Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love on Sale: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Benedict Bradford froze.He slowly reached for the bright red invitation, but then suddenly slapped it away before laughing out loud.“Sister-in-law? Are you insane—or am I?“You expect anyone to believe that nonsense? Everyone knows Theodore is abroad. You think he got engaged to you?”As soon as the words left his mouth, the room erupted in laughter from his gang of rich, spoilt friends.Before I could explain, a nosy rich brat in the crowd named Eric Pullman shouted, “Benedict, I just spent another 1.99 on a new idea. I promise it’s hilarious!”Benedict glanced down at his phone, then immediately picked up his glass of red wine and splashed it at my face as he grinned.“Looks like an oil painting. Good idea!”His childish and disrespectful behavior shattered my last shred of patience. I just wanted to get Grandpa Alexander Bradford’s task over with and leave.“It’s your birthday today, and I don’t want to embarrass you. This is your gift. Happy birthday.“And Grandpa Ale

Since that day, something had been off with Benedict.Even the friends he usually fooled around with had noticed his unusual mood.“What’s wrong with you these days, Benedict? You’ve been totally out of it.”“It’s just a fake engagement, right? Don’t tell me you’ve come down with pre-wedding jitters?“I heard Sansa’s been busy at the mansion, getting everything ready for the engagement party. With a grand gesture like this, I bet the old man and Sansa will never dare to meddle in your life again!”Benedict’s hand paused mid-air with his wine glass. A light flickered in his eyes.“She’s still going through with the engagement party?”Eric chuckled. “Of course! Everyone in our circle knows she’s getting engaged tomorrow. “Honestly, Lina’s fake engagement plan was brilliant. Sansa’s about to lose a lot of face!”Before the words had even fully landed, Benedict stood up and rushed to Alexander’s mansion.Meanwhile, I was reviewing details with Theodore’s personal assistant.“Ma

Benedict turned around in disbelief, his eyes fixed on Theodore’s suit which matched my gown better.His face drained of all color as his panic rose.“Why are you back, Theodore?” he asked.Theodore smiled faintly. “This is my engagement party. If I hadn’t come, I was afraid someone else would sweep Sansa away.”Reality finally hit Benedict. He stared at me, his lips trembling. “So all along… You were really going to get engaged to Theodore?”I nodded, slightly puzzled by the intensity of his reaction.“Yes. Didn’t I send you the invitation?“What’s wrong with you lately? Ever since your birthday, you’ve been acting strangely, saying all kinds of nonsense. “This is my engagement party today—if you try to pull another ridiculous prank like that cheap online scheme, I swear, Benedict, I won’t let it go!”Theodore gently pried Benedict’s hand off my wrist and stepped in to defuse the situation, his eyes dark and unreadable.“He’s probably just in shock. It’s been a while sinc

To be honest, this was the one thing that always puzzled me most.Benedict had always been mischievous and unruly, so it made sense that Alexander tried to control his life. But Theodore wasn't like that. He had skipped grades, graduated from university early, conquered the business world, and handled everything with measured ease. He embodied the image of a perfect heir.Logically, even if Alexander had given the order, he could’ve refused to marry me."Do you have some kind of illness?" I asked, half-joking."You seem like someone who’d marry his career. When I told Grandpa Alexander about it, I thought you’d react like Benedict—turn me down without hesitation."My abrupt question made Theodore laugh. He raised a brow and asked in return, “So, you think I agreed to marry you because something’s wrong with me, because no one else would want me?“Is it so hard to believe… I might just like you?”I chuckled. “I never could read you,” I admitted. “When I started univer

I frowned skeptically at Benedict. “Will this really work? Somehow, it feels so unhinged.”Benedict patted his chest and made me a solemn promise, “Don’t worry. I already told Grandpa everything. Just wait and watch the show.”Meanwhile, early that morning, Theodore noticed I was nowhere to be found. “Grandpa, where’s Sansa? And Benedict’s gone too?” he asked.Alexander paused midway through his morning reading, then looked up and said simply, “They left.”Theodore’s voice shot up in disbelief. “They left? Why didn’t you tell me?”Alexander grunted softly. “What business is it of yours? You told Sansa not to like you. It’s better this way, so no need to make a fuss. “Who knows? Maybe when they come back, they’ll already have their baby. You agree, right—”Before he could finish, Theodore dashed out of the house, his clothes barely changed.Watching Theodore’s anxious retreat, Alexander sighed. “Both of them are so stubborn, you only win because Sansa likes you.”At the ai
