Stepping on Roses, Vol. 9

FINAL VOLUME! When Sumi Kitamura's financial problems become dire, wealthy Soichiro Ashida enters her life with a bizzaire proposition - he'll provide her with the money she so desperately needs if she agrees to marry him. But is it worth giving up everything for this sham of a marriange? Sumi tries to get Soichiro's company back for him, but she doesn't realise that he's about to embark on a life-changing opportunity. Meanwhile, Nozumu is hell-bent on marrying Sumi regardless of any consequences. Can anything stop Nozumu at this point? Or will Sumi and Soichiro find a way to be together?
