What do you want?” I asked rudely. Bryan’s smirk returned, this time with a hint of mischief. “Simple. MARRY ME.”   The absurdity of the suggestion made me laugh out loud, a sharp, bitter sound that echoed in the quiet bar. I laughed so hard that tears trickled down my face a little bit.  “Excuse you?”   “You heard me,” Bryan said, his expression annoyingly calm.   I shook my head, disbelief written all over my face. “You have got to be joking. Right?”   “I am dead serious,” Bryan replied, leaning forward slightly. “Think about it. You show up with me a tech billionaire, charming as hell, and entirely out of john’s league. The headlines alone would be worth it. Don't you think so?”   “You are clearly insane right now.”  “Possibly,” he admitted with a shrug. “But I am also offering you a chance to take control of the narrative. Instead of being the heartbroken ex-fiancée, you will be the woman …” My heart pounded as I considered his words, crazy absurd words. The idea was outrageous, borderline ridiculous.  But wasn’t my entire life a ridiculous mess right now? What did I have to lose? Is there anything to lose? “And what’s in it for you?” I asked, suspicion creeping into my voice. “What do you want in return?” What will Sophia do when there's a marriage proposal from her ex’s stepbrother who is a tech billionaire waiting for her hours after she gets jilted on the night of her engagement party? How will she survive being thrust into a new world of power, conflict, wealth, secrets, and betrayal? Is her billionaire saviour who she really thinks he is?
