Someone Else Will Put a Ring on Me
I'm the daughter of the richest man in the world, constantly surrounded by countless exceptional men. Yet I fall in love with Lance Hartley, a man who has nothing.
I hide my identity and pursue him, staying by his side for six years and helping him become the company's chairman. Everyone knows I'm his girlfriend and assumes I'll be the one he marries.
But he abandons me and proposes to Ella Monroe, the famous movie star.
The man who once swore to love me for all eternity kneels and publicly declares his feelings for her, vowing he won't marry anyone but her in this lifetime.
Puzzled, my dad confronts him and demands an explanation. "Your girlfriend is clearly Lisa. Why would you marry someone else?"
Lance's expression turns cold and disdainful.
"She's just some poor woman with no family, no connections, no influence. Sure, she stuck by me through the hard times, but she's not wife material. Besides, she's not even in Ella's league. Why would I settle for her?"
Hiding behind the door, I feel my heart shatter. In that moment, I finally understand that I'm someone he can discard at any time.
I look at my heartbroken dad and smile bitterly. "Dad, I lost."
I accept the arranged marriage Dad sets up for me. But just as I'm about to marry someone else, Lance kneels before me, full of regret and remorse.
"Lis, I was wrong. Please don't marry him."
