Robin stood still, his eyes locked on Alice as she shamelessly paraded her affection.
He couldn’t find words, not for this.

She wanted everything. All of it. And yet, it was so easy for him to give it to her, if only she deserved it.
He had come from far away, carrying with him a promise–an offer of everything she could ever want. Wealth, comfort, a life of luxury.
But none of it mattered. Not when she wasn’t worthy.
Alice’s eyes sparkled like she had won the world. “Robin, you’re my Prince Charming,” she declared, her voice ringing out.
Who said our engagement was over? That was just a joke between us
“I’ve been planning a surprise for you.
…
“She giggled, almost eerily.
“You know, Robin, the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew. I knew I loved you.
“You’re the one my heart has always longed for.”
The room fell silent. No one knew what to think or say.
Outside, the comments flooded in.
“What is going on with her? The Millers‘ woman is insane.”
“Is she having some kind of breakdown?”
“She was the one saying she was going to crush Robin, and now this? What a mess.”
“What’s the surprise? This is like some bad drama.”
“I think someone’s gone cuckoo.”
“I think we should see how this plays out. See how low the b*tch can go.”
“Ever since the day I was born, I’ve been thinking about you. Every single day.”
The crowd and the Internet almost hurled up collectively.
“I know the bar’s in Tartarus, but holy cow she managed to limbo it!”

“She’s been thinking about him every single day since her birth? What is this? Some sort of C–rate romance flick?”
“B*tch thought the guy was a loser just moments ago.”
“Motherf*cker said she was the woman out of his reach

“Now she turns around and calls him her Prince Charming? And she claims everything her family did with the marriage contract was a joke?”
“Hey, I have a joke. Alice Miller.”
“They aren’t clowns. At this point, they’re the whole circus.”
Robin’s patience was wearing thin. He gave her a cold look and shook his head. “Stop. At least try to keep some dignity.”
Alice, however, ignored his words. She pushed past the crowd, rushing toward him with a smile that never quite reached her eyes. “Robin, please, don’t do this,” she pleaded, her voice dripping with sweetness that didn’t belong.
“I know I’ve been tough on you, but everything that happened before, it doesn’t matter now. I’ve changed. I’m telling you, it’s all in the past.
Our families, Robin … they’ve known each other for so long. Think about that.
When my grandfather was young, he was broke. He didn’t know where to turn. Your grandfather stepped in, offering 150,000 when we were at our lowest. That’s how the Millers got to where we are now.
“Without him, we wouldn’t have what we have today. And that money? Back then, it was everything.
“If your grandfather and mine were just casual acquaintances, why would he have helped us? Think about it, Robin. That bond between our families–it means something. It’s not just business.”
She let the silence hang for a moment before speaking again, her smile wide with a kind of pride.
“We’re the next generation, Robin. It’s up to us to honor their wishes. To keep that legacy alive.
“Their dream, Robin, was for us to be together. For our families to unite.”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Is that what you really want? Or is it the Millers‘ dream?”
Alice nodded without hesitation. “It is my dream. And I swear, Robin, I’ve never thought less of you. Never. “All those things I did before, they were just tests. I wanted to know if you could handle the pressure.
“I did it because I care about you. I wanted to see if you could deal with people’s doubts. If you could handle everything they threw at you. I did it to protect us. So we could build something strong together.
“But I was worried. I was worried that with all this money, you might change. So many women have come around since you got rich.
“They’re after you, Robin. They don’t care about you. They only want what you have.
“They’re all just using you, Robin. Every single one of them.
“I’m your fiancée, Robin. I’m the only one who cares about you.
