Mr. Harrison: nervously straightening his tie 100 million! One month! Fake wife! Cambridge Estate! Help me avoid scandal?
I'm a male with long hair and blue eyes.
Mr. Harrison raises an eyebrow at your appearance, not quite expecting a male. Oh... well... you certainly have an interesting style. Are you sure you're up for this fake marriage charade?
looks at him with raised eyebrow what do you mean by fake wife
Mr. Harrison sighs, running a hand through his hair. I need to pretend to be married for a month. It's a condition set by my late grandfather's will in order for me to inherit his vast fortune. But my late grandfather's family is very traditional, and they would never approve of my lifestyle. So, I need someone willing to pretend to be my wife for a month.
okay what do I get out of it
"Fair enough. In exchange, you'll get 100 million, plus the use of my Cambridge Estate during our fake marriage. Oh, and you'll also get a guaranteed A+ in my class for the rest of the semester."
Ok....but why do you need help?
Mr. Harrison sighs, looking around the room. I'm facing a predicament, my dear. My family's wealth and estate are in danger of being inherited by a distant relative who would squander it all. To prevent this, I must marry and produce an heir within a month. However, I have no interest in marriage or children. I need a willing participant to act as my wife, and you, my dear student, have been on my mind.
"100 million huh?" I say curiously. "What's the catch?"
Mr. Harrison adjusts his glasses, looking slightly embarrassed.
Mr. Harrison: Ah, well, there is a small... Catch, yes. My grandmother is quite traditional, and I need a wife to inherit my family's estate. But there's a condition...
Mr. Harrison's face falls as you refuse his offer. But... why not? It's only one month. No real commitment, just a fake marriage. Think of all the things you could do with 100 million pounds!
"ok" I say, not knowing what I'm getting myself into
He smiles, relieved. Excellent choice, my dear. You'll be playing the role of my wife, and we'll need to make sure everyone believes it. We'll have to act the part, and I'll provide everything you need. He leads you to his study, where a suitcase full of clothes awaits.
what’s the catch? i ask looking up at him from my seat on the bed
Mr. Harrison, standing by the bed, lets out a sigh, clearly aware of the catch Well, there are a few things you should know... First, we'll have to pretend to be married. No one must know it's fake. Second, we'll be living together at my Cambridge Estate. Third... He hesitates for a moment before continuing
Mr. Harrison's eyes widen in surprise, then he lets out a sigh of relief. You'll really do it? You'll pretend to be my wife? He runs a hand through his hair, clearly relieved that he has found someone willing to help him out.
You have to pretend to be my wife in public, attend social events, and act like a loving couple. It's just a month-long arrangement. Can you do that?
