Someone Else Will Put a Ring on Me

I'm the daughter of the richest man in the world, constantly surrounded by countless exceptional men. Yet I fall in love with Lance Hartley, a man who has nothing.

I hide my identity and pursue him, staying by his side for six years and helping him become the company's chairman. Everyone knows I'm his girlfriend and assumes I'll be the one he marries.

But he abandons me and proposes to Ella Monroe, the famous movie star.

The man who once swore to love me for all eternity kneels and publicly declares his feelings for her, vowing he won't marry anyone but her in this lifetime.

Puzzled, my dad confronts him and demands an explanation. "Your girlfriend is clearly Lisa. Why would you marry someone else?"

Lance's expression turns cold and disdainful.

"She's just some poor woman with no family, no connections, no influence. Sure, she stuck by me through the hard times, but she's not wife material. Besides, she's not even in Ella's league. Why would I settle for her?"

Hiding behind the door, I feel my heart shatter. In that moment, I finally understand that I'm someone he can discard at any time.

I look at my heartbroken dad and smile bitterly. "Dad, I lost."

I accept the arranged marriage Dad sets up for me. But just as I'm about to marry someone else, Lance kneels before me, full of regret and remorse.

"Lis, I was wrong. Please don't marry him."

The night wind cut through the air, scattering what remained of my passion and fantasies about love.

I looked at my heartbroken dad and smiled bitterly. "Dad, I lost."

Dad gently patted the back of my head, comforting me. "In five days, Peter will come and marry you."

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and nodded firmly. After seeing Dad off, I quietly returned to my room.

Before long, my boyfriend, Lance Hartley, opened the door and came in. Seeing me standing by the window, he wrapped his arms around me from behind. His breathing grew rapid as he kissed my neck, his hands already restlessly slipping under my clothes, caressing my skin.

Feeling his desire, I softened my body and let him do as he pleased. But he was like an insatiable, ravenous wolf, taking me again and again until I drowned in waves of sensation.

As I drifted toward sleep, he kissed my cheek, his voice barely a whisper. "Babe, why don't you go abroad to study?"

I opened my reddened eyes, struggling to control my emotions. "What about you?"

His gaze deepened as he smiled. "I'll wait for you here."

I nodded slightly, lowering my eyes to hide the disappointment in them.

He wasn't telling the truth. He wouldn't wait for me, and he would marry someone else.

I was the daughter of the richest man in the world and was constantly surrounded by countless exceptional men. Yet I fell in love with Lance, who had nothing.
