LOGINKaliya Ortiz is the illegitimate daughter of the Reyes family who handles businesses around the country. Treated like a nobody in her own family she grew up to be a quiet woman, always hidden in plain sight. Caleb Cruz is the man behind the DY group that dominated the country’s economy. A known business figure and a bachelor on top of that. Many women attempted to make him theirs but the unmoving Caleb wasn’t easy to seduce. Fate somehow seemed to toy the two and decided to play Cupid. "Will you marry me?” "What can you give me then?" She frowned, seemingly lost in thought and then said, "I can give you money." "I'm not in need of money." "Then a house?" "I already have one." "A beautiful wife." He laughed but wasn't convinced. "That certainly is a good catch but..." he trailed off. "It's tempting but no." The woman stared at him, unsmiling. "Then my body?" His smile didn't fade. "Do you want to give it to me?" An encounter leads them to a tangle of messes and to contracts and maybe… towards love.
View MoreKaliya was at Caleb's villa, unpacking her things. For their convenience, she agreed to be with him in a house with the two of them in two years time. Caleb said that they might move out after their wedding but Kaliya liked the place. Caleb's workplace is only ten minutes away from the villa, so it was pretty convenient to him. As for her, she liked it because the villa was small and classy. It doesn't feel suffocating, rather, it feels like she was in a home. A proper home. Just then, her phone rang. Amanda was calling her. "Hello."["I've heard something from father and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."]"If it is about my marriage to Caleb Cruz, then yes. You've heard it right."["And they said that you two have been dating for some time."]"Sister," Kaliya snapped. "You don't believe me, do you? You've always thought that our parent's words are true and not mine. If you heard it from them, then just believe it. Why bother asking?"["It's your marriage for g*dd*mn's sak
"As you can see, I have three objectives with this engagement."They just came back and the first thing Caleb talked about is the issue at hand. "First, I need a wife because I don't want to hear anymore nags from my old man. Second, with our family connections, we will be of great benefits to each other. And lastly, I need someone to ward off marriage talks. I'm sure you were forced to marry someone out of your will thus, in this contract, you and I can be free of our problems temporarily."Caleb spoke like a businessman who only babbled about the benefits."What do I get?"Of course, she was also well versed with business talks. "A fee of 20 billion dollars after the contract ends two years later and some properties. I can also reserve you a place in our company as one of our top shareholders."Actually, it was more than enough. But Kaliya had no thoughts in owning such a big amount of money nor being a shareholder. It was again a shock that the man in front of her is a billionair
Kaliya stared at the mansion before her. It looked awfully familiar and a foreboding sense covered her whole system. The place Caleb brought her was the Reyes Mansion that she despised. Earlier, Caleb instructed her to make herself presentable and gave her a box. Inside it was a white dress and a pair of low-heeled sandals. Without questioning much, she put on the dress. She was amazed at how the dress fitted her, like it was made for her only.Together, Caleb and Kaliya left the villa in their formal wear. As to why Kaliya agreed on this, she felt that she needed to pay Caleb for saving her. However, to go to her parents residence without any knowledge confused her.Before going out of the car, Caleb reached out of her hand and put a ring on her fourth finger. It was a simple band which was to her liking. "Be prepared for a drama," he advised her. The butler ushered them inside, seemingly knowing that they were coming."The Master and the Madam are inside."Kaliya felt her heart s
Kaliya stopped struggling. She knew the feeling and found it very familiar. In the state of helplessness, she stayed still as her hands are tied again. "A marriage certificate is just paper, Kaliya," Jonas laughed lightly. "The real gem is you."She clenched her fists and kept quiet. "Do you know why treasures are hidden?""...""Because it can be taken. And I am a very possessive person. I don't want anyone taking my property."She felt disgusted. The moment she first met Jonas, she was sure that they would never be acquaintances. "I'm not an object you can covet, Jonas."At the same time, bam, the door of the room slammed open. Caleb looked at the room with an indifferent face. He took notice of Kaliya tied in a chair and walked towards her."What the! Security! What kind of bullsh*t is this?!" Jonas screamed. The two men in suits behind Jonas reached for their guns but were startled by the people with guns pointing at them coming in the room. "What is this?!" Another shout cam
