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.

He laughed as he tossed the wedding ring into the cake

That evening, I was overjoyed as I snapped a photo of my diamond ring and shared it on my social media.


When Damien saw that photo, he was in a private room at an upscale club.


Someone had stumbled upon Melody's social media post and asked Damien in surprise, "Mr. Winters, are you really marrying Melody? You've given her such an expensive diamond ring."


Damien, assuming they were talking about the ring he had given her, replied nonchalantly, "It's just a few hundred thousand, hardly expensive."


"How could it be just a few hundred thousand? This ring is worth at least five million. It's a rare pink diamond!"


Damien finally realized something was amiss. He took the person's phone to look and was stunned.


"What's wrong? Don't tell me it wasn't you who gave it to her, Mr. Winters... Then again, I heard Miss Everhart is carrying your child. If anyone should be getting married, it would be more fitting for it to be Miss Everhart, given her blue-blood background."
