The flashes of hundreds of cameras lit up the grand ballroom as reporters pushed forward, desperate to capture the moment the entire business world would talk about for weeks.
Reis Ashenford - the man known for never losing control - was on one knee.
And in his hand rested a diamond ring.
She hid the emotions because the cameras surrounding them. Just hours ago, she believed their agreement was simple.
Pretend to date.
Although from her side it was not pretending.
But this...
This proposal was never part of the deal.
For a second, she wanted to question him. Wanted to ask for reason why he was doing this.
But there were too many people watching.
Too many cameras waiting.
Too many eyes ready to turn her hesitation into headlines.
So after one trembling breath, Miray looked at him and whispered-
"Yes."
The entire venue erupted into applause.
Reis gently took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger while reporters captured every second like a fairytale unfolding before them.
Then he stood up.
Miray stared silently at the ring sparkling beneath the golden lights.
Is this really happening...?
Or am I dreaming?
Just months ago, she had been living peacefully in her small little world with the people she loved, finding happiness in ordinary moment.
And now...
She had stepped into Reis Ashenford's world.
A world far too powerful.
A world where smiles hid secrets.
As the cameras continued flashing, Reis slowly intertwined his fingers with hers.
But behind his calm expression, his thoughts were far darker.
One deal.
One fake relationship.
One girl who was never supposed to become important to him.
Yet now, he had brought her into his world completely - a place where one mistake could destroy everything.
And this proposal.
She never expected it.
But it was the only way he could keep her safe.
Reis tightened his hold on her hand slightly
From now on. no matter what happens.
I'm not letting you leave my side.
