Proposal #66: Now He Wants a Baby With His Stepsister?

My boyfriend, Simon Hepworth, gets down on one knee for the 66th time. Moved by his persistence, I finally say yes.

But on the eve of our wedding, he drops a bombshell on me. He tells me he wants to have a child with his stepsister, Fiona Hepworth. I find it ridiculous and get into a huge fight with him. But I never could've imagined what would come next.

On our wedding day, I wait at the altar for three hours, bouquet in my hands, only for him to dismissively tell me that the wedding is postponed. All because he and Fiona have an IVF appointment that very day.

"Fiona was abused by her father growing up. She'll never be able to marry," he explains. "I just want to help her fulfill her dream of being a mother. It's just IVF. It's not like we're actually sleeping together. Stop being so sensitive."

He then hangs up, leaving me alone at the wedding under the gaze of countless guests and flashing media cameras.

The shock sends my father into the ICU.

Standing by his bedside, I make a vow. "Dad, you were right. I won't marry Simon. Next week, I'll come home and take over the family business."

On our wedding day, I stood waiting at the altar for three hours, bouquet in my hands. But Simon never showed up. Guests were getting restless, demanding to know when the ceremony would start.

I frantically dialed Simon's number for the 18th time. This time, he finally answered.

But before I could say a word, his irritated voice came through the line. "Didn't I tell you I'm taking Fiona to the hospital today for our IVF appointment? Why are you being so unreasonable?"

My fingers tightened around the fabric of my wedding dress as I shouted back, "Why today of all days? Is she more important than our wedding?"

After a brief hesitation, he replied, "I'm sorry, darling. But Fiona was abused by her father growing up. She'll never be able to marry. I just want to help her fulfill her dream of being a mother. It's just IVF, and it's not like we're actually sleeping together. Stop being so sensitive."

"Anyway, I'll make it up to you next time. I'm at the hospital now. I've got to go," he quickly said before hanging up.

I stood there frozen, staring at the sea of guests and the flashing cameras. My mind went blank.

Because of the Hepworth family's reputation, this wedding had been
