When Carmen finally had the opportunity to submit her work at an art gallery alongside thousands of other women, she didn’t think twice and instead forged ahead to try her luck. Luck was definitely on her side because she was called into the office of the CEO of the gallery where he made her a mouthwatering proposal, become his wife for a year or two for a million dollars. Andres' need for a wife surpasses any other thing going on in his life at the moment and when he saw Carmen, he knew he had to make her his wife, even for a short time. She fit perfectly into what he needed her for. Upon agreement, the dream marriage Carmen was hoping for seemed to be more of nightmares and secrets when trials and backstabbing keeps showing up. She finds out the truth about Andres’ wealth and even worse, her new best friend wasn’t what he actually seemed to be. Will the love she was beginning to feel for him overshadow her sense of responsibility and keep on with Andres? Will Andres decide to trust her with his secrets in order for them to be able to fight the people who keep showing up to destroy not only their marriage but them as a whole? Will their love be enough?

Chapter 1

Carmen’s POVI sat heavily on the old couch, feeling overwhelmed by all my problems like a heavy storm. The dirty walls of the apartment I shared with my mom seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with their silent disapproval. It felt like the universe was purposely testing how strong I was by throwing one obstacle after another in my way.My landlord, who was always impatient and persistent, kept bothering me relentlessly. Every morning, his annoying voice would come through the phone, reminding me of the four months' rent I owed. The threat of being kicked out of my home was always hanging over me like a dark cloud, ready to burst at any moment. The place I used to call my humble home had turned into a battleground, and I was losing the fight against financial instability.But it wasn't just the landlord that worried me. My job, which used to provide stability, had become a cruel trick of a gun. The small paycheck it gave me barely covered my basic needs, leaving me drowning in u

Chapter 2

I borrowed money from my mom and wasn't sure if I could pay her back. As I got to the bus station, I quickly got on the bus so I wouldn't miss my important appointment. Mr. Thomas took a lot of my time by standing in the doorway. As the bus started its journey, I sat in the comfortable backseat and worried about what would happen if my work didn't get attention.I was going to Blackwood's Enterprises, a big art gallery that has an art festival every year. The festival was only two months away, and I wanted to show my talent there. They invited painters from all over to compete for a great opportunity. On their website, they said the artist with the best painting would not only have their artwork displayed at the festival but also get 5 million dollars and a job offer from the company.This opportunity was really important to me, and I knew many other people wanted it too. A lot of contestants would be there, all trying to make a big impression. But only three would win: the first,

Chapter 3

Carmen's POV There was a very pretty lady standing in front of us on a raised platform that I didn't notice at first. I couldn't stop looking at her face and attractive body. But let me clarify, I'm not a lesbian. I'm just admiring her beauty like one would appreciate something beautiful that the lord created."Good morning everyone," she finally greeted us with a serious tone, and we all responded to her greeting."My name is Miss Peterson," she introduced herself, and I'm sure you all know why you're here," she said, almost like she was asking, and we all nodded. Well, I did because some people said "yes.""That's good because if you don't know, please leave. This isn't a place for games," she added, and people started whispering as some began to comment on how rude she was behaving.Well, they weren't completely right or completely wrong. She was just doing her job, so it's necessary for her to be strict."But not too strict," my annoying subconscious said, and I immediately

CARMEN'S POV"What?! What did you say happened to you?" Chloe asked me as I sipped on the juice she had poured me. "I said that I was offered a proposal. This man wants to get married to me!" I said. I still can't believe the luck that I had today. But seriously, is this even luck? I don't know who this man is at all and I don't know what problems he has that he will have to ask someone to be his wife for a year. I mean, he's actually very good looking so I'm sure that it won't be hard for him to date and get married right? Why does he need someone to do this for him for a fee?"Wow I can't....I can't believe this. What's going on in your life Carmen? This is like a scene out of a movie! How can you meet someone who just offered to marry you? It doesn't make sense at all" Chloe said. I nodded my head, knowing that she's right. It doesn't make sense at all. "I don't know....I don't understand what happened either. Today, I left the house, hoping to display my art in a gallery an

