You Lie so Beautifully

“The engagement will end within a year. So, it means you’re an emergency fiancée.”  

Olivia, the adopted daughter of the Bennett family. Once a doll and a maid for their sickly daughter, she suddenly receives a marriage proposal.  

The suitor is Eric Robert, the sole heir of the Duke Robert family.  

…He was Olivia’s unforgettable first love.  

“I’m sorry, Your Grace, but I must decline the proposal.”  

Carrying an unspeakable secret and starting a new life, Eric was a part of her past she needed to forget.  

“…You already abandoned me once. Isn’t that enough?”  

“Then what if I don’t abandon you this time?  If this were a real engagement, would you accept, Olivia?”  

Until the man she thought had cast her away reached for her hand.

“Then consider it another dream. Just you.”  

As his heated touch traced her skin, Olivia finally let go of her last shred of reason.  

“I’ll remember everything this time.”
