Chapter 1 First Meet Up
- Chapter 1
- Here comes Nalzen, Villarreal. The rich and spoiled brat heiress of Villarreal Company.
- She will always get what she wanted. Partying like no tomorrow and hanging out with her friends.
- She got the looks, talent, and brain. She got it all, except for being spoiled and stubborn.
- Until one day.
- Her life changed...
- Her parents died in a car accident.
- Leaving the last will. Stating, that she can take over and manage the Villarreal Company as a married lady.
- Her Uncle Alberto will be the acting President and CEO, until the day she will get married.
- But she doesn't like the idea of her Uncle being the CEO of their company.
- Though they are blood-related, she can't give her whole trust in him.
- She needs to get and own what she deserves.
- Her boyfriend Nathan went to Germany before her parents died.
- Their company is not doing good. They need to settle it as soon as possible.
- How can she ask Nathan to marry her?
- This is not the right time to get married.
- She wants Nathan to propose, without being forced.
- She hides it all from Nathan. Not only that, but she wants to avoid disturbing him. Furthermore, she will solve her problem alone.
- Her best friend Nica suggested hiring a fake husband.
- And she knows a private and famous Club who offered it privately.
- The Bird's Eye Club is very popular in terms of renting handsome boys.
- But in Nalzen's case, it's a husband for rent. And much more expensive than you could imagine.
- But she doesn't care. She still got her precious jewelry that is worth a fortune.
- Her decision is final.
- And she is truly thankful to Nica for helping her.
- Today, she will meet the husband who costs her a fortune.
- She will be going to see soon, the husband that she rented...
- She felt nervous and excited at the same time.
- Bird's Eye Club
- Aaron Montgomery
- "What! Are you joking?" I asked him unbelievably.
- I just can't believe why he chose this kind of business. A dirty business to be exact.
- But his club is doing perfectly fine and is very famous here in the City of Manila.
- The luxurious Club which designed beautifully with a theme of Spanish designs from the 1960s.
- The design looks old but elegant with matches the handsome boys for rent of the club.
- "No, I'm not joking at all! You're taking a vacation for two months, right? It's just like you are practicing being a husband." Arthur answered desperation is written all over his face.
- Practicing my foot.
- "Seriously, Arthur. Don't you have any employees out there?"I felt like laughing out loud but seeing Arthur's worried face, I choose to keep quiet.
- "It's a peak season, All of them are fully booked."He explained.
- Fully booked? Sounds funny!
- "Huh, the peak season of a rented husband? I just can't believe this." He is giving me a headache. And my head started to ache for this friend of mine.
- "You are the only rented husband, all the boys are just for fun. You know, those old matrons. You must be thankful that this client is young and rich."
- That rings a bell. Who is this young and rich girl?
- She must have lots of money to play.
- Those young spoiled brats of the new generation.
- "Wow, so I'm lucky. But still, my answer is no. I declined, I don't have time for fun games like this."
- I walked out the door but stopped when Arthur shouted, sounding desperate.
- "I will give you my private resort in Batangas!" He shouted.
- Sounds interesting...
- I stop walking and turned around.
- Man, he is serious!
- I know that his private resort is one of the tourist attractions here in the Philippines. And he will give it to me? So this topic is getting serious.
- "This can be your gift to Andrea. You know she loves the view in there." He is tempting me to take the bait.
- And he sounds encouraging, should I give in?
- "Seriously?" I asked in disbelief.
- "Yes, I am serious. The client has paid already. And because it is a special case. The payment is worth a fortune." Arthur explained.
- "A fortune, how about...
- I pay you instead? So, no problem anymore." I suggested.
- Arthur's face became sour.
- "We already signed the contract. They will sue me. And I don't want that to happen, my reputation in this industry will be ruined."
- Arthur's face seems serious this time. I'm not as familiar with this kind of business as he said, and I don't have any intention to join.
- "Please, it's only for two months. Thereafter, you are free." He begged again.
- Arthur is my best buddy and friend. And this is the first time he asked for a favor.
- "Okay, I agree, but I will take the resort. Prepare the contract and transfer it to Andrea's name." I am a businessman.
- My fiancée, Andrea, loves his beach resort so much. There's still a benefit, being a husband for rent.
- "Thank you, bro." Arthur was happy.
- ************************
- Nalzen
- I was very shocked while looking at the Greek God beauty in front of me.
- He is very handsome! He is not fit to work in this kind of job.
- But we cannot judge people. We don't know what they are going through.
- I am spoiled and stubborn, but I respect their private life.
- Anyway, Bird's Eye Club is very famous nowadays especially with the handsome boys that they have.
- Many old matrons and single ladies are renting their boys just for you know...
- But my case is different from theirs. I need a husband to inherit my family's business.
- "Hello Ms. Nalzen, This is Aaron, your rented husband." This is the owner of the club, I guess.
- His name is Arthur if I'm not mistaken.
- I give Aaron the rules that we need to follow within two months. Especially if we are in front of the public.
- "Nice to meet you, Aaron, here are the rules that I make. It is only implemented if we are in front of other people. We need to pretend. You know, being sweet with each other, something like that." I explained.
- He just, smirk?
- "No problem." He accepted the papers and started checking them.
- Then I remind him of our upcoming wedding.
- "By the way, our wedding is on Sunday. So, anytime now or tomorrow, you can move into my house."
- From smile to frown.
- His angelic face turns into a devil one.
- What is happening?
- "Wedding?" He asked surprised then look at Arthur.
- "You didn't tell me about this wedding thingy?" He asked, disbelief showing all over his face.
- Nica is not here. I don't know what kind of deal she and Arthur agreed to.
- I answered on behalf of Arthur, as he is speechless at the moment.
- "Aaron, there's nothing to worry about. It is just a fake wedding. I just need to show and prove to my uncle that I got married." I told him.
- But he frowned even more.
- "Yeah, I know, but it is still fake and not real. I thought we just have to pretend without a real wedding involve." He answered. Disbelief is showing on his handsome face.
- Oh well, it is still a wedding with a stranger. I understand him, but we already paid. And the wedding should push through whether he like it or not.
- "I'm sorry, but this is the only way to prove that I am getting married for real. And I already paid, You are mine for two months." I'm trying to control myself from being angry.
- Aaron laugh.
- " Tsk, I just can't believe this, Arthur. But yeah, I already signed that fucking contract. There's nothing I can do." He is so arrogant.
- "Aaron, mine your words." Arthur chimed in. Afraid of my possible reaction.
- I felt rejected. How could he turn me down?
- I am Nalzen Villarreal. Every boy and man wants to be with me!
- How could he?
- "Having a wedding is the most important of all. Don't worry, there is no photographer, no media, nothing at all. Just a close family of mine and my Uncle's family. The wedding planner, photographer, and everyone who is involved, including you, are only pretending. I have a boyfriend and I don't want him to know that I am married. So don't you worry, the whole plot and scenario are all fake, including the characters." I'm glad that I manage my anger gracefully.
- Hopefully, it convinced him.
- "Yeah, right, we are just a character on this drama that you rich people played." He said with disdain in his words. And anger radiating all over his face.
- But I don't care at all! He is mine as I already paid him. There's nothing he can do anymore.
- "Let me remind you, Mr. Aaron, that you are just a husband for rent, yet acting like a decent man. I am your Master and you are my slave for two months. Don't worry, I will let you go after the contract has ended."
- That's it. I cannot control my anger anymore.
- He just laughed.
- He is crazy. And I need to bear with him for two months.
- Will things go well?
- I don't know...
