Stacy sat quietly on the steps of her house, lost in her thoughts about the past, unaware of her father's arrival. "Daughter, what's troubling you?" he called out, jolting her out of her reverie. Startled, Stacy turned to face him.
"Dad, good afternoon. How was your day?" she replied, her expression devoid of a smile.
"I'm fine," her dad responded. "I came to talk to you about something important. You know you're not getting any younger, and time waits for no one."
"Dad, I know, but it's not that simple. I've been trying to find love, but it seems elusive," Stacy explained.
"And what about this contract you mentioned?"
"Stacy, you need to think about marriage. So I arranged a contract between you and Mr. Omni's son, Ethan," her father revealed.
"Dad, how could you do this? I don't even know him, let alone have feelings for him," Stacy protested. "You're not helping, you're only complicating things," she yelled, slamming the door shut in frustration.
Meanwhile, in another part of the country, Ethan sat in his office, engrossed in the newspaper's headlines. His father's sudden appearance startled him.
"Dad, what brings you here without notice?" Ethan questioned.
"Do I need to announce my visit to my own son's office?" his father retorted. "I've arranged a marriage contract between you and Mr. William's daughter, Stacy. There's no way out of it, so prepare to meet her in three weeks," he announced loudly, causing a stir among the office staff who overheard.
"I hope he agrees," the manager remarked to a nurse in a hushed tone. "I doubt it. He's always been indifferent, even to my advances," the nurse replied quietly. "But I'm here for you, if you're interested," she added, earning her a sharp slap from the manager.
Meanwhile, Ethan and his father engaged in a heated argument. "Dad, I won't let this marriage jeopardize my business," Ethan declared angrily. "That's my son. We'll discuss this further later," Mr. Omni responded before leaving Ethan's office.
As he exited, Vanessa, a colleague, attempted to confide in him about her feelings for Ethan, but he brushed her off without a glance.
"Keep your hands to yourself," he snapped, striding away with his personal assistant.
Left alone, Ethan's friend Alex approached him. "Are you really going through with this contract?" Alex inquired. "I have no choice. My company is at stake," Ethan admitted. "But what if she doesn't love you?" Alex pressed.
"Then I'll have to make her fall for me," Ethan replied determinedly. "But how?" Alex asked, perplexed.
"I don't know. I'm at a loss," Ethan admitted as he and Alex left the office, accompanied by their driver, Jeff. "Where to, sir?" Jeff asked.
"Just drive around the city until I say stop," Ethan instructed, his mind swirling with uncertainty.
At Stacy's residence
she felt compelled to reach out to her father, seeking reconciliation despite the irrevocable nature of the signed contract. With resignation weighing heavily upon her, Stacey dialed her father's number, each ring echoing her trepidation as she awaited his response.
"Hello, daughter," Mr. William's voice, suffused with contrition, penetrated the silence, offering a tentative olive branch in the wake of their discord.
"Dad, I'm also sorry about the way I banged the door on you," Stacey interjected, her words tinged with remorse. "I never meant to do so."
Acknowledging his daughter's apology with a reassuring tone, Mr. William extended his forgiveness, his paternal concern palpable even through the medium of their conversation.
With the specter of their disagreement momentarily dispelled, Stacey seized the opportunity to broach the subject of her impending shopping excursion, her apprehension tinged with a glimmer of hope.
"Will you please forgive me?" Mr. William's request hung in the air, a poignant reminder of the familial bond that united them despite their differences.
Upon receiving her father's blessing, Stacey's spirits soared, buoyed by the prospect of temporary respite from the weighty burdens of familial expectation. Determined to savor the fleeting moments of freedom afforded her, she resolved to embark on her outing with a sense of renewed purpose.
As she bid her father farewell and prepared to depart, Stacey couldn't help but feel a surge of optimism coursing through her veins. With the promise of independence beckoning her forth, she set out into the bustling cityscape, eager to embrace the freedom that lay beyond her doorstep.
