Consultant Turned Contracted Wife
Matapos madiskubre ang pagtataksil ng nobyo, si Selena Payne ay nagpakalunod sa alak, isang gabing puno ng pait, galit, at isang hindi inaasahang pagkakamali. Sa ilalim ng impluwensiya ng alak, hindi niya naisip na mauuwi ito sa isang isang-gabing pagnanasa kasama ang isang estranghero.
Nagising siyang walang saplot, puno ng marka ng gabing hindi niya matandaan, at may isang pangyayaring hinding-hindi na mababawi. Ang akala niya, madali na lang kalimutan ang lahat at magpatuloy sa buhay. Pero hindi ganoon kadali ang tadhana.
Dahil sa isang napakapait na biro ng pagkakataon, ang bagong kliyente niya ay walang iba kundi ang lalaking nakasama niya noong gabing iyon, Axelius Strathmore, ang tagapagmana ng pinakamayamang pamilya sa bansa.
Bilang isang dating consultant, tungkulin ni Selena na tulungan si Axel makahanap ng babaeng pakakasalan. Pero sa isang hindi inaasahang twist, siya mismo ang inalok nito ng kasal.
Isang taong kontrata. Isang kasal na walang emosyon, walang pag-ibig, isang pormalidad para sa parehong interes nila. Pagkatapos ng isang taon, pwede na silang maghiwalay, bumalik sa kani-kaniyang buhay na parang walang nangyari.
Pero isang lihim ang hindi alam ni Selena. Binago ni Axel ang kontrata. Dahil natuklasan nitong nagdadalang-tao siya.
Buo na ang desisyon ni Axel na sa kabila ng walang pag-ibig sa pagitan nila, gagawin niya ang kanyang responsibilidad at aakuin ito.
Ang kasinungalingan na sinabi ni Axel ay unti-unting nabago nang mas makilala nila ang isa't isa. May namumuo sa pagitan nila sa paglipas ng araw.

Chapter: Chapter Three Hundred Twenty One (End)Hinawakan ni Selena ang kamay ni Sofia. “Mom, ngayong narito ka na ulit kasama ko… hinding-hindi na tayo maghihiwalay pa,” sabi niya.Hinawakan ni Sofia ang kamay ng anak at marahang pinisil. “Anak… kahit ako ay nais kitang makasama muli, pero—”“Pero ano?” agad na tanong ni Selena.“Hindi pa ito ang oras mo,” ani Sofia.“Ayaw mo ba akong makasama, Mom?”“Hindi sa gano’n, anak,” mahinahong sagot ni Sofia. “Ang totoo, nais ko kayong makasama ng kapatid mong esi Silas. Pero Selena, hindi mo pa oras. May mga taong naghihintay sa ’yo. Marami ang nagmamahal sa ’yo.”Biglang napagtanto ni Selena ang mga sinabi ng ina. Tama ito. Marami na ang nagmamahal sa kanya at kay Silas—nariyan si Braxton, ang buong pamilya ng Godfrey at ng mga Strathmore, lalo na ang kambal niya at si Axel.Sandali siyang natahimik.“Anak,” sabi ni Sofia, sabay turo sa dibdib ni Selena, “wala man ako sa mundong iyon, narito lang ako. Hinding-hindi ako mawawala riyan. Lagi lang akong nariyan.”Napangiti si Selena habang

Chapter: Chapter Three Hundred Twenty“Mom, Dad, kung maaari sana ay kayo muna ang bahala sa kambal,” pakiusap ni Axel.Nagkatinginan sina Alaric at Abigail bago sabay na ibinalik ang tingin sa kanilang anak.“O sige,” maikling tugon ng mag-asawa.“Tutulong na rin kami sa pag-aalaga sa kanila,” singit ni Leonardo na kanina pa tahimik na nakikinig. “Mananatili muna kami rito para makatulong—at para samahan kayo sa paghihintay sa paggising ni Selena.”“Salamat,” maikling sagot ni Axel, puno ng pasasalamat ang tinig.Si Flora, na hawak ni Leonardo sa kamay, ay hindi na napigilang umiyak. Humihikbi niyang sinabi, “sana gumising na si Ate Lena…”Agad siyang kinarga ng kanyang amang si Sander, habang marahang hinimas ni Leonardo ang kanyang likod. Pareho silang napangiti nang bahagya—halo ng awa at pag-asang sana’y gumising na rin si Selena.Dahil desidido si Axel na hintayin ang paggising ni Selena, nanatili siya sa ospital—kasama ang buong pamilya nila ni Selena.Walang araw na hindi siya naroon. Kung may ilang oras mang nawa

