However, there's a catch. Ali needs to pretend to be Benedict's girlfriend to make his soon-to-be ex-wife jealous. Their goal is to make the wife realize that leaving Benedict was a wrong decision.

Subalit nang makilala ni Aliyah ang anak ni Benedict na si Blake Christopher Amadeo ay tila ba nagbago ang ihip ng hangin. Isang pabor ang nagpasiklab sa kakaibang koneksyon sa pagitan ni Blake at Aliyah. They had this relationship driven by intimacy and physical touch na lingid sa kaalaman ng ama ni Blake. They both indulged in the thrill of being caught.

These sudden turns of events will result in unexpected outcomes and reveal painful truths that could ruin what's between Blake and Aliyah. Kaya ba nilang pangatawanan ang kanilang relasyon? Can Aliyah handle being the rich man's girlfriend?

ZENG'S STORY REVIEW

TITLE

The title is very direct to the point and will easily attract the correct audience. It's another version about a billionaire story but atleast this one made an effort to sound different.

BOOK COVER

The book cover is minimalist but good naman. After reading the story description and looking at the cover it gives me the vibes na yung female lead has elegance and grace kahit na everything is just a contract deal.

STORY DESCRIPTION

The story description's content is generic and formula ng halos lahat ng billionaire story but I ain't complaining because this one is well-written. Gusto ko din paano ni author elevate yung plot by involving the father-son-female lead. Life is already hard pero gusto talaga ng ni author pahirapan yung buhay ng kanyang characters.

PROLOGUE

For this chapter both Aliyah and Ben are likable characters. It's refreshing to see a young woman who is both strong and graceful. I like how Ben is a gentleman but hindi ko ma-figure out if he really loves his wife or loves his pride more? Sana may toyo lang talaga siya kasi just like Aliyah noticed pwede naman nila daan yun sa maayos na pag-uusap.

Will this be a love triangle or just a relationship with Aliyah and Blake? Either way it's both interesting concept.

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE

Wala akong maisip na masabi na hindi ko nagustuhan. If umay ka na sa mga billionaire stories then hindi mo'to ma appreciate but I still suggest give this a try.

WHAT I LIKE

Naghahanap ka ba ng strong female character? Yung hindi basta-basta nagpapa-api and at the same time hindi din naman basagulero? Gusto mo bang character na maganda at witty? Then ito na si Aliyah. Her character is easily likable.

Nagkaroon akong curiosity about sa relationship ni Ben with his wife. Sana they really love each other para. If nagkataon man widow si Ben I will stan him and Aliyah but in this situation no. Masasayang lang yun magandang build up na character ni Ben kung the end game would be Aliyah and him. Mawawala yung pagiging refined niya. So sana isa sa mga makita natin din sa story is not only the progression of Blake and Aliyah's relationship but also the healing of Ben and wife's relationship.

Good romantic tension with Aliyah and Blake.

Good writing style then easy to read and follow through.

OVERALL FEEDBACK

Yung first story review natin is very strong! Gusto ko 'to kahit overused at cliche na yung billionaire plot, nabuhat ito ng malinis na writing style tsaka ng mga characters.

May smut po ba? Oo mga lagpas Chapter 15 pa siya kaya mabubuild up yung relationship ng characters making it more enjoyable. Pag hindi kayo makapaghintay edi talon na agad sa chapter na may jugjugan. Mag line comment na lang ako ano yun mga chapter na may smut once nalaman ko. Mayroon din palang tag yung author ng BDSM.

Unahan ko na po kayo, it has been confirmed by the author Ali and Ben is not the end game. So hindi nyo na kailangan ma-stress sa huge age gap.

ZENG'S CONCLUSION

This is best para sa mga readers na naghahanap at gusto pa ng more billionaire story. Sa super dami na kasing option ang hirap makahanap ng new plot twist sa billionaire story pero yung nagbubuhat talaga dito yung characters kaya kikiligin at kikiligin ka din kahit may mga scenes na paulit ulit mo makita sa ibang story.
