Pretend You Love Me Novel – On the day of my wedding, my fiancé made an outrageous choice—he live-streamed his proposal to my cousin. In a spontaneous act, they eloped, leaving me behind to shoulder the shame of being the infamous jilted bride.
When I was lost and desperate, the wealthiest man in Almaira, Alden Cruz, stepped onto the stage and knelt before me, his posture both bold and vulnerable.
“Marisette Quinn, I knew I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you at the Gala Auction. Will you marry me?”
Though I initially declined, Alden was undeterred. His fervor only intensified, turning into an all-consuming pursuit. On my birthday, he went so far as to spend millions renting every advertisement screen throughout the city, broadcasting his passionate declaration for the world to see. It took me three long years, but eventually, I consented to his proposal.
That day, I became the envy of every woman around me—some might say I had saved the galaxy in a past life to deserve a man like him. Yet, on the eve of our engagement, I overheard a conversation that irreparably shattered my illusion.
