Chapter 7
On the day of the press conference,
Damian seemed unusually nervous.
Just before going on stage, he grabbed my hand. “Violet, just thinking about proposing to you makes me so nervous and excited. Is this really happening? Or am I dreaming?”
I gently patted his hand, but I didn’t say anything.
couldn’t respond to him.
Because today was the day we were parting ways.
At the press conference,
When the host made a dramatic pause, mentioning there was one more big announcement,
Damian’s eyes lit up with expectation. His heart was about to jump out of his chest; the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He felt like he was floating.
At the right moment, the song “You Are My Only” started playing.
A romantic spotlight shone on me, and petals began to fall.
Damian gazed at me with deep affection, his voice trembling with emotion.
“Violet, you’ve said that making this film was your lifelong dream. Well, marrying you is my lifelong dream. Will you help me fulfill that dream?”
The audience erupted in cheers, and the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Damian knelt on one knee and raised the engagement ring high.
“Violet, will you marry me?”
I stared at him quietly, never saying the words everyone was waiting to hear-“I do.”
The ring in his raised hand never made it to my finger.
There was a shocked silence in the air, and everyone in the room looked at me in confusion.
After Being Betrayed. I Married His Half brother
Damian’s heart sank. He quickly lifted his head to look at me.
But he saw me stepping back, one step at a time.
He panicked, cleared his throat, and repeated,
“Violet, will you…”
“No.”
A voice interrupted his words from the crowd below.
The sudden interruption made everyone look around, trying to find the source.
Just as they were wondering, I took the microphone, and my voice rang out across the room.
“I don’t want to.”
“Because the person I want to marry is his brother, Vincent!”
A stone thrown into a lake caused a massive ripple. The room was thrown into a frenzy.
“What’s going on?”
“No way! This is worth the trip!”
Various voices of confusion and mockery rose in the crowd, the entire venue was in chaos.
And in Damian’s panicked gaze, I walked down the stairs and placed my hand into the waiting hand of Vincent.
The music of “You Are My Only” continued to play, now reaching its climax,
But the one being proposed to had changed.
Vincent knelt down and placed the ring he had prepared on my finger.
Proposal accepted!
By the time everyone finally realized what had happened, I was already walking out with Vincent.
A brief moment of silence filled the air, followed by the roar of the crowd.
God! What a shocking turn of events. Didn’t Damian just propose? How did his brother suddenly
show up?”
“Quick, take pictures!”
Damian, frozen in place, finally came to his senses.
Anger replaced his panic, and he lost all sense of reason. Like a rabid dog, he chased after me.
I watched as he helplessly saw me throw the bouquet away without a second thought.
At the entrance of the hall, my laughter rang out, carefree.
He was in disbelief, nearly breaking down as he shouted at me.
“Violet, what are you doing? Why are you doing this to me?!”
I turned around, looked at Damian’s devastated expression, and smiled lightly as I spoke.
“Damian, you should be home taking care of your child, not here proposing to me.”
At those words, Damian’s face instantly fell.
His legs felt like they were nailed to the spot, unable to move forward.
“Vi… Violet, you know?”
Damian shuddered from head to toe, a cold fear filling him.
He saw me get into a car with Vincent, and the car sped away.
The combination of anger and fear hit him like a wave, and he collapsed, unable to bear it.
The press conference had already spiraled out of control, with screams echoing through the half
All the reporters and audience members stood up, snapping photos of the chaos.
In a luxurious mansion in City A, a woman holding a child smiled smugly.
“So, you figured it out, huh? Damian is finally mine now.”
Then she saw Damian lying motionless, and panic immediately seized her.
“Where’s the butler?! Where is he?!”
“Get me a car, we’re going to the hospital!”
