She knew nothing about this guy who was currently on one knee in front of her, other than the fact that he was hot and a billionaire heir to the famous Spofford Enterprises.
In his hand, he held a tiny box with a huge rock in it.
"So, what do you say? Do you want to get married?"

She heard gasps and threats from the fan girls of the most eligible bachelor in America. Who said that the proposal was supposed to be the best day of your life?
