Her mum, Theresa, died when Isabella was just three years old, hence she was raised by her father, David Rogers, and her wicked stepmother, Helene, whom he married not long after Theresa died. Her stepmother and stepsister were hellbent on making life miserable for her. They abused and maltreated her at any given opportunity. Her father also accused her of killing her mum, although her mum died of cancer, after struggling to survive the ravaging illness for a couple of years. INCITING INCIDENT Isabella was supposed to graduate as a medical doctor from the prestigious Cambridge University. It was all her mother had wished for, and she promised her mum on her deathbed to make it happen. The death of her mum to cancer, after struggling for years, left her heartbroken. She was even more determined to become a Medical Doctor, so she could treat patients with the disease in the future. However, she dropped out in her penultimate year because her family couldn't afford to train Ava and Isabella simultaneously in college. One had to drop out while the other continued. Isabella was asked to leave her schooling and get married to Sebastian, while Ava was trained in college in her stead. Isabella reluctantly agreed, thinking that it was all hers to gain, if she got married, especially because she was getting married to someone she loved. Isabella's wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Instead, it turned out to be the worst. Her fiancé, Sabastian, cheated on her with her stepsister, Ava, on her wedding day. RISING ACTION Devastated by the turnout of events, Isabella gets drunk and ends up in bed with a stranger. The news of her scandal spread like wildfire and her family, her stepmother particularly, blamed her for her failed marriage and her lack of worth. Ava gets married to Sebastian, the man Isabella had always loved and wanted to spend the rest of her life with. They, however, get divorced after a few years of their marriage. She cheated on him with her college ex-boyfriend, Kenneth, each time he was away. Unbeknownst to her, he secretly spied on her. It continued for a while, and he couldn't put up with it, so he painstakingly thrust the divorce papers at her, which she reluctantly signed. CLIMAX The stranger Isabella slept with turned out to be Robert Miller, the arrogant, cold-hearted billionaire and owner of the Robert Consortium, one of the most popular multimillionaire groups of companies in the city. Due to his reputation being tarnished by the scandal, and he needs a bride to secure a business deal, he offers to clear off the family debts in exchange for Isabella. Isabella's family was more than willing to trade their daughter for their benefit. Her stepmother particularly liked the idea, because she thought Isabella wouldn't be better off after being sold out to a cold billionaire. That meant more torment to Isabella, she thought, so she stood to lose nothing. Isabella was hesitant at first, she had to be forced by her stepmother and father into the supposed loveless marriage. She had to accept it, against her wishes. The marriage was hastily prepared, and she quickly moved into her new home. FALLING ACTION At first, Robert Miller was never what Isabella wanted. He was cold-hearted, possessive, and domineering. As time went by, they got to spend more time together and Isabella got to know his softer side. He loved her to a fault and spoiled her with his money, to the chagrin of her stepmother and stepsister. Robert Miller supported her dreams and sent her back to college. She emerges with a first-class degree in Medicine and becomes a Medical Doctor. Her father fell sick with a severe kidney disease after some years. He was hospitalized at the hospital where she worked. She performs kidney transplant surgery on her dad and feet the bills herself. Helene and her daughter Ava were shocked to find out that she was a doctor. They began to plot fresh plans to end their marriage, but Robert Miller was not going to let them do that so easily. He loved his wife so much and was always willing to fight for her and protect her. Together, they conquer their battles. They find themselves getting stronger and falling deeper in love with each other than ever before. DENOUCEMENT /RESOLUTION Isabella finds that she has married her true love. Robert Miller finds his wife indispensable and is willing to stand by her. They build a happy home together, loving and supporting each other always. Ava gets jealous of them, but all her plans go down the drain. Robert Miller's business blossomed, especially because of the numerous deals he secured with his wife's influence. He then established a large private hospital for Isabella, as a token of appreciation. Isabella was overjoyed, and it propelled her to work resiliently. Fate brought them together and, despite the circumstances surrounding their marriage, they turned it into a true love story woven into the tapestry of romance and mutual understanding. Isabella gets pregnant after some time. They eventually gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, who they named Gabriel and Sarah, and lived happily ever after. The end.
