Brenda stepped into her cozy apartment, still reeling from the events of the day. Mr. Heart's unexpected intervention had left her both grateful and unsettled. As she locked the door behind her, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence.

She hesitated for a moment before opening the door to reveal her sister, Belle, standing on the porch with a worn-out suitcase by her side. Brenda's heart sank as she took in Belle's disheveled appearance. Despite their complicated past, Brenda's instincts told her to let her sister in.

As children, Brenda had endured the brunt of their parents' cruelty, while Belle was given more attention and affection. Yet, as she grew older, Brenda chose to let go of the resentment and focus on building a better life for herself. Now, seeing her sister in such a state, Brenda's compassion took over.

"Come in, Belle," Brenda said, stepping aside to let her sister enter.

Belle's eyes widened as she took in the warm, inviting space. The medium-sized apartment was tastefully decorated with minimalist furniture, plush rugs, and vibrant artwork. Brenda smiled, pleased to see her sister so impressed.

"I know it's not much, but it's home," Brenda said, trying to downplay the apartment's charm.

Belle continued to marvel at the decor, and Brenda couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her sister. She knew that Belle had been struggling, and it was clear that she had been living on the streets for some time.

Determined to help her sister get back on her feet, Brenda suggested they go shopping for some new clothes. At the mall, they spent hours browsing through racks and trying on outfits. Brenda treated Belle to a makeover, and by the time they left the mall, Belle looked like a different person.

As they returned home, Brenda decided to cook a simple yet hearty dinner – grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and quinoa. The aroma of sizzling chicken and freshly baked bread filled the apartment, making their mouths water in anticipation.

As they sat down to eat, Brenda scrolled through her phone, only to be confronted with a shocking headline: "CEO Heart's New Romance: Exclusive Photos!" Her heart sank as she realized that the article was about her and Mr. Heart, with fabricated photos and quotes.

Meanwhile, Mr. Heart was dealing with his own surprise visitor – his mother. She arrived at his luxurious mansion, bearing news of the same article that had left Brenda reeling.

"Is it true, dear? Are you dating this young woman?" his mother asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Without thinking, Mr. Heart replied, "Yes, she's my lovely girlfriend." The words slipped out of his mouth before he could catch himself, and he was just as surprised as his mother.

His mother squealed with delight, already planning a meeting with her future daughter-in-law. Mr. Heart's heart sank, realizing the gravity of his impulsive response.

As the night drew to a close, both Brenda and Mr. Heart retired to their respective beds, their minds racing with the implications of the article and the unexpected turn of events. Little did they know that their lives were about to become even more complicated.
