Valentine lived with her abuser—her own father. Hence, she started to become responsible and independent at such a young age. With too many goals set in mind, she ended up seeing love as something stupid and a complete waste of time. Who would have known what her own life has in store for her? Her father got sent to the hospital, suffering a condition which she concluded was the consequence he needed to face after abusing her for so many years. A handsome man—her high school bully—appeared in the scene; Valentine was forced to wed him, bound by a contract in exchange for his financial support to pay the hospital bills for her father's treatments. He loved her; she hated him. Will they be able to stay together until their marriage contract ends? How will they face their own problems now that they're married but with no mutual feelings attached?

Prologue

It was a very unfortunate day for Valentine, considering that her friends—co-workers in the little restaurant she worked in—have been forcing her to go find herself a man. Almost every day, her friends would keep bugging her. She never had a boyfriend, ever. Having one never even crossed her mind yet. Love was something she thought a complete waste of time; she considered it as drastically stupid thing that could ever happen to an individual. Every person in love would do anything, even the craziest things to show and prove their love. Which, she would describe as stupid.“In case you’re having trouble, I can help you with catching yourself a big handsome fish.” A low-pitched female voice came from Valentine’s side. It was her manager, Sofie, who was already in her 40s and married for 20 years. Together with her husband, they ran the restaurant together months after their marriage. Unfortunately, her husband had died months ago. However, sh

Visiting her father in the hospital never have crossed Valentine’s mind, or so what she preferred to believe it didn’t slip in her mind. As much as she really wanted him out of her life, she still couldn’t avoid the fact that he’s her father. Valentine went to the restaurant—very early and the first one to arrive. She was the only one who has possession of the keys. After a long seldom walk with a noisy mind, debating whether she’d go to the hospital or not, she arrived and fished for the keys in her pocket. Her ears perked up when she heard the satisfying click of the door knob. She pulled the doors open wide, enough for three or four costumers to come in simultaneously. Valentine walked immediately to the back part of the restaurant to fetch water and waited for the sprinkler to be full. Gazing up at the sky, whose sun was still about to rise, she sighed hopelessly. She snapped out of her bubble when splashes of water indicated that the sprinkler had overflowed, sc

“Can you repeat that again?” Valentine asked. Her eyes became narrow, looking and listening intently at him. She might have mistaken her voice for someone else’s. A grin pulled on his lips. “Yes, I was the one who called you earlier.” His eyes went back to Billy’s annoyed expression and cleared his throat. “Valentine, let’s talk outside for a moment. I do think your father is annoyed by our presence.” In return, Billy gave them a scoff. And in respect for her father, Valentine went outside the room with the unknown stranger. All she thought was they’ll speak only outside of the room but, he led her to the elevator. “Where are we going?” she inquired. “I just thought you’ll need a breather,” he simply answered. A simple answer Valentine thought it was hard to figure out. What was he going to do? What was he going to say? What did he mean by her needing a breather? Questions ran inside her mind as the elevator rose up. The beats of her heart just random

She watched him leave, enter the elevator and gave her a small smile. She shrugged in disgust. She’ll be actually marrying the same man who bullied her. Never in her life has she wished on meeting him again; he was her worst nightmare. And her worst nightmare had actually came back to haunt her once again. When Valentine entered her father’s room. He was sleeping peacefully on his bed. Sighing, she brought the chair closer to him and she sat. Hesitantly, she held her father’s hand. It felt warm and cozy. It has been a long time since she last held her father’s hands. The same hands who would beat her up. The same hands who she has always wanted to hold when she would feel frustrated. “I hope you’ll feel better soon and change, dad.”     Knocks on the door erupted from the other side, waking Valentine from her nap. As she woke up, she realized she has been holding on to her father’s big, warm, calloused hands. She released her hold an

  Time had passed with no updates or information Valentine gained about William, the man to whom she will be wed, bound by the contract she had signed yesterday afternoon. She woke up early to go back home, take a shower then eat her breakfast. Valentine was quiet for the entire morning. She almost thought of going to the restaurant to start her duties but Sofie had given her two days off. She never had off-duties. From Mondays to Sundays, all she does is work.   Valentine cleaned everything that needed cleaning inside the house. She did the laundry, cleaned her father’s room. Disposed of the cigarettes and ashes. She was never going to deny that their house looked like an abandoned dump. It reeked of cigarettes and alcoholic drinks. It seemed to have germs, bacteria and anything unpleasant sticking into the walls.

  Hours had passed and Valentine’s most favorite ringtone rang, indicating that someone was calling her. She dismissed it, thinking that she still needed more sleep. To her dismay, something tugged on her hair and pulled. She gasped in shock.   “What the hell are you doing here?! Shut. That. Thing. Off!” Billy exclaimed. He was awake, looking furiously at his daughter while Valentine gave him the teary eyes on him that she had always practiced on hiding. She didn’t want to let her father see her as a weakling.   “Get out of my sight,”

They both got out of the car. Like a gentleman, William opened the door and offered a hand for Valentine to hold which was very odd. She immediately thought this could be part of the act. She placed her hand on top of his and stepped out. They walked towards the new restaurant, the reason why they were losing customers. Valentine gritted her teeth. She was officially entering the restaurant that caused their problems. She didn’t know why they were losing customers. Valentine knew she was a good cook but what was keeping them from gaining more? Instead of making sure the date was going great as what William expected it to be, she thought of investigating the restaurant become her priority for tonight.  As they were now closer to the doors, the doorman pulled it open, greeting them with a smile. Valentine considered that it wasn’t the doorman’s intentions to take away the costumers. In fact, he only pushes and pulls the do

. “I’m a chef from the restaurant a few minutes away from here,” she answered. Valentine noticed William’s face, he appeared to be that he was really listening intently to what she said. “What about you? What do you do for a living?”  “I work at the Lux Style company.”  Valentine’s eyebrow pushed upward. He was talking something interesting. The Lux Style was founded on 1983 by the great Alexander Fajardo. She nodded slowly, now getting the point. It all made sense to her now. The r

Cheers and claps filled the room when the audience heard Valentine shriek her answer. With a forced smile, she watched William stand up, hold her hand and gently inserting the ring through her finger. It was beautiful. The ring was made of white gold, its mount had no tiny diamonds engraved in it. The only thing that captured her attention fully was the sapphire gem gazing up at her. She wondered how much the ring would have costed. Valentine hoped he didn’t spend thousands just for an engagement ring. On the brighter side, the ring must have been an old one he found in the attic. She knew he wouldn’t even spend thousands of dollars for her. He was her bully after all. They hated each other.Speaking of hatred, Valentine snapped herself out of her thoughts and whipped her head to look at William. His smile was big as there were a few people who approached him, congratulating. She wondered, did he still hate her like before? Will he be humiliating her again now tha

Horrified at what she heard, she sighed heavily and surrendered. He was right. He knew she hated him. If she knew what his plans were, she would definitely walk to the other side and flip things around. “Just… take me to my house,” she muttered and turned her back against him. She was now facing the window where street lights looked blurry due to how fast the car went. “Wake me up when we get there.” She tried to close her eyes shut and erase her thoughts to lead her to a peaceful sleep. It didn’t take her more than five minutes to dive down in her dreams and snore. Meanwhile, William pushed the rear-view mirror to face his fiancé. His eyes looked straight at her through the mirror. Her soft snores did make him think she had now fallen asleep. The next morning, Valentine stretched her arms out and yawned with her eyes still completely closed. The soft cushion under her made her think that she was finally at home. She wanted to take more minutes of
