Chapter 3

Camden's phone suddenly began buzzing as we reached the door.

His expression darkened after reading the message. "Something's happened to Kirsty. I'll take you out some other day."

I grabbed his arm as he was about to leave. "If you walk out today, Camden, don't bother coming back."

Camden effortlessly pulled away from my grip. He frowned slightly, and his tone was laced with blame. "I love you, Ellie, but you can't be this unreasonable. This is an emergency. Once I've calmed Kirsty down, we can go get the ring exchanged.

"I promise, Ellie. Once the company is out of the woods, I'll throw a wedding to make it up to you. I'll give you anything you want."

I could see that he had made his resolve. So, I stopped holding him back. "As long as you've made up your mind. But, Camden, August 26—"

"Don't show up on August 26 and kick up a fuss, okay?"

Camden cut me off and hurried away without bothering to hear the rest of what I had to say.

I was getting married on August 26, too.

Camden had barely walked out the door when Kirsty casually sauntered down the stairs.

She looked me over as if she were evaluating a piece of merchandise.

"So, you're the tramp who's been clinging onto Camden. Didn't you get the warning I sent you a few days ago? Why are you still hanging around him?"

Kirsty sneered disdainfully. "Someone this poor thinks she can compete with me for a man? Consider this your final warning. Don't force my hand."

I raised an eyebrow. "If we're being honest, aren't you the tramp? I've never met a side piece that sticks her nose into someone else's affairs and acts all high and mighty about it."

"Eloise!" Kirsty stomped her foot in anger. "So what? When I want a man, I get him. What makes you think you even stand a chance against me, bitch?"

That was where she was wrong.

Only an idiot would fight over a scumbag like Camden.

If I'd seen him for who he truly was sooner, I could've saved myself the heartbreak.

It seemed that insulting me was not enough to calm her rage. With a wave of her hand, she bought out the entire store's collection of wedding gowns.

She shot me a smug look. "Try fighting back, bitch! I can buy more than just the wedding dresses. Camden is mine!"

Once she was done, she stomped off in her stilettos.

The owner, Maple Hearst, stared after Kirsty in shock. "Holy crap, we reached the year's sales quota just like that."

I nodded. "No reason to say no to free money."

Kirsty was certainly an extravagant spender. Unfortunately for her, this bridal boutique belonged to a friend of mine.

We were ultimately the ones profiting from the interaction.

Soon, August 26 arrived. My social media feed was flooded with news of Camden's wedding.

Annoyed, I deleted my Instagram account altogether.

I got into the bridal car. After roughly 20 minutes on the road, we ran into traffic just before reaching the church.

"Hey, man. My buddy's getting married today. Can you let us through?"

The voice sounded oddly familiar, prompting me to roll down the window. I was met with a face that looked like he'd just seen a ghost.

"What's going on, Harold? Are they not letting us through?" Camden walked over, dressed in a tuxedo.

Harold stammered anxiously, "That's… That's not it."

Camden frowned impatiently. "Then, what is it?"

"The bride inside… The bride is… is… is Eloise."

Bougth love  Novel Cover
8.2
The story begins among the vine rows of the San Lorenzo Estate in the Guadalupe Valley. To Hanna Román, this land isn't about money; it's the living memory of her father, the man who taught her that every grape holds the secret of time. However, since his death, Hanna's world has been falling apart. Her mother, Doña Elena-a woman whose entire identity is tied to her last name and her jewelry box-has squandered the family fortune in a desperate attempt to keep up appearances among Mexico's elite. Debt is closing in, and the banks are threatening to seize the hacienda. This is when Elena plays her final card: her daughter. Hanna is young, beautiful, and possesses a purity that stands in stark contrast to the decay of high society, making her the family's most valuable asset. Elena reaches out to the Montes family, a lineage of financial sharks, and proposes a deal that feels like it belongs in another century: a marriage alliance in exchange for wiping out the Román family's debts. The Clash of Two Worlds Sergio Montes doesn't believe in fate, only in statistics. As the CEO of Montes Holdings, his life is a whirlwind of private jets and board meetings in Mexico City skyscrapers. He is strikingly handsome but glacially cold. He accepts the deal not for love or even desire, but out of strategic necessity: his grandfather, the patriarch of the empire, has given him an ultimatum to inherit the presidency of the company-he must "settle down" and project a solid family image. Their first meeting at a luxury restaurant in Mexico City is a total train wreck. Hanna arrives with the dust of the hacienda still in her soul and her pride wounded; Sergio arrives with a legal contract in hand. He looks at her as just another acquisition-a beautiful but silent asset. She looks at her as the executioner of her freedom. The Paper Pact The contract is signed with clear clauses: A two-year public marriage. Living together in Sergio's penthouse in Mexico City. Hanna receives the funds to modernize San Lorenzo but cannot return to live there until the contract expires. Any real emotional involvement is strictly forbidden. The beginning of their life together is a cold war. Hanna feels suffocated by the city and Sergio's controlling nature. He, in turn, is caught off guard by her resistance. Hanna isn't the "trophy wife" he expected; she secretly studies agronomy, reads up on commercial law, and questions his every move. Cracks in the Armor The turning point comes when Sergio is forced to visit the San Lorenzo Estate for an audit. Away from his concrete jungle, he sees a different Hanna: passionate, a leader, and deeply connected to the land. For the first time, the arrogant CEO feels a crack in his armor. The physical attraction that was always humming beneath the surface like an electric current finally explodes during a storm at the hacienda, where the contract stops being about paper and starts being about skin. However, Hanna's mother, Elena, isn't done with her schemes. Seeing Sergio start to soften, she fears losing her grip on the money and begins leaking information to the press to sabotage the relationship-leading Hanna to believe that Sergio is planning to sell the hacienda behind her back to build a hotel complex. Climax and Redemption The perceived betrayal breaks Hanna. She flees the city and retreats to the vineyards, ready to lose everything rather than stay with a man who thinks everything has a price. Sergio, faced for the first time with something he can't buy with a check, has to choose between his empire and the woman who taught him how to feel. The end of the story isn't just about saving the San Lorenzo Estate; it's about the transformation of them both. Sergio has to swallow his pride to ask for forgiveness, and Hanna has to learn that love-even when it starts as a transaction-can be the only absolute truth in a world of appearances.
