Silence. Two people who had previously agreed not to meet were now facing each other in this packed café. They were both silent, with none of them initiating the dialogue. Milly, in particular, had no intention of saying hi or inquiring about the man in front of her.

Milly had been taken aback by Arthur's appearance and had not expected the man to unexpectedly request her to meet after a month of not seeing each other. Arthur advised me not to contact him again.

Milly still felt horrible about what transpired that night in front of Agatha. Even though everything was her friend's idea, Milly had no face to meet Arthur or her friend.

The stern-faced man gave Milly that stare. He had no idea that the actions of that night would result in the formation of a seed in Milly's womb. In truth, Arthur had never expected the incident to lead to such a long-term problem. But what could be said? Rebbecca desired the kid in Milly's womb after everything that had occurred.

Arthur also believed that this would work in his favor, as Agatha would no longer pursue the man.

"How are you?" Arthur inquired abruptly after a lengthy quiet.

Milly looked up, her gorgeous eyes making Arthur gasp. Milly then grew silent and glanced down. She slowly nodded.

"Alright," Milly said flatly.

Arthur took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He disliked the awkward position. The only way out was for Arthur to announce his entrance right away and make a deal with the girl in front of him.

"That's all right, Milly. I don't want to put this off any longer. I'm sure you're shocked that I've come to see you so quickly after we haven't seen each other in a long. I knew you were expecting," Arthur remarked, causing Milly to flinch.

Milly was taken aback that the man in front of her was suddenly aware of her pregnancy.

She hadn't said anything to anyone, including her mother, who was nearby. But it was odd that Arthur, who hadn't seen her in a month, instantly recognized her.

Arthur understood because of Milly's expression. The news appeared to be real. The man leaned back, recognizing a deep breath.

"Don't bother asking me where I know. Because it's all so simple for me. Discovering this small amount of knowledge does not take long, Milly." Arthur seemed to know what Milly was thinking.

The girl fell silent and let out a deep sigh. Milly assumed Arthur was ready to want an abortion. Milly swiftly explained that she would continue the pregnancy without involving him.

"I apologize for bothering you. I had no idea I was pregnant either, but don't be concerned. I will not ask anything of you and will raise this child myself." Milly replied, causing Arthur's brows to furrow.

The man waited for a time, considering Milly's every word; only then did he realize that the girl had misinterpreted Arthur's entrance. Milly was perplexed as she gazed at Arthur's face as the man giggled quietly.

"Do you think I'm going to tell you to terminate your pregnancy, Milly?" Arthur inquired. Milly chose not to speak.

"Milly, of course not. I'm not that cruel a man; in fact, I came here to propose marriage to you." Arthur went on.

Milly's body stiffened as a result of the man's statement. Her expression seemed surprised as if she had gotten a surprise. Milly's emotions were conflicted until she realized Arthur was Agatha's lover.

Her connection with Agatha would be damaged if they married. That was something Milly did not want to happen.

"There isn't any necessity, Arthur. I don't want to make the same mistake again by betraying Agatha. Besides, if she finds out you're marrying me, she'll be hurt. Furthermore, you don't love me, do you? So, what is the point of this union?" Milly's question rendered Arthur dumbfounded for a minute; the girl had never considered marrying Arthur after the events of that night.

Milly tried to forget him and live as normally as she could. But who would have guessed? Milly found herself in this difficult circumstance as a result of her pregnancy.

"Agatha and I have broken up," Arthur remarked abruptly, forcing Milly to stop talking.

For the umpteenth time, the girl froze, and guilt rushed in. It appeared that she was responsible for everything. Yet apologizing to Arthur now would be worthless. I'm not sure what Milly should do right now because she was completely stumped.

"If you ask me if I want to get married, the answer is no. Because I don't love you. Nevertheless, I require the child in your womb. "I'll take care of all her needs as well as your mother's medical expenditures till she recovers," Arthur informed Milly.

Milly would have been enticed by Arthur's proposition if she had heard it. As the girl thought about how Agatha would feel if she married her friend's ex-boyfriend, she promptly shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Arthur, but I can't. I'll bear and raise this child on my own, which is preferable to having to marry you. So Agatha's sentiments have been hurt? "I'm afraid I can't," Milly answered, leaving Arthur stunned.

