Chapter 4

Joseph did not come home all night.

He stayed at the hospital to keep Monica company.

Early the next morning, I received a call from Marcy.

She cried miserably over the phone.

“You have to save me, Natalie!

“That wretched girl actually sued me! And it was the Adams Inc. legal department that told me. They said they’re sending me to prison!

“But they also said that if I confessed who was behind it, they wouldn’t press charges!

“I didn’t say a single word about you. Please, you have to save me!

“And the compensation for my son’s wedding? Could you raise it a bit more?”

I assured her that nothing would happen to her.

Joseph’s real target had never been her.

Sure enough, just as I hung up, Joseph called.

“Come to the hospital and apologize to Monica. I’ve already contacted the reporters.

“If you put on the right show, everything can still be negotiated.”

“And if I don’t go?” I asked calmly.

There was a brief silence on the line.

“Paying someone to incite serious bodily harm…You know what the company’s legal department is capable of.

“A few years in prison wouldn’t be a problem.”

I agreed to go to the hospital.

On the way there, articles were already being pushed to my phone.

[Turning the World Upside Down: The Legal Wife Teaches the Mistress a Lesson.]

[Adams Inc. CEO Enjoys the Best of Both Worlds—Wife and Mistress Reach a Historic Reconciliation.]

[Wife Reopens Taco Stand, But Due to Suspected Financial Blockade, Seeks to Beg For Forgiveness.]

I looked away.

More than a dozen media outlets were squatting outside Monica’s hospital room.

The moment I appeared, camera flashes nearly blinded me.

“Mrs. Adams, we heard you’re here to apologize to Mr. Adams’s secretary?”

“Don’t you feel this is beneath you, acting as the wife?”

“Are you putting up with Mr. Adams’s infidelity just for the money?”

I smiled calmly. “Apologize? Then make sure you get a good shot. I move fast—if the photos come out blurry, I won’t make tomorrow’s front page.”

The reporters were held back by bodyguards on both sides as I walked into the hospital room.

Joseph was peeling an apple for Monica.

Monica smiled sweetly.

“I just don’t have much of an appetite, Natalie. Joseph is only peeling an apple for me—don’t misunderstand.”

I raised an eyebrow.

“You’ve already slept with him and addressed him by his name, yet you’re still pretending to be innocent?

I suppose the pig manure back in your village was good—it really helped you grow into something that knows how to act.”

“Joseph and I are completely innocent. How can you say such things about me?” Monica clenched her teeth, her cheeks flushed.

Joseph impatiently tossed the fruit knife aside.

“Don’t forget why you’re here, Natalie,” he threatened.

At his signal, Harry handed me a cup of tea.

Steam still rose from the surface.

This kind of cup would scald your hand just holding it.

“As long as you apologize, I guarantee Monica won’t pursue the matter of you inciting violence.”

I clicked my tongue.

“But I didn’t just incite violence,” I said lightly.

“I also spread the news that she climbed into your bed and became your mistress. You’ve already paid for so many front-page headlines, so why not have them polish Monica’s image a little?

After all, doesn’t she insist she’s not a mistress?”

Monica’s eyes reddened, her expression stubborn.

“I remember the kindness you showed when you sponsored my education; that’s why you’re like an older sister to me. But you can’t insult my dignity like this.

“If it weren’t for Joseph speaking up for you, I wouldn’t forgive you, no matter what!”

The scalding tea and a slap landed on Monica’s face at the same time, leaving nothing but humiliation on the carefully crafted mask of innocence.

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.
