Chapter 1

Following Ethan Vance around for ten long years, he finally asked me to marry him.

He even put a blindfold on me, whispering that he had a massive surprise waiting.

But the second I took a single step into the room, a bucket of freezing cold water splashed right over my head.

"Chloe, when the hell are you going to wake up?"

"Did you honestly think I would ever marry you?"

My hands trembled as I ripped off the blindfold. There he was, sitting on the plush leather couch, casually sipping a glass of whiskey.

"See? I told you she’d fall for it! Whoever bet against me, pay up!"

Seeing my silence, Ethan scoffed, his eyes flashing with amusement.

"Honestly, Chloe, you’re not getting any younger. You should find some random guy to marry before you end up dying alone with ten cats."

The moment the words left his mouth, his friends burst into roaring laughter, throwing me looks of pure disgust.

But when I actually took his advice and married someone else, why did he end up on his knees, begging for me back?
