The Rise Of The English

Lylia, who grew up in the province, was orphaned at a young age and left to care for her seriously ill sibling. The hardships of life forced her to mature quickly and become resourceful to support her sister and cover their daily expenses. This led her to open a small eatery near the local cockfighting arena. However, after discovering that Raze, their district captain, was the creditor of her deceased parents, she was forced to accept his deal, to marry him as payment for half of the debt. If she refused, the captain would demolish their house and eatery, their only source of income. Unknown to everyone, Lylia would also serve as a housemaid to pay off the remaining debt to the captain. Raze was known as a stingy and strict captain in the district of Abueña. He was uncompromising when it came to implementing and approving projects, especially regarding the use of district funds. He had been away from the area for a long time but still monitored what was happening in the district. What others didn't know was that he was secretly a billionaire who owned airlines, hotels, and resorts in the Philippines that exclusively catered to royalty.

That's where his mischievous plan was formed, to force her to marry him. Is it possible that their deal will turn into a genuine relationship, or will one of them end up heartbroken and in tears?

"Skye, please," Jaxon's voice was desperate, but I couldn't bear to look at him after what I'd learned. "Listen to me first, baby." "What is there to explain?" My words were bitter. "Why keep it hidden until now?" He didn't respond. I let out a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?" "Skye, please. My situation is difficult. Just give me a chance to explain. I have too much on my plate." I shook my head. "No, I don't need to hear your lies." "Is it that hard for you, Skye? I always listen to you." His words hit me. "Are you blaming me? Sorry, Jaxon. This setup is tiring. I waited for you, but you were not there when I needed you most. I tried to reach out, but you were too busy with things you didn't tell me. So, I was left alone like I was no one." I could see a mix of emotions in his eyes—emotions I couldn't fathom, emotions I saw for the first time since we started our relationship. "I'm sorry, Jaxon. I want to let go. I tried so hard, but I'm choosing myself this time. You stole the only friend I had!" As I opened the door, my heart broke. "Baby, please. Don't give up on me. I love you." "I can't feel it, Jax. I'm too drained. I'm sorry." I stepped outside the room. "And I hope not to see you again."
