3.Chapter 3 It Is Him

Isabella stood next to the stage, and everybody caught every word she said. Nathan, Terence, and the crowd beelined to her.

“Isabella Sorenson! Have you flipped your lid?” Nathan’s face was all red.

“No kidding! What’s that even mean?” Winona added, looking all shook up.

“Are you crazy? You’re practically giving away your assets by doing this!” Lorelai was devastated.

Isabella completely ignored the people behind her and focused on the man before her. “Sir, do you hear me? Marry me, and you will have a fortune in three years. It’s a bargain.”

The man’s clear gaze met hers, and he chuckled. “You know, guys usually do the proposing.” His voice was low and sexy.

Isabella was speechless, the crowd zipped it for a hot second, then split their sides laughing. They figured he ditched her.

Nathan almost couldn’t resist the urge to storm forward and kick Isabella. “Isabella! Get back here right now!”

The man’s low voice sounded right after Nathan finished his sentence. “I’ll marry you.”

Complete silence ensued.

“My name is Clayton Murray. I’m 28 years old and single. I work at Rayson International. Ms. Isabella Sorenson, will you marry me?” Clayton fixed his gaze upon Isabella.

Tears fell from Isabella’s big eyes. “Thank you! Yes, I will!”

Inside, she’s throwing high fives to luck. Finally, she could breathe. Didn’t matter who he was as long as she was pulling herself out of the quicksand.

And just like that, the crowd went wild.
