Chapter 1 Proposal

"Dante, when are you going to break up with Selene? Every single time I see you two together, I go crazy from jealousy!"

"Cassandra, relax. You're the one I love. Can't you tell? Or should I show you in some other way?"

"Do you also make Selene happy in bed?"

"No. I'm not interested in touching her. Her breasts are nowhere near as soft and supple as yours."

"Ouch! You're hurting me. And keep it down, I'm scared the others will see us. After all, our relationship hasn't been made public yet."

"Don't worry. The guests are busy guzzling down champagne in the garden. No one will come to the second-floor bathroom. Babe, I can't stand it. Let me fuck you already..."

......

Standing outside the bathroom, Selene was expressionless, but her trembling hands gave away her true emotions.

Through the crack between the door and its frame, Selene could only see the man's back, but she could easily recognize Dante's hoarse voice.

Selene and Dante had been together for four years. Now, he was fucking another woman in some god-awful bathroom.

That woman was Selene's cousin, Cassandra.

Cassandra wrapped her bare legs around Dante's waist. Lust was written all over her pretty young face.

Selene found herself unable to move a muscle. Her heart ached, as though she had been stabbed in the chest.

They were at a family gathering.

Selene had dressed up for the occasion, wearing a dress as white and pure as snow, fit for a wedding. Yes, she was planning to propose to Dante tonight in front of friends and family.

Dante was every woman's dream boy, as he was the son of the richest man in Athens.

It had been her dream to be his woman, to be called Mrs Dante and introduced to his family.

But at this moment, that dream was shattered.

Selene blinked and snapped back to reality. She took a few steps back, trying to escape this horrific situation.

But she was so dazed that she ran into a shelf behind her.

Hearing the commotion outside, Cassandra screamed in a panic. "Oh, no! There's someone out there!"

Immediately, there was a scuffling noise inside the bathroom. The couple inside seemed to be busy getting dressed.

Selene turned around in a panic, trying to escape this nightmare.

But her white lace dress got caught on a rack.

Selene scrambled, trying her best to untangle it, but it was futile.

She could hear footsteps approaching from inside the bathroom.

Selene gritted her teeth and yanked at her dress hard, regardless of anything.

With a crisp noise, the beautiful lace dress ripped down the front. The fabric on the chest split wide open, revealing her full cleavage.

Selene had no choice but to cover her breasts feebly with her arms.

She stumbled down the stairs, having no time to fix herself up.

Cassandra and Dante soon caught up with Selene and blocked her way.

They had gotten dressed impeccably, whereas Selene looked disheveled, her dress torn. They stood in front of her calmly as though they were not the ones who were caught having sex in the bathroom just now.

Cassandra looked Selene up and down, smiling contemptuously. "Selene, how dare you mess around with another man at Dante's family gathering? Look at yourself! Have you no shame? Even your dress is torn. You look like a prostitute who has just finished off a client!"

She deliberately spoke in a loud voice, drawing the attention of the guests outside. Soon, a crowd had gathered around them.

Selene clutched the ripped fabric on her chest and tried to explain, "I wasn't the one who messed around tonight. I came here to propose to Dante. I'm not the one who's cheating! It's-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Dante cut her off abruptly. "Proposal? No way. I can't get married to a slut like you! The person I'm going to marry is Cassandra."

A teardrop rolled down Selene's cheek. She looked at him in pain mixed with disbelief, saying, "I have done so much for you. How could you do this to me?"

"Excuse me. I'm the one who has done a lot for you! I've been taking care of your family for a while now. Your poor and wretched family is only rich now because you sold yourself to me. The least you could've done is be loyal to me. But you couldn't even do just that!" Dante spat, trampling on Selene's dignity mercilessly.

"Dante, I would never cheat on you. You know how much I love you, and I know you love me too," Selene pleaded desperately.

"You cheated on me! How dare you say you love me? Who'd you fuck now? Is he upstairs? Ask him to come down!"

Selene gasped in shock and tried to defend herself. "I said I didn't cheat on you! There's no one upstairs!"

"Hey, why are there so many people here? Are you all here to greet me?" A drunken, slurred voice suddenly sounded.

A young man stumbled down the stairs.
