Chapter 3: Marry Me

After crying his eyes out, life still had to go on.

Cole Stone contacted an agent to sell the house.

Sky City was one of the four biggest cities in the state.

Housing was expensive but the liquidity of the market was high as well.

Cole Stone believed that he would be able to take back his deposit soon enough.

But after making the call, Cole Stone’s heart turned as cold as an icy cavern.

The white lights from the ceiling were blinding.

The light they radiated was so hot that it put Cole Stone in a trance.

Cole Stone’s eyes were dead. “Did you guys have to be this cruel?”

The agent told him that James Lewis had made use of his family’s power to put Cole Stone on the blacklist of the market in Sky City.

His house was like a hot potato right now.

Nobody was willing to buy it.

On top of that, after having recently been fired…

He would certainly find it hard to find a job in the gym industry he was familiar with.

Although the Lewis family was not an elite family in Sky City, they were still rather powerful.

Cole Stone who had neither backing nor wealth could do nothing against them.

He was now at the end of his rope.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a person.

Cara Williams.

She was a beautiful 35-year-old student who had attended his private class from that gym.

The helm of the Williams family, one of the six major families in Sky City.

Cole Stone sucked in a deep breath.

Cara Williams once told him that he could give her a call whenever he wanted to stop fighting against the currents so hard.

At that time, Cole Stone was overworked every day.

He had to take more jobs for his marriage. Naturally, he did not pay attention to her words.

But now, it seemed to have become his only way out of this quagmire.

Only someone from the six major families would be able to ignore the Lewis family.

Looking at Cara Williams’ number, Cole Stone smiled bitterly.

‘She might have said those words back then and it might still hold true!’

‘But it doesn’t mean that she’ll willingly offend someone else for you…’

Cole Stone told himself.

After a long hesitation, Cole Stone finally made the call.

He had to try, at the least.

“Hi.”

A lazy female voice with a mature charm answered.

“Miss Williams, it’s me.” Cole Stone was nervous.

Cara Williams replied, “Oh, Cole. Why are you calling me?”

“I want to sell my house to pay off my debts…”

“I was wondering if Miss Williams can help me.” Cole Stone clarified.

Cara Williams teased. “To pay off your debts? Why don’t I just help you directly?”

Cole Stone laughed bitterly. “No thanks, Miss Williams…”

“I just want to sell the house to pay them off.”

Although he knew that this 650-plus-square-foot house was nothing to Cara Williams, he did not want to be a freeloader.

Cole Stone laughed at himself.

Who was he to still insist on holding on to his dignity?

“Weren’t you getting married? Why are you selling your house all of a sudden? Is Jane Smith making things difficult for you?” Cara Williams was curious.

“No…”

Cole Stone’s face darkened. “We broke up due to some matters. I can’t find a job for now so I am unable to afford the mortgage for the house.”

He intentionally avoided the crux of the matter.

Even if they had broken up, he could not give up on all his feelings immediately just like what Jane Smith had done.

Understandably so, he still couldn’t talk bad about his ex-girlfriend to others.

Cara Williams teased. “Cole, you still won’t tell me the truth? How am I supposed to help you if you’re like this?”

Cole Stone was stunned.

Her words meant that she already knew the truth and wanted him to stop defending Jane Smith.

Otherwise, she would not help him.

He hesitated for a moment. The persistence in his heart wavered. But after a long silence, he relented. “Jane dumped me to be with the son of the Lewis family over her little brother’s dowry. I’ve offended them and I’m now unable to find a job to repay my debts.”

Cole Stone felt a piercing pain in his heart as he used all of his strength to squeeze these words out of his throat.

Just a second ago, he was still persistent on saying nothing bad about Jane Smith.

A second later, he became nothing but a joke!

“Okay.”

Cara Williams smiled faintly and her voice became gentle yet powerful. “If that’s the case, I’ll help you pay your mortgage. It’s not that difficult for me.”

“But I have a favor to ask you.”

Cole Stone took a deep breath.

“Miss Williams, please state your request. I’ll definitely do anything within my capabilities.”

“Don’t get too anxious now. My request is very simple.”

“You just have to—”

“—Marry me.”

Cara Williams’s words sounded mellow, but the message she sent across was startling.

Cole Stone’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “What?!”

…

9.30 PM.

Cole Stone climbed into the car listlessly.

“Mr Cole, Miss Williams is waiting for you at Williams Corporation.”

The chauffeur smiled warmly as he looked at the rearview mirror.

Cole Stone nodded. “Okay.”

His mind was a mess.

Never would he have dreamt that Cara Williams would make such a request.

Cara Williams was the helm of the Williams family and she was the eldest daughter. As she was very capable, she took over as the chairperson of the Williams Corporation at the age of 25 when the previous leader passed away.

Back then, everyone in Sky City was busy trying to guess just what kind of person would be able to marry the queen of the Williams Corporation.

Everybody thought that the person would have to come from the six major families at the very least.

Some also thought that Cara Williams might marry a commoner out of love.

After all, she already had sole control over the Williams and was filthy rich, so there was no need for her to sacrifice herself for any political marriage.

But ten years flashed by and Cara Williams remained single.

She seemed to not even have any plans to marry.

This made the people of Sky City question her sexuality.

Some of them even gossiped that she had many private trysts.

When Cara Williams was still his student, Cole Stone even talked with Jane Smith about when her marriage would be.

However…

Cole Stone did not expect that Cara Williams’ groom would actually be him.

With his head filled with worries, Cole Stone arrived at Williams Corporation.

Standing outside, Cole Stone lifted his head and could only see a sea of darkness from the top floors, except for one room which was brightly lit.

Cara Williams was definitely in there!
