, right? You will finally have a family of your own.
Alexander
It’s not that simple, Bella. I don’t want to marry someone just because my family says so. And I don’t have time to date or look for someone. My work takes almost all my time. So… I have a proposal for you.
Isabela
A proposal? 😳 What kind of proposal, Sir?
Alexander
I want you to marry me.
Isabela
…
…
…
Excuse me? 😨😨 Did I read that right? You want me… to marry you???
Alexander
Yes. But it will just be a contract marriage. A fake marriage. We will sign an agreement that says we will be husband and wife only for two years. After that, we will get a divorce and go back to our own lives.
Isabela
Sir Alex, are you serious? This is not a joke, right? Why me? Why not someone else? There are so many beautiful and rich women who want to be with you.
Alexander
Because I trust you, Bella. You are honest, hardworking, and you never ask for anything more than what you deserve. I know you won’t take advantage of me or my family. And I know you will respect the agreement. I will give you everything you need. I will pay all your bills, help your family, and even give you a big amount of money when the contract ends.
Isabela
But Sir… marriage is supposed to be about love, right? It’s something sacred. How can we just do it like it’s just a business deal? 😔
Alexander
I know it sounds wrong, but right now, this is the only solution I have. And I promise you, I will make sure you are comfortable and happy during those two years. I will treat you with respect and kindness, always. You don’t have to love me, and I don’t expect you to. We just need to pretend in front of everyone.
Alexander

Isabela
Okay, Sir. I will think about it. I will let you know my decision soon.
Alexander
Thank you, Bella. Thank you for listening to me. I know I’m asking for something impossible, but you are my only hope.
📍 Back at Bella’s Apartment…
Cloe
Bella!!! You’re home already? 😱 What did Sir Alex want to talk about? Did you do something wrong? Did you get fired??? Tell me everything!!! 😭😭
Isabela
Chloe… you won’t believe what happened. He asked me to marry him. 😔
Cloe
WHAT??? 😳😳😳 IS THIS A DREAM??? OUR BOSS ASKED YOU TO MARRY HIM??? AND YOU ARE STILL ALIVE??? 😂😂
Isabela
It’s not like that… he said it’s just a contract marriage. Fake marriage. We will act like a couple for two years, then we separate. He said it’s just to stop his family from forcing him to marry someone else.
Cloe
Oh… so it’s just business? Hmm… and what did you say? Did you say yes???
Isabela
I told him I will think about it. But Chloe… I don’t know what to do. On one hand, it can help my family a lot. My mom is sick, and we need money for her medicine. But on the other hand… it feels so wrong. Marriage should be real, right?
Cloe
Oh, Bella… I understand how you feel. It’s a big decision. But whatever you choose, I’m here with you, okay? Just follow what your heart says. But remember… sometimes what starts as fake can become real, you know? 😉
Isabela
Chloe!!! Stop it!!! 😂😂 This is serious! I’m scared… what if I make the wrong choice?
Cloe
Then we will face it together, bestie! Now go rest. You need to think clearly. Good night, I love you! 😘
Isabela
Good night, I love you too 😘
EPISODE 2: MY ANSWER
📍 Time: 8:30 AM | Location: Office
Isabela
Good morning, Sir Alex. I’ve thought about your offer.
Alexander
Good morning, Bella. Really? And… what did you decide?
Isabela
I’ll do it. But I have conditions too.
Alexander
Anything. Just tell me what you want.
Isabela
First – we will respect each other’s space and privacy.
Second – no one will force us to do things we are not comfortable with.
Third – you will help my family, like you said.
And last… we will end everything exactly after two years. No extensions.
Alexander
I agree to all of them. I promise I will keep every word. Thank you, Bella. You have no idea how much this means to me.
Isabela
I hope I won’t regret this, Sir.
Alexander
You won’t. I will make sure of that. I’ll have the contract prepared today. We can sign it tomorrow.
Cloe
Bestie!!! Did you decide already??? 🤭
Cloe
REALLY??? 😲 And how did he react???
Isabela
He was happy. We agreed on terms, and we will sign the contract tomorrow. It’s all settled now.
Cloe
Oh Bella… I know it’s hard, but I’m here for you, okay? Whatever happens, I’m on your side! 💖
Isabela
Thank you, Chloe. I feel a little scared, but also… hopeful? I don’t know. 😔
Cloe
Maybe deep down, you already know that this will turn into something beautiful! 😉
Isabela
Stop teasing me! 😂 Let’s just see what happens.
Cloe
Okay okay! But I’m telling you… things are about to get interesting! 😜

Alexander
Come in, Bella. The document is ready.
Isabela
Good afternoon, Sir. I’m here.
Alexander
Here is the contract. I wrote down everything we agreed on. You can read every part carefully. If there is anything you want to change or add, just tell me.
Isabela
Everything is clear. You really included all the conditions I asked for.
Alexander
Of course. I promised you, and I always keep my word.
Isabela
Okay then… I will sign it now.
Alexander
Wait. Are you really sure? You can still change your mind. I won’t get angry.
Isabela
I’m sure. This is the best choice for me and my family.
Alexander
Alright. Then let’s sign it together.
Alexander
It’s official now. From today onwards, you are my wife on paper.
Isabela
Yes… for the next two years.
Alexander
I have arranged everything. You will move to my house starting tomorrow. And I already transferred the first payment for your mother’s treatment.
Isabela
Thank you so much, Sir. I don’t know how to repay you.
Alexander
You don’t need to repay me. Just stay true to our agreement, and everything will be fine.
Cloe
So??? Did you sign it already??? 🤭
Isabela
Yes… everything is done. I will move to his house tomorrow.
Cloe
Whaaat?! So fast?! 😲 How do you feel? Nervous? Excited? 🤔
Isabela
A little bit of everything. But I’m okay. This is what I chose.
Cloe
Don’t worry, okay? It’s just like living with a roommate… but richer and more handsome! 😂😂
Isabela
Chloe!!! You are really something else! 😂
Cloe
I’m just telling the truth! Anyway, I’ll help you pack your things tonight. We still have time to talk and eat snacks! 🥰
Isabela
Thank you, Chloe. I really don’t know what I would do without you.
Cloe
You don’t have to thank me. That’s what best friends are for! Now let’s go! 🛍️📦
