Her Price to Pay | Lenamiu/Miulena (gxg story)

Mavery Natsha has never been told "no." As the heir to the Natsha Group-a global empire of five-star hotels and luxury malls-she's known for two things: her last name, and the headlines she constantly creates. Cold, unapologetic, and a self-proclaimed heartbreaker, Mavery lives without rules... until her father issues a final ultimatum.

If she wants to inherit the company, she must prove she's capable of stability. One year. One real, serious relationship. No scandals. No exceptions.

Louise Schuett never expected her life to become someone else's bargaining chip. At 23, she's the exhausted breadwinner of a broken household: juggling three jobs, an absent mother, sick father, and three younger siblings who depend on her. Love? Luxury? Security? All of it has always been out of reach-until Mavery walks into her life with an offer she can't afford to refuse.

Be my girlfriend. Play your part. Keep quiet.

In public, Mavery treats Louise like something fragile and adored. In private, she's distant, cold, and dismissive. Louise is just a means to an end. A tool. A façade.

But as lines blur and roles twist, something unexpected starts to unravel between them. Feelings Louise didn't agree to. Walls Mavery didn't mean to lower.

What begins as a transaction becomes something neither of them can control.

Because falling in love was never part of the deal.
But it might be the only truth between them.
