KATE’S POV

I was staring at James while he casually walked into his unit. I was waiting for him to at least apologize for what he said, but it seemed like he didn’t care about me at all. He just went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer he had chilled in the fridge earlier. I exhaled in frustration. He sat down on his sofa and glanced at me.

“WHAT?! What’s with that look, Kate? Did I do anything to you?” he asked. “Remember, Kate, I’m your husband. Don’t think about backing out just because you signed our contract; you have no choice but to follow the two years in our contract, or you’ll lose everything!” he said with a smirk.

I raised an eyebrow at him, and tears started to fall as I began to respond to his arrogance. “Who do you think you are?! I didn’t agree to this because of your money; I’m doing this for my family! I don’t want everything I’ve worked for to go to waste just because of a one-night mistake!” I replied. I cou

    JAMES SANTIAGO As Kate closed the door, I stood up from my seat. I tidied myself up and quietly followed her to see where she was going. She hadn’t gotten into a taxi yet, so I got into my car and kept an eye on who she was leaving with and where she was heading. I didn’t see anyone leaving with her. Once Kate got into the taxi and it drove off, I followed it to see where it was going. It stopped at a disco club. As she entered, I immediately parked my car. I called Chandler, our childhood friend who also lived near this area. He came right away; I didn’t have to say much. He was reliable when it came to places like this. He wasn’t always with us during our outings because he was going back and forth to France, where he had established his business. I quickly went inside and took a VIP lounge where I could see where Kate was sitting. I also planned to wait for Chandler there so Kate wouldn’t see me.

    JAMES’ POV I turned away from Kate and started walking out of her room. Once again, she teased me. She flaunted herself in front of me, and I didn’t understand why I didn’t take the bait. Kate is incredibly sexy and beautiful. She has a well-proportioned figure—ample breasts, a flat stomach, and wide hips. Her face is angelic and naive-looking. If she were any other woman, I probably would’ve given in by now. “Isn’t this what you want? You’re just like every other man! You’re horrible!” she snapped at me. “Kate, enough!” I said calmly. “Get some rest; you’re really drunk!” I had no choice but to return to her room and hand her a loose shirt I found in her closet. Thankfully, she didn’t argue and put it on right away. She even laughed and teased me while taking off her bra and waving it in front of me. I turned away until she was fully dressed. I helped her lie down on her bed, and she collapsed onto it carele

    KATE’S POV I jolted awake when I saw James lying beside me on my bed, sleeping soundly while we were wrapped in each other’s arms. He stirred slightly as I pulled away, breaking the embrace. Memories of last night came rushing back—how we ended up sleeping next to each other, the foolish things I did, and the anger I felt before I left the house, especially after hearing from Nikka what my parents had done behind my back. If I hadn’t come home, I wouldn’t have known that I no longer had my condo because they meddled with it again. Nikka even told me how furious my parents were with me for keeping the condo a secret. I stared at James’s peaceful face as he slept. I remembered how he took care of me last night and how he didn’t take advantage of me while I was drunk. I was grateful to discover that, deep down, he had a kind heart. A small smile crept onto my face as I watched him, but then he suddenly wrapped his arms around me again, pulling me back down

    AFTER TWO WEEKS BACK IN THE PHILIPPINES Time flies so quickly. It feels like just yesterday we arrived in the Philippines, but now two weeks have already passed. I’ve grown fond of James’s parents, especially his mom. She visits us almost every day, always bringing home-cooked meals for me. They constantly joke about wanting us to hurry up and give them a grandchild, which makes me smile every time the topic comes up. Sometimes I wonder if James is adopted because his personality is so far from theirs. His parents treat me like their own daughter, doing things for me that my own parents never did. Every time I talk to my mom, the only thing she ever mentions is my remittances. When I think about the two-year contract James and I have, I can’t help but feel sad. When our arrangement ends, so will the warmth and kindness his parents show me. For the first time, I’ve felt what it’s like to have parents who genuinely care ab

    AFTER ONE MONTH BACK TO KUWAIT Mommy Samantha and Daddy Eddie hugged me tightly. My one-month vacation in the Philippines flew by so fast. Even though I didn’t get to see my real family, I felt like my days in the Philippines weren’t enough because I truly enjoyed bonding with James’ parents. It wasn’t because I wanted to be with James, but because I experienced what it felt like to be cared for by parents—something I never felt with Mama and Papa. I knew I would miss their care and affection when I returned to Kuwait. At first, I had doubts about going to the Philippines with James, fearing his parents wouldn’t like me or that they might be snobbish because of their wealth, while I was just an ordinary employee working for their son’s business in Kuwait. But I was completely wrong. Everything I had worried about was the exact opposite of what happened. To make things easier, James and I told his parents everything about me—exce

