All Chapters of A Matter of Wife and Debt: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Daniella's PovThe hot sun seems to be piercing into my skin like needles, it could have been doing the same to my head and face if I hadn't cover it with my sun hat. I've been in the plantation since morning, seeding for the season that seems to be fast approaching because of the harsh sun."Jeez! This summer season is a hot one, I wonder when we'd enter winter…my skin can't bear the harshness of this summer any longer." Helena said with a pout which made me chuckle on her cuteness.Helena Soler is my childhood best friend, we do a lot of things together mostly sharing our happy and sad lives together. Just like me, she's from a pauper family. We work for people's planation in exchange for money, that's how we do to earn a living in this simple lives of ours."C'mon princess, it's little already so let's round up quickly so our skin won't get tanned!" I half yelled to her because she's across the fields."You know, I wish a prince charming can come and sweep me off my pauper's life."

Daniella's Pov"Do you accept this offer?""I rather die alongside my father than sell my body to you!" I spat out in anger.I got up and made my way out of his office, slamming the door shut behind me. He's such a bastard!🔹🔹🔹"Are you sure he really said that?" Helena asked after I had told her what Mr. Ruiz had said."Yes he did.""He didn't seem to be that kind of man according to what I heard." Helena said, lost in thoughts."People of his status appears to be noble men for their reputation sake, but when they are in doors they are wolves." I spat out in pure irritation."What will you do now? How are you going to raise twenty-five thousand in such a short period of time?" Helena asked, concerned.That's where my problem lies, how am I going to raise such a huge amount of money in just one week?! To be honest, Mr. Ruiz was my only hope, now I am lost on what to do now or who to run to now.🔹🔹🔹It's been a week now and no sign of Carlos or his men, maybe they have informatio

Javier's PovAfter I kissed Natalia's forehead I turned off her lamplight by her bed and made my way out of her room quietly. I made my way downstairs and towards the wine cellar to grab myself a bottle before heading to bed. To my surprise the kitchen lights were on. Cautiously, I walked further into the kitchen to see nanny Penelope. She was having a glass of water. She seemed surprised to see me as well.Why is she still up till this time?"You are still awake?" She asked."I was about heading to bed, just wanted to grab a bottle of wine to tag along." I said with a shrug."Will you be needing anything else Javier?" She asked."No, thank you." Nanny Penelope had been my nanny since childhood. Even after my parents passed away, she stepped in as a parent figure for me and she had single handedly raised me into the man I am right now. And now she's not just taking care of me but my daughter as well. At times I really don't know how I can appreciate her for her kindness and loyalty.

Daniella's PovTurning here and there in this soft bed underneath me it hits me - my bed isn't as soft as this. I slowly opened my eyes to see where I was. Searching the surroundings, it dawned on me that I wasn't in my room. I am in my husband's house and in my husband bedroom. Would I ever get use to this?I sighed.Sitting up, I let my eyes wander to the couch he slept in yesterday and it was empty. I wondered if he left early or he was in the bathroom? Curious I came down from the bed and quietly made my way to the bathroom door."Hello?" I knocked lightly on the door. "Mr. Ruiz are you in there?" I asked, but I didn't get any response.Maybe he's not in there and the shower doesn't seem to be running either. He must have left early. What kind of man leaves very early? Maybe he had some business meeting or more important stuffs to handle. Did he even have breakfast? I should've made him some breakfast as it's my first day as his wife.Does this show am a terrible wife?No I don'

Daniella's PovI woke up to the sun rays peeking through the curtains. I sat up and stretched my arms to the air while yawning, I glanced at the couch where he slept on the day of our wedding but he wasn't there. I guess he woke up early as usual, but I didn't hear him come into the room last night.Well it's a good thing that he isn't here, I don't need my mood getting spoilt this morning just by looking at him. The words he said to me yesterday hasn't faded from my head, I doubt it ever would. I mean, who comes up with accusing his wife of adultery barely two days of their marriage? Definitely someone as annoying as Javier.I get off the bed and make my way to the bathroom. Placing my hand on the door knob my mind quickly flashes back to what happened yesterday. What if he's in there again and he accuses me of peeping at him? No! I'll leave freshen up to much later, or I can freshen up in Natalia's room.Great idea!I went to the closet and grabbed my clothes for the day and some b
