BUT ON THE NIGHT OF THEIR ANNIVERSARY, SHE SCREAMED WHEN HE REMOVED HIS “SKIN,” REVEALING THE MAN EVERYONE HAD DREAMED OF
Clara was a young woman full of dreams, yet imprisoned behind the bars of poverty.
Her father had fallen into a gambling addiction and sunk into debt amounting to 50 million pesos.
And the man he owed?
None other than Don Sebastian “Baste” Montemayor.
Don Baste was known across the country not only for his wealth, but for his appearance.
He weighed nearly 300 pounds (around 140 kilograms).
Morbidly obese, constantly sweating, scarred across the face, and always seated in a motorized wheelchair because, according to rumors, his weight made it impossible for him to walk.
Behind his back, people cruelly called him “The Billionaire Pig.”
THE DEAL
One night, Don Baste’s men arrived at Clara’s home.
“Pay the debt—or go to prison,” they threatened her father.
“We don’t have the money!” her father cried.
“Then I’ll give you my daughter! Clara! She’s young, beautiful, and hardworking! Marry her, Don Baste—take her in exchange for my debt!”
Clara’s eyes widened in terror.
“Dad?! Are you selling me?!”
But Clara had no choice.
To save her father’s life, she agreed to marry the man feared by everyone.