    KATE AND JAY’S CONVERSATION A few days after returning to Kuwait, Jay visited me at the showroom. I was surprised when he arrived holding a bouquet of roses. My Filipino staff couldn’t help but smile widely—after all, they knew Jay well since he frequently visited me at work. He also loved bringing small gifts from his base to win over my staff, especially when he was looking for me. Despite feeling a pang of regret knowing that this charade of mine would only last for two more years, I couldn’t help but smile. I knew that when this ended, I’d also have to distance myself from James’ parents, who had treated me with such care and value as both a child and a person. Still, I couldn’t ignore the fact that Jay had been consistent in his efforts to win me over—from my time in Dubai to now in Kuwait. “Hi, brat! Welcome back!” Jay greeted me. “Thank you, Jay. You didn’t have to do that!” I replied shyly.

    KATE’S POV HR DEPARTMENT KATE AND MR. ISMAIL’S CONVERSATION I received an email from Mr. Ismail asking me to come to the Head Office for a proposal. I didn’t ask what it was about just yet. When I arrived at the Head Office, Mr. Ismail was already waiting for me at the front desk. Ever since he found out about James and me, his attitude toward me had changed. He became more approachable, and every request I made was granted right away. After all, how could he refuse when the wife of the owner made a request? This was one of the privileges I enjoyed in the setup James and I had. Despite everything, there were benefits to my agreement with James. I agreed to pretend to be his wife for two years in exchange for 10 million and the freedom to be free from the legalities of our marriage. I accepted because I felt I had no other choice. James constantly threatened that he wouldn’t sign our annulment and would strip me of everythin

    THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY DINNER DATE WITH JAY KATE’S POV The first thing I did this morning was call James to talk about what Mr. Ismail mentioned to me. I was confused by his sudden decision, especially why he paid for two years’ worth of the Villa we were staying in if he was planning to move me to Europe. Was James just wasting money? But then I remembered, this was nothing to James Santiago. With all the income he makes from the showroom and his other businesses, it’s not surprising that he’d let go of the fully paid villa so easily. “Yes Kate, you miss me? That fast, really?” he teased me. “James, what is this I’m hearing from Mr. Ismail about me transferring branches again?” I asked him irritably. “Relax, Kate! I’m just doing you a favor. It’s not a joke to be offered a COO position. And it’s in Europe, Kate. It’s a great opportunity for you,” he answered arrogantly. “James, I didn’t ask for this

    KATE'S POVAFTER THE PRESS CONFERENCEI didn’t realize how intense press conferences could be. I was so nervous, even though I already knew what to answer. The pressure to respond to each question from the press was overwhelming. I didn’t want to say anything wrong or hurt the feelings of the people I love. Even after the cameras stopped rolling, some press members continued asking questions—this time about my love story with James. Honestly, our love story didn’t have the best beginning, so I didn’t know what to say. Thankfully, James stepped in and politely asked everyone to stop the questions. The press respected his request.Once the interview aired, we started receiving numerous calls and messages claiming they had seen Mama. However, many of these were baseless attempts to claim the 10 million peso reward. Atty. Ruiz advised us not to entertain any information unless it had substantial proof. To unwind, Mommy and I decided to go out. Besides, James and I needed to shop for some

    KATE'S POV Since James and I first met, this is only the second time I’ve been to his house. The first was when he introduced me to his parents. This time, however, I brought George along. Just like the first time, James’ mom, Mommy Samantha, was incredibly kind and welcoming—not just to me but to George as well. They even prepared a room specifically for him while we stayed in their mansion.“Don’t hesitate to move around the house as if it’s your own. Kate, you know who to ask for help if you need anything. Make sure to tell your brother that too, and feel free to approach Manang if anything is needed. Treat this house as your own,” Mommy said warmly, her smile filled with joy.“Thank you so much, Mommy! You should get some rest too,” I replied, hugging her before excusing myself to head to our room. Even though I’d been sleeping in the hospital for the past few days, I still felt an inexplicable weariness.I had been keeping in touch with Nikka, asking if they’d seen any signs of

    He didn’t immediately answer my question.“Mmm, I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what’s happening. How do you know my mother? And how do you know my exact birthday?” she asked, glancing at James before whispering, “Love, did you tell her anything about me?” She even turned her back to me and slightly moved away in her seat. I saw James shake his head, denying her assumption.“Wait, I think I scared you, dear. We just wanted to explain something to you… to both of you!” I said, turning to face everyone. “Samantha, haven’t I told you that we’ve been searching for our missing daughter, who was taken from us when we were in Saudi Arabia?” I began.“Yes, you’ve mentioned it before. But I still don’t understand, Adreana—it’s all a bit confusing,” Samantha replied.“Kate’s mother and the person who abducted my daughter are the same!” I declared, stunning everyone. The room fell silent for several moments. “Haven’t you ever noticed how differently your ‘mother’ treats you, Kate? That’s becau

