John Locke: Social Contract Theory

Being a writer is not easy, but being a ghost writer who wanted to pursue writing but doesn’t want her name to get involved to any issues in order to have a peaceful life is so hard. While Bavina is focusing on being a ghost writer whom have tons of supporters and readers, she’s having a hard time to hide it when Paul Hemingway, whom is a singer and a composer knew about her big secret. It all started when Bavina saw him in the middle of the rain, crying and not on the right mind. Paul asked her to be in a fake relationship with him and will pay her a half million, and after Bavina met Paul’s Dad, she’s determined to help him to stop the marriage of Paul and Tacia, whom was his ex. But what if because of the contract fake relationship, one of them will want to be in a real relationship? And what if the moment they created a new human being, they both turned their back on each other because one of them can’t accept it? Are they going to be with each other or one of them will get married to one another and deny the child? Unforbidden is unforbidden. Fake is fake.

Three years ago, on the day I married Luca Moretti, he personally handed me a marriage contract with a fixed term of three years. His tone was casual, indifferent, as if he were discussing an ordinary business deal. "This marriage exists solely to serve the alliance of interests between the Morettis and the Vitales. Sign this agreement. After three years, the marriage will automatically dissolve. When that time comes, you can go and pursue your true love." I barely hesitated before signing. Ten years earlier, at an inter-family business gala, when I was ten and Luca was sixteen, I had already fallen hopelessly in love with him. What looked like a strategic alliance was, in truth, the outcome of my decade-long unrequited love. During the three years of our marriage, Luca was attentive and gentle toward me. Over time, I began to believe I was loved. I sank into that illusion, unable to pull myself out, forgetting entirely about the agreement. That illusion was shattered completely on the night of our third wedding anniversary. That evening, Luca arrived with Elena, who had just returned to New York, and attended what was supposed to be our third anniversary celebration together. She stood beside him with ease and composure, smoothly engaging with business partners. People praised her, saying she looked more like the Donna of the Moretti family. In that moment, even though Luca never mentioned the agreement again, I understood clearly that it was time for me to step aside. After breaking free from his control, crossing an ocean to rebuild myself, and becoming a brilliant leader in my industry, I would no longer wait for his love.

Nang mamatay ang ama ni Maureen, halos gumuho ang mundo niya. Naiwan siyang mag-isa, at kasabay nito ay ang milyong-milyong utang na hindi kayang bayaran ng kanilang bahay o negosyo. Ang madrasta niyang ubod ng sama, na tila kamag-anak ni Lucifer, ay sinisi siya sa lahat ng kamalasan. Pinagbantaan pa siya nito na kung hindi makakapangasawa ng mayaman ay papalayasin siya nito, na ikinatakot niya, dahil wala na siyang ibang matatakbuhan. Parang pinagsakluban siya ng langit ng matanggal pa siya sa trabaho. Pero biglang nagbago ang lahat nang ipatawag siya ng boss niyang ubod ng lamig. Inalok siya ng kasal. “Marry me, I'll pay your debt and I'll introduce you to my family to be able to receive my heritage from them. Just contract marriage, no feelings involved, let's call it business.” Dalawa lang ang pagpipilian ni Maureen: maging palaboy o tanggapin ang alok. “Deal,” sagot niya.
