After entangling with Damien for seven years, he finally said he wanted to marry me.
On the day of the proposal, his first love returned to the country.
I heard him say, "Melody? Oh, that's just the dog I keep at home, you know? Something to play with when I'm bored, just for amusement."
"You have no idea how obedient she is. Whatever pose I tell her to strike, she does it."
"Break up? Her whole family depends on me for a living. What does she have to break up with me?"
I silently packed my things, preparing to leave.
No one noticed anything unusual until I announced my engagement to someone else.
