The Billionaire CEO Rejected Every Man for One Single Dad — Until Her Sister Revealed Why She Could Never Forget Him
Chapter 13
One year later, Ethan proposed.
He didn’t do it in a ballroom.
He didn’t hire a photographer.
He brought Victoria back to the lake where they had taken the photograph years earlier.
She recognized the place immediately.
“You remembered.”
“I remember everything.”
He took out a small box.
Victoria’s eyes filled with tears.
“Ethan.”
“I don’t want to pretend the last ten years didn’t happen.”
She nodded.
“They did.”
“I don’t want to erase them.”
“Neither do I.”
“I want to build something that couldn’t exist when we were younger.”
He opened the box.
“A family based on truth.”
Victoria laughed through her tears.
“That’s a very serious proposal.”
“I’m a serious man.”
“Sometimes.”
He smiled.
“Will you marry me?”
She looked at the lake.
Then at him.
Then thought about the girl she had been ten years ago.
She had loved him.
Lost him.
Waited for him.
Blamed him.
And finally found the truth.
She took his hand.
“Yes.”
Ethan smiled.
She kissed him.
For the first time, there was no fear behind it.
Only choice.
