"Look, I don't want to get married yet. I still have a lot to do in my life, and becoming your wife isn’t my priority. You don’t really know me that well, you don’t know much about my life, and the same goes for me with you. We’re the same," I felt like I was explaining things to a five-year-old."Why?" He kept looking at me. "I’m not a freeloader. I can give you a life, I can even support you, so why not?"I stared at him, still in disbelief at what he was saying. "I’m not getting married for convenience, you think this is just some stomach ache? I want to know the man I’m going to marry.""Then do as you please." Does this guy always have an answer for everything? Every time I say something, does he have a rebuttal? Is that how businessmen are, never giving up?"I want to get married to the man I love," I said, and he fell silent. Ha! Got him. See, I can shut him up after all."Then you can love me," he r

“Addi, your phone’s been ringing for a while now! Please answer it! Both Ate Jane and I woke up because of it!”I woke up to Macoy’s shouting outside my door. That’s when I finally noticed the sound of my phone ringing. I turned to look at the side table where my clock sat—eight in the morning. Since I don’t have a job anymore, I didn’t need to wake up early.I’m not job hunting again until tomorrow. I figured I’d give my brain a break for now. A lot has been happening lately—it’s honestly exhausting. My mental health is really taking a hit because of everything.Mama and Papa’s visit.My heart sank when I realized it wasn’t a call, but a yearly reminder. Today marks Papa’s 12th death anniversary, and now, it’s Mama’s 2nd. Even now, it’s hard to believe we’ve lost both our parents. We’re orphans.“Okay, Addi

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked sharply as I walked into Kei’s private room. “Why did you come here of all places?”He stood up and pulled out a chair for me. I sat down immediately and grabbed the coffee in front of him—didn’t even finish mine earlier. The second I found out he was here, telling people I was his wife, I rushed over. Flash would probably be proud of how fast I got here.“This is the address you gave me. That’s why I came here. Have you forgotten, wife?” I closed my eyes in frustration. Thank God we were inside a private room. My hand moved on its own and smacked him.“What the f*ck—ow!”“You’re so annoying! What do you mean ‘wife’?!” I shouted, smacking him again. “I swear, if you don’t shut up, I’m gonna punch you!”“Wait, wait—” he backed off a little, just enough to avoid another hit

 “You don’t have to do this. I only need money for the operation,” I pleaded, feeling like a melting candle from the shame. But what could I do?“Listen,” he said, placing both hands on my shoulders and locking eyes with me. “This is the least I can do. Let me do my part as your husband.” His voice was loud enough to catch the attention of the doctors and nurses around us, which made me feel even more embarrassed.I could only nod. After I called him yesterday, it took him barely twenty minutes to arrive—he even got here before I did. I found him already talking to the doctor. The first thing he asked me was if I wanted the fastest way to get Macoy treated. Of course, I said yes.Today, he came again—to transfer Macoy to a better facility in La Ciudad. I knew that place well. It was the same hospital we brought Mama to before, but we had to move her due to how expensive everything became.

"First rule: you have to wear this ring." I nodded and slipped the ring onto my finger. He smiled."Good. Second rule: you can't tell anyone about this deal. Understood?" I nodded again."Third rule: for the next six months, you can’t be associated with any other man. Do you have a boyfriend?""No. That’s fine with me. Proceed," I replied, and he nodded."Fourth rule: you can't fall in love with me." I almost laughed at what he said, but I held it back, worried I might offend him."Okay, got it."We were currently in a private room of what he claimed to be his favorite restaurant. I expected it to be some luxurious place since, well, he looked like someone extremely wealthy. But I was a little surprised when we came here. It seemed like he was a regular—everyone, even the waiters, knew him the moment we walked in."Okay, I’m done. You can start with yours," he said. I took out my mini notepad. I had written dow

“This will be your personal room. Since you’ll only need to be in my room at night, this space is entirely yours. It has its own bed, a small living area, a walk-in closet, your own bathroom, and even an intercom. If you’re not comfortable going downstairs, you can use it to ask someone for anything you need.”I’m now at Ravi’s house, bringing along my clothes and a few personal things. He called me as early as five in the morning and told me he was already parked outside the hospital. He asked if I was still going in, and when I said no, I hurried to get ready.Jane went home last night, and Kei arrived just in time—so Jane probably spent the night at Kei’s place. I haven’t had the chance to talk to Kei yet because I know she’s tired. I thought about calling her, but what exactly would I say? That I agreed to spend six months sharing a bed with someone I barely know? Worse, I don’t even know hi

"No..."I was awakened by soft whimpers coming from somewhere nearby. Slowly, I opened my eyes and was greeted by the darkness of the room, lit only by a small lampshade. I wasn’t used to sleeping in such darkness.I got up, slipped on my slippers, and stepped out of the room, curious about where the whimpering was coming from—it sounded like someone was in distress. I was about to go downstairs when I noticed Ravi’s door wasn’t fully closed. I walked toward it slowly, intending to shut it, when I heard something from inside.“No, please, no.” I froze. Was that sound coming from him?Instead of closing the door, I pushed it open gently. The room was dim, illuminated only by the moonlight seeping in through his open sliding window.“Ravi?” I whispered as I approached his bed. He didn’t respond. Only half of his face was visible, so I couldn’t tell whether he was awake or as

 “What the hell is going on here?”All of us turned at the same time toward the source of that angry voice—and just as I suspected, Ravi was finally home. His brows were furrowed as he looked at the scene in front of him.But I wasn’t in the mood. I wasn’t happy at all with what I’d just heard. He kept forcing things on me, pushing and pushing, yet I could barely even understand what he was saying anymore. Everything started spinning all of a sudden.“She’s bleeding!” Ive, one of our household staff, shouted.“Shit, Addi!” Ravi rushed to my side, along with a few others. He pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it gently against my temple. That’s when I finally felt the sting—there was a bit of blood staining my white shirt.“I’m okay,” I said, and honestly, I wanted to give myself a pat on the back for not stuttering. But the truth? I was d

“Keith Sky! How many times do I have to tell you that Family Day means no work? Do you not value this family?!” Mom’s voice echoed through the entire dining room. I slowly put down the phone I had been holding—I’d been reviewing an email my secretary had just sent.“But Mom, this is important. I need to handle this matter so that everything’s settled by tomorrow,” I tried to reason with her.“That can wait for a day, Kei. Now stop browsing and eat with us—focus, please,” she said firmly, then continued slicing her steak.Today’s Sunday, and Mom has always believed that family should come first. Both she and Dad agreed on the rule that Sundays are strictly for family—no work, no excuses. I get their point. They're both CEOs of their own companies, far busier than I am, yet here they are, sitting and having breakfast with us.“I’m sorry,” I said sincerely as I tu

“WHAT?! Jane’s pr—” I immediately stood up and covered her mouth, pulling her back down to her seat.“I told you not to make a scene, and now you’re shouting?” I whispered, glancing around the restaurant. Some people were still staring at us, while others had already gone back to what they were doing.“Sorry, sorry! I’m just shocked, okay?” she said, sipping her iced tea. “I mean, maybe something just happened. She’s a diligent sister, and more mature than you.”I shot her a look. She grinned. “Sometimes,” she added quickly.I rolled my eyes and took a sip of the coffee I had ordered. I wasn’t hungry, not just today, but for the past few days. Only she ordered food.“So, what’s your plan? Are you going to talk to Janey?”“That’s what Ravi told me, too. I do plan to talk to her. I just... I don’t
