Xeria's P.O.V
I take the ring off my finger, put it back in the box, and slam the box down on the nightstand.
"Who does he think he is?"
"To go on one knee and propose to you," I shout, imitating him.
To hell with proposing to me; I will make him regret this decision of his for the rest of his life.
How dare he manipulate me?
The only good thing about this situation is that it made my parents happy.
Looking at their expression when they realized I said yes was priceless. I can't just hurt them.
Whining, Potato rubs himself on me. "Sorry, Potato, now we will end up living in a shady penthouse." Stroking him, I give him the most devasting news.
"But don't worry, Potato, I won't give in too easily," I declare, giving a mischievous smile.

"So, we were thinking of making a public announcement." Dad says, smiling.
Just give me a break. What exactly does everyone want?
"Where is mom?" I ask, looking around.
"She is still asleep; work has been really hectic these days." Dad answers, and sure, they have been a lot busy lately.
"Who's, suggestion is it to make a public announcement?" I inquire, and dad averts his gaze.
"But why so soon, Dad?" I ask him, annoyed.
"Honey, you got engaged; then what's there to wait for?"
"I want to keep it private until we get married." Before Dad could convince me, I declare my decision to him.
"Honey, you aren't planning anything else, are you?" Dad gives me a questioning look.
Sighing, I look at him.
"No, I'm not; I just don't want any unnecessary drama; I even didn't let anyone know about Jake for four years, so it's my choice to keep things private," I answer him, and surely, I'm not planning on dumping him mid-way; why should I? He will be the one to do that.
Finding my point reasonable, Dad drops the announcement thing but drops another bomb on me.
"Do a photoshoot for the engagement."
Since we didn't have any pictures from last night, how would there be any?
All we did was argue, so there was neither time to eat nor take any stupid pictures.
I couldn't say no to the photoshoot, but this time, I will have Potato to accompany me.
"That took a really quick turn." Quentin's voice comes from my AirPod.
Right, now I'm driving to my office in a car; bye-bye to bikes, at least for now.
"Did you find anything?"
"Is he conspiring with anything?" I ask him.
Quentin's parents own an IT company, which he will be taking over as CEO in no time. He himself is a tech genius.
"So, are you doing the photoshoot?"
"You know, it will not be a simple one." He asks, implying the subject of the shoot.
"Don't worry, these are the little opportunities that I have to utilize in order to achieve my goal." I answer, and he laughs.
Stepping out of my car, I see Moira standing in front of me.
