Married By Agreement 133. Brothers and sisters
“Isn’t that Mrs. Stella?” Emily asked, pointing to two adults standing together.Fanny’s gaze shifted to where Emily was pointing. She saw a woman and a man standing together, looking quite familiar.“Yes, that’s Stella. What is she doing there? And who is she with?”Emily didn’t answer. Instead, a clever idea suddenly popped into her head. She took out her phone and aimed it at Stella.“What are you doing?” Fanny asked.“Taking advantage of this opportunity,” Emily replied, her eyes focused on the phone screen.Fanny frowned in confusion. “Taking advantage? What do you mean?”“I’ll explain later. Let me focus for now. I’m sure this will be very beneficial for you."Fanny didn’t respond further, allowing Emily to concentrate on what she was doing. Meanwhile, Fanny, curious about who the man with Stella was, took out her phone to send a message asking someone to find out the identity of the man with Stella.“Alright, let’s go, driver,” Emily said to the chauffeur.Hearing Emily’s comma
Married By Agreement 134. Meeting Old Friends
"Why are you silent? Answer my question. Who's better? Me or Lily?" Stella asked. "And who made the biggest impression? Who made you the happiest? Who stands out in your heart? Me or Lily?"Seeing Marvin silent made Stella frustrated. Her chest even felt a bit sore, and she felt a little tightness.The man had repeatedly said how much he loved her. He had also mentioned that once half of his love was for Lily and the other half was for her. But now, after spending more time together, he had taken the half meant for Lily and given it entirely to her.But what was happening now? When she asked a question that should be easy to answer, Marvin took a long time to think."Never mind. You don’t need to answer! I know what the answer is," Stella said. "Just go, I’m going inside." Stella turned and walked away from Marvin."Darling, I haven’t spoken yet," Marvin said."Later," Stella replied, continuing to walk. "Why bother saying it if your answer will only make me hurt!" Stella muttered, "W
Married By Agreement 135. Jealous of People Who Are No Longer
Stella, who had just arrived home, flopped onto the sofa, her mind wandering back to Delvin. The man had seemed shocked when she mentioned her marriage."Should I tell him that I initially married Marvin as part of a deal? But... why should I? It’s not important to him. Ugh! Stella, why did you have to say that to Delvin? You should have just kept quiet!" Stella leaned back on the sofa, arms folded under her chest. Her eyes stared ahead, focused, her mind working hard."Oh well, I guess he’ll forget about it by tomorrow. But... all he talked about was the past, about how I had once rejected him. He also seemed to imply that he still has feelings for me. My words earlier must have made him curious, right?"Back when Stella had just started high school, Delvin frequently visited her house as he was a friend of her brother's. Stella was the type of person who easily adapted to new people. She was talkative and quite chatty. She didn't hesitate to engage with her brother's friends, inclu
Married By Agreement 136. No More Love
"Stella," Marvin called as he managed to grab Stella's elbow.Stella stopped in her tracks and looked at Marvin."I—" Marvin’s words were cut off when the sound of Selena crying from upstairs was heard.“Selena’s crying. I’ll check on her,” Stella said. She released Marvin's hold and walked away.Tap, tap, tap.“What’s wrong?” Stella asked as she opened Selena’s room. During the day, Selena would be with her nurse in the baby room right next to Stella and Marvin’s.“She seems thirsty,” replied a woman who was fifteen years older than Stella.“I’ll take care of it. You can rest."“Alright, Ma’am,” the woman responded and left the room.Stella immediately picked up Selena and offered her a bottle, but the three-month-old baby refused to drink and kept crying. Stella checked Selena’s diaper, thinking she might have soiled it, but it was clean, leaving Stella confused and unsure of what to do.“Why, sweetheart? Why are you crying so much?” Stella trying to soothe Selena by gently patting
Married By Agreement 137. Get better
