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 eyes caught at the car that was stopped at the traffic light. She couldn't possibly run in the previous direction because she would only get caught, nor could she run the other way which would make her even further away from the appointment with her sister.

She knocked on the windshield and said, "Help! Please help me!"

The windshield opened. "What are you doing, huh?" asked a man who was driving the car.

"Open the door and let me in. I need your help," she said while her eyes looking at the man who was still chasing her. "Come on..."

"You're crazy, huh?"

"I'm in my right mind, sir. I just need your help," she said desperately.

Right at that moment, the red light turned green. The sound of car horns from behind began to blare, urging his to move.

"Damn it!" The man cursed in annoyance, forced to open his car door.

She got into the car and sat back. "I'm safe," she muttered.

The car finally drove through the red light.

"Thank you."

The man didn't answer. He continued driving until the car stopped in the left lane.

"Why did you stop?" she asked.

"You got into my car to avoid the people who were chasing you, right? Now they're far behind and there's no way they'll catch up with you. Now get out of my car!"

"Can't you take me to the intersection ahead, sir? I have to meet my sister who is waiting for me there."

"No! Get out of my car!"

"But, sir..." The speech was interrupted as her eyes caught sight of a man walking across the street. She knew the man, he was Damian. "Damn jerk!" she swore irritably.

"What did you say? Damn jerk?" asked the man in the car, looking at her with a shocked expression. "I helped you, and you call me damn jerk? You're so ungrateful!"

"Huh? It's not like that, sir. It's not you, it's that man behind." She pointing at Damian.

The man turned to look in the direction she was pointing, seeing a man who was walking alone. He didn't give much attention and redirected his gaze back to her. "I don't accept excuses! Now get out of my car!" he said sarcastically, giving her an annoyed look.

She started to get annoyed, after had been speaking as softly as possible. "I'm going out. Thank you for helping me. My advice is, don't be so arrogant, or you'll be far from your soulmate!"

She got out of the car, closed the door roughly, then crossed the street to meet Damian.

Marvin, the man whose car Stella was riding in, closed his eyes as her closed the door very rudely.

"Damn!" He snorted sarcastically.

Beep-beep...

He reached into the pocket of his suit-covered shirt, took out his cell phone, and stared at the screen. Dariel's name was displayed. He immediately swiped the green panel on his phone screen.

[I've managed to get the data of who your lover's affair was. I'll send you the man's picture now.]

Not long after that, Dariel sent the picture. Immediately clicking on it, his forehead frowned. At the same moment, he turned his head to the right and saw the woman who had been in his car earlier arguing with a man.

The same man as the one on his cell phone screen. He continued to pay attention to the argument. Shortly after, he witnessed the woman landing a slap on the man's cheek, followed by a knee to the man's stomach. The man groaned in pain, clutching his stomach.

He smiled and grinned, then glanced back at his cell phone screen and put it to his ear.

"Riel, find out who this man is, including any women he's been close to."

After giving a command, he switched off the phone, then drove back to Esther Company, his family-owned business now under his control.

Chapter 2. Accept My Agreement
"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, who was sitting with his eyes looking straight at the laptop screen, immediately raised his gaze when he heard the sound of the door being opened. He saw Dariel approaching him with hurriedly."Couldn't you have knocked first? Just startled me!" Marvin said."I'm sorry, sir. I have news for you, either good news or bad news." Dariel said. He sat on the chair opposite Marvin.Marvin, who was sitting back, frowned. He straightened his back, put his hands on the table and looked at Dariel in confusion."What's wrong?" 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? Did you find out the truth?"Dariel shook his head. "It happened a long ti

Chapter 5. Agreement Before Marriage
"Wait, so one of the Jaffin daughters is Mr. Marvin's lover?" William said, the 35-year-old man who had been hiring people to go after Stella and Mia."Yes, Boss. It appears that way. We overheard the man addressing the woman with affection. 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 should have—""Our job is to collect debts, not look for information!" The man interjected. "Now, hurry up and pay for our work, so we can leave this place!""Damn it!" William exclaimed, his fists clenched tightly. He walk over to the desk, opened the drawer, and retrieved a brown envelope to give to the men."Mr. Marvin also mentioned, if you want to take the blame, just blame Damian.""Damian?"Without hesitation, William grabbed the cell phone lying on the table and dialed Damian's number.***"What is the meaning of this? Why did you unilaterally cancel our partnership?" Damian demanded angrily

Chapter 6. Make a Deal Too
"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. Then, she fixed her gaze on Stella. "Damian came to see me earlier.""Huh? What?" Stella exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. "What did he want?""He proposed a deal." Mia explained."A deal? 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. They left their rented house and walked to Esther Company.30 minutes later.Stella and Mia got out of the taxi that they had booked online earlier. They stood in front of the company."Wow... the company is bigger than Dixon, Sis.""It doesn't matter if it's big or small. Let's go!"

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
