1. Rely on Each Other

Isabela’s lips pressed tightly. Her nose flared to compensate for the shortness of her breath. “You really prefer her?”

“Of course.”

The model’s cynical laughter erupted again. “Okay, don’t blame me if something bad happens to you two. I’ve reminded you. But if you want to change, there’s still time left, Hubby. Think wisely. Don’t let this cunning woman brainwash you.

After taking a deep breath, Isabela put a sly smile on her face. “Vidi….

A man wearing a bowler hat stepped in.

“Hand over all the money in your wallet.” Isabela raised her hands. A moment later, a wad of money landed in her grasp.

“Thank you for entertaining my fiance in my absence. Now that I’m back, you should come to your senses. Here… accept your payment and stay away from him.”

Isabela threw money in Kara’s face. The poor girl could only gasp. Her eyes shook as she watched the top model leave. Everything still felt like a nightmare to her.

“Since she has gone, shall we celebrate it? I think this is our first day.” Frank teased Kara with a crooked smile.

Kara blinked. With gloomy face, she turned to Frank. “Are you happy? Are you satisfied that you plunged me into the abyss?”

Frank put his hands in his pockets and shook his head. “I’m not

trapping you, but saving you. More precisely, we can both rely on each other.”

“You kill me….” Kara concluded softly. She was really tired. The threat was bigger now.

Previously, she intended to prove that she could disappear and not interfere in Frank’s life again. Rowan might have let her off the hook or even supported her leaving.

But now, it was impossible for the old man to give her any ease. Kara was considered an enemy who must be destroyed immediately.

“Okay, let’s make it clear. We can use each other. I can protect you, and you ….” Frank suddenly leaned closer to Kara’s ear. “You can help me escape from the arranged marriage. Pretend to be my lover.”

“You’re out of your mind, hmm? Your fiancee is so perfect. No one will believe that you can turn your back on her. Your plan won’t work and I don’t want to be a victim.”

Frank stepped lightly towards his desk. “You don’t need to be afraid. I won’t go back on my word. We can arrange it in the contract.” He pulled out a piece of paper and started writing.

“What contract?” Kara shook her head, not understanding.

“The agreement between the two of us. You have to help me convince people that our love is unbreakable. Once we succeed in gaining public sympathy, canceling my engagement with Isabela won’t be a big problem.”

Kara was about to argue, but Frank already continued. “In return, I will protect you and your family. You love your mother very much, right? If you agree to this contract, I will not let my grandfather disturb her.”

Kara was silent. She realized, she couldn’t rely on herself. Rowan was too strong for her. The only way to survive was to rely on Frank.
