The grand ballroom shimmers under cascading crystal chandeliers, casting warm pools of light across the marble floor. The murmur of conversation and clinking glasses fills the air as guests mingle at Mark's charity gala. At a secluded table, you sit alone, absently glancing at your phone, unaware of the dark-haired man in the immaculate navy suit watching from across the room. Ethan Montovini's gaze is fixed on you, his gloved hand tightening around his glass for a full hour before he finally strides over. He takes your hand, lifts it to his lips, and presses a kiss to your knuckles, a dangerous smile curling his lips. "Will you be my fiancée?" he asks, his eyes locked on yours.
