'My grandson! You are finally here!'. Mr Harvey ran to Aaron to hug him. Rhea couldn't see Aaron's face clearly because of the old man but she thought in her head, 'he is quite tall '. Aaron came in with his grandfather and Rhea finally had a good look at him. He looked like he just walked out of a painting. Aaron sat down with a distant look on his face. He just wanted to listen to what his grandfather had called him and leave as soon as possible. He didn't spare Rhea a glance. 'So Isabelle my dear , what do you think of my grandson's look? Hundred percent husband material right?'. Nanny rose wanted to facepalm herself. The old man was so excited to sell off his grandson and the grandson himself is sitting there calmly like he didn't hear his grandfather's words. Rhea felt as if she was the one begging for a wife. She felt indifferent though, 'fair enough ' Rhea responded in a bored tone. Aaron finally looked at the woman sitting across him. She had long and curly hair and a very attractive face but her eyes looked sharp. She looks like someone who has gone through a lot and seems disinterested in life. 'Hmmnn, interesting '.
***(Isabelle in Rhea's body)
'From now on miss Rhea, this is your house as well'. Isabelle was given a tour of the house and she was having a headache trying to remember everywhere. 'Just call me Rhea and I will call you Alex', Alex agreed to it 'Alright Rhea, the contract states that you will be my wife for a hundred days. After a hundred days, we will go out separate ways and I will pay you generously for your help', Isabelle nodded in understanding and Alex continued. 'For these hundred days, I won't ask you for anything except one thing. You are free to go to anywhere in this house except one place, the room at the end of the hallway. So not ever go there, if you can obey this instruction then everything will be fine '. Isabelle was confused but she agreed anyway.
Isabelle sat down in her room confused about everything. She had just finished taking a shower and was drinking the warm water a maid had given her. A lot of things was running through her mind. 'Has Alex always been unable to walk? Why does he have a secret room? What is he hiding?', Isabelle decided to sleep. She remembered what he had said, 'If you need a job or anything then come to me and if you decide not to work then it's also fine. I have more than enough money '. Isabelle scoffed, 'he just had to brag about his money'. There is no way she is staying at home and there is no way she is going to meet him for a job.
THE NEXT DAY
'Good morning Alex. Bye Alex, I am going to work '. Alex watched as Isabelle rushed out of the house. He pressed a button on the table and Levi came in. 'Good morning boss, are you enjoying your coffee?', Levi seemed to be in a good mood. 'Well, as you can see, I am. Find out where Rhea is going to work. We can't risk having her work for just anybody. She is the daughter in law of the smiths now and mom won't be happy to hear her working'. Alex slowly sipped his coffee. 'Well sir, I had recommended our company to madam but I am not sure if that's where she's going to '. Alex stopped sipping and slowly dropped his cup of coffee. ' I told her to ask me for a job but she went to you instead? Why didn't you tell her to come see me instead?'. Levi was starting to sweat. His boss was really petty. 'Boss you see, the thing is.....' Levi ran away without finishing his statement while Alex tried to catch up with him in his wheelchair. 'Just let me get a hold of you Levi, you will spend a month in Africa!'.
***( THE MORGAN FAMILY)
'Mum look! Felix's grandfather has announced that his grandson is getting married next week. The engagement will be held privately in the midst of family members '. Anna ran excitedly to Ava and showed her the news. 'Anna, I thought Felix said he wasn't on good terms with his grandfather. Also, Felix has a brother you know. It could be him instead'. , Ava didn't want to get her hopes too high .' come on mom, we all know that Felix older brother doesn't like girls. That is why I went to Felix instead. Felix's brother is very rich..'. Ava quickly covered her daughter's mouth. 'Shut up Anna! If Felix hears all these , he will not support you again and he will abandon you'. Anna scoffed, 'Don't worry mum. Let's tell Felix about this so we can get our outfits ready '. Anna was squealing happily. 'I just hope you are right', Ava said. Just then, there was a knock on the door, 'Who is there?'. Felix came in, 'Hello mother in-law. I hope you are well?'. Ava smiled and said with in a tone of disappointment. 'My dear, I am not your mother in law yet. We couldn't complete the engagement because of Isabelle and now she has gone missing from the hospital. Her father has been looking for her everywhere, it's a good thing you didn't marry her or else she would have caused a lot of trouble '. Felix frowned a bit. He had no idea that Isabelle was missing. He didn't hate Isabelle but she doesn't have a strong position in her family and that was why he went for Anna instead. 'Hi Felix, guess what?'. Anna came inside with happiness evident on her face. Felix hugged her and asked lovingly, 'What's making you so happy today?'. Anna showed him her phone. 'Look, your grandfather has announced our wedding '. Felix was startled. 'Huh? Our wedding? '. He collected Anna's phone to check the news, 'Mr Harvey Hilton announced the wedding of his grandson? I never heard that my brother has a fiancee so who is he getting married to?', Anna chuckled. 'Don't be so confused darling. It's quite obvious that it's your wedding they're talking about. Your grandfather must have found out about us. He couldn't stay angry with you for too long '. Felix was confused but modded in agreement. 'That must be the case '. Ava watched them both in excitement. 'Now let's plan for your outfits'.

IN A DIMLY LIGHTED ROOM
'Is everything done?' Mr Harvey asked someone on the phone while Rhea sat across him. He dropped his phone after he was done and smiled at Rhea,' Don't worry dear, the fish has taken the bait '. Rhea smiled lightly while Aaron sat there looking at them both in confusion. 'What are they planning?'.