Milly, it turned out, was simply a victim of Agatha's trap. Yet Arthur must keep his urge to ask for the kid in Milly's womb alive. It was all for Rebecca's sake.

"We're not going to get married. I'm simply proposing a contract marriage to you. I'll marry you until the kid is born, and I'll pay your mother's medical bills until she recovers. So it's pretty good, isn't it?"Arthur was still adamant about negotiating with Milly.

The girl chuckled sharply, then gave Arthur a frustrated expression. "I'm sorry, but I can't. Whatever you provide, I will not accept it "Milly then chose to leave Arthur's presence, oblivious to the fact that the man's countenance was as shocked and saddened.

Arthur, who remained in Kafa after Milly's death, considered ways to keep Milly married to him. Then an idea struck him, and without more delay, the man headed to the hospital. Milly's mother was relocated to the VIP ward. This was done for Milly to accept Arthur's proposal.

The man had several methods for subduing Milly and immobilizing her. Milly, who had just arrived after dropping by the drugstore, was astonished to find her mother, not in her room. The young lady was perplexed. She inquired of the nurse present where her mother had gone. She had been informed that her mother had been transferred to the VIP ward.

Milly's body screamed. She had already concluded that all of this had to be Arthur's doing because only he could do whatever he wanted.

Milly rushed straight to her mother without waiting for a song. She was astonished to see Arthur conversing with her mother.

"Milly, are you here? Come on in!" exclaimed her mother, motioning for the girl to enter.

Milly remained mute with an annoyed expression on her face, but she couldn't help but comply with her mother's request to enter. She took a seat alongside her mother, next to Arthur, who was now sitting opposite Milly.

"Are you pregnant?" her mother surprised Milly. The girl's face blanched to death. She then looked at Arthur, who appeared calm, as if all of this was his fault.

Even though Milly had gone to great lengths to conceal her pregnancy so that her mother would not judge her and worsen her mother's condition.

Milly nodded weakly, unable to ignore it any longer. Even if Milly tried to cover it up, Arthur appeared determined to prove everything. Arthur claimed to be the biological father of the child Milly was carrying. Her mother was initially outraged, but Arthur told her that he would marry Milly and accept responsibility for his actions.

"Why don't you just marry Arthur if it's true?" her mother questioned, her eyes sorrowful and regretful. She had no idea her daughter was pregnant without her knowledge. She had no idea what had happened between Arthur and Milly, only that her daughter had a particular relationship with him.

"Don't worry, Mom. I simply want to raise this child on my own. "I don't want to bother anyone else," Milly said finally. But the girl kept her head down, not daring to glance at Arthur, who was staring at her right now.

The mother sighed deeply. She then took her daughter's hand in her own. "Don't be like that, Milly. Arthur is also entitled to the youngster in your care. womb. You should marry; it's in your best interests. If I'm not available, you have other family members to turn to, and if all else fails, you can rely on Arthur. Milly, Mummy does not want you to live alone. Therefore, Arthur, marry."

Milly inquired as to the conclusion of her chat with her mother.Arthur had excused himself at that point, but the man swiftly opted to pursue Arthur, demanding an explanation.Milly was furious by this point. Emotions were rising inside her chest. Arthur took a breather, seemingly cool in the face of an enraged Milly. Arthur encouraged Milly to sit down and converse for a while. It doesn't sound nice, because it's still in a hospital environment. Yet Arthur would reveal his plans for their contract marriage."Why are you sitting there, Arthur? What are you thinking? What is your goal?" inquired Milly, desiring a proper answer. Because she didn't grasp the man's point of view.Arthur could have let her live blissfully with the baby in her womb if he had wanted to.

    "So, how is it, Darling? Are you prepared to marry?" Rebecca enquired about Milly and Arthur.They were both deafeningly silent, and neither dared to speak. Earlier, Agatha had arrived to sabotage things, accusing Milly of everything and anything until the woman was traumatized and contemplating ending the marriage.Arthur appeared to be at ease. He stood up, shrugging his shoulders in front of Rebecca."Ma'am, the sooner the better for me. Instead of Milly's pregnancy growing and becoming another issue for us. As you are aware, correct? Many journalists want to know about my personal life. As a result, I decided to hold this wedding as soon as possible."Rebecca smiled cheerfully, knowing it would be simple to persuade Arthur to marry Milly. She was overjoyed because she would soon have the grandchildren she had longed for for so long.The middle-aged woman's gaze shifted to Milly, who was still silent with a doubtful expression. The fear in her eyes was palpable, and Arthur could tel

