Farewell To My Contracted Life

I was a mermaid from the deep sea. Out of curiosity and playfulness, I was caught by a fisherman and endured unbearable torment. Just when I was on the brink of death, Trevon Chapman happened to pass by and saved me. So, I gave up my identity as a mermaid princess, left the ocean behind, and followed him into the human world. For five years after our marriage, Trevon granted my every wish and showered me with affection. I truly believed I had found a safe harbor I could depend on for the rest of my life—until fate struck with its cruelest blow. Trevon's childhood sweetheart had fallen gravely ill, and only a mermaid’s tail could save her. I begged him desperately, but he responded with chilling indifference. "You're only losing your legs. Corinne is losing her life. Are you really that heartless? You're just going to watch her die?" "Besides, you can’t return to the sea anymore. That tail means nothing to you now. From now on, I’ll be your legs." After the surgery, I sat in a wheelchair, running my hand over the empty fabric where my legs should have been, and calmly demanded a divorce. Trevon pulled Corinne into his arms, sneering. "You're neither human nor fish now—a monster. Without me, the only road left for you is death." Yet in the end, when I transformed back into a mermaid and leapt into the sea, his cries and desperate sobs echoed across the waves.

Claire, the daughter of a prostitute, feels low self-esteem and faces numerous challenges in her life with nothing to offer. They are afraid to approach each other, yet their hearts yearn to be together. 'I never chose to love her; my heart did, and I was powerless against it.' 'Three years, thirty years, three hundred years... as long as your heart still loves me, I will still be here waiting for you.'

And as grief and guilt give way to unexpected connection, George must face an impossible question: Can he open his heart to the woman sent to replace the one he still loves? And when the truth behind Emily’s disappearance comes to light… will it destroy them both?

Si Diana ay lumaki sa hirap, ngunit lalong naging mabigat ang buhay nang magkasakit nang malubha ang kanyang kapatid na si Lyka. Sa desperasyon, lumapit siya sa nobyo niya para humingi ng tulong, ngunit imbes na damayan siya, inakusahan siya nitong pabigat at inamin na may iba na ito. Durog ang puso, tumakbo siya palayo at sa gitna ng kanyang pag-iyak, aksidente siyang nabangga ng isang matangkad at gwapong lalaki—si Adrian, ang misteryosong CEO ng kompanyang pinagtatrabahuhan niya. Narinig pala ni Adrian ang buong usapan, at sa isang hindi inaasahang alok ay sinabi niyang, “Kailangan ko ng kontratang asawa, at kailangan mo ng pera. Pwede tayong magtulungan.” Sa kawalan ng ibang mapagpipilian, pumayag si Diana. Isang simpleng kasunduan lamang daw: walang emosyon, walang komplikasyon—pawang negosyo lang. Ngunit habang lumilipas ang mga araw, napapansin nilang hindi ganoon kadaling iwasan ang damdamin. Ang mga halik na dapat ay peke, tila tunay. Ang mga haplos na dapat ay scripted, nagiging totoo. Unti-unti, naguguluhan sila sa kung ano ang totoo at ano ang bahagi lang ng kontrata. At nang magsimulang pumasok ang pamilya ni Adrian sa eksena, naramdaman ni Diana na baka hindi talaga siya nababagay sa mundo nito. Kaya iminungkahi niyang lumayo na lang. Pero bakit gano’n na lang ang sakit sa dibdib ni Adrian? Kung peke ang lahat, bakit parang ayaw na niyang lumayo na lang.

Married to use and married to be used. Two unacquainted persons who were joint by a purposive contract have almost the same motive. No other than the ultimate objective, the revenge. Yet when the weak starts to soften, that's when the other starts to soften as well. This reflects how a married couple from an agreement will find love, peace and understanding with each other in this crafty unpredictable world.

Three years ago, my mother and I got into a car accident. My father immediately got himself a new wife. His illegitimate daughter, Kaitlyn Lee, was only two years younger than me. Kaitlyn and I became the butts of the joke of the whole country from fighting over my mother’s inheritance. Aaron White ignored his family members’ objections and married me. He drove Kaitlyn away and saved Stance Corporation. I thought Aaron loved me very much until I accidentally overheard his conversation with Kaitlyn. “When are you divorcing her? I’m pregnant.” “I’ll divorce her when she agrees to transfer all her shares to me. Then I’ll marry you.” “I really wish she had died like her mother.” “If we managed to plot her demise the first time, we could do it again.” I almost fainted from hearing the truth. I clamped my hand over my mouth as tears streamed down my cheeks.

I've been married to Derek Gunther for many years. Every anniversary, he tells me the airline scheduled him for a flight, then sends an expensive pair of earrings to smooth things over. But on our ninth anniversary, I accidentally overhear him joking with his friends. "Derek, you spend every anniversary with Ivy—and Sienna still hasn't caught on?" "No wonder she can't get pregnant. After all, you give all to Ivy." Derek exhales a stream of smoke and says, "Ivy gave up everything to be with me. I owe her a real home. As for Sienna, I stopped loving her after she miscarried. When the time's right, I'll file for divorce. It's unfair, sure—but I'll make it up to her with money." What Derek doesn't know is that he won't get that chance. It's on our anniversary that I'm diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. Since he stopped loving me long ago, I'm ready to walk away on my own terms. Derek, from now on, we're done.
