LUNA POV "Come on, you can make it." I gave myself a pep talk in front of the mirror. Today was make-or-break— I had to deliver a presentation to a high-profile client. Nail this partnership, and our company would see profits soar; more importantly, I’d earn enough for my younger sister’s college tuition. I wasn’t the only one on edge. Our small marketing firm was still finding its feet, and landing the Callaghan contract would put us on the map, opening doors we’d only dreamed of. The stakes were high: if Cade Callaghan shot down our pitch, we’d lose more than just a big deal—we’d risk the future of the whole team. You’ve got this, Luna. Just push through. I straightened my blazer one last time in the full-length mirror before heading out. I stepped out feeling confident, handbag tucked securely under my arm. To avoid being worn out by the packed subway, I o

chap 2

LUNA POV "Luna, meet Cade Callaghan—the owner of Callaghan Empire." Gracie’s voice pulled me out of my daze, and my jaw dropped. "Luna!" she called again, snapping me back to reality. "Oh, yes—Mr. Callaghan. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you," I said, forcing myself back into professional mode. I stepped forward and extended my hand for a handshake. He stared at it for a moment before a slight smile crossed his lips and he took it. I was about to pull away when he held on, bringing my hand to his lips and pressing a kiss to my knuckles. The gesture sent a jolt through me—part irritation, part unease, as if his touch carried an unspoken warning. "Nice to meet you, Miss Reyes," he said smoothly. I yanked my hand back as if burned. "Oh, Mr. Callaghan!" Our boss rushed in and pulled him into a warm hug. "Look at her—Operation Get a Husband is officially underway," Gr

chap.3

CADE POV I stood by the window, waiting for her to reach my office. I knew exactly why she’d come all this way. I won’t deny that their presentation was solid. I turned it down partly because of what she’d done earlier, and partly because I felt it was missing something—something that would make it stand out. There was a knock on the door. I gave the command, and it opened. She walked in. She was still dressed in her simple shirt and trousers, which only emphasized her slim figure. Her blonde curls were soft and fluffy, and her turquoise eyes seemed to sparkle—she looked like a deer, delicate and striking. She’s beautiful. I couldn’t deny it. Even with barely any makeup, she was stunning. I found myself staring, thinking how much more breathtaking she’d be with a little more effort. "Have a seat, Miss Reyes," I said softly. She sat down, and I remained standi

chap.4

LUNA POV I sat down, my stomach twisting with unease. I had no idea what he wanted to say, but after hearing his conversation with his mom, I knew he claimed to love someone and wanted to marry her. It was a shock—everyone said he was a notorious womanizer. On my way up to his office, I’d even passed a beautiful brunette, and I was sure she’d come to see him. "What do you want to talk about, sir?" I asked. "About giving you that second chance you asked for," he said. "Really? You’re willing to give us another shot?" I asked, my heart lifting. "Yes, I am," he replied. "But tell me something—are you single?" "What?" I blinked, confused. "Are you single?" he asked again. "Why do you ask that?" "Because I need you to help me with something, and in exchange, I’ll give your company the contract," he said. "And what would that

chap.5

LUNA POV "What! You couldn’t get it? But you said you’d do your best!" Rose said, pacing around her office. "I did—I even went to his company, but he still wouldn’t give us a chance," I said, my mind flashing back to the degrading deal he’d offered. "This can’t be! He was my only hope," she said, her voice cracking with desperation. "He’s not the only wealthy company out there. Can’t we find another one—someone who’ll appreciate our work?" I asked. "No one wants a small, upcoming agency. He was the only one who even gave us the time of day. We need this contract, or we’ll go bankrupt," she said. "What? But how?" I asked, stunned. "I borrowed a lot of money, and I don’t know how to pay it back. This contract was my only way out," she said. "And now that we don’t have it—how are you going to pay what you owe?" I asked.

chapter 6

LUNA's POV "Look, Mr. Callaghan, I can’t. I can’t pretend to be your wife. I’m someone who doesn’t believe in lies, and I doubt I’ll be able to keep up the pretense," I told him, turning to leave. "What will you do about your eviction? Where will you get the money?" he asked. "I’ll find a way—an honest way," I replied. Just then, Sally, my neighbor, called my name frantically. "It’s a good thing you’re here! Your mom... your mom..." she gasped, breathless. "What happened to my mom?" I asked, my heart pounding. "She collapsed right outside your house," Sally said. Hearing that, I ran off, straight to my house. I got there to see my mom on the floor, surrounded by a crowd of people. "Mom!" I yelled, running to her and pulling her unconscious body into my arms. "Mom, I’m here! Please open your eyes!" I begged, tears streaming down my face. "Excuse me," a familiar masculine voice said. I

kabanata 7

LUNA's POV I can’t believe this! I’m being kissed by a total stranger, I thought, trying to pull away. But he pulled me back and deepened the kiss. I tried to think of something—anything—to distract me, to stop myself from responding. But I couldn’t. And just when I was about to give in, he pulled away. I tried to move out of his arms, but he held me back. "Don’t move, not yet. There’s a reporter taking pictures of us," he said. It was only then that I realized—his kiss was all just for show. "He’s gone now," he said, and finally let me go. I tried to compose myself before looking at him again. "You don’t have the right to kiss me," I said. "I had to. My reputation was at stake," he replied. "Wow, your reputation, right?" I said sarcastically.

kabanata 8

LUNA's POV While my dad stayed to watch over Mom, I left the hospital and went home to get dressed. If it were up to me, I would have ended everything right then and there. But I couldn’t. First, because I owed him. And second, because I was terrified of what he might do to make me pay for breaking our deal. I changed and was ready when the doorbell rang. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, only to find Brad standing there. "What are you doing here, Brad?" I asked gently. "I came back for you, my love. I’m back to get you," he said, and without warning, pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I was so shocked to see him again that I stood frozen like a statue. It had been a year—a whole year since he left me for his rich boss’s daughter.

kabanata 9

LUNA's POV "Legalize those documents. I want to keep them with me, so I can always remind Luna here that she’s in this with me," he said to his lawyer. "Yes, sir. I’ll do it right away. I wish you a quick recovery," the lawyer said, and left the room. I stayed quiet for a long time. My mind was racing with thoughts. What will happen during this deal? And what will happen after it ends? I wondered. "Stop thinking about that Brad. It’s for your own good," he said. "I’ve told you already—I have nothing going on with Brad!" I yelled at him. "And as I’ve said, I don’t believe you. Brad clearly played an important role in your life, and I hate the thought of him showing up later, claiming you’re his, after I’ve made you mine." "First of all, Mr. Callaghan, I am not yours. And I don’t belong to Brad either. Besides, you stat
