After my engagement to my childhood sweetheart Calvin, he secretly planned an overseas trip with Serena, the girl he had secretly loved for years.
The day before their departure, he was chatting with Serena and his buddies in the clubhouse of a golf course.
"Calvin, you just got engaged and now you're taking off with Serena. Aren't you worried Davina might find out?"
Calvin sneered, "I hired a guy to pose as her admirer. He'll keep her so busy she won't have time to look for me."
"And if something actually happens between them, it'll give me the perfect excuse to break off the engagement and be with Serena openly."
Standing outside the door, I trembled as his words reached my ears.
I turned to the handsome man behind me, who looked guilt-ridden, and said through my tears, "Then let's fulfill his wish and get married."
But as I was preparing for the wedding, Calvin fell to his knees before me in anguish, "Davina, I was wrong. Please don't marry him!"

Joaquin said softly, "I'll come pick you up at your place tomorrow."


I thought he was joking, but to my surprise, the doorbell rang early the next morning.


When I opened the door, rubbing my swollen eyes from crying, Joaquin was standing there looking dapper.


Looking at his face, I suddenly wanted to ask how much Calvin had paid him for his looks when he hired him.


Seeing my unsightly appearance, a flash of concern crossed his eyes: "Have you been crying over him?"


I put on a brave face: "No, I just got some dust in my eyes earlier."


Just as I was about to ask him what brought him here, his expression turned indulgent with a hint of exasperation: "We agreed, remember? I'm here to pick you up today."
