Chapter: Chapter 58Pagkatapos naming mag-agahan, si Denver na ang naghugas ng mga plato, habang ako naman ay pinipilit na tumayo, hindi naman na gaano kasakit ang pagitan ng hita ko.Papunta ako ng banyo para maligo, malagkit na kasi ako.Mga ilang minuto ako sa banyo na naliligo ng matapos ako. Ang ginhawa sa pakiramdam ang mainit na tubig.“You didn't wait me?” biglang tanong ni Denver pagkapasok ng kwarto.“Eh ano kasi, ang lagkit ko na kaya naligo na ako,” tugon ko at naglakad para lumabas ng kwarto niya. Nasa kabilang kwarto kasi iyong mga damit ko.“It's fine, dress up formal we going into mall,” saad niya paglapit sa akin.“Mall? Anong gagawin natin doon?” Saglit akong tumigil sa paglalakad."We'll buy some souvenirs because our flight back to the Philippines is tomorrow,” ani niya at lumapit sa akin.Oo nga pala, ika-pitong araw na namin dito sa Korea, tapos na kasi ang lahat ng business meeting niya rito. At sakto ibibili ko sila Mama at Kuya ng gusto nila.“Oh sige, magbibihis lang ako,” ani k

Chapter: Chapter 57Nagmulat ako ng mga mata dahil sa liwanag na unti-unting tumatama sa kisame—galing sa manipis na kurtinang. Ilang segundo akong hindi gumalaw. Hinayaan ko lang ang sarili kong maramdaman ang bawat himig ng katahimikan, at ang bigat ng bisig na nakapulupot sa baywang ko.Nakahiga ako paharap sa kay Denver, at kahit hindi ko pa siya tinitingnan, alam kong gising siya.Ramdam ko ang dahan-dahan niyang paghinga, ang mabigat pero mahinahong tibok ng puso niya na tila sinasabayan ang akin. Ang braso niyang nakaakbay sa akin ay mahigpit, parang ayaw akong paalisin kahit isang pulgada.Napangiti ako. Maliit lang. Pero totoo.Pinikit ko uli ang mga mata ko, sininghot ang bango ng unan — may halong amoy niyang woodsy scent, at konting hint ng mainit na balat at pabango."I know you’re awake," bulong niya.Napamulat ako. Tila tumalbog ang puso ko nang marinig ko ang husky na boses niyang gumising sa katahimikan ng umaga.“Good morning,” nakangiting ani ko, paos at mahina. “Good morning too,” tu

Chapter: Chapter 56Tahimik ang buong unit. Ang tanging maririnig ay ang mahinang ugong ng aircon at ang mabilis na tibok ng puso ko na parang may gustong ipahiwatig. Para akong nakabitin sa pagitan ng dalawang mundo — isang parte ng sarili kong alam kung anong nangyayari, at isang parte na takot mahulog.Habang lalong palalim ang bawat halik niya ay lalong nag-iinit ang katawan ko.Mga ilang saglit ay pinutol na niya ang paghalik, parehas kaming habol ang hiniya. Napatingin ako sa kaniya yung mga mata nangungusap.May lalim. May init. May pagnanasa na pinipigil... hanggang sa hindi na niya kaya.“Here,” mahina niyang sabi habang iniabot ang pajama. “I picked the softest ones I could find. I know you get cold easily.”Napalunok ako. “Salamat,” mahina kong sagot.Tumayo na ako, handa sanang lumakad papuntang banyo, pero bago pa ako makalayo, hinawakan niya ang pulso ko. Hindi marahas. Sapat lang para huminto ako.“Sienna,” tawag niya. Ngayon, mas mababa ang boses niya. Mas mabigat. “Wait.”Lumingon ako sa

Chapter: Chapter 55Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses na akong huminga nang malalim ngayong gabi — pero bawat buntong-hininga, may kasamang kilig, kaba, at konting pagkalito.Ang ganda ng gabi.Ang daming nangyari.At hanggang ngayon, hawak ko pa rin ‘yung bouquet.Nang matapos na ang mga speeches, performances, at games, isa-isang lumalapit ang mga bisita para personal na batiin ang bagong kasal. May ibang yumayakap, may nag-aabot ng regalo, may mga nagse-selfie pa kasama si Hana — kasi naman, sikat talaga siya.“Let’s go,” biglang sabi ni Denver sa tabi ko. “It’s our turn to greet them.”Tumango ako. Medyo kabado, pero hindi na rin ako tumutol.Habang papalapit kami sa stage kung nasaan sina Hana at Min-ji, naramdaman ko ang mga matang nakatingin sa amin, kahit na ganito ang eksena kanina kinakabahan pa rin ako. Pero iba ‘yung pakiramdam ko kapag hawak niya ang kamay ko.Pagdating sa harap, agad akong nginitian ni Hana. Yung genuine smile niya na parang alam ang iniisip ko. Si Min-ji naman, ngumiti rin at

