“Kira, are you sure you want to marry me on the 7th?“.
“Absolutely.”
“Great. I’ll come for you as soon as I finish things
soon as I finish things in New Zealand on the 7th.”
After hanging up, Kira Claydon smiled faintly, feeling like it was a dream.
If someone had told her before that she’d marry someone she’d known for less than six months, she would have thought it ridiculous.
Everyone knew her biggest wish was to marry her childhood crush, Harry Fellon, whom she’d loved for 12 years.
But now, she was about to give up on Harry and marry someone else.
After hanging up, Kira sat on the sofa.
At the same time, a live news interview with Harry, CEO of the Fellon Group, played on the TV.
He wore a custom–made suit, looking handsome and confident. His almond–shaped eyes gave off a warm, affectionate illusion.
The reporter smiled and teased, “We’ve finished the questions about Fellon Group’s business plans. Mind if we ask some personal questions, Mr. Fellon? You’re handsome, wealthy, the dream bachelor for many women. I’m just asking on behalf of all the ladies here.”
Harry nodded politely. “Go ahead.”

After all, she once joked with Harry. “I’ll only wait until you’re 30. If you don’t marry me by then, I will not want you anymore.”
But no one knew she wasn’t the one Harry planned to marry.

After graduation, because Harry wanted to start a business, she gave up a 300,000–a–year job to build it with him from scratch.
She spent 12 years on Harry, firmly believing true love could overcome any hardship.
But two weeks ago, she found out the villa and blue diamond Harry bought were gifts for a woman named Felicia Halden. That’s when she realized how foolish she’d been these past 12 years.
In seven days, she’ll turn 30.
