LOGINHe left his bride at the altar for a man… and now his father is paying a broke club girl twenty million dollars to fix him. Bryan Walter was supposed to marry the perfect society princess. Instead, a leaked sex tape of him with another man destroyed the wedding in front of hundreds of guests. Now his reputation is in ruins. His father is disgusted. And his jealous brother is already circling the family company like a shark that smells blood. Now enters Catherine Ortega. A single mother(not by choice), and a club waitress who had two kids dumped on her by her runaway sister. With rent overdue and kids to feed, she had no option left than to pick up the stripper work to gain extra cash. During the gig, a mysterious VIP offers her twenty million dollars for one job, she almost walks away… until she hears the terms: One hundred days. Live with the scandal-ridden billionaire, play the perfect girlfriend in public and turn him straight. She needed the money while he needed the clean image. Neither of them expects the hate to burn this hot… or the nights to get this messy. Now they had to act in love in front of cameras while the real tension happened behind closed doors. This was a contract that was never supposed to include feelings. But in a family full of secrets, jealous siblings, and people who want them both to fail, one hundred days might not be enough to survive each other. And when the contract ends… someone is going to lose everything.

Narrator’s POV From what I’d heard, it was supposed to be the wedding of the year. There were flowers flown over with five hundred guests that had been carefully chosen alongside a bride who had probably been preparing for this day since she was twelve and a groom whose last name alone could open every door in the city. People had been talking about it for months. The venue, the designer dress, the private island honeymoon that was supposed to follow right after. It was the kind of wedding girls pinned on their vision boards and aunties used to wish for their own children. Everything looked and felt perfect. Until it was not. Alice stood at the altar in a gown that cost more than most people’s yearly rent, hands folded tight in front of her, her smile was fixed so hard it looked painful. The pastor kept glancing toward the entrance while the bridesmaids shifted from one foot to the other. Guests who had been smiling and waving phones for pictures started leaning into each other, voices dropping low. “Is he seriously not here yet?” “Maybe he’s stuck in traffic?” “Traffic? On a day like this? Please. Something is definitely wrong.” Bryan’s side of the family sat stiff in the front rows. His father stared straight ahead, jaw locked while the stepmother kept her expression neutral, but her eyes moved constantly, measuring every whisper. And then there was Darson, Bryan’s brother. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, phone face-down on his thigh, looking like a man who already knew the ending of a movie everyone else was still watching. A soft sound cut through the murmurs. Darson glanced down, then stood and walked a few feet away from the row, turning his back to the altar as he answered. “Is it ready?” His voice was low, almost bored. “I’ve been waiting. Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet now.” Whoever was on the other end said something that made the corner of Darson’s mouth curl. “Good. Send it now. I want every screen in this place lit up before he even thinks of walking through that door.” He paused, listening. “No. I don’t care how you got it. Just make sure the face is clear. People need to see exactly who their perfect groom really is.” There was another short silence before he spoke again. “You’re doing the right thing. He was going to lock everything down today. From marriage to inheriting the company. Once this plays out as expected, nobody will look at him the same again.” He ended the call without a goodbye and slipped the phone back into his pocket. Carly, his sister, had followed him a few steps. She spoke in a low and sharp. “What were you doing just now? Who was that?” Darson turned his head slightly, eyes still on the altar, and whispered so only she could hear. “You’ll see.” He walked back to his seat like nothing had happened. Carly frowned but followed, settling beside him with a restless look. The rest of the family had not noticed the exchange. Alice was still smiling when the first screen flickered. It started on the large display behind the pastor, the one meant for the live feed of the couple’s first kiss. Then the side screens caught it too. One by one the monitors around the hall lit up with the same footage; showing a hotel bed and Bryan, unmistakable even from the angle, shirt open with his head tipped back. In between his legs was a man burying his whole length into his mouth. No room for polite interpretation. For three full seconds the hall was silent. Then the aftershock hit. Someone gasped. A phone camera started recording. The murmurs turned into open talk, sharp and rising. “Is that…?” “That’s Bryan.” “With a man?” “Oh my God.” Alice’s smile cracked first at the edges. She turned toward the nearest screen, then the next, as if she was hoping the image would change if she looked hard enough. Her hands dropped from their careful fold as the bouquet slipped from her hand. One of the bridesmaids reached for her and missed. Darson watched it all with a calm expression of someone who had already collected his prize. He did not smile wide. He did not need to. The satisfaction sat quiet in his eyes as he leaned back and let the noise swell around him. This was the moment he had arranged. The video had not leaked by accident. The man in it had not acted alone. Darson had made sure the timing was perfect. Destroy his brother’s image on his wedding day in the presence of the full audience. No other way to bury it quietly. Bryan’s father stood so fast his chair scraped. His wife’s hand landed on his arm, but he shook it off. The guests in the back rows were already standing, some pushing toward the aisles, others holding their phones higher. The pastor tried