I was just barely retrieving myself from being useless. I was a happy-go-lucky kinda person back then. I had no other thoughts but myself because my family had always supported me. I never thought that I'd reach this point where I had to accept my boss's offer to be his fake wife. Why would I decline it? I'm indebted to him and in exchange of my freedom I needed this arranged marriage. So here I am now in my boss/husband's room to discuss the things that couldn't be done during this arrangement. "You are not allowed to enter any relationship within the period of this marriage," he said seriously. My eyes widened. "As in even flings? Nothing at all?" He looked at me solemnly. "I am a very possessive man, Iris. I don't like sharing."  
CHAPTER 1 "Miggy, oh hi, what are you doing here?"Of all the freaking places in the world. Why would I even see my ex-boyfriend here? Don't get me wrong. I don't have bitterness towards him. It was just too awkward case to feel like how to handle yourself when you see your ex-boyfriend in public? Ugh, freakish, Iris. Calm yourself.Miggy glanced at me before answering, his lips quirked as if stopping himself from smirking. "I've a secret job here."He is so weird. Trust me, really, he is."Oh wow, a secret job." My voice raised a little. But before I say something stupid, I immediately stopped myself. "Err, by the wa
I faced my head down right away. Heat flushed through my cheeks, without even looking I knew my whole face turned red. What kind of misfortune is this ?! With so many people I can talk to, why did I shared my nonsense secret to my boss?!Was he still my boss? He would probably fire me right away from his company! You fool, Iris!I peeked slightly, his eyes still on me so I looked down. I feel embarrassed of what I did. I don't know either. I just thought I had a handsome guy in the elevator that I could work with. Why didn't I think of that? Damn this hangover!I couldn't read his expression on his face. Was he having second thought? No! I would do anything for hi
Newton's third law was right when I was in highschool. "In every action there is an equivalent and balance reaction." Things weren't doing great the past few days. My parents immediately packed up their things, others were already sold just to support their needs in the province. This house also had been sold. So even though I don't want to leave it, I can't do anything about it.It would never be the same without them even if I stayed here longer, I would just be sad and overthink."Take care of yourself, my baby girl," daddy said with teary eyes. "When you have a problem, don't hesitate to call me, okay?"I hugged him and rested my head on his chest. "Can I call when I can't cook, Daddy?"He laughed, obviously holding back tears. "O
"Sis, welcome to this company! Finally, after a long stressful process you're here!" Rome hugged me tightly.He was the one touring to our department. It's a good thing we were in the same management or else, I would be having a hard time adjusting since I'm not really used to working either."I hope you'll enjoy here as much as I enjoy the handsome ones here!"he said while giggling."Like Mr. Esqueza?" My brow creased.He hit me gently. "No! No! No! He's out of our league. Rich and handsome people don't have time for ordinary people like us!"I bit my lip. He was right. Why did I even say that? It was so obvious that we didn't have the same level of living. Even if we had a business
I couldn't hardly breathe. I think my airways was closing because of this scenario! I tried to look at him but he wasn't smiling like usual, his aura was undeniably scary. Even if he doesn't say anything, I would pee myself."You," he gave me a deadly stare.My heart kept on beating fast I think I was going to passed out. My knees started shaking and my voice went missing. I gave him a questioning look."Don't talk," he said in a flat tone. I nodded still couldn't find my own voice. "When your mouth is full, Ms. Villafuente."I never thought that it was possible to feel like dying when you're still breathing and alive. I was living in shame and fear after it happened. It's nearly been a week, I was waiting for them to fire me. They ga
If I could only make myself invicible, I would! I couldn't relax in front of my computer because I kept thinking of the embarrassment I did before. Of all the things that guy could bring, why an adult magazine! I wiped my face intensely."Girl, are you okay? You had a problem with that before. Did you give up here? Did you get tired? Did you get scolded again? I can help you," Rose asked worriedly beside me."My stomach hurts," I lied. "Wait, I'll go to the toilet."Rose nodded but still watched me walk away from her. I walked to the water station and got one, I was paralyzed when drinking water, I smelled again the scent that was familiar to me. My body stood straight right away."Are you sure it's not overlapping, Adrian?"
It was like my happy bubbles popped all at once. I was shocked and angry at the same time. I don't know what his motive was. I know he knew they're my parents, I also know he had a plan why he did that. But really? A triple interest, for what?I couldn't sleep a wink that night. I don't know what confrontation I will make with him. I was now infront of his office, talking to his assistant."Can you please tell him that I'll wait here for a few more hours?" I begged, I was holding his black suit.His assistant eyed it, and raised her brow a little. "I told you to go back to work and I'll call you once his schedule frees up today.""This is really important," I insisted.
