Agreement Behind Her Marriage [English] The Final Chapter
Lily observed through the bedroom window that Drew and Mr. Walton were engaged in a serious conversation. Danica approached her, saying, "By the way, sis, here are the items you asked me to purchase," as she handed her a brown paper bag taken from her purse. "Did you inform Orion?" Danica shook her head. "Good! If you tell Orion, he will surely inform Drew." "Why don't you want to tell Drew? He's your husband, right?" Danica asked, furrowing her brow. "I don't want to pressure him. Besides, I want to be certain first." Danica rolled her eyes. Lauren and Kori were occupied with their child, while Orion, Finn, and Brett were by the pool, conversing with Mr. Arvesso. Lily quietly entered the master bedroom, with Danica following closely behind. In recent days, she has been experiencing morning sickness. There were even moments when the car’s scent on her way to work made her feel nauseous, and she ended up vomiting at the office. She retrieved the pregnancy test

Months before Lily and Drew's wedding, With Kael's assistance, Lily and Drew moved to a new home near Burnham's villa. It was more spacious than their previous residence, but Lily had already embraced the idea of living in a larger home than her husband desired. She began the process of registering her business with Danica's help, while her sister had decided to focus on their newly opened resort on the island. Drew was reluctant to utilize Kael's services, but Lily had no one else she trusted more than him, despite his issues with her sister. "I've accepted your dad's offer to lead the engineering team for his project in Melbourne, Australia," Kael informed Lily as they toured their completed new home. "I didn't inquire about what transpired between you and Danica because I'm also concerned about Carmela and Kenneth's situation. What happened, Kael?" "Lily, I didn't betray your sister," Kael retorted. "But that doesn't mean you didn't hurt her," she casually obse

[This chapter may disturb some readers. A trigger warning is advised.]LILY'S heart was beating frantically. She was driven by her stepbrother Kenneth to a hotel-based bachelor party for a friend. Even though she was aware of the man's ulterior motivations, she felt compelled to go with him out of concern for her safety.“I’ll kill your precious Manang Puring if you disobey me,” she remembers Kenneth's ghostly, demonic smile before he took her to that place."Hello, boys!" he said right after they opened the door of one suite.They found four men inside the room.“Wow, Ken!” One of his friends whistled. “You really took Lily with you?” She was unsure of why his eyes were crimson at the time. She recognizes him as Kenneth's best friend, the man who frequently stops by their home. She catches him casting an uncomfortable glance her way most of the time. She also heard her brother remark, "She's stupid! Even our father hated the woman. If you want to fvck her, go ahead. She might be help

Four years later… Lily's whole body is shaking as the two assistants are helping her dress. It was her wedding day to someone she had never seen before. She ought to have met Drew Walton by now. However, her soon-to-be husband left the country on the day they were supposed to have a meeting with her family to discuss the marriage, giving her the impression that he wasn't interested in their arrangement. Master Walton, his grandfather, likes her. It infuriated her father that evening. He stated, slamming a cane into her back, which had been giving her pain for weeks, "It was all your fault! Maybe Drew doesn't want to marry you because you're ugly!" Her stepmother sneered, and Kenneth continued to stare at her like a shadowy demon. That unsettling smile on his face was a constant reminder of the main cause of her life's tragedy. She aspired to find strength, but how could she? Her brother's misguided instructions had led to relentless bullying at college, ultimately preven

Her husband doesn't like her. That's what Lily thought as she heard the voices talking. She opened her eyes, and it was clear to her ears how her husband criticized her. He desired a woman with a model-like physique as opposed to someone who was thin and frail like her. After all, who would want someone like her who can't even help her family? A woman of no use? Would she be curious still? Even her own father and his wife, Kenneth, and the maids dislike her. "I-I-I'm sorry..." she said, sobbing. Her husband and his friend turned to her at the same time. "Damn it!" Drew gently touched the tip of his nose bridge between his eyebrows. Lily was startled, and it seemed like she could already feel the man was about to attack her. "Bro, you're just making it worse," said his friend. The man tried to approach her, but she simply became more frightened and retreated to the corner of the bed. Her body trembled. She had several images of men who wanted to harm her seriously. They were m

Drew sat in the corner of the bed while Lily cried. “I understand if you choose to leave me after tonight,” she murmured. The thought angered him. He knew he was among the most awful individuals in the world, but he never imagined that anyone could be worse than him. Her past upset him. Along with that, he understood why Lily reacted this way. As her husband, he had every right to feel this way, didn't he? "Lily, you know I already agreed to this, right? I said 'I do,' and I'm not crazy enough to change my mind just because things aren't going well for you." He accepted Lily. There was a reason why his grandfather chose her. When Drew witnessed Mr. Martin beating his wife with a cane earlier, he had an intense urge to step forward and confront him, to give him a taste of his own medicine, just as he did for Lily. It felt as if his chest were ablaze with anger upon discovering what Kenneth and his friends had done to his wife. He wanted to make them pay for their actions by chal

"Honestly, I'm not sure about this marriage either. Both of us have our reasons for getting married," said Drew. He felt uncertain about the relationship he had entered into. What he was going to do with Lily had been on his mind since last night. He was convinced that he and Lily might not be compatible. Her personality was quite different from his everyday life. He was accustomed to a lifestyle of parties, intimacy, and the company of women. Did being married mean he would have to give all of that up? "We won't be happy if I change myself just because I'm married, Lily. If we're not happy, this relationship might end in an annulment. I may miss the life I used to have, and I'm not certain if you can live with it." He didn't want to convey to his wife that the level of tolerance he was currently showing her might be excessive. He noticed the concern in her eyes, and she lowered her head. "Talk, Lily," Drew frowned. He had spoken so many words that he felt like he might run out

