The arrival of a marriage contract is a huge nightmare for Luis, one that will change his life. He will be bound to the woman he despises so much and never wished to marry. And to get the inheritance he longs for, he asked the woman to pretend that they are a happy couple. Along with their pretense, they are also processing the annulment of their marriage. But unfortunately, they will gradually fall in love with each other. Which will prevail, their annulment or their love for each other?

The knife she was holding earlier was now down because she was afraid she might actually stab me. I smirked as I walked around the living room, and I could feel the annoyance in her gaze."Agree to what I want first." I even winked at her, which further fueled her anger."Psh! Do I look stupid? Agreeing to what you want without thinking it through carefully? Hey! Take everything from me, just not my passport, so give it back now."She approached me and patted me all over my body. I even raised my two hands slightly so she could freely do what she wanted. She was so desperate. I couldn't help but laugh at her."Oh, calm down, you might feel a different passport there," I joked mischievously, and she pinched my arm without hesitation. "Ouch!"The area she pinched turned red, so I rubbed it to lessen the pain. I wat
"My name has barely been on the company for a day, and you're already asking for a loan. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since the company was registered under my name."I rushed to Rhaiven when I remembered that the contents of my bank account were running low. The money I had there wouldn't be enough to pay Mahana if she agreed to it, plus the expenses we'd incur in processing the annulment of our marriage.Of all of us, Rhaiven is the wealthy one, as if his bank account or wallet is constantly overflowing with money. He's just lucky when it comes to money. This isn't the first time I've borrowed from him. All of us, when we have financial problems, we immediately run to him. He's not stingy, after all."I'll pay you back, man. I just really need it right now."I sat with my legs crossed on the sofa beside his office while he was busy chugging down the liquor he had taken out earlier from the center table."It's not about whether you can pay me back or not," he leaned against
"You take care of your wife, Luis, we're going to sleep now."Mama was helping Papa, who was almost completely out of it because he was so drunk. After dinner, they decided to have some drinks, and my relatives, who were all equally drunk, were all for it, except for Lola who had already gone to her room to sleep. And just like Lola said, they did celebrate, but I hardly felt any joy.I helped Mama support Papa to their room. He's a heavy drinker, just like me, so don't even ask who I inherited my being a drunkard from."Oh, where are you going?"I noticed Mahana heading towards the main door of our house as I was going down the stairs."I'm going home."I followed her until we got out of the house. She just kept walking, and I was just tailing her."Why are you following me?"She stopped walking and faced me, her face showing suspicion because I was following her."We need to talk."Mahana laughed dryly and then looked at me with a smirk."You're crazy! Your face is a talk." She hiss
"Welcome to our family, Mahana..."From here at the main door of our house, I could clearly hear Mama's joyful response. I ran to the living room and saw the woman Mama was hugging. She was wearing a baby pink dress and her hair was down. I couldn't see her face because she was turned away from me. Papa then welcomed her, followed by Alyssa who was holding back a squeal."What welcome?" I interrupted their attention and that's when I saw the woman's full appearance. Psh! Just like before, still ugly."Hi there, son.."Mama approached me and hugged me very tightly, you could really feel the joy in her arms. Even without her saying anything, I knew and felt the joy in her heart that finally her biggest dream for me had come true, and that was to get married."Why are you welcoming that woman?" I asked with raised eyebrows, I looked back and forth between the three of them and finally threw my gaze at Mahana who seemed innocent in her appearance. I felt even more annoyed.Why is this wom
"Damn it! This is legal, bro.." Kenneth, Chris, and Rhaiven passed the marriage contract around so they could see and hold it. I didn't waste any time calling them for help. They initially thought I was just kidding until I showed proof, and they rushed over to my condo. "I told you guys, you didn't even want to believe me earlier." I replied and placed the bottles of alcohol on the center table here in the living room so we would have something to share. I didn't forget our appetizers, of course. "Well! How would we know if you're just messing with us? We know you too well." Chris retorted and took the bottle of alcohol I handed him after I removed the cap. I also handed bottles of alcohol to Kenneth and Rhaiven, who were still examining the marriage contract. It's nice that they finally brought Rhaiven along. After giving them their drinks, I sat down on the single sofa in front of them. I crossed my legs and the nervousness in my chest returned just because of that marriage co
"Luis, fix yourself because you're joining our meeting with Mr. Choi for our business. You should learn now so that in case we hand over the business to you, you'll know what to do."I covered my ears with a pillow because it was noon and Mama was already in the room, lecturing me. I really regretted coming home because of her nagging. It's better in the condo, I don't hear any sermons from Mama."Get up already." She pulled the blanket covering me. "Where did you go again last night that you woke up so late again?""Ma, just to the bar.." I answered listlessly."Good heavens, Luis, you're going out every night to drink. Instead of focusing on that, why don't you focus on your marriage?""Mama, I just graduated, and you already want me to get married." I scratched my temple."If you keep focusing on your friends, you won't have the inspiration to settle down in your life. At least if you have a girlfriend, you will have a plan in life and you will be more frugal for your future.""The
LUIS'S POV"Yeah! More drinks! Let's get wasted tonight..."Without any difficulty, I chugged the newly opened wine I took from my condo's cabinet. Yes, we're here in my condo, not because we're saving money, but because it's more comfortable for us to drink here, and avoids trouble.I also grabbed some plates because my ordered appetizers from a fast-food chain just arrived. I was with my friends, Kenneth and Chris. Rhaiven's presence is absent, as usual. He's still grieving over Haila's loss until now. Although, we can't blame him for why it takes him so long to move on.After our graduation, it seems like all we did was celebrate the achievement that we surpassed college life. It's almost been a month since we graduated. And yes, we're still celebrating until now. That's how happy we are that we're finally degree holders.College life is one of the worst parts of my life as a student. It's not that I'm stupid, it's just that the amount of work to be done melts brain cells. Passing
