Marriage

We had been married for three years, yet my husband, Richard Thornton, who suffered from touch deprivation syndrome, still refused to consummate our marriage. Every time his condition flared up, he would only press his forehead tightly against the curve of my neck. I assumed he was saving himself for his first love, the woman who had left years ago. Then, I overheard him talking to his friends. "Stop teasing her next time. It makes her tense up every time." "Got it, Richard. But if you care about Valeria so much, why won't you touch her? It's been three years. Aren't you worried she'll leave you for someone else?" Richard shook his head. "You don't understand. The longer we're together, the harder it is to control myself around her. She's so delicate. I'm terrified I'll hurt her. As long as she's mine, I wouldn't care even if she slept with someone else first." His friends burst out laughing. "Richard, you're all talk. If you could really handle her being with another man, you wouldn't keep running to the hospital. You think we don't know what you're up to?" The next day, I found Richard's medical records. Visit after visit, he kept asking the same question, "How can I be gentler in bed? I don't want to hurt the woman I love."

Si Ariana Wayne, ang nag-iisang tagapagmana ng makapangyarihang Wayne Group, ay nagpasyang mamuhay nang simple at magpanggap na mahirap sa loob ng tatlong taon para sa lalaking kanyang minamahal na si Marcus Valdez. Ngunit sa gabi ng kanilang anibersaryo, laking gulat niya nang hiwalayan siya nito at itaboy na parang basura para lamang sa isang mayamang socialite na makakatulong umano sa negosyo nito. Dahil sa matinding galit at sakit, nagpasyang magbalik si Ariana sa kanyang tunay na marangyang buhay at sa isang hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay nakatagpo niya ang mailap at cold-hearted billionaire na si Lucas Reyes. Sa gitna ng kalasingan at pagnanais na maghiganti, isang mapangahas na alok ang ibinigay ni Ariana kay Lucas—isang biglaang kasal o "flash marriage" para makuha ng lalaki ang chairmanship ng kanilang kumpanya habang gagamitin naman ni Ariana ang kapangyarihan nito para pabagsakin ang dati niyang kasintahan. Tatanggapin kaya ni Ariana ang panganib ng pagiging asawa ng isang lalaking tila walang puso kapalit ng kanyang matamis na paghihiganti? O mahuhulog siya sa sarili niyang patibong kapag ang "contract marriage" nila ay unti-unti nang nagiging totoo at mapang-angkin?
