Chapter 1. Meeting an Annoying Man

"DON'T RUN AWAY!""Damn it!"Stella escaped from two burly men who were chasing her. She ran into an alley and hid in the neighborhood's public bathroom. Quickly, she took the cell phone and called someone."Leave the house now. Wait for me at the red light intersection near the bakery. Bring our clothes too!"Without waiting for her sister Mia's response, she immediately switched off the phone. The draining incident made her lean her head against the door while catching her breath.After feeling that it was safe, she opened the door slowly while peeking out. She stepped slowly, observing the surroundings warily."Looks like I'm safe," she muttered, then walked quickly to meet her sister at the place she had mentioned earlier."HEY! DON'T RUN AWAY!"She immediately looked back, saw the people who had been chasing her coming out of another alley and running towards her."Damn it!" she shouted, then ran again as fast as she could to avoid them.After running for quite some distance, her

"Damian! Stop!" said Stella as she crossed the street.Damian immediately stopped walking, turning his head to the woman who was walking towards him."Uh, sweetheart? Why are you here?" He smiled.She looked at him sarcastically."Why, darling? Did you change your mind about my offer yesterday?" He asked."Yuck!" She grabbed him by the collar and pulled him roughly.Instead of being angry and upset, he smiled sweetly."Give me back all of my father's possessions!" she said through gritted teeth.He gently removed her hand from his collar. "Something that already belongs to someone else can't be given back to its owner, sweetheart. Don't blame me, blame your father. Why was he foolish enough to trust me with all his business," he said, still smiling sweetly.Her hands were clenched tightly, the sight of Damian smiling disgusted her even more, and the fire of hatred grew."Or put it this way, accept my offer to be my wife. Give your body to me. I'll give ten percent of treasure to you a

Marvin asked."It's about Lily."Marvin immediately swallowed his saliva when Dariel mentioned a woman's name. "Wh-why?"Dariel got up from his seat and walked over to Marvin, then whispered in Marvin's ear."...""What?!" Marvin got up from his seat and stood straight, looking at Dariel with a very surprised look. "Are you serious?""More than serious." Dariel replied."How did you find out?

He also mentioned that Stella should have disclosed her debt, so he could settle it without causing embarrassment.""Why don't you find out first!

"You're home already? How strange, you're usually home late at night." Stella remarked upon entering the rental house and seeing Mia sitting on the carpet playing with her cell phone."I have something to talk to you about." Mia said, putting down the phone and looking at Stella seriously."Same here, I want to talk to you too." Stella replied, settling down on the carpet."Well, you go ahead and talk.""No, Mia. What I have to say will take some time, so please, you go ahead." Stella suggested."What I have to say will also be lengthy.""Instead of debating about it, why don't you go first? I promise to listen no matter how long it takes. We have plenty of time anyway. So, what's on your mind?""Okay." Mia replied, her eyes briefly closing as she caught her breath.

What kind of deal?""He offe

Chapter 7. How About Exchanging Deals

"Mr. Marvin should be able to help us, right?" asked Mia."I don't know," replied Stella while putting on her socks. She was getting ready to see Mr. Marvin and discuss their deal. "He's willing to make a deal with me because there are benefits for him. If he helps you, what will he gain? I don't think so.""Huft..." Mia exhaled very harshly."But there's no harm in trying. Come with me to meet Mr. Marvin and let's talk to him. Who knows, he might be willing to help.""I'm not sure since there's no benefit for him, but never mind. There's no harm in trying first. At least we'll have tried."Stella nodded, then got up, as did Mia.

Chapter 8. Stay or Leave After Mission Completion

"About your idea of switching positions. I'm sorry, I can't," Marvin said. "I made a deal with Stella from the beginning. So the woman I'm going to marry is her, not you, and that's inviolable."Mia pursed her lips. She really wished she could switch positions so that she could marry Marvin, who was a perfect man."Besides, you made that mistake knowingly, didn't you? You already knew Damian wasn't a good person but still made the deal. As for Stella, she did make a mistake, but she didn't know that Damian was a bad person. If she had known he was a jerk, she wouldn't have fallen for him."Stella who heard Marvin defending her, smiled. Mia now looked very upset."Okay! So what about me, what's the solution? I don't want to marry Damian either. Give me a solution," Mia said."What do I have to gain by helping you, hm?" asked Marvin. "I made the deal with your sister because it had a mutually beneficial goal and mission, and I think you'll enjoy it later too. So if I help you now, what

Chapter 9. Helping Each Other

Stella looked at Marvin with furrowed brows as he said he would never fall for a woman again."After the mission is successful, you are free to choose your options. I allow you to stay in my house and enjoy all the facilities as long as you don't interfere with what I'm doing."Stella nodded in understanding. "Since it happens in the future, we'll see how it goes.""One more thing," Marvin said."What?"Don't expect more from me. Don't put your heart into me and never involve love."Stella turned her gaze in another direction and smiled sadly. She looked back at Marvin again. "You are numb, right? Then it's the same. Damian made me reluctant to fall in love with a man again. All men are jerks!""So you're calling me a jerk?" asked Marvin with narrowed eyes.Stella swallowed hard. "You're on the exclusion list," she said with a smirk.Marvin was still squinting and glaring sarcastically. Stella went back to reading the contents of the agreement, then when she finished, she looked back

Chapter 10. In Danger Too

"He killed the person I care about the most," said Marvin, his eyes piercing."Who?" asked Stella. "Your lover?"Stella and Mia glanced at Marvin, their expressions serious, wondering who he was referring to."Yes, Lily... she's my lover whom I love very much," Marvin replied. "I just found out that the accident that happened to Lily eight months ago wasn't purely an accident, but it was due to Fanny's interference. That damn woman managed to make it look like an accident, and she did it very cleanly.""Is she so deeply in love with you, sir, that she would take someone's life?" asked Stella."That's not love! It's obsession!" Marvin retorted, locking eyes with Stella. "So, I need your help, Stella. Help me bring down Fanny for killing Lily, and I'll assist you in reclaiming your property rights and even dealing with Damian.""Wait, does that mean Fanny killed Lily out of jealousy, wanting to possess you entirely?" Mia finally spoke up. "Fanny eliminated Lily because she saw her as a
