Hired By Sin: My Husband's Brother
"Babayaran kita, kahit ilan ang gusto mo... Maging asawa lang kita."
Hindi lubos isipin ni Stella na masasabi niya iyon sa tanang buhay niya.
She built her whole life on loyalty. She was a woman who stood by her beliefs, until the world gave her a reason not to.
Nasa coma ang asawa niya, at si Stella ang may kagagawan. Ayaw niyang makulong. Ayaw niyang mawala sa isang iglap ang yamang pinaghirapan niya. Kaya sa isang malamig na gabi— nakita niyang muli ang kapatid ng kanyang asawa at nakiusap. Laking gulat niya nang pumayag ito.
Bahala na. Kapag nagising ang asawa niya, ititigil na rin niya ang kahibangang ito.
Until then, Hector will be her proxy husband, the key to the power and wealth she has been chasing in the Philippines. She won't waste a single moment. Every day before he wakes is borrowed time, and she knows it.
And when that day comes, she will accept whatever fate decides. She committed a crime, she cheated, and she will lose everything. She will even pretend that her contract husband never existed, not in her mind, and not in her heart.
But how do you erase a man you paid to pretend, when he has already started to feel real?
A love that is bought and bound.
