Marrying the Hired Suitor
After my engagement to Simon Page, he secretly planned a trip abroad with Yara Watson, the woman he had loved for years.
The day before their departure, he was chatting with his friends and Yara in the lounge of a golf club.
"Simon, you just got engaged, and you're already taking Yara on a trip. Aren't you afraid Rosalyn will find out?"
Simon scoffed. "I hired a guy to pose as her suitor. He’ll keep her so occupied that she won’t have time to bother me.
"If something really happens between them, even better. I can use it as an excuse to officially end the engagement and be with Yara openly."
Standing outside the door, I trembled as his words sank in.
Tears streamed down my face as I looked at the handsome man behind me, his expression filled with guilt. "Then let’s grant him his wish and get married."
But just as I was preparing for the wedding, Simon suddenly knelt before me in agony.
"Rosalyn, I was wrong. Please, don’t marry him!"
