Elsa is an ambitious girl, but who talks too much and finds herself in a critical situation due to her financial circumstances. Suddenly, an opportunity presents itself to her: a man offers to marry her in exchange for a sum of money, as much as she wants, if she accepts his conditions. What could this man be hiding?

Money fell on My head

Elie, curious, asked the question that echoed in his mind: "Why don't you believe in angels?"

Elsa, with a heavy sigh, replied: "My life is always a struggle, you know!? I've never had a rosy life like some people. I'm always in trouble. And if it makes me a whore to prefer money over my body, then yes, I am one, and that's how it is."

Elie stared at her in silence, absorbing her words attentively. After a moment of heavy silence, Elsa continued: "Alright, it's time to think about my role now. So, what do I need to know for my wedding?"

Elie explained the complicated situation he was in. "At first, I was supposed to marry Élodie FLORD. But because of my current situation, her family has refused our marriage and she can't attend the ceremony. So, you're going to take her place during the wedding that is happening today."

Elsa went pale. "What? But everyone would risk knowing that I'm not this Élodie flower whatever her name is!"

"It's not important!" Elie retorted calmly. "We've already sorted everything out regarding this matter. We're supposed to get married today, but her family refused the marriage at the last minute. We can't cancel it now, but we can only change the bride. That's what your role consists of."

Elsa thought for a moment before replying: "Not a bad idea! But she can be cruel, that girl. How can someone abandon someone they love in the middle of a wedding and when their partner needs them the most, just because their family doesn't agree? That's not right on her part!"

Anger then took hold of Elie: "DON'T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT! You know nothing about her; don't compare her to yourself. Just do what you have to do, but no more!"

Elsa raised her hands in a sign of peace: "Okay! I see you feel a lot for her. Too bad it's unrequited love; am I wrong?"

"No, we both love each other very much," Elie asserted with palpable conviction. "It's just that her family refused to let her marry a man like me."

Elsa continued: "Listen, I don't know what this love is that everyone talks about all the time, but for me, if you really love someone more than yourself, you'd be willing to do anything for that person. And that no matter the current situation, do you understand?"

Elie, with a slight exasperation in his voice, said, "...It's not as easy as you think!" Elsa, always smiling and eager to understand, replied cheerfully, "I don't understand, but I will try to understand! After all, even for the rich, everything isn't that simple. It can happen to make mistakes sometimes."

Amused by her optimism, Elie remarked, "Don't you think you talk too much?" Elsa didn't let that discourage her and responded with a cheeky smile, "That's just how I am. Sometimes I even let my friend listen to me for two hours without her being able to reply."

Intrigued, Elie shot back, "She must have a lot of free time." Elsa burst out laughing before clarifying, "No, she even tells me to spare her sometimes." Elie nodded with a smile, "I can understand her!"

Suddenly, the driver's voice interrupted their jovial conversation: "...Sir, we've arrived!" Elie straightened up and declared, "Alright, we're here. Let's go change!" Elsa, with a smile on her face and filled with positive energy, exclaimed, "I'm following you!"