    "Thank you."Milly said that before getting out of Arthur's car.However, her movement was halted when the man called her name instead."Why don't you go home? Are you trying to keep me from knowing your home?"Milly turned her head. She looked at Arthur with tired eyes."My mom is in the hospital. There's no way I'm going home. Later, even after I get married, I'll spend a lot of time there."Arthur was silent. He seemed to have just realized this girl's situation."Okay."Milly immediately got out of the car. Meanwhile, Arthur watched her depart from the car.There was a sudden curiosity about how Milly's life had become like this.However, Arthur quickly dispelled that thought."That's none of my business. The important thing is that the baby can be mine."Arthur left immediately. He had to focus on his work.***"Are you home?" asked Agnes, Milly's mother.The girl, who had been daydreaming, gasped.She turned to her mother with a bright smile."Yes, ma'am.

This wedding had to be held.On the way back to the hospital, Milly was silent as she stared at the road. Her mind kept wandering, imagining what would happen if she was with Arthur.He would definitely treat her badly. But, then again. She had no choice but to marry Arthur.Arriving at the hospital, Agnes was being examined. She chose to wait outside while sitting on a waiting chair. She looked down, fiddling with her fingers.Then, her eyes gasped when she saw a pair of shiny shoes in front of her. Milly immediately looked up and was shocked to see Arthur in front of her, staring intently. "Arthur? You... what are you doing here?" asked Milly, her body slowly standing up. Until she and the man stood face to face, very close.Arthur was still staring intently at Milly, until the man's firm han

    "But, my mom is still sick. Shouldn't we wait until she gets a little better?""No. I don't want to buy any more time. I don't want to take any risks. What if Agatha hurts you? Or she hurts the child in your womb? Aren't you thinking far ahead, Milly?"The woman fell silent. Hearing Arthur's last sentence, her hand reflexively stroked her flat stomach.The man's words were true. What she feared was not Milly, but the safety of their baby."But, what about my mom?"Arthur sat down at her side with a deep sigh. "I'm sure your mom will agree. We'll make a live broadcast, so your mother can see our wedding on video."Milly turned around with sparkling eyes. Seeing that, Arthur again fell silent. He seemed mesmerized by her innocent face and beautiful eyes."Is that true?" asked Milly, breaking Arthur's reverie."Yes, I assure you it is. So, it's been decided that we'll have the wedding tomorrow."***Rebbeca was surprised to hear that Arthur had asked to be prepared for his wedding to Mi

    "Mom, I'm just an ordinary woman. While Arthur is a famous person. How can I marry him? What will people think?"These were some of Milly's worries among the many fears she had about becoming the wife of a famous businessman like Arthur.Agnes smiled as she gently rubbed her daughter's head."I know your worries, Milly. But, you must be sure that Arthur and his family will not let you suffer because of the bad people out there. I'm also sure that Arthur's family will treat you very well. Your job is to be a good wife, an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother. I'm sure that will make you happy."Milly was silent. Her mother's words were true, but difficult to do. Maybe if she became an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother, Milly could try. But being a good wife? That couldn't happen. Her mother would never know, this marriage would only last as long as she carried her child."Already, don't think weird. You have to be happy, including your child."Milly gave her best smi

    "What, honeymoon, ma'am?"Rebecca chuckled at the nickname mentioned by Milly."Call me Mother, not Madam. You'll be my daughter-in-law, Milly."The woman looked awkward about changing her nickname. However, she did what Rebecca told her to do."Okay, Mother.""Good. So, where do you want to go on your honeymoon? I'll grant you that. Think of it as me pleasing my future grandchild in the womb."Milly was silent. Seeing Rebecca's enthusiastic face, she remembered Arthur's words. It was true, this middle-aged woman wanted a grandchild so badly, it was like this."Milly?""Ah, yes, ma'am?""Why are you daydreaming? Is there something wrong?"Milly immediately shook her head. "No, ma'am. I... I was just thinking, there's no need for a honeymoon.""Why?""I'm pregnant, my mom's sick. Plus Arthur must be busy with his work. So, it's better here. I'd rather be here."Rebecca was silent. This was in stark contrast to Agatha who was always pulling for Arthur. Indeed, Milly was a good daughter-

