Married By Agreement Chapter 11. Make Him Unsuspecting
"Are you guys up to something with me?" Damian asked, his eyes wide open and teeth bared. Mia swallowed nervously. "You deliberately accepted a deal with me to get revenge. And behind that, you have Stella and Mr. Marvin helping you," Damian said. "I only found out about Stella and Mr. Marvin's relationship this morning, and I told them about our deal," Mia replied. "Stella was furious at me, then revealed that the debt had already been paid by Mr. Marvin." Damian's brows furrowed. "So?" "This morning we met with Mr. Marvin, and asked for his help in canceling the deal with you. Unfortunately, that damn Marvin didn't want to help because the deal was already signed, it would be very difficult to cancel it. He was afraid you would demand a lot from him later," Mia said, pretending to be annoyed. "So he won't help you?" asked Damian. "No!" replied Mia, looking annoyed. She sat back with her arms folded under her chest. "He said he's already spent a lot of money paying off t
Married By Agreement Chapter 12. Preparing for Wedding
A few days later. Stella and Mia got into the car that was waiting in front of the apartment. One of Mr. Marvin's bodyguards picked them up to take them to the company. "Why do you think Mr. Marvin asked us to come?" Mia asked Stella, who was sitting next to her. "Probably to talk about the wedding. What else could it be?" Stella replied in a casual tone. She turned her head to look out the window and saw that the streets were very crowded even though it was already working hours. "Aren't you happy to be marrying Mr. Marvin?" asked Mia when she noticed Stella's indifferent expression. Stella immediately turned to look at Mia. "I'm getting married to a man I've only known for less than two weeks. What's there to be happy about? I don't love him at all. I never even imagined that I would marry a man this way." "Mr. Marvin is so perfect as a man. Aren't you attracted to him at all?" "He's still stuck in his past. He agreed to marry me to take revenge for Lily's death. He said Lily
Married By Agreement Chapter 13. Make You Fall in Love
"That quickly?" Stella stared at Marvin in shock. Marvin nodded. "The sooner, the better." "But how can it be done as soon as tomorrow?" Stella asked softly. "Nothing is difficult for me, everything is easy. Especially when money rules everything," Marvin answered. "Oh, okay," Stella nodding in understanding. Marvin was right. "Anything else? Any more questions?" Stella shook her head. "No." Marvin turned to Mia. "Any progress with your agreement with Damian?" "Not yet," Mia replied. "He hasn't talked about the wedding, he just said he would prepare for it soon. Yesterday afternoon, after I got back to my apartment, Damian asked to meet. I thought he wanted to discuss the agreement or the wedding, but it wasn't about that." "What did he talk to you about?" Marvin asked. "Your relationship with Stella," Mia answered. "He said he found out from Mr. William. Mr. William blamed him for the canceled contract with Esther. You were careless, Sir. Damian was suspicious of us." "Susp
Married By Agreement Chapter 14. Fascinated by Stella's Beauty
Stella came out of the bathroom, walked towards the walk-in closet. "Stella...!" Her bedroom door suddenly opened. Marvin stood there, looking shocked and stunned when he saw Stella’s body covered only by a towel. He swallowed hard at the sight of her, her wet and messy hair stirring his instincts as a man. "Couldn't you knock first, Sir?" Stella asked, clutching the towel tightly over her chest, speaking through gritted teeth. "Wh—why wasn’t the door locked?" Marvin responded with a question instead of answering. Stella narrowed her eyes at Marvin's question. "O—okay... sorry," Marvin said, closing Stella’s bedroom door again. Stella rolled her eyes, then continued choosing her clothes. "Wow!" Stella looked in awe at the clothes in the closet. "Did Marvin prepare these?" Stella tried on various outfits. Although she used to be well-off, her wardrobe mostly consisted of t-shirts and pants, with only a few skirts that she rarely wore. Finally, Stella picked a dress and put it
Married By Agreement Chapter 15. Meeting an Ex
