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.

    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 POV “PAKKK” a loud sound of slap will hear in the echoing silence in our house . I gave a couple of slaps for my long time boyfriend/fiance Michael as I suprised my family from my return to the country after more than 2 years of serving in Dubai as a Showroom Supervisor for the largest supplier of baking items and ingredients for bake shops across the Middle East. "FVCK Michael!” I pounded my fists on his chest in anger, throwing my suitcase at him “Why Charlotte? of all the women you could have gotten pregnant, why my sister?" I sobbed scolding Michael “You too are shameless" I screamed in anger, and I could feel the relentless tears streaming down my cheeks; in the intensity of my rage, I mercilessly hit Michael with the paper bag of gifts I had intended for him. "Bullsh*t ! 5 years Michael, you waisted 5 years of our relationship" I yelled at him with a blade eye look. Now I understand, that's the reason why everyone around me was silent and no one spoke when I suddenl

    BORACAY PHILIPPINES KATE: Thumping Beats Defeaning music greeted me as I made my way to a beachfront bar here in Boracay Philippines. My feet brought me here after learning about my sister Charlotte's pregnancy with my fiance Michael. I freely swayed my hips on the loud beat of the music, accompanying the sexy dance moves. Without shame, I dance at the pole on the middle on the stagel. I ignored the cheers and looks from the crowd, caught up in my own flirty dance that attracted the attention of the men around me. Dressed only in a thin lace covering my white two piece, my body was on full display as the wind swept along the beach while I moved. I had completely lost for everything. I was on vacation to have fun, and I wouldn't let the betrayal of those I trusted ruin it. And worst, knowing that it was my sister who's my fiance cheated with. "FVCK this life" I shouted on myself. I tossed my head back, joining the cheers of those many guys celebrating with me. Who cares wh

    “Ofcourse i will notice! Your group is the loudest in the crowd, so everyone really turns to look at your way.” I said to him as a way to brush it off. “Okay, Miss, you said it! (He replied to me with a smile) By the way, I’m James?! Can I know your name?!” he said to me. “As I said, I want to be alone, so please you and your friends leave me alone. I’m full of stress today. So if it’s okay, look for the other girl that will agree on your trip, you won’t get anything from me,” I told him. I took another shot of tequila and look at him. “Miss, we’re not betting on you; you saw, right? My friends already left! Okay, let’s do this: just let me stay here with you and drink, and whoever does something inappropriate first will pay for everything.(He said to me) “Waiter!” (he called the waiter, who immediately came to us.) “You’re the witness. If I do something bad to this beautiful woman, call the police right away, and charge all our orders for tonight to me. Here’s my card and ID.

    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

    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.

    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
