Fading facades: love beyond the deal

Inosente. Birhen. Santo. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga katangiang mayroon si Coreen kaya naman madalas siyang pagkaisahan ng mga tao sa paligid niya. Nang pagbintangang kabit ng kaniyang amo ay walang-awang pinatalsik sa trabaho at laglag ang balikat at nakayukong lulugo-lugong naglakad sa kalsada. Dahil sa tadhana ay natanggap siya sa isang bagong trabahong hindi niya inakalang papasukan; ang maging maid ng isang arogante, barumbado, bastos at masungit na si Royce Sullivan dahil na rin sa pangakong malaking sahod. Isang misteryosong lalaki na ayaw ng human contact at literal na nagtayo ng isang malaking salamin sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Ngunit bakit nga naman hindi lalaki ang sahod kung sa unang araw pa lamang ay halos humiwalay na ang kaluluwa niya sa inis sa binata? Idagdag pa na sinamantala ni Royce ang kaniyang kahinaan at inalok siya ng isang deal para mabayaran ang operasyon ng kaniyang kapatid. Pero paano kung madarang siya? Paano kung magustuhan niya ang ginagawa? Paano kung... maging pangahas siyang hawakan ang binata at tawirin ang espasyo na naghihiwalay sa kanila? Ang kaniyang ka-inosentehan kapalit ng malaking halagang hindi niya matatanggihan. Puri, dangal at yamang itinataglay ay iaalay ba sa lalaking ni hindi siya man lamang magawang hawakan nang hindi nakasuot ng gwantes?

"Oral? Rough nights? That's what I've become-the plaything of a man whose name echoes across Asia. We've done things in places where we could have been caught, places where his men could see us, and yet we didn't care. The only thing that mattered was quenching the fire raging inside our bodies. Free? No. Nothing is free anymore. Every desire, every twisted fantasy he wants to play out on me comes with a price-and he pays it without hesitation. Even when it's degrading, even when it crosses boundaries I once thought I had, I take it. No questions asked. But here's what keeps me awake at night: is this all I'll ever be? Are we bound to this cycle, trapped in this dangerous game forever?"

I never in my wildest imagination thought that my life would one day take such a huge turn: signing a marriage contract with Jonathan Wells, the coldest billionaire in Wells Enterprise, so my sister could stay alive. It was supposed to be cut and dry: I’d be his wife on paper, and in return, he would take care of my sister’s medical bill and promise our future. No attachments. No strings. Business only. But life rarely adheres to a simple script, does it? Pulled into his ruthless world, secrets of my past start to resurface, putting everything in jeopardy. I, Chloe Jackson, was the illegitimate daughter of his biggest competitor-a man I had been running from my whole life. Now my estranged father wants me back under his control, just when I’m starting to see that maybe Jonathan isn’t as heartless as he seems. Torn between the board’s merciless scrutiny, Jonathan’s mistrust, and a corporate war driven by my father, I’m adrift in a maelstrom of power, betrayal, and something even more dangerous—love. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him. I wasn’t supposed to care. But in the end, it might not be the contract that keeps our worlds apart-but rather the very thing that could mend my heart. Because Jonathan Wells isn’t just a billionaire. He’s the only man who can break me-or save me.