to speak and no one listened. Alice took one step back from the altar. Then another. Her chest rose and fell too quickly. Her mascara had not started running yet, but her eyes were bright with the kind of tears that came from shock first and shame second. She looked toward the entrance like Bryan might still appear and explain everything away. But he didn’t. Someone near the front said it loud enough for everyone to hear. “He left her at the altar for this?” Another voice answered, sharper. “He didn’t leave. He got caught.” The hall that was silent minutes ago had now turned into a living thing, restless and hungry for more. Darson finally allowed himself a small breath of a laugh, covered by a cough as he stood and adjusted his cuffs. He caught his father’s eye and arranged his face into something closer to concern. The performance was important. Later he would be the brother who tried to hold the family together. Right now he only needed to watch the first crack spread. Carly sat frozen beside him, eyes wide on the nearest screen. She turned to Darson once, but he gave her nothing except that same quiet look that said he had told her she would see. Alice made a sound that was not quite a sob. She turned from the altar completely and walked, then walked faster, past the bridesmaids, past the open-mouthed guests, down the long aisle while cameras followed her like she was the main event. The scene still kept playing. Someone had not cut the feed. Bryan’s face remained clear in every frame, caught in a moment he had never planned for an audience. The man with him stayed mostly turned away, but it did not matter. The damage was already done. Darson slipped his hands into his pockets and glanced once more at the entrance, as if checking whether his brother might still try to salvage anything. The doorway stayed empty. Outside, the city kept moving but inside, the perfect wedding had finished collapsing in under ten minutes. And somewhere, not here, not answering any of the calls that were about to flood his phone, Bryan was still missing. Where exactly could the groom be while his entire life was being expelled into thin air in front of five hundred witnesses?Chapter 5Bryan’s POV“But dad, it was an accident.”My father’s eyes narrowed across the desk. “Accident? You call that an accident? You’re disgusting as shit. Fucking a guy?”I stayed in the chair opposite him and forced my voice to stay even. “It was one night. It got out of hand.”“Out of hand?” He leaned forward, both palms flat on the wood. “You left a woman standing at the altar so you could stick your dick in some man. You know what that makes you look like? A pussy. Why the hell would any real man leave a woman for that? Explain it to me.”“I already told you it will not happen again.”“Of course it won’t happen. Cause I’ve got a solution for you.”The words made me slowly uncross my legs. “And what’s that?”“You’re getting married.”I let out a short breath that was almost a laugh. “Dad…? I don’t think Alice or her parents would accept that.”“Alice?” He rubbed his temples like the name itself irritated him. “They’d be stupid to accept you back and I’d be crazy to try and sp
Chapter 4Catherine’s POV“I’d offer you 20 million dollars if you can turn my son straight.”I scoffed. Rich people and their stupid conditions. He was probably joking but he did look like the type who could throw that kind of money at a stranger without blinking. Still, the other part of my brain would not shut up. What if he was actually telling the truth?“You’re joking right?”“And do I look like I have the time to be joking?”“Well,” I shrugged. “I don’t know you tell me.”He reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and pulled out a checkbook. His pen moved fast across the paper. When he stood and held it out I saw the number clearly. Twenty million dollars. My breath caught. I reached for it on instinct but he pulled it back just as quickly, folding the check once and slipping it away again.“But you’re not getting this until you can actually fulfil the contract.”“And what makes you think I can?”“You’ve got the moves and if I’m thinking correctly, the wits too.”I chuckled
Chapter 3Catherine’s POVWhile I was working my shift, I noticed that the two useless men who frequently visit the bar had been staring at my ass for twenty minutes straight. I kept wiping the same counter, moving bottles around like I had a reason to stay busy, but I felt their eyes the whole time. One of them finally raised his voice.“Look at that body. Bet she knows exactly what to do with it.”His friend laughed. “Come on, baby. Why you acting shy? We tip pretty good. Come over here and show us something.”I did not look up. I had heard worse on slower nights. Still, the words landed heavy when you were already tired and counting the hours until you could leave. One of them reached across when I passed too close and tried to grab at my hip. I stepped back hard enough that his fingers closed on air.“Don’t touch me,” I said, keeping my voice flat.“Or what? You too good for us now? Looking like that and playing hard to get. We know what girls like you are for.”The second one joi
Chapter 2.Bryan’s POVI woke up to the kind of headache that made the room tilt for a second. I buried my hands into the soft sheets as my brain tried recalling how I ended up in this unfamiliar room and for a moment, I just lay there, staring up, trying to piece together how the night had ended.It was supposed to be simple. A break away from the endless meetings and the weight of my father’s expectations. I had gone out, had a few drinks, let myself look at someone without calculating the consequences. The guy was cute and blonde. I didn’t know his name though but he was the kind of company that did not ask for anything heavy. We had ended up here, and I had let it happen. Nothing more than that. Or at least that was what I told myself while the rest of the night stayed blurry.I stretched and turned to look at him. He was still asleep beside me, one arm thrown across the pillow, hair messy against the white sheets, snoring peacefully. Completely unaware. I watched him for a few se
