“Hope, please wait, this is all for you, just open it.” Lucas gave her a suitcase.

“What's that?” Hope immediately opened the suitcase.

But she was surprised after opening the contents of the suitcase, which contains a lot of money.

“B-but this is a lot, how can I pay it back to you?” Hope was touched.

“That's okay, you don't need to change it, as written in the contract agreement, my property is part of yours too, so get used to it.”

“Thank you so much.” Hope immediately ran into her dad's room.

Hope also didn't immediately forget to pay for her dad's surgery and treatment costs so that he will get the surgery soon.

As soon as she arrived, she sobbed uncontrollably when she saw her dad lying weak and in a coma on the bed.

“Hope, your dad needs funds for his surgery and treatment, if we don't his condition will get worst.”

“I know mom, I understand, I have been paying for all of his surgery and he will get the surgery 15 minutes from now because the doctor still checks his blood.”

“And mom, here is some money for you, just take it.”

“This is a lot, where did you get it?”

“I just got my salary from Skylar's company that's my hard work but just take it, I want all the best for you and dad.”

Hope to hug her so tight and feel her, she feels so sad about everything that happened, but she hopes her dad will recover soon.

Then not long after, Lucas came to their room.

“Hope, and mom, are the guys okay?”

“Hope, who is that handsome guy?”

“I'm Lucas Anderson, your daughter's fiancée, and we will get married soon.”

“Oh okay, that's good, I hope all the best for your relationship with my daughter and if you want to get married soon, tell me immediately.”

“Yes, mom, we will get married soon.”

Hope to hug her dad and mom so tight before she goes.

“Mom and dad, I'm so sorry, I need to go.” Hope looks so sad and says goodbye to her parents, even though she was not ready.

“Yes Hope, and we love you very much, we hope all the best for your journey, and thanks for your help, I hope your boyfriend was the good man for you.”

But she followed all the rules that Lucas has been given to her because she already signed the marriage contract to help with her dad's surgery and treatment.

She has no money for her dad's surgery, but she does the best as much as she can.

Hope feels so sad she wants her, knew about everything that had happened, but she never regretted it all because she wants all the best for her family.

“I will take you into my mansion, later you will stay there with me after our marriage tomorrow,” Lucas said.

“Okay, thank you so much.” Hope looks so sad and didn't enthusiastic, she just gets forced into the marriage agreement, she didn't fall in love with him, and she still feels heartbroken.

“And hopefully, I want you to know, that you and I are going to get married very soon, I promise.” Lucas smiled at her.

After talking about their plans, they both went to Lucas's mansion to prepare for his wedding.

Both Hope and Lucas were so nervous, what if his father wouldn't like the idea? What if Lucas's father doesn't approve?

Hope was thinking all these, as she waited in front of the door of Lucas Mansion while holding his hand.

Suddenly, she heard a loud noise of someone running down the stairs. Then she saw Lucas walking down, holding her by her waist.

When he reached her side, he kisses her cheek and give her a big smile.

He then took out a big black box and put it on the floor.

“Hope, this is a ring, I want you to wear it whenever you're with me.” He took a step back and opens the box and show a diamond ring with three emerald stones on it.

She takes the ring in her hand and admires it. She felt so happy seeing this.

“It's beautiful.”

Lucas then grabs her hand and kisses it lightly.

“Will you marry me?” Lucas asked, he was so nervous, and he wanted her to answer right away.

“Lucas.” She looked into his eyes.

“I'll marry you.” Her response made Lucas's heart beat faster than it ever did.

He grabbed Hope's left hand and kissed it.

“Thank you.”

Lucas then took Hope in his arms and hugged her. Hope hugged back and felt comfortable.

The moment they parted, both of them were smiling brightly.

They both went inside Anderson's mansion and then went to Lucas's room and prepared themselves, for their wedding tomorrow.

“So, this is my room, you can rest wherever you want.” Lucas walked her to the corner of the room, and pointed to the spot where he usually sleeps when he comes back home.

“You want me sleeping here?” Hope asks confusedly.

“Yes, we're sharing this house, so I want you to be near me, so I won't feel lonely.” Lucas blushed slightly.

“Okay, Lucas.” Hope smile and walk into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she goes to Lucas's room and finds him asleep.

Hope feels sad and feels not ready to get married, this is forced on her, and she is afraid of being hurt for a second time because of heartbreak.

But she needs to do all these things because of their marriage contract, and she agrees to marry him.

Because Lucas has such a great reputation, his father owns many companies, he is also an investor in several companies and also very dangerous, he

In the end, Hope chooses to marry Lucas because of him, her father would have died without the money. What's she doesn't have that much?

Hope will still face everything, she is sure that everything will be alright because she cannot escape from any decisions she made.
