Chapter 1 Prologue
Mariyah Aragon's only goal in life was to give her family a better life. In order to achieve this goal, she needs to study and work hard to pay off her parents' sacrifice for her. And she achieved it.
One night, she was ordered by her mom to return a white handkerchief and pay a sum of money her mother borrowed to her Aunt Helen, she obeyed her thinking it was just the only order to her
But she was deceived by the person she least expected to do it. Her mom literally paid her debt. Neither a money nor a letter of extension for the payment was given, she was the payment. She is the payment.
She swallowed hard as she stared at those pair of dark gray eyes. Shels standing alone with him in his open balcony, doesn't know why she was there and how she got there.
But her mind can't seem to perceive what is happening after hearing those words to him.
Did she hear him right?
Was she really married to him?
And what really shook her world, was she really married to the Alpha?
"Daughter, please pay the debt we owe to Manang Helen." mom ordered me one night. She handed me the white envelope and a handkerchief.
I looked at it, there was something engraved on the very end of it, I looked at Mama who was surprised
"Mom, what's the handkerchief for?" I ask. She didn't look at me, her trembling hand didn't escape my sight.
"T-Take that to Helen my child.. They'll take care of it.." The last thing she said was almost a whisper.
I held my breath. I know the mama well, she likes to borrow money from people she knows, I don't even know where she gets the payment from, but I just let it go.
I followed what she said, thinking that I would really pay off Mama's debt. I didn't look inside the envelope, thinking that it was the money that mom owed me. I was carrying the handkerchief, thinking that mom was just returning it to Manang Helen, who was guarding a mansion not far from us.
But everyone really dies of delusion. Because of the thought, I will just pay the debt, it means something else. Mama will literally pay off the debt, and I'll be the one to pay it. Payment to a man I just saw in the face of life, staring hard at me, and that's when I found out, I'm married to him.
