[7: Marriage Contract]
- Alisha's POV -
"Oh my, is this Young Master?! He looks so much like Master Aushi!" exclaimed an elderly woman as she looked at Alas, whom I feel like is the house's stewardess.
The Malacañang Palace would be embarrassed by the grandeur, size, and beauty of Aushi's mansion.
Well, he is the wealthiest businessman at the moment, and I'll admit, he's also the most handsome.
He's well-known by many, but I never imagined that this almost perfect man is the one I had a one-night-stand with and the father of my child.
"He's also a genius on using the computer, just like me!" Aushi boasted further.
"You really take after Master Aushi!" another elderly man, probably a butler, chimed in.
Is Alas really my son? Why does it seem like he's inherited everything from Aushi and nothing from me? I was the one who carried that child. And in the end, it feels like I contributed nothing?
What a waste, what's the point of my beautiful features if my child won't inherit it.
"Alisha, this is Manang Liz, she's the stewardess here. And Mang Kiko is our only butler," Aushi said while pointing to the elderly woman and the elderly man.
I smiled at them.
"Hello, I'm Alisha. Alas's mother," I introduced myself, and they smiled back at me.
"And my wife..."
I glared at Aushi. Wife, my foot! We're not even married yet, and yet you're already calling me 'wife'!
Manang Liz and Mang Kiko gave us meaningful looks and smiles.
"We'll just escort Young Master to his room. It seems you two have something to talk about," Manang Liz said, and they went up the stairs, leaving Aushi and me downstairs.
Aushi sat on the sofa while sorting through some documents in his hand. I was too embarrassed to sit down because their chairs are just too nice for my butt.
Everything here looks like it's made of gold. I also come from a wealthy family, but our house isn't as luxurious as this.
"This is our marriage agreement. It will only last for three months because that's our deal. After its expiration, you only have two choices, it's either you will divorce me or we will be remarried formally. I've also made some rules for our marriage," he said, handing me a piece of paper.
It contains details about our three-month marriage. I glanced at the rules:
Rule 1: The husband has the right to spoil his wife.
Rule 2: The wife will handle the family budget.
Rule 3: The wife will have everything the husband has. (including the company, private property, cash, etc.)
Rule 4: The husband should obey his wife.
Rule 5: The husband has to cook dinner for his family if he has free time.
Huh, what's this? Why are the rules like this? It seems like I'm the only one benefiting from this.
I thought I'd just be a wife, but I'm going to be a princess, damn.
Everything he owns is also mine? Does that mean I instantly became a billionaire? Isn't he losing out here? What if I take all his money, isn't he afraid? Is his trust in me that big?
I just shook my head and signed the contract because my signature is the only thing missing.
There, it's done. The rules are okay, thankfully. I thought he'd make it really difficult.

- Aushi's POV -
I smiled when she signed the contract. This means, we're married, right?
I handed her another document that is a continuation of the marriage contract. I've been hiding it since earlier, sandwiched between other documents.
"Oh, you haven't read the continuation yet!" I said as I handed her the document.
She frowned as she read it and gave me a disapproving look afterwards.
HAHAHAHA, my wife is so cute.
I looked at the document and read what it said...
Rule 6: The wife should kiss her husband before she leaves the house to go to work.
Rule 7: The wife should always call her husband 'Hubby'.
Rule 8: The husband and wife should sleep in the same bed.
HAHAHAHA! This is what we call an evil laugh.
My plan is successful!
She can't complain anymore, she's already signed it.
"You purposely left this behind!" she complained.
Of course I did.
I made the marriage rules...it can't be just her benefiting. I should benefit too!
"I have one condition, though. No one else should know about our relationship," she said.
Huh?! Why?
Is she ashamed of me?! Other women would do anything just to have connection with me, and she doesn't want others to know that she's married to me?
My wife is really heartless.
But maybe she has some reason. Yeah, that's right! I am an understanding husband!
I approached her and lifted her.
"Hey, Aushi! Put me down, where are you taking me?!" Alisha protested.
"You have a shooting tomorrow, right? You should go to bed early, so I'm taking you to the room...OUR room," I said, and her eyes widened, along with her blushing face.
My wife's reaction is so cute!
"I can walk, okay? Put me down!" she protested, but I just tightened my grip.
"Mommy!"
Alisha jumped when Alas called her, causing me to release her.
She immediately went to Alas.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were already asleep?" Alisha asked Alas.
Yeah. Our moment was just ruined.
"I'm having a hard time with my assignment!" Alas said, trying to act cute to his Mommy.
What's so hard about answering his homework? With his intelligence, there's no way he is having a hard time.
"Alright, Mommy will help you. Let's go to your room,"
Alisha said and carried Alas.
They went upstairs, and I saw Alas glance back at me and smirked.
I knew it, it was his plan to steal his mother!
How did he even outsmarted me?