    Arthur walked slowly, but his gaze was terrifying. Like an animal ready to pounce on its enemy."Don't pretend, Agatha! Tell me, what did you do to Milly?"Hearing Milly's name mentioned, the woman's body jerked. The feeling of hatred came back."What happened to her? Did she tell you something bad? You should know, I've known you longer than Milly.""Longer acquaintance does not guarantee knowing her true nature, Agatha. I'm grateful that with recent events, I've been able to find out what you're like."Agatha was getting more and more confused with the direction of the man's conversation. Just as she was about to speak up, Arthur suddenly showed her the video on his cell phone.Agatha's face immediately paled. Apparently, this was about her fight with Milly the other day. She thought Arthur would take her side. But why did Agatha think it would end in a fight?"You really are a shameful woman, Agatha! In a public place, you humiliated Milly whom you had framed. Then, what else are y

    For some reason now Milly felt that Arthur was looking for her faults. The look on the man's face suddenly changed, making Milly wonder if maybe this was because of his rejection of the marriage agreement that the man wanted to change? But she didn't want to impose her will. She wanted to live life to her heart's desire, without coercion or agreements that made it difficult for her to move."Why are you silent? You ask me why I've changed and then you ignore me?" Arthur asked, making Milly gasp.The woman seemed to be pulled from her reverie. She cleared her throat and closed her eyes a few times. Trying to calm her heart and stay focused on the current conversation."Yes, that's right. Why are you keeping me quiet? Is it because of the marriage contract that I didn't agree to?" Milly asked, to the point.She didn't want to conjecture and stress her mind. This would be dangerous for the child in the womb."Actually, yes, but that's just one of the reasons why I chose to be silent whe

    Davinson seemed to think for a moment. He didn't know what Milly was like, but it seemed that he had other ideas in order to benefit more from the plan Agatha had given him. "How about it, huh? I actually don't like cute girls. We don't know each other yet anyway. Do you think I'll like her?" asked Davinson fishing for honesty from Agatha.He wanted to know if it was true that Milly was a better woman than Agatha and satisfying in bed. Because according to him, a cute woman is stiff and cannot be invited to play more wildly. Agatha let out a long sigh. She looked away for a moment, then looked back at the man with seriousness."I wouldn't be saying all this if it wasn't true. I assure you." Davinson did not immediately answer again. He thought for a moment, it was too disadvantageous for him if it turned out that he was not satisfied with Milly. Surely the man would feel at a loss, so he would ask for something else that could be doubly profitable. "How about if I get Milly, but y

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 36 New Allies

    Since the incident at the beach, Arthur has been silent. He was confused about what to say and what to do to the pregnant woman. Because for him, whatever he did must be meaningless in Milly's eyes. More precisely useless, because Milly did not feel flattered or carried away by what Arthur did.Either he had the wrong strategy or Milly didn't have any feelings for Arthur, until the woman didn't care at all about whatever the man had been fighting for.Later that evening, Arthur took Milly to dinner at a fancy restaurant. This time he wouldn't tell her anything about the contract. It might take a while for Milly to answer all of Arthur's requests. His job here now was to make her comfortable and not let Mike see her mistreat Milly. If that happened, then Rebecca would be back to calling him and terrorizing him with all kinds of questions and threats. The food was already available. Even now Arthur was cutting the steak that was already available. "No need, Arthur. I can cut it mysel

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 35 Sunset

    It was getting late, but Arthur and Milly didn't move from the beach. The pregnant woman asked to sit and watch the sunset, as she thought it was a rare moment. It was the first time Milly had ever seen a sunset.All this time she had only done her job to earn money, not caring about vacations and rest. For her, traveling was a taboo, she didn't know when she could do it. Even if there is, she will participate in some tourism works, it must be with the extra money she collects.Now, she didn't expect to be able to see the sunset this close, coupled with being pregnant. Milly really didn't expect her fate to be like this. She felt guilty to Agatha for having to marry Arthur, but right now Milly had to be selfish for the sake of the child in her womb, hoping that Agatha would not take revenge on her for what happened today. Arthur kept looking at Milly who was staring straight ahead, especially when she suddenly smiled while looking at the sunset. It was a very beautiful sight. In Art

