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 88“Rhea, you think far too highly of yourself—thinking Alia would still feel jealous of you leeching off her husband,” Ursula said mockingly.Rhea’s face flushed red with irritation. She couldn’t stop herself from feeling annoyed at Ursula for butting in.“Ursula, I know I wronged you last night, so I understand why you’re talking to me like this. But we were friends before, so—”Ursula cut her off. “That was before. Now, we’re not. Never again. I won’t be deceived by a venomous snake like you.” Her eyes were cold as she continued, “I always thought what you said made sense. Turns out, you were manipulating me all along—pushing me to pick a fight with Alia when there was never any reason for us to hate each other. This was your plan from the very start!”Hearing this, Rhea lowered her head, hiding the truth buried in her eyes. What Ursula said was true—she had manipulated her to stir trouble with Alia.“And I won’t be deceived by her anymore either,” Caspian spoke up this time. “I alway

Chapter: Chapter 87The disgust on Alia’s face was unmistakable as she looked at Rhea.“Get away from me!” she snapped.“Alia, why are you—ahhhh!”Rhea crashed to the floor with a loud thud after Alia’s harsh kick. The blow landed hard on her abdomen, sending her sprawling, her head and back slamming against the cold floor. She groaned in agony, clutching her stomach as tears streamed down her face. Earlier, her crying had been fake—but now, the pain was real.The moment it happened, Jasper rushed to Rhea’s side, once again playing the role of her prized savior, her shining armor. It was a scene Alia had witnessed far too many times.Every time he rushed to protect Rhea whenever she played the victim, a wave of inexplicable disgust twisted inside Alia.Whenever I see him saving her like this, it always makes me jealous, she thought bitterly. I really want to slap myself for ever feeling that way.Jasper quickly helped Rhea up, holding her tightly in his arms.“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice thick

Chapter: Chapter 86“A distribution and brand endorsement agreement?” Knight asked, his expression clearly questioning her.“Even if I don’t work for you, at least this agreement will give you the authority to sell under Silver Passion,” she replied.“The agreement also includes giving both Anderson Fragrance and Silver Passion first look at all of my creations,” she continued, glancing in Caspian’s direction. “Mr. Anderson mentioned before that Rafflesia was willing to teach other perfumers in the company, so I’m giving that idea a chance.”Caspian’s eyes widened. “A—are you serious? You’re willing to do that now?”Alia nodded. “Truthfully, your old man told me about your suggestion a long time ago. I was just too busy preparing for my wedding with Jasper back then, so I rejected the idea. Now that we’re doing business together, why not include training as well?”Caspian immediately nodded in agreement. “Right. Since this agreement was made on short notice, I’ll ask my assistant to personally send the c

Chapter: Chapter 85As soon as Alia opened the door, she was surprise to see the two siblings, Ursula and Caspian, inside the private room.The siblings sat side by side at the round table while Knight sat one chair apart from them and his assistant Philip is standing behind his boss.Her gaze shifted from them, each one giving them a look. Her curiosity couldn't be contain that she questioned the two."Why is Mr. and Ms. Anderson here?" she asked, tilting her head. Her gaze shifted to Knight. "Aren't we here to talk about business?"Knight's stern and serious expression didn't change. He explained. "They insisted to come with me when they find out I'll be meeting with you.""Why would they—"She didn't get to finish her sentence when Caspian interrupted her."Ms. Morvane, let us explain first. I know you have a grudge against us siblings but please, we did not seek to meet you with the intention to harm nor insult you like we did last night," Caspian explained.Ursula butted in. "That's right, Alia! We

Chapter: Chapter 84As the two walked out, followed by Philip who kept a respectful distance behind them, they noticed that the area was unusually quiet. There were no guests in sight—only the servants and butlers of the Anderson family, busy clearing the place.Out of curiosity, Alia stopped a passing servant.“Did the party end early?”The servant nodded. “Yes, ma’am. Young Master ordered us to clean immediately after the Old Master’s birthday celebration. He ended the party early.”Alia nodded and thanked the servant before walking away.Once they were outside the Anderson Estate, she headed toward her car. Just as she reached for the door, someone suddenly held her hand, causing her to stop in place.She looked down at the hand gripping hers, then slowly lifted her gaze to meet Knight’s eyes.“Is there anything you need, Mr. Silvercrest?” she asked.“I…” he hesitated briefly before continuing. “I would like to invite you to talk tomorrow. You already know what it’s about.”Alia smiled faintly. “Just

Chapter: Chapter 83Little did Eduardo expect that someone—an ordinary orphaned little girl—would be the one to resolve his concerns.Seeing young Alia immerse herself in reading and learning from the notes written in his notebook, he decided to teach her. At first, he did not expect much from her, but the little girl surprised him every day.She was a fast learner—quick-witted and attentive to every nag and lesson. Despite his strictness, young Alia listened well and never complained.From that point on, he grew immensely proud of her. To teach and discover a hidden gem like Alia was a rare blessing. He was so proud that he was ready to boast about her to the world when her first perfume creation became a huge hit upon its release in the market.“I wanted to introduce Alia as my successor and even adopt her as my granddaughter, but this little girl refused me,” he said, a hint of hurt in his voice.Alia held Eduardo’s hand, comforting him.“I already told you before, old man. I’m not into fame. As for w