Chapter 5

CARMEN'S POV"It is Andres" "Andres?!" I called out in shock. "Yes. It's me. I was wondering why you left without saying a word?" He asked me. I turned to Chloe and mouthed to her. "It's him!""Yeah...I had something that I needed to do, that is why I decided to leave. ..I am sorry" I said to him. He sighed. The way he did that made me feel as if he was scolding me even though he did not say a word. He made me feel unsettled when he did this. "I thought that you regretted agreeing to my offer and that is why you left," he said. I laughed guiltily. "Of course not! I didn't regret it! It's a very.... attractive offer and I'd be more than willing to get married to you. I just had something to do. Do you think that we can meet up and talk about the details more clearly?" I asked him I decided to make the first move and ask him since I didn't want to make the mistake that I made earlier. "Sure. Would you like to meet me tomorrow at the Rhys Restaurant? Let's say at 2 pm perhaps?" H

Chapter 6

ANDRESI frowned. Mainly because Derek is right. Saying that I did not notice how hot she is is just a big lie. She's very pretty and I noticed her. All parts of her.Even though she wore clothes that were aimed at covering her up completely. I actually would not mind getting to know more "personally" but that will only complicate things for me. And I hate complications more than anything. I just need her to play the role of my fake wife perfectly for a year. If she does a good job that satisfies me, I might just set her up for life. "I don't know what you are talking about Derek! Stop cooking up scenarios in your head" I said to Derek. "So you're telling me that you don't think that she's hot at all? You don't think that? Does this mean that it's okay for me to go after her since I find her extremely pretty?" Derek asked me. I know that he was saying this just to rile me up but I still fell for it. I glared at him. "Don't even think about it Derek or else you're just going to r

Chapter 7

CARMEN"It is really important to me and I have to appear there this year. I can't let this chance pass me by. That is where you come in. I need you to pose as my wife so that I can get it. I don't want to deal with the hassle of getting married. Truthfully, marriage isn't for me at all. Just do a good job and you'll walk away with a guaranteed one million dollars and if you do a good job, I might just give you other benefits" Andres told me. I wanted to ask him what he wants to be on the list for. I mean, he doesn't need some yearly list that's published as a sign of his wealth right? I mean, he's really rich and I am sure that he knows. He doesn't look like someone who's that vain...I have a lot of other questions that's on my mind but the look on his face told me that he won't be entertaining any more topics on the reason why he needs a wife. I decided to just drop it there. Since he's not doing anything illegal or going to use me for illegal purposes, then I don't think that I

Chapter 8

CARMEN"Wow!" I gasped. We haven't entered the boutique yet but I could already tell that I won't even be able to afford a handkerchief from this place. I turned to Andres. "What are we doing here?""What do you think we are here for? Of course, it's to shop for clothes for you! We need to change your entire outlook but we'll be doing that lately. I think that I'll get a personal stylist for you but for now, I think that we should get a few stuff and give the media something to talk about don't you think?" He asked and winked at me. He turned and gestured to a car packed a few feet away from us. It seems that the reporters and paparazzi who were at the restaurant with us had followed us here too. So is he doing this to give them a show? To announce that he's going to get married to me? "Don't look like that Carmen. We need to change the clothes that you are wearing for now" he told me. I looked down at the clothes that I wore and I could not help but feel extra poor today. "Hey

Chapter 9

CARMENI looked over at the woman who had snatched the earring from me. I didn't want to cause a scene but I didn't appreciate the way she was looking at me as if I am some kind of dirt beneath her feet. It annoyed me to no end. "Excuse me Miss, but I am the one who got that first. You are being rude right now!" I said to her. I don't go looking around for trouble but that doesn't mean that I'll let someone look down on me and bully me. She looked at me and scoffed. "And who do you think you are to stop me from getting it? So what if you have it first? I said that I want it and I am going to get it. There's nothing that you can do about it. Besides, look at the way you are dressed. You clearly won't be able to afford anything in this boutique! Stop making a fool of yourself and just get lost!" She said to me. I had never been so insulted in my life. I've had a lot of people look down on me, especially in art school because of my background, but this is the first time that someone

Chapter 10

CARMEN "Andres! What are you doing here? Do you know her?" Nadia said as she looked at me. I waited for Andres's reaction. Where does he know this woman from? She said that she's a senator's daughter so I guess that he knows her from their circle right? I was waiting for Andres to acknowledge her but he just glanced at her and looked away from her as if he could not be bothered with her at all. I had to admit, after the way she treated me, I felt happy to see Andres ignore her. "I said who wants to throw my girlfriend out?! Who'd dare to do that? It seems that your manager is tired of working and wants to retire at an early age?" Andres asked the salesperson. She was already shaking in fear immediately she saw Andres. Something told me that Andres wasn't just threatening her. He'd close down this place. "Mr. Blackwood, I am sorry.....I have no idea that she's your...." The salesperson immediately started to apologize but Nadia interrupted her. "What do you mean Andres? Ar
