Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Two days ago, Helen was drinking alone at the bar. Coincidentally, she bumped into Annabelle.

They were seated next to each other, and Helen could tell Annabelle was fairly drunk from the girl’s flushed face. Since Matthew was no longer a cripple, Annabelle had inadvertently missed her chance to marry into the Nelson family because she was too selfish to love a man who supposedly couldn’t provide. Annabelle was very resentful about that fact and she couldn’t stop cursing out Dolores.

Helen inched closer toward Annabelle to build some rapport between them. Helen learned from Annabelle that she was also from the Flores family and she hated Dolores, her half-sister, very much.

Helen was close to Matthew the entire time, so if she was going to launch an attack on Dolores, she would easily be found out. Therefore, she realized she needed to manipulate Annabelle if she wanted Matthew back.

Although Annabelle greatly resembled Beulah, she was nowhere near as well-read and cultured. After all, Annabelle was only seventeen and still had a long way to go before reaching maturity.

Helen had been well-versed in the ways of society since she was young and, to top things off, she was always learning from Matthew. She was very good with words as a result.

She’d told Annabelle she was working at WY Group, and it would be easy for her to help Annabelle eliminate Dolores.

Under the enticement of Helen, Annabelle reached an agreement with her. After Annabelle returned home, she immediately told Beulah what happened.

While the idea excited her, Beulah was also afraid of Dolores’ revenge. Eight years ago, by bearing a son, Beulah became the new young lady in the family. Having a child granted her the opportunity to entice Randolph into sending Dolores and her mother away.

Therefore, Beulah agreed to Annabelle’s proposal almost immediately. The two of them conspired and spoke with a guy about their plan. They planned to bring Dolores somewhere secluded and have the guy rape her while they took photos of the process. They wanted to destroy her and cause Matthew to rid himself of such a soiled woman. They just hadn’t planned on her escape.

After answering Helen’s call, Annabelle descended the stairs immediately, wanting to discuss their next step in targeting Dolores with Beulah. However, when she reached the living room, she sensed an ominous atmosphere hanging over everything.

Both Randolph and Beulah had grave expressions on their faces.

Annabelle walked toward them and sat beside Beulah, wrapping her arms around her mother. “Mum, what’s wrong?”

Beulah just remained silent.

Randolph was very moody as he barked. “I never asked you to do anything funny. I just wanted you to apologize to her so she wouldn’t be so petty about the past anymore. Now that the company is in trouble and we need her help!”
