The moment my words fell, Ethan Meyer's expression darkened, then a flicker of excitement crept in.Without another word, he dragged Grayson Hudson out of the hospital room.I followed quietly behind them and heard him whisper at the stairwell."Grayson, I'm begging you—help me put on a show! Pretend to be Lisa's fiancé. Just cover for me until the engagement ceremony. It's only a month. It'll go by quickly. Please!"His tone was matter-of-fact, even laced with a hint of impatient indulgence."During this time, I want to be with Sarah… enjoy myself before the wedding."Grayson didn't respond. He simply stared at him, brows drawn tight.After a long moment of silence, he finally agreed.I lowered my head, a wave of bitterness rising in my chest, and slipped quietly back to my room.My injuries weren't severe. By the afternoon, after completing the discharge procedures, Grayson drove me home.Inside the confined space of the car, an unfamiliar presence slowly pressed in around

Grayson's hand trembled slightly in mine."What act? I don't know what you're talking about."He tightened his grip on my hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd."My love for Lisa has never been an act. I'll say this again—anyone who dares disrespect my fiancée is making an enemy of me."The moment his words fell, the room went silent.Ethan was stunned at first, then seemed to arrive at some conclusion of his own. He probably assumed Grayson was covering for him.With a scoff, he looked at me, his eyes laced with mockery."Lisa, do you really think your fiancé loves you? You must've forgotten how he used to treat you."Before he could finish, Grayson took me away.Back at the villa, I watched Grayson busy himself taking care of me, my confusion deepening.I looked at him quietly and asked softly, "Grayson… do you really love me?"He didn't hesitate. His gaze was earnest, burning with sincerity."Yes. I always have."There was something in his eyes—too open, too real—that

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 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

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