Victor's intense gaze caught Lily off guard, and she immediately began to contemplate how she could discreetly exit the restaurant. She felt a tightness in her chest, and her hand holding the golden card started to tremble. Drew, noticing Victor's demeanor, inquired, "Is there an issue?" "No, sir!" Victor quickly responded, adjusting his posture. "I'm the owner of this restaurant. I'm just checking in on our customers to ensure their satisfaction." "We don't have a problem. She was just feeling a bit overwhelmed," Drew replied. "Good to hear, sir." "Please bring the bill. We'll take care of it." "Of course! I hope you enjoyed your meal." Victor was about to leave when Drew stopped him with a remark. "And please dispose of this for us," Drew handed him a used tissue that Lily had used to wipe her tears. "Dispose of it properly. I prefer to keep our surroundings clean." Lily swallowed hard upon hearing Drew's request. Did he notice something? "Wait a moment, sir! I'll p

The police identified Keith, the person who attacked Drew and Lily's house, just a few days later. Brian's car's dash cam was on, as he had thought he was only going to be at Drew's house for a few minutes, and it captured Keith on his motorcycle, including his license plate. After investigating Keith, they discovered he had been sending nasty messages to Brian. Carmela's case was reopened, and Faye apologized to the nurse after speaking rudely during their last meeting. Just as Lily had suspected, Carmela was under immense pressure from the public, the court, her family, and her job at the hospital. Most people didn't believe Carmela, which only added to the pressure she was feeling. She had indeed been lying and sought Kenneth's attention, but couldn’t believe she would end up being a victim. As Lily knew, Carmela had a strong attraction to the doctor. Many complicated things happened, but Lily achieved her goal. She knew that Kenneth's group was in trouble, especially with

Danica continued to tremble with fear, sadness, and heartache, overwhelmed by everything that had unfolded that day, until Kael arrived, accompanied by Faye. Her tears flowed even more freely because it appeared as if they were confirming what Lily had told her. She had believed the man was still in Hong Kong. The woman radiated unwavering confidence as if she were prepared for battle at any moment. They all entered Lily's house to inspect the contents of the USB drive provided by Brian. Sitting on the bench, tears welled in her eyes, and she couldn't bring herself to look at Kael. In reality, she sensed something unusual in his demeanor. It was as if he was weary at that moment. Kael approached her while they were outside. "Are you okay, Dan?" She shook her head as she wiped away her tears. "Is there something bothering you?" Kael asked. She stood up; her need for the truth pressing. "All I want is the truth, Kael. Did you have a relationship with Attorney Faye?" Th

[This chapter may be unsettling for some readers due to the uncomfortable situations encountered while uncovering the truth in the evidence.] Lily has yet to recover from the assault by an unknown assailant. Brian was rushed to the hospital, even though he was already lifeless. When they spoke to the investigating officers, they explained Lily had asked Brian to come over, despite a restraining order preventing him from approaching her. "Ms. Lily, isn't Brian a suspect in the recent case involving Ms. Carmela? Why did you agree to meet with him?" the investigator inquired of Lily. "I know... He's my sister's ex-boyfriend. He requested a meeting with us, claiming he had something to share... I personally chose to meet at our house because my husband and my brother Orion are here. I didn't consider the restraining order because I wanted to know what he had to offer." "And is that the USB your companions are referring to?" Lily nodded. "Do you mean that Mr. Brian Mendoza cam

Danica invited Lily to go out after being feel devastated with Carmela’s case. They were shopping for clothes when they talked about Kael. "Do you have a crush on Engineer Kael?" Lily asked the young woman. "Huh? No way! Why would you ask that?" Danica replied, with her cheeks turning red, clearly avoiding the question. "Because I wouldn't blame you if you did. Kael is kind, handsome, and has a good life, and a strong family relationship... Most importantly, I want to know if I need to protect your feelings. He's still in love with Faye Burnham." Her sister froze in her tracks. "T-the lawyer?" Lily nodded. "But doesn't she have a fiancé? Isn't Faye getting married? And how did they even start a relationship?" She gently ran her fingers through Danica's hair. Lily was aware that her sister was beginning to develop feelings for Kael, even though she denied it. "Unfortunately, they have a history. Lauren's family was overly meticulous due to their family issues in the pas

Kael met Faye in another country and listened to all her complaints. He allowed himself to silently grieve for the man she was planning to marry while Faye sobbed. Now, he understood why Faye no longer wanted to go back to America. In a little while, he ordered food to be delivered to the room because he doubted whether Faye could eat at the hotel’s restaurant. She barely touched her own order either. Kael joined her in watching a movie on the television before informing her that he was going back to his room. It was already midnight, and they both needed to rest. "Can you stay?" Faye asked. "Faye..." Concern etched on Kael's face. His mind was now firmly set that it would be wrong if something were to happen between him and Finn’s sister. "Faye, I am dating someone," he stated firmly. The shock was written all over Faye's face. She pressed her lips together and didn't know what to say. "Danica? The woman you were with at the birthday party? Is it her?" "Yeah...

A lot transpired in Carmela's case, and it was quite chaotic. However, what Lily didn't anticipate was Carmela, the woman who had filed the case, withdrawing her case against Kenneth's group. This came as such a shock to Lily that it was emotionally painful. She felt the urge to cry out of frustration."I'm going to Faye's office," she told Drew. They had been resting at home for a couple of days, and she felt within herself that she was ready to confront whatever the problem was. She needed to face this before she could truly accept it.