Stella opened her eyes and sat up in bed, staring at the ceiling of her room with a frown on her forehead. “Didn’t I sleep in the next room last night? I stayed there with Selena because I was too lazy to come here. So why am I suddenly in this room?” Stella thought to herself.Her eyebrows furrowed as she felt a warm touch on her abdomen. She turned to see Marvin lying next to her with his eyes closed. Now it made sense—Marvin must have moved her to this room last night.Seeing Marvin, Stella’s eyes widened. She tried to remove Marvin's hand from her stomach and intended to get out of bed. However, Marvin’s hand was already back around her, pulling her close and not letting her go.“Let me go!” Stella demanded.“No!” Marvin replied, “Why are you so angry? You’ve never been like this before.”“You’re the reason I’m like this! If you had answered my questions directly, I wouldn’t be like this. I wouldn’t be thinking all sorts of things and getting carried away!”Stella pulled at Marvi

“Did you have lunch out earlier?” Emily asked Zaline as she hurried out of her department and approached Zaline, who was heading towards the elevator.Zaline nodded in affirmation. “Yes, Mr. Marvin and I had a meeting at Lucius Company."Emily nodded in return and then said, “Are you busy today? I have some very hot news! And I’m sure you’ll be interested in what I have to say.”Zaline’s forehead immediately wrinkled. “What is it?”“I can’t explain it like this. Let’s find a café to talk.”Zaline didn’t answer but nodded her head, agreeing to the woman walking beside her. She was curious about what news Emily had.Seeing Zaline’s nod, the right corner of Emily’s mouth lifted into a smirk.“Okay, the first mission is about to begin. I hope you fall into my trap, Zaline. So I can get a lot of money from Fanny later. I’ve been wanting to splurge,” Emily thought to herself.They left Esther Company and went to a nearby café.“What’s this hot news you mentioned?” Zaline asked after orderin
Married By Agreement 139. Profitable Information
"I have an idea.""What is it?" Fanny asked."If Zaline can't do it, I'll do it myself. I'll approach Mr. Marvin and try to warm him up. If Zaline doesn't want to, fine, it's better to do it myself, right? I think doing it myself is better than using someone else. If I go it alone, I don't have to go through the trouble of arranging everything. I can move freely, and it's much more convenient.""It's better to work alone, but the problem is, getting close to Marvin isn't easy! He's not the kind of man you can just approach.""Leave that to me. You'll only have to sit back and enjoy the results. Before you know it, they'll be separated! Isn't that what you want?""What are you planning to do?" Fanny raising her eyebrows in confusion."I'll tell you once it works. I won't get too excited before seeing the results. Just wait for my news," Emily said. "If I'm lucky, Mr. Marvin will end up with me and be mine forever—it's a win-win, isn't it?"The corner of Fanny's mouth lifted. "Honestly,
Married By Agreement 140. Who?
Emily repeatedly glanced back, waiting for Marvin to arrive so she could execute her plan. Whether it would succeed or not, she was determined to capture his attention.Before long, the person she was waiting for finally appeared, accompanied by his trusted aide, Dariel. The two men walked together, joining the line to get their lunch."There's my target," Emily muttered. A moment later, she scanned the area, searching for Zaline. "Where is Zaline? Why isn't she here? Ah... this is perfect! She won’t be here to interfere! The universe is definitely on my side."The corners of Emily's lips curled into a perfect smile."I hope this plan works. If it does, I’ll become rich in no time! And if Mr. Marvin ends up in my arms, I'll become Mrs. Dameer! The wife of the owner of Esther Company. Oh, God, I can't wait for that moment to arrive. I’m sick of being poor!" Emily thought to herself.She glanced back again, watching Marvin as he selected his food.Quickly, Emily grabbed her phone and op

Married By Agreement Finally Together - The End
