My Beggar Fiancè (English Version)

Chapter One **Jheanne's POV** I was restless, jittery, unable to stand still. Of course I was. Today was my wedding day. I was so excited to get married to the man I loved with all my heart. Hugo Makatarungan. Even his last name sounded righteous, didn't it? Hugo had been my long-time boyfriend. We were together for eight years before he finally asked me to marry him. He was the very first man I ever said yes to. My first boyfriend. My first everything. He was kind. He never pressured me into having sex with him. We hadn't even kissed. That was how careful he'd always been with me, and that was exactly why I loved him so much. And I was ready to marry him. Like right now. I was standing at the altar in the church, my hand looped around my father's arm, waiting for him. Yes, I got there first. When I arrived, he still wasn't there, so I just went up to the altar. There was nothing wrong with that. What mattered was that we were getting married. We were both headed there anyw

Chapter 3**Jheanne's POV**I sat beside Ubi while my parents sat across from us.They couldn't stop staring at him-especially Dad. He looked like he wanted to bite his head off. They were probably thinking something had happened between us, especially with my clothes still scattered across the floor. I hadn't had the chance to pick them up earlier because I'd been too busy bathing him before his smell killed me.I sighed and snapped my fingers in front of Dad's face because he looked like he was seconds away from strangling the man beside me, who, by the way, looked completely unbothered."Dad, stop staring at him like you're going to throw him out the window," I said, shaking my head.Dad turned to me, looking utterly appalled."Because I will if he doesn't marry you, Jheanne!"I winced.Seriously? Marriage already? I'd just been left hanging at the altar because of Hugo's betrayal, and now Dad already wanted to marry me off to the random man I'd dragged into my condo?"Dad-""He's

Chapter 5**Jheanne's POV**I woke up because something heavy was draped over my lower stomach and chest.Slowly, I opened my eyes to see what it was.And my eyes nearly bulged out of my head when I saw Ubi.One of his long legs was sprawled over my pelvis, his face was buried under my arm near my armpit, and one of his arms was wrapped around my chest."Waaaaah!" I screamed, smacking his arm and jerking upright.He startled awake and sat up on the bed, looking dazed.Meanwhile, I practically leapt to the side of the bed, cheeks burning, arms wrapped around myself."Why were you hugging me, Ubi, huh? Pervert!" I snapped.He looked up at me with dull, sleepy eyes and shook his head."I'm not a pervert... it was cold..." he said, lowering his gaze.Guilt hit me immediately.I shouldn't have said that.And I could already see the red mark on his skin from where I'd slapped him so hard."I'm sorry, Ubi. You just startled me. Go back to sleep," I said.But he shook his head, got up, and wa

Chapter 7**Hugo's POV**"Shit!"I hurled my laptop across the room in frustration.I couldn't focus because of what had happened earlier.How dare he kiss Jheanne?"Argh!"I dragged both hands down my face.I'd waited so long to kiss those lips, only for someone else to get there first? That man was the one enjoying what should have been mine?I tried searching for him online but found nothing.Who the hell was he?There was something strange about that guy. Something off.I wanted to know more about him, but I had almost nothing to go on. I didn't even know his full name."Ubi? What the fuck kind of name is that?"I grabbed my beer from the table and took a long swig.I couldn't stop being irritated.I didn't think I was jealous.I just couldn't accept the fact that after I ran out on our wedding, she somehow got herself a fiancé immediately. That fast? I knew Jheanne. She didn't trust men easily, especially strangers. And in the entire eight years we were together, I was the only m
