Chapter 2

"I thought about letting you off the hook for the sake of girl code, but I never expected you to come to me. How disgusting!"

I forced myself to stay calm and was just about to refute.

Queenie immediately took out her phone and dialed Cedric's number. As soon as she got through, she put him on speaker.

The next second, Cedric's voice came from the other end of the line. "Babe, aren't you browsing the jewelry right now? Why are you calling me?"

Queenie said smugly, "Cedric, someone's claiming to be your legal wife, and she's going to take me to court. I'm so scared!"

After the call was hung up, Queenie walked to my side and said with a 'kind' face, "Nicole, considering our past relationship, I'll generously let you off the hook as long as you kneel and beg me. Otherwise, I'll see how my hubby deals with you when he comes over!"

It was the most outrageous request I had ever heard. I burst into laughter and shook my head, asking, "Who do you think you are?"

A trace of hatred flashed in Queenie's eyes before she walked aggrievedly toward the door and grabbed Cedric's sleeve, saying, "Cedric, she would've bullied me to death if you had come any later!"

Upon hearing that Queenie had been bullied, Cedric immediately asked in a deep voice, "Who dares to bully you? Do they have a death wish?"

A hint of smugness glinted in Queenie's eyes as she dragged Cedric to my side. "It was her!"

Cedric looked up, and a flicker of panic crossed his eyes the moment he saw me. He quickly forced himself to regain his composure. Shielding Queenie behind him, he demanded bluntly, "Nicole, how could you be so shameless, daring to impersonate my legal wife in front of everyone? Don't you know I only love Queenie?"

A hint of mockery flashed in my eyes. "Sorry, this is the first time I'm hearing about this!"

Seeing this, the surrounding henchmen immediately rushed to Queenie's aid.

"Mr. Shelby, you're finally here! This wretch not only claims to be your legal wife, but she also said she'll take Queenie to court!"

"That's right! She not only insulted us, but she also tried to lay a hand on Queenie!"

They twisted the truth, portraying Queenie as a wronged and innocent lady.

Cedric walked right up to me and slapped me hard across the face. "Who do you think you are? How dare you lay a hand on Queenie!"

I covered my face, staring at him in disbelief.

Over the past few years, he was always the first to give in and feign gentleness and thoughtfulness even when we argued, which had made me overlook his flaws.

"Cedric, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

A flicker of guilt flashed in Cedric's eyes, but only for a moment. He solemnly swore to Queenie, "Babe, don't worry. How could I be with such a sl*t? You're my only wife."

Seeing Cedric groveling like a dog, when he used to act so gentlemanly to me, disgusted me.

He quickly walked over to me, grabbed my clothes, and forced me to the ground. "Didn't you hear what my wife said? She told you to kneel and beg, so hurry up and do it!"

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.