Delvin stood in front of Emily's apartment door, his eyes filled with doubt and hope. His hand continuously pressed the doorbell, but there was no sign that the door would open."Emily? Darling? Are you in there? Open the door, I’m back, Darling," Delvin's voice was full of regret.He stood with his hands in his pockets, feeling the cold air seeping in through the gap under the door. Delvin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. His heart was in turmoil, remembering the hurtful words he had once said and his efforts to make things right.Since the incident that nearly cost Emily her life, and after spending difficult times in Paris to reflect, Delvin had decided he couldn’t keep holding onto his anger. He wanted to return and make amends. He wanted to apologize and hoped that Emily would give him a chance to explain everything.He no longer cared about the mistakes Emily had made. After all, Emily had changed and was no longer the person she used to be. So, he decided to come bac
Married By Agreement Starting a New Life
Delvin parked his car in front of the hospital, the tires screeching as he stopped near the emergency room door. Marvin, his face full of tension and tears, quickly jumped out of the back seat. He carried the unconscious Stella and ran towards the emergency room door.Delvin followed Marvin swiftly, fear evident on his face. Meanwhile, Emily, who was a few steps behind them, walked slowly. Her heart felt heavy, as if each step carried a greater burden.Emily watched Delvin’s back, busy and completely ignoring her. “He says he loves her?” she murmured with pain. “But what’s happening now? He doesn’t care about me.”Tears began to flow down her cheeks. She felt isolated in a situation that should have been full of care. Delvin, who should have been supporting her, was instead focused entirely on Stella and Marvin. Emily felt a deep heartache, feeling neglected when she needed support the most.With her head bowed, Emily continued her steps, trying to hold back her tears. In her mind, al
Married By Agreement Almost Nothing
Marvin, Stella, Dariel, and Delvin stood at the edge of the cliff, their eyes fixed on Emily, who was dangling there, gripping tightly to a tree root that pierced through the ground. Her face was pale, tears streamed down her cheeks, and her body trembled with overwhelming fear. Below her, the abyss gaped like a black maw, ready to swallow her at any moment."Darling?" Delvin shouted from above, his voice hoarse with barely concealed anxiety. "Grab my hand, I'll pull you up!" His hand stretched out toward Emily, trying to reach her trembling fingers.Emily looked down at the depth awaiting her below. Fear enveloped her, making her sobs even more uncontrollable. "I'm scared," her voice barely audible, drowned in heart-wrenching sobs."You'll be okay!" Marvin's voice followed, filled with confidence and hope. He lowered his body closer to the edge of the cliff, extending his hand alongside Delvin's. "Now grab our hands, mine and Delvin's. We'll help you up."Stella stood not far from th

Fanny stared out the villa window. "Has he left yet?" she asked without turning, her voice firm with a hint of impatience.Willy, the brother of the deceased man she once loved, kept talking after bringing Emily here, which only irritated her further. So, with cunning, Fanny sent him away to buy food for the evening, using it as an excuse to keep him away while she executed her plan.One of her henchmen nodded, his face expressionless. "Yes, Miss. He's gone far," he replied curtly.Fanny sighed in relief, a thin, meaningful smile curling on her lips. "Okay, bring the girl!" she ordered coldly, her gaze shifting to Emily, who lay helpless in the corner of the room.Emily tried to struggle, her body writhing in vain on the cold floor. "Mmmhhh..." Her screams were muffled by the cloth stuffed in her mouth, only the rustle of fear could be heard. Her wide eyes, filled with panic, welled up with tears as she watched Fanny approach with a terrifying gaze.Fanny’s men moved quickly, lifting
Married By Agreement Saving Emily
Marvin stepped into the company cafeteria, his forehead furrowed when he saw only Zaline and Daniel sitting together at one of the tables.“Just the two of you? Where’s Emily? Where did she go?” Marvin asked, his voice filled with confusion.Zaline and Daniel exchanged glances before Daniel responded, “She didn’t show up, and we haven’t heard anything from her.” He sighed, showing his phone to Marvin. “I’ve tried calling her several times, but her number’s not active.”Marvin frowned, a mix of confusion and concern crossing his face. “Did she request leave from the division head?” he asked, trying to find an explanation.Daniel shook his head, his expression mirroring the same confusion. “No, I even checked with the division head, and there’s no word from her today. It’s strange; she usually informs the division head if she’s not coming in.”Marvin remained silent for a moment, his mind racing through unpleasant possibilities. Without saying another word, he reached into his pocket an
