Seconds later, Eric called.I didn't pick up. He called three times in a row.Finally, he sent several voice messages."Emma Perrin, have you lost your mind?"You know Tristan and I don't get along."He won't propose."Do you really want to humiliate yourself?"I was so angry I laughed. I didn't bother answering.Hank couldn't resist stirring up more trouble in the group chat.He announced that, proposal or not, Tristan would have to play couples' games with me.Holding hands.Hugging.Feeding each other cake.Someone in the chat warned Hank, "Don't stir things up. She's an aristocrat."But Eric didn't care. "It's settled."Tristan said nothing, so that means he agrees."Thanks to him, I'll get to see Handsome and the Beast at my birthday party."He was saying it on purpose.But Tristan never replied.His profile picture was solid black, and his bio was completely blank.Even Eric seemed a little afraid of him.He had no trouble mocking me, but he didn't dare push his brother for an an

Early the next morning, my family began getting me ready for the party.It was just a gathering for young people.But my father still assigned over a dozen bodyguards to escort me.My mother had my gown brought in, and a top makeup artist did my makeup.Only after that did I have time to look at my phone.The group chat had 99+ unread messages.Everyone was hashing out the plan for tonight.Someone had deliberately posted a photo of an extra-wide chair."Hank swapped it in. Said a normal chair might not hold her.""So thoughtful. The family's better off with him in it."Eric wrote, "She's not coming. Don't bother."Jasmine wrote, "Noble families take their commitments seriously. The Perrin family would never break their word."Promise me you won't make fun of her anymore, okay?"The chat immediately erupted with praise for Jasmine, calling her beautiful inside and out.I turned off my phone and put on the long white dress my mother had made for me.The simple cut emphasized my waist an

When I finished speaking, the whole room seemed to freeze.Hank's eyes went wide, and his mouth hung open.He couldn't say a word.He pulled up the photo from the party and kept comparing it to me.In the photo, my neck was lost in rolls of fat, and my gown looked ready to burst at the seams.The woman standing in front of him now had sharp collarbones and a toned, curvy body.He swallowed."W-Wait, is that really the same person?"No one answered him.Everyone else was doing the same thing.Looking down at the photo, then up at me.Down again, then up again.In the corner, one of the women murmured something."Her eyes and nose really are exactly the same."But after losing all that weight, you can finally see her face..."The guys who had mocked me hardest a minute earlier looked like they wanted the floor to swallow them.Someone finally snapped out of it and tried to sneak the pig cake away.In his haste, his hand slipped, sending the cake spinning halfway around on the table.The

Tristan and Eric's father had arrived.Don Leon Blade walked into the room.He'd only bothered to show up at a party like this to show my family some respect."You must be Ms. Perrin."Please convey my respects to your family."My father had been pushing the marriage forward all along.Perhaps he'd been too ashamed to tell them I weighed 220 pounds.Or perhaps the two families had still been feeling each other out.Either way, my father had never told them what I looked like.Leon had recognized me at a glance. He must have had someone investigate me beforehand.I responded with an elegant curtsy.I couldn't help thinking back to the party two years earlier.What if Eric had had someone investigate me afterward, or simply confronted me about it?He might have learned how hard I was working to become someone worthy of standing beside him.But what-ifs couldn't change anything.Leon was a busy man. He'd come for one reason: to find out which of his sons I would choose.My choice would af

The once-noisy room fell silent, leaving only me and my family's bodyguards.My composure finally began to crumble.I sat down, my nails digging into my palms.Over the past two years, I had lost 110 pounds, and it wasn't just because of my feelings for Eric.I still remembered the Christmas gift Ian had pressed into my hands.The earrings came with a note that read, "Be brave and face whatever life throws at you."His words had made me want to change my life.I remembered every meal that left me hungry, every moment I wanted to give up.And every night I was too exhausted to stand.I had thought living bravely meant giving up my dream and accepting the marriage for my family's sake.I never imagined it would end in humiliation.My fists clenched involuntarily.But this time, I wasn't going to run away.When I got home, I told my parents everything.My father might not have liked me, but the insult enraged him.He rushed off to call a family meeting, swearing to cut all ties with the B
