I was in a temporary shock from an allergic reaction. The two guys I had grown up with didn't even look my way. One of them was busy helping Vivian Byrd carry a pile of gifts, while the other was snapping pictures of her at some popular social media spot. It was a stranger passing by who called an ambulance and got me to the hospital, saving my life. The next day, Vivian called, her tone almost smug. "Trish, Zeke and Hendrick were so exhausted after shopping with me yesterday. I heard you threw a tantrum and ended up in the hospital. Should I come visit you?" I simply replied, "No need." Zeke Benson and Hendrick Peay were my childhood friends. They once treated me like I was everything to them—promising to pluck the moon and stars from the sky and to protect me forever. But ever since Vivian came into the picture, their world no longer revolved around me. I thought for a moment and then dialed my mother's number. "Mom, I'll accept the marriage arrangement."

Watching Edmond disappear with me in his arms through the doorway, Zeke and Hendrick snapped out of their stupor. Vivian yanked at their sleeves in a panic. "Zeke, Hendrick, what now? You have to help me. Maltimum Enterprise is about to send me a lawyer's letter..." It had always worked this way before. A few tears and Zeke and Hendrick would soften, willing to give her anything. But this time, the coldness in their eyes was all she received. Zeke's expression turned dark. "Vivian, did you really trick Trish into drinking that mango juice? Those cookies had mango in them, too..." Hendrick scowled. "You knew Trish was allergic to mangoes. Why did you do such a thing, Vivian? Do you want to kill her?" Vivian felt the blood drain from her face as she began to tear up. "No... I didn't mean to... I didn't know Trish's allergy was that severe. I thought just a little mango wouldn't matter—" Before she could finish, Zeke slapped her hard across the face. "Shut up!" Vivian froz

"Edmond, in here!" I heard Payton's voice.The bedroom door suddenly slammed open."Trish!" Edmond rushed in, followed by a few people.The three people already in the bedroom froze at the sound, staring at Edmond in shock.Zeke and Hendrick were both deeply confused, wondering why Edmond was here and whether I was really going to marry him.Edmond quickly swept me off the sofa in his arms and signaled for the family doctor to come forward and check on me.Ever since I collapsed from an allergic reaction during a previous incident, Edmond had made it a habit to bring a doctor with him whenever he visited, just in case something went wrong.Today was supposed to be our engagement party. Edmond had gone to the airport to pick up a piece of jewelry he'd purchased at an auction, which had delayed him. But he certainly hadn't expected to find me in this state when he arrived.The family doctor gave me some medication and then rushed me to the bathroom to induce vomiting. After a whi

Zeke furrowed his brow. "Why would Edmond Hardy give you anything? Trish, I think you might be running a fever."I raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with that? I forgot to mention: Edmond's my fiancé."The moment the words left my mouth, both of them burst into laughter."Trish, come on. Get a grip. Edmond Hardy? The heir to Maltimum Enterprises? You think he'd buy you a gift?""Trish, cut it out with the childish acts. Lying isn't cute. This moonstone hair clip—it's probably a knockoff."I felt a rush of disgust as they kept belittling me and elevating Vivian.Just then, Vivian's eyes landed on a collection of luxurious jewelry on my vanity. These high-end pieces were far beyond anything she'd ever seen.She approached carefully. "Trish, you have so many beautiful pieces here. Would it be alright if I tried them on?"Before I could say anything, Zeke spoke, "Why bother trying them on? Trish is kind-hearted. Just take what you like, Vivian. It's all yours!""Over my dead body!"

"I'll be a married woman soon, so let's just stop seeing each other, okay?" With that, I gestured for them to leave and pulled Payton with me, heading to my room. But to my surprise, the three of them followed right behind us. Zeke's voice was full of disbelief. "Trish, seriously? It's not the time for you to be throwing a tantrum. Besides me and Hendrick, who else could you marry?" Hendrick nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Trish, stop being so stubborn. What's going on with you lately? You've been distant, always holding a grudge. The old Trish would never act like this." As we reached my bedroom, Zeke and Hendrick walked right in with Vivian, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Vivian hesitated, her voice cautious. "Is it okay for us to just walk into Trish's room like this?" Zeke shrugged, unconcerned. "It's fine. She's just throwing a little fit. No big deal." Vivian finally lifted her gaze, but when she saw my room, her eyes went wide. My bedroom was eas

After escorting the guests to the banquet hall, Payton and I were heading to my bedroom to change into my second dress. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the back door's keypad lock being disengaged. I had only shared the code with two people—Zeke and Hendrick. One winter, I had caught a terrible cold and wasn't recovering. Zeke and Hendrick had been frantic but didn't want to visit directly. So, they tried sneaking into my house by climbing over the wall, nearly getting caught by the police. That was when I decided to give them the back door code. But this time, there was someone else with them—a smiling, demure Vivian."Trish!" Vivian greeted me, her smile sweet and innocent. She pulled a damaged diamond necklace out of her pocket, with a few stones missing. "Trish, this diamond necklace was a gift for you," she said, her voice full of fake sorrow. "But I'm so clumsy that I accidentally broke it. It's still wearable, though. Hope you don't mind." Vivian looked up at me with

Two weeks later, it was time for my engagement party with Edmond Hardy. Edmond is the sole heir to Maltimum Enterprise. In the brief time we'd spent together over these past two weeks, I realized he wasn't as cold and distant as the rumors had suggested. Instead, he was humble, gentle, and genuinely attentive to me. I didn't want an extravagant event for the engagement, and Edmond respected my wishes, so we decided to keep it simple and host it at our family's villa. Even though it was a modest affair, my parents still invited some of the city's most prominent figures. "After all, this is the engagement of our only daughter and the heir to Maltimum Enterprise. We need to have the proper display, or people will think I don't value this son-in-law! I'm so happy you and Edmond are getting together! Honestly, Edmond's much more presentable than those two fellas. Once you two marry, the company will be yours to manage, and your father and I will be waiting for grandchildren!" Afte

On the other end of the line, my mother's voice was filled with excitement. "Trish, I'm so glad you finally agreed! The engagement with Maltimum Enterprise's heir was arranged when you were little. We were supposed to introduce you to him a year ago, but you kept resisting for those two friends of yours. Although their families have some wealth, they can't even compare to Maltimum Enterprise. Have you really thought this through?" I nodded while holding the phone. "I've thought it over. I'll follow your lead in this matter." My mother laughed. "Don't worry! I'll make sure you have a grand wedding!" Just as I hung up, Zeke Benson and Hendrick Peay walked into the room with fruits. "Trish, whose wedding were you talking about?" I looked at them, expressionless. "My wedding. Why?" Zeke snorted. "Oh, Trish, you sure know how to joke around." Hendrick pulled a mango and handed it to me. "Are you jealous of Vivian or something? We just think of her like a sister. Don't overthin