    GEORGE POV It’s heartwarming to see how much James' family loves Kate. Honestly, I think they love her more than Mama does. I overhear James talking to the people who donated blood for , and it’s clear their family isn’t ordinary. I knew he was wealthy, but I didn’t realize just how rich they are. It might sound exaggerated, but the level of wealth they have, including that of the couple he had an accident with, is mind-blowing. I feel out of place when they discuss their investments and the enormous sums involved. Coming from a simple family, I can’t help but feel shy and out of my element. But James doesn’t let me feel excluded; he ensures I’m comfortable.“Are you okay, George? Do you want something? Just order if you feel like it. We’ll head back to your sister’s room soon. She’s probably been moved to her private room by now,”James said to me.“I’m good,James. This is already too much. I’ll just bring some of this to Kate later since it’s her favorite,” I replied. James smiled

    "George, who in your family has an AB+ blood type?!" I asked him urgently."James, as far as I know, my blood type is O, my mom’s and Charlotte’s are also O, and Dad is B," George replied.“Doctor, is it possible that Kate isn’t biologically related to her family?” I asked, puzzled. The doctor motioned for me to step aside and spoke to me in private, not wanting George to hear. Mommy and Daddy stayed behind, watching us anxiously. Mommy kept crying, and Daddy tried his best to comfort her.“James,” the doctor began, “it’s highly unlikely for someone to have no blood type match within their immediate family—unless, of course, they’re not a biological child. Could Kate have been adopted? We need to confirm this immediately because we’re running out of time to find a blood donor. We already checked the Red Cross blood bank, but there’s no available AB+ blood.”I didn’t respond right away because, honestly, I didn’t know anything about my wife’s family history. It wasn’t something we ever

    JAMES’ POVI was startled when I heard Kate’s mother’s voice, interrupting the tense situation. I was still cradling Kate in my arms, hoping her mother would show at least a shred of concern for my wife. But her intentions for coming to the scene were far from what I expected.“I didn’t mean to do it! My child’s in the hospital for an emergency, so I was rushing!” the man who hit Kate pleaded desperately. “Please forgive me, ma’am! I don’t have any money. I only borrowed this car to rush my child to the hospital for surgery. Please, I’m begging you!”“I don’t care about your excuses!” Kate’s mom shouted furiously at the driver. “You need to pay for what you’ve done to Kate! You can’t just get away with this like it’s nothing!”One of the men who came with Kate’s mom chimed in, gripping the driver by his collar. “Do you want us to rough him up, Mrs. Camila?”“Go ahead!” she snapped. “He doesn’t want to pay for hitting Kate anyway!”“Please, have mercy on me!” the driver begged, tears s

    Charlotte looks completely different—it’s the first time I’ve seen her in years since she betrayed me with Michael. Her hair is now long and blonde, and she even has a tongue piercing. It’s hard not to notice her navel piercing, especially with her crop top and short shorts. She’s covered in accessories, and her face looks striking. While her makeup isn’t thick, it’s evident she had a nose job; her nose looks unnaturally sharp compared to before.“Well, Kate, is that how you introduce your sister to the handsome man you’re with?” she said flirtatiously, attempting to touch James, but he stepped away.Reluctantly, I introduced them. “Charlotte, this is James, my husband. James, this is my sister, Charlotte, Amara’s mom,” I said, my face twisting in annoyance as Charlotte gave James a sticky, seductive look.“Oh, hi! So your name’s James?” Charlotte extended her hand and flirtatiously shook his. James whispered to me softly.“Love, I’ll be over with George. I’ll talk to him for a bit,”

    “Minda, did you see the guy with Kate?”“Yes, Camilla, I saw him! He’s so handsome and looks rich,” replied Aling Minda. “Kate is really different from your children.”“Aling Camilla, it looks like Kate hit the jackpot. Her clothes are expensive, and I even saw her watch—it’s a Rolex! That costs millions if it’s real!” Jacky chimed in.“shut your mouth Jacky. You even noticed her watch!” (Mom laughed as she bragged about James and then turned to Aling Minda.) “He is really rich! That man is Kate’s husband. He owns Santiago Corporation and the company where Kate works in Kuwait. See? Kate got lucky!”“Really, Aling Camilla? Wow, you know, I’ve been dreaming of getting into that company. Maybe you could talk to Kate and ask her husband to help me get in,” Jacky said, her eyes gleaming with hope.“Don’t worry, Jacky. I’ve got you!” Mom replied arrogantly.“I’ve been telling you, Camilla, that Kate would be the one to lift your family out of hardship. She’s really a hardworking daugther,
