Ethan's face lit up with a nostalgic smile as he glanced at the picture, memories flooding back. "Yep, that's me," he confirmed, his voice tinged with a hint of pride.

I've also been thinking about losing weight, so I went to the hospital, and who knew the doctor was a beautiful woman? She looked at me and said, 'You want to lose weight?

He was silent for a long time before he asked heavily, "Is this reliable news?" "Completely reliable! Taylor barely escaped death, and he was the one who told me himself.

I… I don't want to die," Ethan said, wiping away the cold sweat on his brow.

The doors slam shut, silencing the chaos outside. My chest rises and falls in sharp, uneven breaths. I clutch the ring on my finger like I can crush it. “What the hell was that?” My voice comes out sharp, my frustration cracking through. Ethan leans back against the seat, completely unbothered. His tailored suit is crisp, not a single hair out of place, as if he just walked out of a board meeting instead of a media ambush. “You expected anything less?” he says, amusement lacing his tone.

Chapter Three: The Unexpected Encounter Elizabeth sat on the edge of her bed, the events of the day replaying in her mind. The audacity of her actions—the proposal to a complete stranger—seemed surreal. She had acted on impulse, driven by a mix of desperation and a desire to escape the suffocating grip of her past.
