"Say you love me, Calantha," Favian demanded, those oceanic blue eyes piercing deep into hers. "Uhmm... No, thanks. The deal was to get married for a year. Smile before those fucking cameras and pretend to be absolutely in love with, after which you pay me my fucking money. So Mr Drake, cash or transfer?" Her indifference and cold response caught him off guard. A week ago, he could have sworn she was hopelessly in love with him. Or was it all a show? **** Calantha Donovan’s life takes a devastating turn when she’s fired from her dream job, leaving her drowning in debt and with no way to save her brother’s life.

Her words hung in the air, and Calantha froze, her eyes darting between Favian and the woman.Favian’s jaw tightened. “Get out, Marielle.”After Favian's command, the tension in the room thickened. Calantha, still in shock, hesitated for a moment, trying to process the woman's outburst. The last thing she expected was to see a scene like this. Her mind raced, trying to make sense of everything she just heard.The woman, her fury barely contained, shot Calantha another glare before turning her attention back to Favian. "I can't believe you." She said, her voice shaking with anger. "After everything that's happened, you're just going to move on like this?"Favian remained composed, his expression unreadable. "I suggest you leave, Marielle.” He says calmly. He clearly didn’t want to entertain whatever drama the woman had brought with her, especially now.Calantha, sensing the escalating tension, knew she needed to make her exit before things escalated further. But just as she wanted to

“Liv?” Calantha choked out.“Come now, Calantha!” Liv yelled before the line went dead.Calantha dropped the phone, her mind racing.She felt as though the world had collapsed around her. After hearing the nurse’s shocking call, she rushed out of her apartment without a second thought, grabbing her trench coat and bag. Her heart pounded as she hailed a cab to the hospital, fearing the worst.When she arrived, the scent of antiseptics filled her nose, and her shaky hands clutched the counter at the reception desk. “My brother… Lawrence Donovan. Where is he? Is he… alive?”The nurse looked up from her desk. “He’s stable for now. He had a crisis earlier, but we revived him. He’s receiving oxygen in Ward 7B.”Relief washed over Calantha, and her knees buckled slightly. “Thank God… Can I see him?”“Yes, but first, I’d advise you to speak with Dr. Reynolds. He’s the one who attended to your brother during the crisis.” The nurse gestured toward a tall man in a white coat, scribbling notes on

Calantha stared at the tall man, utterly frozen. Did he just… propose? Her mind raced. Surely, this had to be some bizarre prank. No one in their right mind would casually ask a stranger to marry them, right?Her lips parted to speak, but no words came out. Instead, her thoughts spiraled back to the day’s events once more— If it weren’t for this man, she might have been severely injured by those men, or worse, killed.But still, marriage? To a stranger? She hesitated, unsure whether to scream at him, thank him, or run away.“Why would you ask a stranger to marry you?” Calantha finally managed to ask.The man folded his arms, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly. His silence lingered for a moment, but in his mind, he was weighing how much to reveal.He needed a wife—a temporary one. His inheritance depended on it. Or rather his promise depended on it. After years of avoiding his family’s meddling, his father’s stupid decision had thrown him into a crazy situation. Now, he had to provide

Calantha stood frozen, her mouth slightly ajar as she processed the boy’s words. “Look, I brought a beautiful auntie to play wife for you.” Echoed in her mind. Her wide eyes darted from the mischievous little boy to the tall, commanding man beside him.The man’s presence was magnetic—his broad shoulders were encased in a perfectly tailored navy-blue suit that exuded power and confidence. His dark, neatly combed hair gleamed under the evening light, and his chiseled jawline looked as though it had been sculpted by an artist. His sharp cheekbones framed a face that could have graced magazine covers, and his piercing gray eyes seemed to see right through her, making her heartbeat quicken against her will.For a moment, she forgot her ruined day, her debts, and even her rent problems. The world seemed to shrink to just her, the boy, and this impossibly handsome man whose deep voice pulled her out of her daze.“Forgive my nephew. He can be overly playful sometimes. He didn’t mean to steal;

“You don’t need to work here anymore. Pack your things and never return!” Calantha’s boss thundered, causing her to flinch.Her face showing signs of worry, she asked with a quiver in her voice. “But sir… what did I do wrong?”“You dare to ask, huh? Leave this instant or I’ll have security throw you out!” The middle-aged man raged, pointing towards the exit behind her.“Sir… Sir, please.” Her knees buckled, bringing her to the ground. She pressed her palms tightly together in a plea, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. “Sir, please, don’t fire me. I really need this job…”The boss, without giving a response to her, started pushing the buttons on the telephone on his desk.Realizing her boss wasn’t planning on changing his mind, she rose to her feet in despair and bowed. “I’ll leave. Thank you for letting me work here all this time.” She turned to depart from her boss’ office, wiping off a tear that had slid down her right cheek.While on the verge of heading towards the employee