Chapter: Chapter 54Pagkatapos ng bouquet toss, halos hindi pa rin ako mapaniwala. Ang dami pa ring bumabati sa akin, tumatawa, nagpapakuha ng picture — as if ako ang bagong bride. Pero ang totoo, ang utak ko ay nasa isang tao lang.Si Denver.Simula nang makuha ko ang bouquet, hindi na nawala ang ngiti niya. Nakatayo lang siya sa isang tabi, tahimik pero present. Parang sinasabi ng mga mata niya, "Sinabi ko na eh."Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang muling narinig ang host.“And now, gentlemen! It’s time for the garter toss! Please come to the front!”Napalingon ako agad sa direksyon ni Denver. Naglalakad siya pa-center — kalmado lang, walang pagmamadali, pero imposibleng hindi mapansin. Tall, confident, naka-black suit na parang bagong labas sa magazine.May mga kalalakihang sumali — mostly mga celebrity guests, groomsmen, at mga model-looking na lalaki. Pero si Denver? Bakit siya sasali? Kasal kaya kami.“Alright! Are you ready?” sigaw ng host.The guys cheered.Ang groom, si Min-ji, lumuhod sa harap ni Ha

Chapter: Chapter 53Tumahimik ang buong lugar, at kasabay non ang kaba na nararamdaman ko. Bakit ako kinakabahan?. Lahat kami ay nakatayo na sa kani-kaniyang pwesto. Ang mga ilaw, bahagyang pinadilim, habang qwwwwang spotlight ay tumutok sa malawak na pinto ng event hall. Tapos, unti-unting tumugtog ang Canon in D sa strings — ang paboritong bridal march ng halos lahat ng ikinakasal sa Korean dramas.At doon, sa mismong sandaling ‘yon, bumukas ang pinto.At lumitaw si Hana grabe ang ganda talaga ng idol ko.Napatigil ako sa paghinga.Si Hana… THE Hana. Superstar. Multi-awarded actress. Leading lady ng mga paborito kong Kdrama. At ngayon nakasuot ng eleganteng white gown na tila isinukat para lang sa kanya ng mga designer. Mahaba ang veil, may pearls ang hem ng dress, at sa bawat hakbang niya, para siyang lumulutang.Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba idol ko siya kaya ganito ang nararamdaman ko, pero seryoso — parang slow motion ang lahat. Parang nanonood lang ako ng K-drama ngayon.“Ang ganda niya,” bulong k

Love Beyond Contact (English Version)
Synopsis
Sienna Rodriguez was left with no choice but to agree to a marriage contract with Denver Thompson — a cold yet striking billionaire and the powerful CEO of Thompson Corporation. The marriage was a desperate exchange: two years of her life as his wife in return for the financial help she needed to pay for her mother and brother’s medical expenses after a tragic accident.
Before this, Sienna had worked as Denver’s secretary — until she discovered that he was indirectly responsible for the death of her second eldest brother. She resigned immediately, full of grief and hatred, cutting all ties with him.
Unknown to Sienna, Denver had fallen for her the first time he saw her. But love was a complicated thing for Sienna — her heart was still scarred by her past relationship with Oliver, a toxic ex who wouldn’t let her go.
Agreeing to the contract marriage, Sienna finds herself trapped not only by legal bindings but by the disapproval of Denver’s powerful father and his vengeful ex-fiancée, Lisha. Yet as the days go by, she starts to see a different side of Denver. Against her will, her heart begins to soften. She slowly lets down her walls and even gives herself to him — and soon, a child is conceived.
But fate plays another cruel trick.
After an accident, Denver wakes up with amnesia, forgetting the last seven years of his life — including his love for Sienna. His old arrogant, ruthless self resurfaces, and Lisha seizes this chance to win him back.
Can Sienna fight to bring back the man who once loved her? Will she survive the battle against a powerful family who refuses to accept her and a love that now only lives in her memories?

Chapter: Chapter 47; More Than Just the Salmon★ Sienna’s POV ★ I sat in silence, poking at my food as Denver engaged in yet another conversation with his business partners. He was still right beside me—technically—but his chair was turned just enough to show where his attention really was. I could hear their low voices, full of technical terms and numbers I didn’t even bother trying to understand. I was used to this—used to him being in his element. But tonight… something felt different. The silence between us wasn’t comfortable. It was cold. Heavy. I thought tonight would be special, maybe even romantic. But instead, I found myself dining with a man who had forgotten he came with someone. Trying to distract myself, I focused on my plate. The food was delicious, to be fair. The salmon was buttery and soft, the asparagus still crisp despite being plated a while ago. But even with such fine cuisine, I had no appetite. I cut into the fish with care and took another small bite. "You’re not clingy, Sienna. You don’t need to int