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 34 Rebecca's Ultimatum

    In her heart Agatha actually wanted to curse at Rebecca, but considering that here was the middle-aged woman's house plus Rebecca was also Raka's mother, then she did not dare to say harsh things. She would really be shunned and possibly thrown in jail for unpleasant behavior. It was just how she explained to Rebecca that her presence was only to meet with Arthur, especially since she could not let go of the man just yet. "It's not like that, ma'am. I came here to see Arthur. I will explain everything.""What are you going to explain to my son? What do you mean, are you tricking your own friend into sleeping with my son or are you materialistic and expecting to inherit from this family? Which one is true?" The question was correct. Rebecca had made Agatha's pride suffer. But again the woman could do nothing but explain that she was not as bad as she thought."No, no. Madam is wrong to think that way. I did make a mistake, but I truly regret it. I want to explain everything to Arthu

    "I can't make a decision right now. But if it's for the good of the child, I will try until the baby is born," Milly said, giving an answer that really made Arthur hesitate. She should have just complied with Arthur's wishes, instead of doing something like that. It left the man confused and he had to find another way to get Milly to follow his wishes.Now Arthur had to calm himself down and try to get Milly to trust him again. "Alright then, I'll wait for your answer. Now how about we go for a walk?" Arthur asked trying to please Milly, preferably so that Mike could see that he was treating her very well. So that the phone wouldn't keep ringing and interrogating him. Rebecca was meddling in the household affairs of he and Milly for so long. Arthur could also be unsettled by all this. "I'm afraid I'm exhausted.""No problem, we'll rent a car. I can arrange everything," Arthur said, as if emphasizing that he would still take Milly out even if she gave 1000 refusals. Milly could on

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 32 The Reason

    Milly looked at Arthur with a flat stare. She didn't believe it at all. Although Arthur had been loyal to Agatha all this time, but not necessarily to her. Because this marriage was not the wish of either of them, except for the circumstances and Rebecca's request. "You need time to convince me. Right now I can't think clearly. I hope you don't make the same mistake again, Arthur," said the woman and chose to sit on the bed and return the bag underneath. For now Arthur was relieved that Milly could be persuaded. But in the future he had to be careful and try to convince her to stay married to him. Tell Arthur it's doubtful. But it's all for the greater good, especially for himself and the child when it's born. Rebecca will surely love her grandchild more than her own child. So, this was the main reason why Arthur had to take Rebecca's heart and keep all his possessions. "Do you want anything?" asked Arthur. He would try to persuade Milly to make up with him. If you stay angry wit

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 31 Let's Split Up The Room!

    While Milly was in the bathroom, Arthur was silent. He looked ahead with an uneasy feeling. There was resentment that he himself could not even control his lust. It was clear in the marriage contract that there was no touching. But it was Arthur who violated it all. All this was because of Rebecca's words that kept haunting him. He was afraid that his son would be like a victim of a broken home who lost his mother figure. Even if there was a babysitter or Rebecca who took care of him, it would definitely feel different if it was his own biological mother. He even thought that far, not wanting the next generation to be destroyed because of the lack of a mother's love. He really thought about it all in these few hours, until his head was filled with stressful things and even vented to Milly.But in the end, it all turned into a disaster like this. Milly wanted a separation, but of course he wouldn't do it. No matter what, Arthur had to keep Milly in the same house with him. He didn't

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 30 Fear of Repetition

    Milly continued to sob. She didn't realize that Arthur had woken up beside her. The man was at a loss as to what to do, he was wrong but not saying anything would be even more wrong. Mike might find out and report this incident to his mother. "Milly, I'm sorry."Suddenly Arthur said that, making Milly stop crying. She turned her head to the side with puffy eyes and an annoyed look, there was a look of restrained anger on Milly's face. But the woman didn't say anything, choosing to pull the blanket up and leave Arthur's presence. Milly chose to lock herself in the bathroom and continue crying. She didn't sob and remained silent with tears streaming down her face. This was a very painful event for Milly.At this rate, how will she be able to deal with Arthur? Then, will the marriage agreement continue when Arthur has violated the points listed? But if she left Arthur, what would happen to the baby? Arthur's side would definitely sue her, especially since the money given to Milly for
