Elvira couldn't help but notice Zach's graceful eating habits, a refreshing sight compared to the sloppy, uncouth guys she'd encountered. Did I strike gold or what she thought, secretly thrilled.

Zach, on his part, took note of Elvira's unpretentious, appealing manner. Sick of the artificiality of the high society dames, he found her genuineness a breath of fresh air.

Till now, Elvira hadn't hit any of his sore spots. Zach thought if this makeshift marriage could benefit Tracy, he was all for enduring it a while longer.

Breaking the silence. Zach spoke up. "Ms. Willis, thanks for saving my grandma and for agreeing to this shotgun wedding."

Elvira was blunt. "Wasn't just for Tracy. This shotgun wedding's got perks for me too, so I'm counting on your support down the line," she confessed hinting at the spontaneous decision driven by a mix of motives.

Zach, surprised by her frankness and lack of brown-nosing, assured her. "Sure. We're in this together now."

"If you get any deal-breakers or need my backing, just spell it out. I'll avoid stepping on your toes and

"All I ask for is privacy: I'll respect yours too. Other than that, we're good. Grandma wanted you to move in here, so your old place? Time to say goodbye, Zach explained.

"Deal" Elvira agreed warmly. "I've looked it up, the rent here is 24 thousand dollars a year. Let's go halves. I'll shoot over 12 thousand dollars after we swap WhatsApp into, And I plan to deck out the place too, so hit me up if you need anything specific. Oh, and I'm all for whipping up meals at home cool with you?"

Once they agreed on their cohabitation terms, Elvira asked for Zach's digits to add him on WhatsApp.

Then, Elvira firmly wired 12 thousand dollars his way, despite Zach's initial reluctance

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, puzzling both Elvira and Zach. After all, Zach had just moved in, and only Tracy knew his address.

Answering the door, Zach found two delivery personnel with clothes sent! Tracy, "Mr. Gilbers, these are from Mrs. Tracy, they said.

Elvira's phone rang at that moment it was Tracy, explaining she had sent some clothes over to save Elvira a trip home, advising her to rest after the day's ordeal.

Moved by Tracy's thoughtfulness and feeling somewhat unwell, Elvira thanked her, comtemplating a return gift for later.

Zach let the staff in. They brought a rack filled with an array of clothes from jackets and skirts to pajamas and lingerie, setting it up inside.

Sering the sexy lingerie and pajanus, Elvira felt shy and awkward, thinking. That's a lot she had expected only a simple set for emergencies, not knowing Tracy had almost emptied the most fashionable parts of the store for her.

"Oh, no, I'll stay in the guest room said Elvira, still seeing herself as just a visitor, "I can manage, thank you" She then told the departing staff. Elvira, now alone and finding it awkward to handle the intimate garments in front of Zach, quickly wheeled the rack into the master bedroom and

Need something?" Zach inquired, dropping his towel to look at her.

"Uh, just wanted to say good night. Plus, you're looking pretty fit, blurted out Elvira before quickly turning and dashing back into her room.

Zach stood frozen, bemused. Was that flirting?' he wondered, shaking his head in disbelief.

Returning to his room, Zach called Tracy, sternly warning her to stop showing off their wealth, threatening that he would divorce Elvira if Tracy went overboard again.

Tracy, on the other end, rolled her eyes, thinking. This boy is going to regret this one day."

After her nightly routine, Elvira chose a relatively conservative nightgown and lay in bed, but sleep eluded her. She painfully acknowledged to herself, I knew Calvin had changed. It was all obvious; I was just lying to myself.
