DARREN’s P.O.V. For a countless time today, I just sighed. I remembered everything that Dad told me earlier. Every single condition that I need to fulfilled and rules to be followed just to take over our company.“Why can’t you just give it to me, Dad?” I asked furiously to him. My father, Darrel Herrera, is the CEO of Herrera Corp. How I wish that he would step over his position and let me run the company.“I already told you, Darren. I can’t entrust the company to you until you get married.”“But why?” I asked out of frustration.“Herrera Corp. is like a big family. Every single department has its own duties.

This book is a great story. It needs some editing for proper English language rules. It is definitely a unique story. The author definitely describes each character well making readers become invested in them. I am only confused about what happens to the original ring(s). That was never made clear.

CHAPTER 02: Welcome Party

DARREN’s P.O.V.        I dialed Elijah’s cellphone number before fixing my hair. Again, he didn’t answer my call. I sighed as I repeatedly type his fucking number.        I left my phone on the counter near the bathroom sink as I continue putting a wax on my hair. I wonder why he isn’t answering my calls. I looked closely to the mirror, seeing a man that resembles my mother. The only woman I love in my whole life. Blue eyes. Brown hair. If only she’s still here. Maybe she would be proud of me.“Bro? Your name was all over my inbox!”        I immediately picked up the phone when I heard my bestfriend’s voice, Elijah Ramirez.“Hey, asshole. Why aren’t you answering my calls, huh?”“You sound like a jealous girlfriend.”“Tsssk.”“Okay, okay. I’m sorry, bro. You know I&

CHAPTER 03: Arranged Marriage

DARREN’s P.O.V.“Shit! Elijah! Please answer the phone!”        Damn it! I throw my phone away as I heard the beeping sound, indicating that he doesn’t answer my call, as usual.        Since the evening of the welcoming party, I cannot contact my bestfriend. I don’t know why. Maybe he change his mobile number or something. Shit. I badly needed his help.        I was on my way down the stairs when I heard my father’s voice, calling my name as if he was looking for a missing thing.“Hey, Dad.”“Darren. Thank God you’re here. We have an emergency meeting, with Kate and her whole family. We’re gonna fix everything about your wedding.”“Do I really need to be there, dad?”“Of course, son! You’re the groom, by the way...”“But I need to find Elijah. He’

CHAPTER 04: The Plan

DARREN’s P.O.V.“Are you sure about that, Darren? I mean, no offense but... Finding a woman that will act as your wife? Seriously?”“Well, how bad could it be? Any woman would love to play along as my wife. And in fact, I will be paying whoever it is.”“Don’t be so full of yourself, bro. I have read tons of stories about this kind of situation and stuff and guess what?” “What happened?”“The protagonists fall for each other in the end.”        I chuckled before answering him.“That’s hilarious. I will never fall for anyone below my level. That kind of story will never happen to me, Elij.”“Yeah. Whatever you say, bro. But just so you know, I’m not sure if I can find that someone you are looking for in just a short span of time.”“Yes, you can. Just show them the money and I’m

CHAPTER 05: Anything?

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.        After stirring my coffee, I inhaled the rich aroma coming from the black hot liquid inside of the cup. I savour the bittersweet taste before I came back to my senses. I need to start walking from our house to the school building that I was working at now.“Alexa? Did Dad already took his meds?” I called out to my little sister.“He’s done!” she proudly stated, revealing a thumbs up out of her tiny fingers.“Please take care of him. I’m gonna go to work now. I’ll be back soon.” I kissed the top of her forehead before picking up my stuffs from the small chair behind our door.        I sighed as I started walking towards our school. Our life may not be as good as others but I can proudly say that I worked very hard to provide our daily needs. There’s no shame in that.       And one more thing, I

CHAPTER 06: The Offer

CLAIRE’s P.O.V        After my class, I went to the teacher’s lounge to meet Teacher Elijah. I thought I was late but when I saw him standing there, flashing a nervous smile, I instantly know that something was up.“Hey. Why are you smiling like that?” I suspiciously asked.“Nothing. Maybe we should go. My friend was already waiting for you.”        I nodded before motioning him to start walking. I can’t help but to think that Elijah was hiding something from me. What’s the deal with this guy?“Are you really sure about this, Claire?” he asked, for several times I guess.“Yeah. But if you’re hesitating like that, there’s a higher chance that I will cancel this meeting.”“I’m sorry for being uneasy. I’m just nervous. Anyways, let’s go.”       We got insid

CHAPTER 07: Heart Disease

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“Are you okay? You want me to get you a food or something?” Elijah asked me, for a hundred times I think.“I’m fine, Elij. You can leave us here. I know you’re tired. Get some sleep. I can handle this.”“Are you sure?” He looked at me, worried.“Yeah. And thank you for helping us.”        He nodded before walking towards Alexa.“Hey,” I heard him greeted my little sister.        Alexa just smiled at him. A few moments later, after he realized that my sister wasn’t planning to say a word or anything, he just tap her head before saying goodbye.“Bye, Alexa. Bye, Claire.” He waved at me and I waved back.       As soon as he was out of sight, Alexa came near me and hugged my legs. I instantly knew that she’s crying because my jeans was starting to

CHAPTER 08: The Deal

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“We can’t lose Dad, Claire. Please do something.”       Alexa looked worried, with tears still streaming down her cheeks. “Don’t cry. I’ll do anything as soon as I find out what happened.”        The doctor came towards us, a sympathetic look plastered on his face.“Ms. Braganza, your father needs to undergo a surgery. We need to operate him as soon as we can. His heart has two holes, and he’s in a very dangerous state right now.”        At that moment, I instantly knew that Mr. Herrera was right. I think it’s time for me to beg. It is time that I set my pride aside and be a good daughter even just for once.“We will perform the surgery as soon as we receive your permission. For now, I think you need to prepared a huge amount of money for the operation expenses.”

CHAPTER 09: Fake Contract

DARREN’s P.O.V.        I called my lawyer as soon as Claire agrees to my own terms and condition. I looked at her, feeling guilty every time that I remembered her crying face. I’m not sure if she did cry earlier. Though I could see the sadness on her eyes up to now.“Do you need anything, wife?” I asked, trying to put a facade of arrogance again.       I don’t know what’s with me, but everytime I saw her face, I feel nervous. That’s why I’m trying to act cool and dominant whenever that she’s around.“Wife? Is that an endearment?” she asked, arching one of her brows.“Maybe... What do you think about it?”“Can’t you understand sarcasm, Mr. Herrera?”        I stopped as I look at her face. She was seriously mad at me for calling her that way.“Well, after an hour or s

CHAPTER 10: Silly Moments

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.        He called me wife for a second time today. But instead of feeling pissed by his voice, I felt warm crept into my cheeks and I don’t know why.        He pulled me inside of a jewelry store before calling the saleslady on the counter.“Hey, miss. I wanted to buy the diamond ring with the highest value in here. One for me, and one for my lovely wife.” Again, I felt butterflies on my stomach.        The saleslady looked shocked at first but after a while, she smiled at him before pulling out a small vault from the locked wall of the store.“Here you go, sir. This diamond ring cost one hundred thousand US dollars each.”“I’ll get it.”“Darren!” I looked at him, shocked at how he unwisely spent his money.        He just smiled at me as a response. Amusement was al