Chapter: Chapter Three NineteenSa narinig, hindi na nagsalita si Axel. Tahimik siyang umikot at naglakad palabas ng ICU.Gaya ng sinabi ni Russell, naroon nga ang dalawang pamilya. Sa sandaling makita siyang lumabas, agad siyang pinaligiran ng mga ito.Nang makatanggap sila ng tawag mula kay Russell tungkol sa mga nangyaring pamamaril at pagdukot ni Klyde, Heather at Nessa sa barko. Nagmadali silang pumunta lahat sa ospital kung saan isinugod si Selena.Pare-pareho silang nangamba kung ano na ang kalagayan nila Selena at Ang kanyang ina na si Abigail ang unang nagsalita, bakas ang matinding pag-aalala sa kanyang mukha.“Axel, anong nangyari?!” nanginginig nitong tanong.Hindi pa man siya nakakasagot ay sumingit na si Braxton, halatang nangingibabaw ang galit sa kanyang tinig.“Anong nangyari kay Selena?!” mariing tanong nito. “Bakit hindi mo siya pinrotektahan?!”“Bakit parang sinisisi mo ang anak namin?! Hindi naman niya hiniling o ginusto ang nangyari kay Selena!” mariing depensa ni Abigail sa kanyang anak.“Kun

Chapter: Chapter Three Hundred EighteenSa pagbagsak nito, ilang segundo lamang ang lumipas bago tuluyang bawian ng buhay si Heather.Eksakto namang dumating si River, tumatakbo patungo kay Axel.“Mr. Strathmore!” tawag niya. “Ayos ka lang ba?”Agad niyang sinuri si Axel at nang makita ang mga sugat nito, tinulungan niya itong bendahan.“River… si Selena,” paos na sabi ni Axel.“Naroon na si Barry kay Mrs. Strathmore,” paliwanag ni River. “Malapit na tayo sa pier. Isusugod namin kayo agad sa ospital.”“P-pero—”“Huwag ka nang mag-alala, Mr. Strathmore. Kami na ang bahala,” mariing sabi ni River.Kagaya ng sinabi ni River, mabilis ang kilos ng mga tauhan ng clinic, lalo na ang mga doktor na naka-duty sa barko. Sa sandaling nahulog si Selena sa tubig, agad siyang iniahon at sinimulan ang emergency CPR. Sa monitor na nakakabit sa kanyang dibdib, mahinang linya ang lumitaw—malamang nawalan siya ng pulso.Pinagtulungan ng mga doktor at nurse na buhayin si Selena. Sa makailang ulit na pagkuryente gamit ang AED, muling nagkaroon n

Chapter: Chapter Three Hundred SeventeenNanlaki ang kanyang mga mata. Mas hinigpitan niya ang kapit, ngunit kahit anong gawin niya, patuloy pa ring kumakawala ang kanyang mga daliri.Bumigat ang kanyang dibdib. Sumikip ang paghinga niya. Unti-unting sinakop ng takot ang kanyang isipan.“Kaunti na lang… sandali na lang…” nanginginig niyang bulong, pilit pinapalakas ang sarili.Ngunit nang maramdaman niyang muling dumulas ang kanyang kamay, tuluyan nang bumigay ang kanyang tinig.“River… bilisan mo…” umiiyak niyang sigaw.Sunod-sunod na tumulo ang kanyang luha—luha ng takot, sakit, at desperasyon—habang mahigpit niyang hawak pa din ang basket, handang ibigay ang lahat para lang hindi sila bumitaw.Pero mukhang sa pagkakataong ito, kahit ilang beses siyang manalangin na sana makarating agad si River para iligtas sila bago siya mawalan ng lakas sa pagkapit ay unti-unti ng dumudulas ang kamay niya, kaunti na lang ay makakabitaw na siya.Mas umigting ang takot niya. Napayuko siya at tumingin sa baba. Napakataas ng babagsakan nila

Chapter: Chapter 103“Believe whatever you want,” Alia said coldly. “I don’t give a damn anymore.”She had stopped caring whether Jasper believed her or not. There was no point in explaining herself—she had grown tired of repeating her side, only to be dismissed.What’s the point, anyway? In his eyes, Rhea will always be right.If she kept insisting, she would only end up looking desperate.After saying her piece, Alia gave Kyle a slight nod, silently signaling him to leave. Kyle caught the hint immediately and stepped forward, not sparing Rhea or the man beside her another glance.Alia had only taken a few steps when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.It was Jasper.Before she could react, Kyle moved instinctively and pulled her back, his grip firm as he placed himself between them.He couldn’t stay silent this time.The look on Jasper’s face was enough to make Kyle think the man might hurt her—and that alone was reason enough to act. After all, Alia wasn’t just anyone to him. She was his mentor—someone