"Okay, if you understand, I’m hanging up." Click! Marvin ended the call and looked around as his driver stopped the car in the restaurant parking lot Stella had mentioned. For some reason, he had asked the driver to take him to the restaurant instead of the office. Even though what Stella was doing wasn’t part of his plan, he still felt the urge to follow her. After a short moment, he got out of the car. He saw Stella walking quickly, deliberately bumping into Damian. "She's started her act," Marvin murmured, crossing his arms and watching as Stella extended her hand to Damian. Marvin stayed where he was, calmly observing the scene in front of him. He noticed Damian’s shocked expression as he saw Stella’s new look. Marvin's eyes narrowed when he saw Damian looking at Stella’s body with an intense gaze. "I think he still has feelings for my wife," Marvin murmured. His eyes narrowed further when he saw Damian’s lips curl into a reverse crescent. Finally, Marvin walked closer to t
Married By Agreement Chapter 16. Carrying Out Missions One By One
"Mia said her meeting with Damian at the restaurant yesterday was to discuss their wedding," Stella said as she ate breakfast with Marvin. "Damian got angry at Mia for not telling him we were already married." "And? What did your sister say?" Marvin asked. "Mia told Damian that the wedding was private and that you requested it not be publicized. Damian wasn’t suspicious at all since you had said that before," Stella explained. Marvin nodded. "Good." "Why not spread the news of our marriage? Wouldn’t it be beneficial if Fanny heard about it? Why keep it hidden?" Stella asked, placing her spoon and fork on her plate and looking at Marvin seriously. "We need to tackle our mission step by step to ensure it's easier, well-planned, and thorough. Let’s deal with Damian first, then we’ll move on to destroying Fanny. If issues arise simultaneously and we’re not well-prepared, we’ll lose before we even start." Marvin placed his spoon and fork on his plate and looked at Stella. "Fann
Married By Agreement Chapter 17. Stella's Stupidity
Marvin entered his house and walked towards the living room, which was empty. Not a single person was there. "Miss Bertha?" Marvin called out, half shouting for his housekeeper. "Yes, Sir?" A woman in her mid-thirties suddenly appeared, approaching Marvin. "What is it, Sir? Are you ready to eat now?" she asked. "No," Marvin replied. "Where’s Stella? Is she in her room?" "Mrs. Stella?" "Yes, where is she? Is she in her room?" Marvin asked again. "Mrs. Stella is upstairs, Sir," Miss Bertha said, looking flustered. Marvin frowned at the woman’s flustered tone, then he walked towards the stairs and climbed up to Stella’s room. He knocked several times, frowning when there was no answer. "Stella? Are you in there?" Marvin asked, but there was still no answer. He opened the door, and the room was empty. "She’s not here," Marvin muttered. Marvin walked back downstairs and approached Miss Bertha, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner. "Stella isn’t in her room. Where is she?" Mar
Married By Agreement Chapter 18. Dinner with Ex and Husband
"How do I look? Am I beautiful?" Stella asked. Marvin looked Stella up and down. "Not quite perfect yet." "Then how should I dress, Sir?" Stella looking disappointed by Marvin's comment. Marvin scrutinized what might be wrong with Stella. The dress she was wearing was perfect. It was a short, sleeveless dress with straps on the sides, ending slightly above her knees. Marvin glanced at the heels Stella wore, and they were also perfect, matching the color of her dress. "What’s wrong, Sir? My makeup? Is it too thick? My lipstick? Is it not bright enough? Should I use a bolder color?" Stella asked again. Marvin examined Stella's face closely. There was nothing wrong with her makeup. It looked natural and not thick at all. "I’ll change into something sexier. Tonight, I have to look very beautiful in front of Damian so that he regrets hurting me," Stella said, about to turn around, but Marvin grabbed her wrist first. Stella immediately looked at her hand that Marvin was holding. "Yo

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.

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.

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

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?"

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
