Inside Grace Julius hospital room. Grace and John was sitting on the hospital bed and Sandra was talking to her parents about Jess Baron while standing.
"Mom, Dad. He said he wants me to marry him on contract basis to enable him secure his inheritance from his dad".
It's okay". Grace said.
Sandra surprised with her mom and shouted, " Mom".
"Ye, you heard him say contract probably it won't last long and we will get our house back". Grace said.
" So this rumor that he always falls out with his father due to marriage is true". John Julius said.
Grace Julius glared at her husband and said." Please snap out of it. This is not time for rumours. All am saying is that Sandra should accept the offer and save the situation please".
"Am of the same opinion". Mr John Julius readily agreed.
Sandra was surprised and disappointed with her parents. " I can't believe you two are trying to sell me out to a total stranger just because of your selfish desire". Frustrated with her parents behavior, Sandra tried to leave but her mother call her, ' please dear, please'. it's obvious Josh can't afford to pay the loan. If Josh was in your shoes believe me he will accept this ,men are selfish. Please we need the house,remember we are your only parents but he is not the only man". Grace pleaded with her daughter.
Grace feeling helpless about the whole situation slowly sat down on the chair beside the bed.
"Josh is not the only man, if he loves you, he will wait for you". Grace said.
'Hmmm... Sandra Julius sighed

Josh Hills was angry and said, " Who does he think he is, so because he is sitting on some kind of empire now gives him the nerves to get the kind of woman he wants and to think your parents are condescending into what he said drives me crazy".
"Babe, calm down. My parents are only in desperate situation that is all". Sandra tried to pacify Josh.
" That is not true, this shows how much they like me and am sorry to say this but am totally disappointed in the choice you are making. You are not doing and that is final". Josh said.
Sandra Julius feeling guilty and not able to look at Josh. She was hesitating.
Josh Hills stared at Sandra with surprise and said, "Don't tell me you are considering doing this".
" Not really, I was thinking since it is just a contract marriage then..... Sandra was trying to explain to Josh when he cut her off." please, please forget about it'. You are not doing it. Do you know how I feel when you talk about this'.
Josh for once can you stop thinking about yourself and consider my aged parents. My parents will be homeless ". Sandra said.
" Oh please". Josh scoffed. " To be honest your father deserve to be homeless because he messed up big time".
Sandra Julius was shocked with Josh statement. She got angry with him.
"Excuse you. How dare you talk about my father like that, yes he made some mistakes but he still my father and should be respected in my presence". Sandra said.
" Respect my foot ". Josh said.
Sandra Julius smirked at Josh and asked, " Okay , will you pay the bills for them".
Josh glared at Sandra and said, " why don't you think of a better way to insult me".
"Same here, Josh". Sandra glared back.
" Josh, I want to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me. if you happen to find yourself in my shoes right now and some lady offers you some contract marriage to save your parents from their situation. What will you do ". Sandra asked Josh.
