Bounded Proposition
Therese Amira Del Real, who just broke off her one-year relationship with her boyfriend, Sean, went home to the Philippines to finally stay there for good after years of staying in Spain. She applies for a job in the largest chain of luxury hotels in the country. She meets Rhandall Delmont, the CEO of ConCielo Chain of Hotels. Rhandall offers her to show up as his fiancé in a party and tells her what he thinks about her past relationship with Sean. Therese’s pride rose because she didn’t want to look like a weak, broken woman. So, Therese agreed. Therese found out that she’s been deceived by Rhandall and her own father. The party was their engagement party and it wasn't part of the plan. When she confronted her father, he had a heart attack. Therese was devastated and blamed herself, so she and Rhandall got married. They were already falling for each other, but because of misunderstandings and catastrophes, Therese had to take over their shipping lines. She didn’t have time anymore, so they grew apart. Rhandall tried to do something to fix their relationship and Therese almost gave in. But her father said that their marriage was fake. She was, again, deceived by the both of them. Except, Rhandall was the one who faked it. Therese then couldn’t take it so she went back to Spain. Rhandall followed her and told her how he truly feels, but she pushed him away. Rhandall, again, persisted. She eventually realized she had to let him in her heart again. Though he ignored her, she didn’t give up. Rhandall couldn’t resist his woman, so he subsequently accepted her. Their story had so many ups and downs, but in the end, the destiny approved to their bondage that started with a proposition.

Chapter: CHAPTER 9I just sat there, looking out the window.Weirdly, an insignificant amount of guilt tugged my heart as I think about what has just happened earlier.Well, yes, I got so shocked and it was like the utmost terrifying thing that could happen to a person, but it wasn’t, and I couldn’t think of other ways to react to it.I shouted at him as if he was the stupidest person in the world.Just realizing how disgraceful my initial reaction was, I wanted to be swallowed by this seat immediately.Argh! Why did I even decide to get into this stupid car!But then again, I cannot show remorse. I’d rather die than apologize about it.Duh!I mean, I know that what I did was wrong, but it wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t grab my arm! He should be the one to apologize.Ah, yes, yes, he should apologize, and not the other way around. The voice in my mind induced.

Chapter: CHAPTER 8“Come in.” I spoke.Andra’s head popped out of the door and glanced at Rhandall who was now acting as if he wasn’t going to leave anytime now, and then to me.“Uh, Ma’am, you left a cup of coffee on the coffee counter earlier.” she stated with a timid smile.“Oh, yeah. It’s for Mr. Delmont.” I smiled. “You can put it on the center table.” I added.For a moment, I thought she was tense, but then she opened the door wider and confidently walked towards the center table.She placed the cup of coffee on the center table. “Here’s your coffee, sir.” she said and flashed her timid smile again.Rhandall just nodded and didn’t even take a second look at her. Andra also nodded and walked out of the room.Poor girl. I don’t think she has a chance on this stone-cold brute. Well, considering his type, ─namely Coreen─ of course.

Chapter: CHAPTER 7When I reached home, I went directly to my room.I placed the contract on my study table. I plan on reading every word on that paper later.Well, I don’t really know if I should really trust that brute. But I’ll give it a chance since I’d also be benefiting from this idea.I went to the bathroom to take a shower. As the water run down my body, passing through every curve of it, I closed my eyes.How can the face of the man who broke my heart still manage to stay in it. I really hate the fact that every broken piece still beats for the person who caused it to shatter.You really can’t dictate your heart to stop loving, nor force it to love someone.I opened my eyes and shook my head furiously. I can’t go on like this every time he creeps into my mind.He’s happy with Coreen right now, Reese. I told myself.I should really stop thinking about him this way.

Chapter: CHAPTER 6CHAPTER 6I need to calm myself and not have a sudden outburst because of the thought that I might just be a replacement. It's just degrading and it hurts my pride so bad.I looked around the room that just shows no life, no emotion. It all just feels cold and empty. There are books on the bookshelf beside the table, paintings with dark themes hanging on the wall behind the sofa in front of me.I don't know, but his office just feels like him; cold and emotionless, though i shouldn't care more. I'm here for the truth.I looked at him leaning on his table while looking at me intently."Now, what?" I asked."You just have to show up as my fiancé at my cousin's birthday party. I'll introduce you to my whole family and that's it. That'll be the only thing that you need to do and then were done." He said seriously with his hands crossed on his chest."But," he paused. "Before the party, we need to have dates and appear often in

Chapter: CHAPTER 5“But I could use you like you said.” I added with my face devoid of emotions.He was about to say something when I raised my hand to stop him. “I need to think.” I said and looked towards the food in front of me absentmindedly.I saw his hand slide on the table and place a piece of paper, which I presume is his calling card. “Call me, but I hope it won’t take long.” he said and rose.I looked at him blankly.“The party is two weeks from now. We need to talk about how we’re gonna act or how our story started and anything about that. We need our answers to sync.” he said coldly and walked past where I seat.I didn’t move an inch because of thinking.He’s right. I need him. I shouldn’t show people that I’m that vulnerable.But why does he need me, anyway? I mean, why do I need to show up as his fiancé?

Chapter: CHAPTER 4A knock on my door woke me up from my sleep. I realized that I slept in the bath tub, so I rose and dried myself up. “Ma’am Therese, come eat downstairs.” I heard ate Sona’s voice behind the door. “I’ll be there in a minute!” I shouted. I went out of the bathroom and went into my walk in closet to change. I wore my nighties and went downstairs for dinner. I saw dad sitting at the end of our dining table, on his right sits mama with a smile on their faces. I went to them to give them a kiss on their cheeks. “Good evening Ma,” I looked towards dad, “dad,” I sat in front of Mama and started eating when she talked. “So, how did the interview go, anak?” She called me daughter in Filipino. I heaved a sigh and smiled lifelessly. “It was fine, Ma but I don’t think I got the job.” I said. “Why?” dad asked. “I think my princess is the most fit for the job. Did they tell you the reason why they didn’t accept you?