Married By Agreement Kidnapped
Delvin gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other slapped his forehead in frustration. "Damn it, my phone! I left my phone in the room," he muttered, exasperated. He had just realized that his phone was still at Emily's apartment.Earlier, before heading out to pick Emily up from work, he had decided not to bring his phone because its battery was dead. So, he had plugged it in to charge. "How am I supposed to contact Emily without my phone?" Delvin grumbled, annoyed with himself.Quickly, he turned the steering wheel and headed back toward Emily's apartment.Delvin drove fast but cautiously.Delvin's car finally stopped in front of Emily's apartment building. He immediately got out of the car and looked around. His eyes fell on Emily, who was following someone wearing a black hoodie. Delvin's heart pounded with worry."Who is she with?" Delvin murmured, his lips pressing into a tight line. "She’s not sneaking around behind my back, is she?" Confused, Delvin decided to fo
Married By Agreement Finally Revealed
Delvin gently squeezed Emily's hand as they stood in front of the apartment building. The night was beginning to fall, wrapping the city in a blanket of twinkling lights in the distance.He gazed into his lover’s eyes, trying to ensure that Emily really didn’t mind his job that took up so much of his time. “Darling, I might be back a little late tonight,” he said softly, with a hint of worry in his tone. “Weekends are usually very busy at the restaurant. Are you okay with me leaving you alone for so long?”Emily, who had been attentively gazing at Delvin’s face, smiled faintly. The warmth in her eyes made Delvin feel slightly more at ease. "It’s fine," she replied in a soothing voice. “You always come home very late on weekends. I’m getting used to it.” Her sweet smile widened as she added, "Besides, before you, I was always alone. So, it’s okay, darling."Delvin sighed in relief, but there was still an uneasy feeling gnawing at his heart. He knew how hectic work was on weekends, but
Married By Agreement Blame Who
"Do you want to know something about Mrs. Daisy?" Marvin asked his father.Mr. Myron immediately set aside the cake he was holding. "Why?" he asked, his tone reflecting deep curiosity."A month ago, I happened to meet Mr. Emrick in detention. He was furious when he saw me and cursed at me—he cursed at me harshly and continuously, Dad."Mr. Myron's brow furrowed, his expression turning to confusion and concern. "Cursed at me too? Why?" he asked, clearly puzzled and not fully understanding the situation. "I don't feel like I ever caused him any trouble. I never communicated with him, so why would he curse at me? I haven't wronged him.""He hates you because of Mrs. Daisy," Marvin said.Mr. Myron raised an eyebrow, waiting for further explanation, but what Marvin said next was quite shocking."Apparently, during their marriage, Mrs. Daisy never loved him. Mr. Emrick said that Mrs. Daisy was indeed his wife, but her heart was never his. Even until she died, her heart still belonged to the
Married By Agreement Still In Search
Marvin glanced at Dariel, who was seated across from him, with a serious and tense expression.“It’s been over a month, and still no trace of her?” Marvin asked, his voice low but demanding.Dariel, slightly hunched over, slowly shook his head. “I suspect she’s fled the city, maybe even the country, with a fake identity. Just like what she did to the man at the scene of Lily’s accident. Damian too… he was a wanted man back then, wasn’t he? But he managed to leave the country with a fake identity,” Dariel explained, his tone filled with suspicion.Hearing this, Marvin felt the heavy burden on his shoulders growing even heavier. He leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh, trying to calm the turmoil inside him. “So what now? Just let her get away? No way!” Marvin declared firmly, his voice booming with restrained anger. “I want her behind bars, suffering even more than her father!”Dariel looked at Marvin calmly, understanding his friend’s anger and frustration. “I’ve already s
