- In Love with You
Frank swallowed bitterly. He was angry when Ben revealed the truth.
He felt that Kara had betrayed him and secretly laughed at his
stupidity. He thought the girl had deliberately tricked him out of
revenge.
However, when he realized that his secretary had no evil intentions, he was relieved. Frank was even happy because the girl who had stolen his heart turned out to be the girl he had previously touched. They had shared the same history even though there were ma things that need to be improved.

“Don’t you understand, Kara?” Frank held Kara’s shoulders, leveling their gazes. He hoped his sincerity could be seen by her. “I’m really sorry. If only I could turn back the time, I wouldn’t leave you. I was still a coward who only fought to fulfill my grandfather’s demands at that
time.”
Kara looked away. She had harbored resentment for years. Now she could no longer keep it. She didn’t want to forgive easily. A man as arrogant as Frank Harper was not worthy of pity.
“Now please tell me,” Frank coaxed in a soft voice, “what do you want me to do so you won’t be angry with me anymore?”
Kara didn’t answer. Her lips were pressed tightly, while her shoulders rose and fell in response to the anger. But gently, Frank turned her gaze to meet his.
“Please, Kara, tell me… How can I get your forgiveness?”
“You think that’s easy?” Kara replied with tears welling up on her eyes. “You don’t even know what kind of suffering I experienced as a result of your actions.”
“Okay, just say it. What should I pay? No matter how hard it is, I will do it. The important thing is you want to forgive me.”
Kara raised her chin slightly. “Then let me go. Let me disappear from your life. Only in that way, I can forget the bitterness in my life.”
“No, Kara,” Frank sighed pitifully. “That’s not a good way out.”
“You can’t threaten and bully me forever, Frank Harper. Even though I don’t have a high status or abundant wealth, I still have dignity and feelings. So, stop playing with me. Right now, open this door and let me go.”
Frank looked down, closing his eyes for a moment. He was on the verge of despair. “Okay, I promise I won’t play with you anymore. I will not give you strange tasks or make you a laughing stock, and you don’t need to be my servant anymore. I promise.”
Frank nodded confidently. However, Kara took a deep breath. She didn’t need those sweet lies.
“Open the door! Now!”
“No,” Frank said without thinking. “Not before you agree to my request. Promise to stay by my side.”
Kara sighed in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”
“Yeah, I’m crazy! Ever since you made me fall in love with you, I started to lose my mind. Do you still not understand?”
Frank’s voice echoed, shaking Kara’s heart. The girl had to clench her fists to confirm her intention.
“I’m not asking you to love me. I just want to be free from you,” she emphasized.
“But you are already tied to me. You’ve even signed a contract, Kara. You want me to put you in jail so you can’t go anywhere?”
Frank raised an eyebrow. He could really lose his mind if he
continued to face Kara’s anger.
“If you really loved me, you wouldn’t hold me like this. Are you not aware? The closer we are, the more danger your grandfather put in my life.”
Frank laughed tiredly. “Is that why you don’t want to be by my side? Are you afraid of my grandfather? Don’t worry, Kara. I can protect
you.”
“Then prove it! Call your grandfather now and tell him that you didn’t cancel your marriage. You will still marry Isabela.”
Frank was stunned. He didn’t expect his secretary to make such a requirement. He thought he had succeeded in subduing Kara with threats last night. But apparently, that was just his wishful thinking.
“What’s wrong with you, Kara? I love you. I just want to marry you.”
“But I don’t love you,” Kara said firmly. She brushed Frank’s hand away then took a step back. “I hate you, Frank Harper. Really hate you. You still don’t understand? You are the one who ruined my life.”
Frank’s eyes also filled with tears. He could clearly see the girl’s sadness, but was reluctant to believe what she said.
“You’re not good at lying, Kara. I can feel the warmth from the look in your eyes. Yes, there is hatred in your gaze, but at certain times, I can see longing and hope in you… like now.”
“Nonsense!”
Kara was about to look away. However, Frank had already cupped her cheeks so she couldn’t look anywhere.
“You love me too, Kara. We both love each other. What if we lower the prestige that we have been forcing to be high, hmm? We can be a
happy cupic.
“I don’t need that stupid imagination. Now call your grandfather or I don’t want to see you again. Even if you throw me in prison or tie me up in your room, I won’t look at you.”
Frank’s breath hitched. He would not be able to defeat the stubborn girl because after all, his position was not profitable.
“So, you want me to continue the arranged marriage and marry that arrogant girl?” Frank asked through gritted teeth. His voice scared Kara a bit. Like there was another plan behind those words.
“Yes. Call your grandfather and open the door.” Kara strengthened her
heart.
“After that, you will still work at my company, right?”
Kara considered it for a moment. “Yes, but without a contract. What we have signed is no longer valid. I don’t need to help you thwart the arranged marriage because you already agreed to it.”
Frank nodded. He took out his phone and did as Kara asked. He didn’t say hello and only said what was necessary.
“Grandpa, thank Kara. I won’t rebel any more. I will marry Isabela month.” Without waiting for a response, Frank ended the call.
satisfied now?”
Kara lifted her chin and nodded. “Open the door.”
Without taking his eyes off Kara, Frank reached into his pocket and took out the key. As soon as the door opened, Kara walked towards the exit. She didn’t have time to notice how quiet the bar was. Her mind was too full of worries and doubts. He didn’t even realize that
Jeremy was watching her from the corner of the dance floor.
“Are you fighting again, Sir?” he asked when Frank came out looking frozen.
“Watch over her, Jeremy. Don’t let your guard down again. We don’t know what crazy moves my grandfather can make after this.”
Jeremy nodded and immediately carried out his task. Meanwhile, Frank walked towards the room where Ben, Sean, and several other people were being held. He had to teach them some lessons.

‘What I did was right, wasn’t it? Since Frank has complied with his wishes, Rowan will no longer target me and the children. We’re safe.’
As her feet kept moving towards the nearest bus stop, Kara’s gaze wandered. She was drowning in a reverie until a car horned from the
side of the road.
Kara blinked. “Jeremy?” After noticing that the surroundings were still quiet, she approached the front passenger door.
