Chapter 2

Eloise rushed home to find Michelle on the couch, all teary-eyed, she had obviously been crying. Without hesitation, Eloise asked, "What's up with Michelle? Where's my dad?"

Michelle, Eloise's stepmom who basically raised her, angrily responded when she heard Eloise's question, "Max, that backstabbing bastard, he's ruthless! You've been supporting him through thick and thin at Velona Corporation, and now that he's made it, he dumps you and even wants to throw your father in jail. Your dad's been detained."

...

Eloise was stunned for a moment, then said, "Michelle, calm down, I... I'll talk to Max."

In her heart, Eloise thought that even though they had broken up, Max wouldn't be so heartless given their past relationship. She dialed his number, and Max picked up quickly. Eloise tried to keep her cool. "Max, we're over now, but please don't hurt my father because of me."

Max let out a cold laugh. He said, "Someone has to take the fall for this huge deficit."

Eloise wanted to beg him some more. Suddenly, Max changed his tone. "There's another way, but it's up to you, Eloise. If you're willing to be with me for five years, I'll let your father go."

Eloise was taken aback. She didn't expect Max to stoop so low, wanting both the benefits of his girlfriend's connections and her body! Eloise was shaking with anger. "Max, you disgust me!"
