    Sunlight streamed in, warm and comforting.A week later, Grayson hosted a grand banquet to make our relationship public.Under the bright spotlight, he stood on stage, holding my hand."Today, I want to announce to everyone— Lisa is the one person I will protect for the rest of my life. In the past, I kept my feelings hidden and didn't dare to speak. But from now on, I won't let her suffer even the slightest grievance."With that, he dropped to one knee and took out an enormous diamond ring."My love, will you marry me?"My eyes brimmed with emotion as I let him slide the ring onto my finger.Thunderous applause filled the room.He lowered his head and pressed a kiss to my lips.That night, blessings poured in from all sides."Grayson is so gentle and devoted—Lisa is truly lucky!""Ethan had it coming. He pushed his fiancée away—now he has nowhere left to cry."The Meyer family's reputation plummeted because of the scandal. Business partners withdrew one after another. Thei

    Early the next morning, I returned to my family home.Not long after I announced that I was calling off the engagement with Ethan, his parents showed up at my door.Ethan followed behind them, disheveled. Clearly, he hadn't slept all night.The moment they stepped inside, his mother grabbed my hand."Lisa, don't be angry anymore. Ethan was just being foolish for a moment. I've already given him a harsh scolding. Please forgive him."Ethan's father looked at me, his expression stern."The marriage alliance between the Meyer and Robinson families was as good as settled. Now you're calling it off just like that? It's extremely disrespectful. Is this the kind of upbringing the Robinson family prides itself on?"From beginning to end, they had not offered a single word of sincere apology.Ethan stepped forward, making one last attempt."Lisa, you've seen how sincere I am. Let's get back together, okay? Yes, I made a mistake—but haven't you also been with Grayson? That makes us even

    Grayson and I left the amusement park and returned to the villa. We shut out all the noise from the outside world, closing the doors to enjoy time that belonged only to us.But the peace lasted less than two days before trouble came knocking.That afternoon, after lunch, we were watering the flowers together when Sarah suddenly barged in."Lisa! You shameless woman! Get out here!""What did you say to Ethan? Ever since we got back from the amusement park, he's been talking about breaking up with me. This has to be your doing!"Grayson moved to shield me, about to speak, but I stopped him.With a light laugh, I stepped forward, my composure unwavering as I faced her."Sarah, did you hit your head on the way over here? You interfered in my engagement. How do you have the nerve to accuse me?"Sarah faltered, her words stumbling over each other."I—I'm truly in love with Ethan! Love doesn't care about who came first!""Truly in love?"I walked up to her, looking down at her from

    Ignoring Ethan's shock, I shook him off."Grayson, wait up!"I hurried after him, almost breaking into a run. The sight of his lonely figure stirred an ache I couldn't put into words."Grayson, why are you running?"He froze, then slowly turned around. The man who was always calm and composed now had trembling hands. He didn't dare look at me. His Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to speak."Because I'm afraid… I'm afraid of watching you go back to him with my own eyes. I wouldn't be able to bear it."I know your heart belongs to Ethan. I was never going to win against him. Being able to stay by your side as your fiancé for this past month… that's already more than I could have hoped for."I looked at his reddened eyes, my heart softening."I'll ask you one more time, Grayson. Do you love me?""I do!""How much?"He met my gaze, unwavering."More than I love myself."Warmth surged through me, my eyes stinging faintly."Then be the one who makes me happy."Grayson froze

    At the sound of my voice, Ethan's expression changed abruptly."Lisa… y-you didn't lose your memory?"Panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.He stepped forward and grabbed my hand tightly."Lisa, listen to me. I don't have feelings for Sarah. I just… got a little scared of marriage and wanted to indulge myself for a few days before the wedding. The one I truly love has always been you."His words came fast, yet carried a certainty—as if he were convinced that, just like before, no matter what he did wrong, I would forgive him.Beside us, Grayson watched our entangled hands, the light in his eyes fading little by little. He seemed to believe that, in the end, I would still choose Ethan. His solitary figure turned away slowly, as if he were about to walk out of my life.I was about to go after Grayson when Ethan blocked my path. I stared at Ethan's face, a wave of nausea twisting in my stomach."Don't touch me! Ethan, you disgust me. Let's break up

    Grayson and I exchanged a smile. He slipped off his coat and draped it over my shoulders."It's getting a little chilly. Let's go home. The jewelry and clothes I had custom-made for you overseas have arrived. We can try them on this afternoon."Ethan stared at us, fury churning in his eyes."Ethan… be gentle, that hurts…"Sarah frowned, her voice soft and coquettish as she clung to him.He immediately released her hand and grabbed Grayson instead."I need to talk to you."Curious, I followed them quietly.At a secluded corner of the amusement park, Ethan forced a smile that didn't reach his eyes."Grayson, what exactly are you playing at? I only asked you to pretend to be Lisa's fiancé so I could have a little freedom before the wedding. And now you're acting all intimate with her—are you trying to humiliate me on purpose?"Grayson shook off his grip, something long suppressed flickering in his eyes."From the very beginning, I was never acting for you. I like Lisa. I've lik
