The Beast I Was Bound To

If someone told Alina Santillan a month ago na siya ang pipirma ng marriage contract kasama ang CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuan niya, baka tinawanan niya lang sila.

Unfortunately, nobody warned her.

One moment, sinusubukan niya lang i-comfort ang isang umiiyak at nawawalang batang babae.

The next, nakaupo na siya sa tapat ng pinakaintimidating na lalaking nakilala niya, listening to an offer na parang imposibleng paniwalaan.

Become his wife. Temporarily.

Live under the same roof.

Alagaan ang batang nasa ilalim ng guardianship nito.

Follow the rules.

And leave once the contract ends.

Simple, right?

That's what she thought too.

But the deeper she steps into a world na hindi naman talaga para sa kaniya, mas natutuklasan niya ang isang katotohanan-some agreements are easier to sign than to survive.

And with a child who refuses to let go of her hand, with a man whose silence says more than his words ever could...

Alina is starting to realize-this isn't just a contract.

This is the beast she was bound to.
