PROLOGUE
I was just barely retrieving myself from being useless. I was a happy-go-lucky kinda person back then. Wala akong ibang iniisip kundi sarili ko lang dahil lagi naman nakasuporta ang pamilya ko saakin. I never thought that I'd reach this point where I had to accept my boss's offer to be his fake wife.
Why would I decline it? I'm indebted to him and in exchange of my freedom I needed this arranged marriage. Kaya heto ako ngayon sa kwarto ng boss/husband ko. Para pag-usapan ang mga hindi pwedeng gawin during this arrangement.
"You are not allowed to enter any relationship within the period of this marriage," he said seriously.
My eyes widened. "As in kahit flings? Wala?"
Tiningnan niya ako ng masama. "I am a very possessive man, Iris. I don't like sharing."
Tumayo ng bahagya ang mga balahibo ko. I did find it sexy... Shit. Right at this moment I knew, I would fuck up if this end.
"Naiintindihan ko," pagsang-ayon ko sakanya.
"Don't be clingy in public or even in private. You have to ask for permission before doing so."
I almost rolled my eyes. Hindi ko akalain na ganito siya kalala. He was making me feel like he was way above me and all I need to do was to submit to him.
"You have to follow everything I say without complaining."
"I'm only your fake wife," I reminded him. "Bakit bawat kilos ko kailangan may approval mo?"
"Because I am your boss too, Ms. Villafuente," he said like a businessman trying to persuade his point.
Naririnig ko palang pero mukhang hindi ko kakayanin ito. I'm used to get what I wanted all the time. Hindi ako sanay na maging sunod-sunuran lang. Gusto ko na mag-walkout pero biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang pamilya ko. Yes, I need to do this for them. Ilan taon din naging maganda ang buhay ko. Sabi na nga ba, may kapalit ang lahat ng iyon.
"Okay, Mr. Esqueza," nanghihinang sagot ko.
He smirked. This man! Minsan ang sungit, minsan naman maloko. If he was not this charming, I'd never agree to this!
"But you still have every right to stop this arrangement."
"Kahit na may pinirmahan ako? Pwede ko ihinto kapag ayaw ko na?"
"Why can't you? This arrangement should be mutual. I don't like forcing things, Iris. You tell me to stop, I'll end it. It's simple as that."
