MY RICH EX-BOYFRIEND FORCED ME TO MARRY A STARVING BEGGAR IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA TO HUMBLE ME. HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS GREATEST SUCCESS. BUT WHEN WE WERE AT THE ALTAR, WHAT THE MAN IN THE SHIRT DID WAS CONTINUE TO CRUSH THE BILLIONAIRE’S EMPIRE.
The Cruel Agreement
I’m Clara. It’s been a year since my ex-boyfriend Julian destroyed our family. Julian was an arrogant billionaire and CEO of a large investment firm. Because I broke up with him after I caught him with another woman, he retaliated. He used his money and influence to bring down my father’s small business, causing him to have a heart attack and eventually die.
We are deep in debt, and my mother is now dying in the hospital and needs five million pesos for a heart transplant.
In desperation, I knelt before Julian to beg for help. But instead of showing mercy, he greeted me with a devilish smile.
“I’ll give you five million for your mother, Clara,” Julian offered with a smile as he drank his wine. “But on one condition. You will marry a man I choose for you tomorrow. A beggar I picked up on the street. And we will do it in a big church, with all the media and our billionaire friends invited. I want the whole world to see how pathetic you are and how low a Clara Valderama has stooped!”
For the sake of my mother’s life, I closed my eyes and agreed. I sold my soul and dignity to a monster.
