Social Contract Rousseau

It honestly feels like I've been transported back to the Middle Ages. For the benefit of my pack, I just swore an oath to a man I've never met. The pack where I'm supposed to be the leader. The pack I'm not sure how to lead. I should learn fast, though. Because here he is, out of the blue, almost catching me by surprise. His green eyes, which shine like polished emeralds, make me stop in my tracks. His sharp jaw and short beard give him a dangerous look. His words of superiority, which were as smooth as velvet, hurt me deeply. So, this is my very hot husband who doesn't care about anything. I'm not even close to ready for this marriage. But he just walks into my space, all lean muscle and stalking grace. I have to use everything I have to get myself and the situation under control. What the heck did I sign up for?

Paano kung matapos ang isang masakit na pangyayari sa buhay mo ay alukin ka ng isang bilyonaryo na maging “contract mommy”? “You can return the favor by being a contract mother to my daughter,” ani ng gwapong bilyonaryo. “H-Huh?” gulantang na tugon ni Vivienne. Batid niyang hindi siya makatanggi dahil ito ang nagligtas ng kanyang buhay. “I’ll pay you 2.5 million per month, but first… divorce your husband,” aniya. Alam ni Vivienne na wala siyang kahit piso kapag iniwan ang asawa, at ni ang sariling anak ay ayaw sa kanya. “S-Sige! Bigyan mo ‘ko ng isang linggo…” sagot niya, at ngumiti ang bilyonaryo. “One week… That’s a deal,” sagot nito, tiyak na wala na siyang takas.

Desperada at wala nang ibang mapagpipilian, pumayag si Hiraya Lyn—isang matatag at determinadong dalaga—na pumasok sa isang contract marriage kasama si Nexus Watson, isang malamig at misteryosong bilyonaryo. Hindi simple ang naging dahilan ni Hiraya sa pagsang-ayon niya—ang kanyang nakababatang kapatid ay may malubhang sakit na cancer, at ang perang iniaalok ni Nexus ang tanging pag-asa nilang makapag pagamot ito. Si Nexus, na kilala sa kanyang pagiging walang-awang negosyante, ay may sarili ring dahilan. Ang kanyang pinakamamahal na lola—ang tanging taong minahal niya ng buong-buo—ay tumatanda na at may hiling na makita siyang ikinasal bago ito pumanaw. Upang tuparin ang kahilingan nito—at panatilihing ligtas ang kanyang puso—nag-alok siya ng isang kasunduan. Isang taon lamang ang itatagal ng kanilang kasal, walang sabit, walang damdamin na masasangkot. Habang binabagtas nina Hiraya at Nexus ang kanilang huwad na relasyon, at habang namumuhay sa iisang bubong ay unti-unting nagiging totoo ang nararamdaman nila. Mula sa isang malamig at pekeng kasunduan, unti-unting umusbong ang isang damdaming hindi nila inaasahan—pag-ibig. Pero sa gitna ng mga lihim, pagpapanggap, at sakit, kakayanin ba ng relasyong sinimulan sa kasinungalingan ang paglabas katotohanan?