Chapter: Chapter 102Alia smirked as she watched Rhea’s reaction. From the way her expression cracked for a split second, she knew she had guessed right.As expected, she thought.Kyle pressed his lips together, trying to stifle his laughter, but the amusement was obvious in his eyes.Seeing the two of them barely holding back, irritation surged within Rhea.How dare they humiliate me like this? she thought angrily.But she quickly suppressed it. She couldn’t afford to drop the gentle, fragile image she had so carefully built.Her eyes shimmered as she forced out a shaky breath. Pulling out a handkerchief, she dabbed the corners of her eyes, as if holding back her tears.“Alia… didn’t we agree before that we should get along?” she said softly. “Do you still hate me?”Alia’s brow lifted, clearly unimpressed.“I’ll give you that, Rhea,” she said lazily. “Your acting’s impressive. You almost had me there.” She tilted her head slightly. “You should really consider a career in acting.”Taking it as sarcasm—but

Chapter: Chapter 101 “Mr. Alvarro, I know my request may sound unreasonable, but I truly hope you’ll consider—” “No,” he interrupted. Rhea froze. She hadn’t expected such a blunt rejection. For a moment, she considered softening her stance—perhaps playing pitiful—but one look at Kyle’s expression told her that wouldn’t work. Quickly, she shifted strategies. “Mr. Alvarro,” she said, maintaining her innocent smile, “may I ask why you immediately refused?” Kyle’s expression didn’t change. “I’ll be honest with you, Ms. Caldwell. The reason I rejected your request is because my mentor doesn’t accept any students aside from me.” Rhea refused to back down. “Then perhaps you could ask your mentor to reconsider?” she pressed gently. “I may not be as skilled as you, Mr. Alvarro, but I am talented in violin. Maybe your mentor could test me first before deciding whether to reject me.” Kyle felt a flicker of annoyance at her persistence. Before responding, he glanced at Alia

Chapter: Chapter 100Alia quickly walked out of the royal box and, without thinking, kept walking for several minutes before realizing she didn’t even know where the bathroom was. That only made her feel more embarrassed than before.She looked around until she spotted a staff member passing by. She quickly approached them and asked for directions. After being guided, she thanked the staff and headed toward the bathroom.Once inside, she went straight to the sink, turned on the tap, and splashed water on her face, trying to wash away her embarrassment.After splashing her face with water, she remembered how she had slipped earlier. If only she hadn’t cared so much about Marilyn and had stopped talking, she might not have slipped in the first place.So freaking stupid, she thought.She splashed her face again, as if trying to wash away not only her embarrassment, but her own stupidity as well.After a few minutes, she finally stepped out.She retraced her steps, walking back the same way she came. After a

Chapter: Chapter 99Marilyn stomped her heels angrily.“You’re unbelievable!” she snapped, turning to leave.Seeing this, Alia quickly called out, “Wait, Ms. Caruso—”“Let her leave,” Knight interrupted.He sat back in his seat, completely unbothered.Alia glanced at him, watching as he leisurely ate grapes as if nothing had happened.“Aren’t you going to run after Ms. Caruso?” she asked, unable to stop herself. She still felt guilty about what Knight had done earlier.“She’s fine,” Knight replied casually. “Didn’t you see how fast she stood up and left?”Alia was left speechless.She didn’t know how to respond. Knight looked utterly unconcerned, as though the incident meant nothing to him. Seeing his indifference, she decided not to press further.Instead, she shifted her attention forward, gazing down from the royal box where they were seated.After a few minutes, the lights dimmed. Darkness filled the venue, and only a single spotlight illuminated the stage. The large velvet curtains slowly opened, an

Chapter: Chapter 98“Miss, what are you doing?”“Ahh!”Alia jolted in fright at the sudden voice behind her. She quickly turned around, clutching her chest. Her heart pounded like she had just run a marathon; her breathing quickened, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her skin.It was a staff member pushing a food cart.The staff roamed around the royal boxes, offering and delivering food and drinks to VIPs. While making his rounds, he noticed a woman leaning close to a door, which made him curious enough to approach. What he didn’t expect was for her to be so startled by his presence.“I—I’m sorry! Sorry for frightening you, Miss. I didn’t mean to,” he quickly apologized.Alia let out a breath, calming herself before speaking. “It’s alright.”“May I ask what you’re doing here, Miss? You don’t look suspicious, judging by the way you’re dressed. Why not open the door and go inside?” the staff asked curiously.Alia felt embarrassed that someone had caught her. She didn’t want to answer, but she had no cho
