Semua Bab MOMMY FOR HIRE: BREAKING THE CEO'S WALL [ ENGLISH ] : Bab 1 - Bab 10

The mysterious man left Charlene at the large hospital, and she never saw him again after that. The air outside was cold, brushing lightly against her face as she walked out through the emergency entrance. The nurses had attended to her, following the man’s instructions.“Ma’am, none of your bones are broken, so you can relax now,” the nurse said with a smile after Charlene had spent a long time complaining about the pain. Her eyes were almost closing from exhaustion and irritation.“Are you sure? It still hurts a little…” Charlene said, trying to suppress a groan.“Ma’am, what would be the point of me being a nurse if I wasn’t sure?” the woman replied, clearly close to losing her patience. “Is there anything else you need?”“No. Thank you,” Charlene answered softly, lowering her head as she leaned against the wall.“You’re welcome,” the nurse said before walking away.After a while, Charlene decided to leave the hospital and continue her search for work—or at least for a place to sta

After leaving Kerill, Charlene went straight to the police station to file a complaint against him. But the moment the officers heard his name, their expressions changed. Everyone knew the power of the Wang family—and no one wanted to stand against them.“Your evidence isn’t strong enough, miss,” one officer said flatly. “We can’t accept everything you claim, especially without proof.”“But, sir—” Charlene tried to protest.“Just go home for now,” another officer interrupted, giving her colleague a meaningful look. “We’ll take care of it.”Charlene had no choice but to leave.Even without saying it directly, she knew they had no intention of pursuing her case. It angered her to realize how easily money and influence could silence even the police.As she walked away, she suddenly realized her suitcase was gone.She collapsed onto the sidewalk and let her tears fall. She was exhausted, broken, and completely lost. Manila had not been what she imagined. For the first time, she regretted

After Black finished explaining everything to Charlene—especially the real reason Kerill needed her—she finally agreed. Over and over, she reminded herself that she was doing this not for Kerill, but for the children.She knew too well how painful it was to grow up in a broken family. Her own father had left when she was still young, and even now, the weight of that absence still lingered in her heart. So when she learned what the children’s real mother had done, she couldn’t help but feel pity for them.Everything came with a price.In exchange for pretending to be Kerill’s wife and acting as the children’s temporary mother, she would receive one million pesos. For Charlene, it was an enormous amount—especially now that she had no home, no job, and almost no money left.She carefully read the contract Kerill handed her. She didn’t rush. She examined every line, making sure there were no conditions that would harm her. When she saw that everything was clear, she quietly picked up the

A day had passed, and it was Saturday morning, so the kids had no school. Charlene decided to use this chance to get to know them better. She looked for them in their rooms but found none, so she thought of going down to the living room.But she almost broke a bone when she didn’t notice the marbles scattered on the stairs. One wrong step and she slipped.She had nothing to hold on to, so she rolled straight down to the bottom of the stairs. A hard impact met her body as she hit the tile floor. Her whole body went weak from the pain.“Good morning, Charlene.”Slowly, she lifted her head and saw the twins and Lily standing in front of her. All three grinned as they watched her struggle to stand.She didn’t need to ask; she already knew they were behind this.“You said you’d play with us,” Wency said. “Do you want to play hide and seek?”Charlene forced herself to stand, even though her body ached all over. She tried to smile.“O-okay,” she stammered.From the second floor, Erica watche

Charlene slept well that night, so when she opened her eyes the next morning, her body felt lighter. Today, she would begin her plan to get closer to the children. It wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to try—no matter how hard it became.“Good morning, Ma’am,” the household staff greeted as she passed them in the hallway.The words made her chest feel heavy.She was the owner’s wife—even if only on paper.Still, she returned every smile. She didn’t want to be seen as cold or arrogant. She wanted to get along with everyone, even if she was only meant to stay in this mansion for a short time.When she reached the stairs, she saw Edgar, Kerill’s ever-present bodyguard.“Good morning, Edgar,” she greeted warmly.He gave a small nod. “Good morning, Ma’am Charlene.”“So early in the morning and you already look grumpy,” she teased, hoping to make him smile.But Edgar remained serious.The awkward silence lingered until Kerill called him. Edgar excused himself and walked away, leaving
