My heart was stifled so loudly as I was worried about my mother. So many negative things go into my brain. What if they hurt her? Will not they stop until my father's debt has been repaid?
My tears do not stop at the moment as Jin caressing my back to calm down but fear is over me. I did not realize that we had come to the dorm because I had fallen too much in my worries. If Jin had not squeezed my palm I would not wake up to the truth. Jin, quickly got off the car and I followed him while Namjoon was left inside to park the car. We hurriedly get into the dorm and we saw them peeping into mom's bedroom. But, they also quickly gave way when they saw us.
When I entered the room I saw my mother sitting in her bed and crying. Her hair is messy and I hear her poor whimpering. I quickly approached her and gave her a tight hug. She also embraced me back but quickly cut it and grabbed my shoulders. I was pained to see her pale cheeks and lips. His cheeks are also wet with tears.
"Ashley, listen to me." she said with a shaking voice and I quickly nodded. "We have to go. they will kill us."
I grabbed her hands and squeezed them. I know she's afraid like me but we can not just leave. I have signed contracts and obligations that need to be fulfilled.
"Mom, we only need to pay them, right? Jin, will help me to get money. I only need two weeks to get it. When they come back, call me and I will talk to them myself." I said to force her to calm down.
"No-no. They want the money in five days! If we will not have pay them in time. They will kill you first!" She said hysterically. I do not know what to say anymore so I embraced my mother again and caress her back. Where do I get 10 million in five days?
I can lend you ten million but marry me in return
That statement echoes in my brain. I shut my eyes and finally decided to swallow my pride. Guess, life won't allow me to have a romantic wedding of my life. I need him, I need Suga.

I cannot settle in my seat while my lawyer explains. I know that what he says is important but my mind is left with Ash. How was her mother? Did she find that 10 million? I want to call to ask if her situation is okay, but I can not do it because I need to understand what my lawyer says. Hopefully this is over, so I'm free to leave.
"Are you even listening to all my shit Mr. Min?" He asked as he stared at me seriously.
"Yes, I am. Taehyung is making a move to prevent getting my position as president of the company by bribing the board of directors, right?" I answered and my face was serious too.
My lawyer sat down at comfy couch across my seat and crossed his legs. "Your mind is somewhere else, Mr.Min. Care to share?"
"I don't know if it's good to share this thing to anyone, but, Ash..." I stopped and I clearly saw how his lips curve into a teasing smile. "She needs ten million."
His smile faded for few moments but then cope up and lean his back at the soft back of the couch and eyed me intently.
"Asked her to marry you and you give her 10 million. Just give me some authority to get the money, it's from your own fortune, of course."
"I already asked her about it. Yet, she said her boss will help her to get the money."
I sigh after I said that and he started to fixed his things and about to leave when my phone rang. My heart skip a bit when I saw Ash's name on the screen. I did not waste any second and answer the call.
"Hey! What's up?" I asked. I can't stop myself to smile. Yet, all I heard is her sigh on the other line.
"Is there anything wrong?" I asked worriedly. "Where are you? Let's meet." I hear a sigh again and finally she spoke.
"Can you lend me 10 million within five days? Please." Her voice trembles. My lawyer is there near me like trying his best to hear our conversation so I sign him to sat down and wait.
"Oh, yeah. But, does that mean you are going to marry me, Ash?" I felt so excited. I am not sure why. But, knowing that Ash will marry me gives a lot of foreign emotions to me. I know she's problematic but all I do is smile currently.
"I-if that's what you asked for payment. Besides, this is just plain business, Right? I swear, I will pay you." She said still pleading. I actually imagining her pinkinsh cheeks and pouty lips as she said those words.
"O-okay. Let's met tomorrow and talk about it. I'm currently with my lawyer to tackle some business. I hope everything is fine about your mother."
"Yeah, thank you, Suga. Really. I swear I will finally change your name in my contact list. I need to hang up. I'm with my mom and she's fine." She said and now her voice is more lively.
"Okay, bye." I cut the call and face my lawyer.
"What? Seems like you got good news huh!" He teased me.
"Give me ten million in four days and meet me again tomorrow at my office. We need to settle the rules of our marriage." His eyes widened in disbelief. He even clapped his hands slowly while standing in front of me.
"Oh, God! The untouchable man is getting married huh. Good luck!"
I smiled. A genuine smile. I can't stop but to imagine myself wearing tuxedo and Ash wearing white gown on that special day. Damn it! Am I in love or something? Is this how my character felt when he fell in love? It's disgusting and overwhelming at the same time.
My lawyer finally done with fixing himself and on his way to the door when I suddenly remember one question.
"Hey! Do you know how man propose properly?"

Omg!
I'm not good at the romantic moment. I hope I can do the next chapters properly.
