Khrystal comes from a wealthy family in Vista Querencia. She has everything in life; looks, power, money. But despite everything, she's still worthless.

Because in everyone's opinion, she was just a good for nothing bastarda-an illegitimate daughter that taints the Dagsinal clan.

Agustine Bhryll Revelar, on the other hand, is a well-known businessman. He also has everything in life including what Khrystal doesn't have-a good reputation. 

In an unforeseen circumstances, the two have to meet for business and unexpectedly created a bond with each other. Will that attachment remain as time goes on?

In the midst of the filthy name that rests on Khrystal, will she still be able to show her true worth?

The Bastarda's Contract With Mr. CEO

"What should I do?" I pulled out my hair while resting on my soft bed. 


It was not until after that that I realized what I had done earlier at the mall when I returned home. I've been here for about ten minutes, reflecting on the poor choice that was made over and over again. 


I groaned and stomped my feet in the air. "What a dumb head you got, Khrystal," I blamed myself. 


What if that man reached the limit of my card? Damn, Daddy will definitely kill me! 


Even though nothing has occurred yet, I'm already crying because I believe my predictions will come true. I can handle Mommy Francheska's rage, but I don't want to let Daddy down or rile him up. 


Three knocks on the door caught my attention. When it opened, I quickly got up when I saw Mommy Francheska entering my room. 


"Prepare your things," she told me. "You're leaving tomorrow," she added. 


I did not immediately move from my spot and processed what she said. 


She smirked when she saw my reaction. She mischievously crossed her arms and looked at me lazily. 


“Our company is located outside the Vista Querencia. Do you wish to travel an hour each way to work every day, Khrystal?" she enquired. 


I finally got her point after a while. Mom was right. If I stayed at home while working outside our province, it would be too much trouble. 


But...is this real? She's really letting me go. 


"But my last project at the firm is not yet finished," I said. 


"I will handle that. I will send someone there as your replacement. Focus on what you are going to do. Besides, you want this, right? Living apart from us," she said. 


I bit my lip and lowered my gaze. "It is not like that, Mom," I said softly. 


She smirked and walked into my window area. She looked outside while keeping her arms crossed. 


"Just do everything to get Mr. Revelar for the sake of our company, Khrystal," she stated seriously. 


That's when I remembered what Nexus and I had talked about. Even though I was afraid, I still had the courage to speak. 


"Why me?" I asked lowly, enough for her to hear. 


She gave me a slow sidelong glance before arching her brows. 


I inhaled deeply and gave her a cautious glance. “I found out that he is neither a simple businessman nor an investor. He's a magnate tycoon. I am confused. Why did you pick me, a newbie, for this project?" I asked. 


"Because I want you out of our lives," she answered directly. 


The pain suddenly hit me. I have anticipated that. Even though I knew they didn't like me, it still hurt to hear it from the woman I thought of as my mother. 


"I chose you so that I could get rid of you. If it weren't for my husband, I would have let you disappear from our path a long time ago. You are a sore in my eyes, in everyone's sight. If you fail to this task, I will have a reason to make people hate you even more. However, if you succeed…” She smirked as if it was really impossible to happen. “I still have a good reason for kicking you out of this house. I'll just claim that a deal has already been reached. that I recently gave you something you've been wanting for a while.” 


I just looked down and held back my impending tears. 


“So, try to succeed in negotiating with Mr. Revelar. It's better to leave quietly, right?" she pointed out, and walked out of my room. 


The moment she closed the door, my tears streamed down my cheeks. I bit my lip and cried as I was reminiscing every word she uttered.
