Chapter 15
Arya frowned and locked eyes with the man’s sharp gare. “Are yo
you threatening me?”
Her eyelashes were thick and long, like they’d been stained with ink, incredibly enchanting.
Finn couldn’t help raising his slender fingers to touch these distinct eyelashes gently, his eyes, mysterious and cleep like black holes. He looked at her with a faint smile. “You broke your promise first”
His voice was calm, but the coldness in it hinted at extreme danger.
The implication was clear–if Arya didn’t marry him, he’d destroy the Miracle Pill K
Arya, even with her strong will, was intimidated by the chilling aura around him.
She knew Finn wasn’t joking, if she didn’t agree, he’d personally destroy the pill worth millions of dollars.
Though that was just a few pieces of her work’s income, the pill in Finn’s hand was the last one in the world.
“I’m giving you throw seconds to think it over.” The handsome, cold man narrowed his deep eyes, watching the thoughtful girl.
His grip on the pill tightened. “Three, two…”
“I agree!” Arya spoke calmly just before the man could count to one.
Truthfully, this was her first time being threatened like this, and she had to give in.
But with her father’s life hanging by a thread, she couldn’t afford to waste time.
Besides, many socialites dreamed of marrying someone rich and handsome like Finn, so she might even be gaining something here.
And even if they married, they could always divorce later.
Realizing this, she felt a sense of relief. “But I have a condition: our marriage can’t be public, and you can’t interfere with my life.”
Once made public, her identity would be exposed, possibly causing a storm
For now,
she just wanted to stay with her parents and focus on her father’s treatment. The other stuff could wait.
“Marrying me is a huge sacrifice to you?” Clearly, Finn wasn’t happy with her demand.
‘As the third heir of the Barnett family, am I not worthy of being her husband in public? he complained inwardly,
“Of course not.” Arya had to use her current identity as an excuse. “I’m now studying at Flodes Medical University. Let’s talk about it after I graduate next year.”
By then, maybe they’d already divorced, and there’d be no need
worry about public exposure,
“Sure.” The aloof, noble man suddenly reached out, lifted her chin, and gave her a light kiss on the lips.
His gaze grew heated. “But you have to fulfill your duties as a wife.”
His deep, husky voice carried a familiar pheromone vibe.
When Arya looked up, she locked eyes with his intense, predatory gaze.
At that moment, she could guess what the jerk was thinking.
Chapter 15
“What a pervert! Earlier, someone at the event actually whispered he wasn’t good in bed? I think he’s way too good the murmured Inwinny,
With this thought, she simply replied in a matter of fact tone, “Not during ovulation ”
If she got pregnant with this jelk’s baby, it’d be hard to leave in the future.
“Deal!” Finn’s eyes crinkled with a faint smile
He placed the black pill back in its brocade box and handed it to her with his strong, well–defined hand. ” pick you up at tomorrow.”
Arya took the box without hesitation, asking instinctively, “Where to?”
“City hall.”
Arya’s eyebrows shot up at the word. So eager to get the maniage certificate/she wondered
But she kept her cool, saying casually, “Alright, I’m going home now.”
As she turned to leave, a powerful hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into an embrace,
Then his warm lips pressed down.
Just as Arya thought the jerk was horny enough to hanky–panky right here, she suddenly felt a cold touch on her middle finger
She looked down and saw that Finn had already slipped the dazzling “Aurora” onto her middle finger.
Not too big, not too small, it fit perfectly.
Her pale, smooth finger, set off by Aurora, looked like an unparalleled masterpiece of art, tailor–made for her.
To Arya’s surprise, after five years without seeing each other, Leo’s jewelry design had improved so much.
“From now on, you’re mine.” A deep, sexy, and alluring voice whispered in her ear. “You’re not to take off this ring without my permission!”
The tall man, with an innate aura that couldn’t be ignored, casually dropped some classic bossy lines.
Arya raised an eyebrow, asking, “Are you proposing to me?”
“You can take it as a proposal.” Finn gazed at her with a profound look.
Arya couldn’t help but chuckle. “What an unprecedented proposal, I’d say.”
‘In typical proposals, isn’t it customary for the guy to first kneel on one knee, then hold the ring with affection in his eyes, waiting for the girl’s consent?
But he just forcefully pulled me into his arms and slipped the ring onto my finger without my consent?
To an outsider, it might look like a forced marriage.
Though, in our case, we aren’t exactly a couple, and he is indeed forcing the issue,” she thought to herself.
“You don’t like it?” Finn lowered his eyes, his intense gaze unwavering
“No! I like it!” Arya replied half–heartedly. “Mr. Barnett, I gotta go now?
Whether she liked the ring or not didn’t matter, what was important was that she had to rush back to give her father the pill.
by tucked
“I’m glad you like it.” Finn gently tucked a strand of hair behind Arya’s ear, his voice low and deep.
- p. “It’s getting late; I’ll take you home.”
“No, thanks
Arya refused without hesitation. “Just because I agreed to marry you doesn’t mean you can control my life.”

Chapter 15
Before she finished, Arya had already opened the door and left,
By the time Finn stepped out, she was nowhere to be seen in the vast hall
Instead of getting angry, Finn put on a faint smile. “Little minx, running off so fast.”
His mood was oddly uplifted at that moment.
Thinking about having a tempting little kitten in his life from now on, he couldn’t help but look forward to how interesting life would be!
When Arya returned home after removing her makeup and changing clothes, she found Jared sitting on the living room sofa, playing the elder as he chatted with Travis,
Travis’s handsome face was full of gloom, clearly annoyed by Jared’s words.