Chapter: Chapter 46:Unspoken Truths and Sudden Tensions★ Sienna’s POV ★The moment I heard that voice, something clicked inside my memory. It was warm, upbeat, and vaguely familiar—almost too familiar. I turned my head instinctively, and there he was.Jiro.He was dressed in a sleek black suit, a wine glass in one hand, his dark hair neatly styled. Behind him, two Korean guests remained seated at the table he had just left. From the look of things, he had only recently stepped away.As he walked toward our table, my whole body froze. I didn’t know how to react. And from the way Denver stiffened beside me, I could tell he wasn’t expecting this either.“Sienna!” Jiro greeted with a bright smile, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of surprise. “I didn’t know you’d be here tonight.”I didn’t answer right away. I just stared at him, unable to process the sudden collision of two completely separate parts of my life. Then, Jiro shifted his gaze to Denver and gave a polite nod.“Mr. Thompson?”“You two know each other?” Denver asked, his voice ca

Chapter: Chapter 45: Into My World★ Denver’s POV ★When we arrived at the venue, I carefully pulled the car into the private parking space beneath the rooftop restaurant. It was one of those exclusive spots in Gangnam—minimalist architecture, glass everywhere, warm ambient lights glowing through the windows, and the kind of panoramic view of Seoul’s skyline you’d expect on the cover of a wedding magazine. Perfect setting for Hana’s wedding dinner.I stepped out first and walked over to the passenger side. I didn’t say a word—just extended my hand to her. She looked at me briefly before placing her hand in mine. Her grip was firm, but I could feel her nerves.She looked absolutely stunning tonight, but I could tell this environment was new to her. And I couldn’t blame her—she wasn’t used to these high-profile social events filled with executives, media people, and celebrities. This was my world… and for the first time, I was letting her step into it, not as my employee, but as my wife.As we approached the entrance tha

Chapter: Chapter 44: The Red Dress and Everything That Followed★ Sienna’s POV ★I had just finished fixing the bed when a knock came at the door.“Sienna?” Denver’s voice floated from the hallway. “Can I come in?”I rolled my eyes even though he couldn’t see me. “Come in,” I replied, quickly fixing my oversized shirt and shorts. I looked nothing close to “dinner-ready.” I wasn’t even close to breakfast-ready. I looked like I belonged under a blanket, binge-watching shows—not attending some formal dinner.He stepped inside with two large paper bags in hand, both stamped with logos from a luxury boutique and a well-known makeup brand.“We have dinner tonight,” he announced, placing the bags on the bed with a soft smile. “It’s for Hana’s wedding planning. Formal setting. I had this picked out for you. I hope you like it.”My brows furrowed. “Wait—dinner? Tonight? And you’re telling me now?”“I didn’t want to pressure you earlier,” he said, calm as ever. “You were upset, and I didn’t want to push. But… I’d really like it if you came with me tonight.”

Chapter: Chapter 43: Warm Apologies and Spicy Tteokbokki★ Sienna’s POV ★I had already gone through several episodes of a K-drama, yet I hadn’t understood a single thing. The subtitles were there, sure, but my brain wasn’t absorbing any of it. I just sat there, staring blankly at the screen, mindlessly stuffing chips into my mouth—chips that now tasted like cardboard, yet I kept chewing as if they’d suddenly taste better the more I ate.We had been in Korea for almost two days now, but it felt like nothing. I hadn’t been invited anywhere. I hadn’t even been asked if I wanted to join. Yes, I was technically just the secretary on paper. But wasn’t I also his wife?With a sigh, I reached for my phone resting beside me on the couch. One new message.DenverHave you eaten yet? How’s your day going? Sorry about today.“Wow. Texting me now, huh?” I muttered under my breath. “How thoughtful.” I rolled my eyes and tossed my phone back onto the sofa, refusing to even reply. Whatever. Let him deal with it.I focused my eyes back on the screen, still

Chapter: Chapter 42: The Space Between Silence★ Sienna’s POV ★“We just arrived the other day. My husband’s here for a business trip,” I explained with a polite smile, wrapping my fingers tighter around the cup in front of me.“Oh, you’re married?” Jiro asked, clearly surprised. He slowed down for a moment as he adjusted the chair across from me.I wasn’t sure why, but his reaction made something twist quietly in my chest. Maybe it wasn’t even his question—it was the memory that came with it. Denver hadn’t texted me all day. Not even a simple “Have you eaten?” or “I’ll be late.” Nothing. Usually, he’d at least check in once. Today? Not even a seen message.“How long have you been married?” Jiro asked again, his tone light but curious.I paused. How long had we been married? It hadn’t even been a full year. Actually… it might only be a few months.“You okay?” he asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Yeah. Sorry. Something just crossed my mind,” I said quickly, forcing a smile that felt a little too practiced.“Hm. Alright.” His v
