Marc stood there, stunned. He was looking back and forth between me and Ethan.

"Evelyn, what's going on here?" His gaze landed on our tightly clasped hands. I coughed awkwardly and tried to pull my hand away, but Ethan held it tightly.

"Marc, this is my... boyfriend, Ethan." I forced myself to introduce him. "As for the news today, it's all media speculation. We won't be getting... engaged. I'm sorry." Marc's expression instantly darkened like the stormy sky. He stared at me intently. A flash of hurt and anger crossed his face.

"Explain? What's there to explain?" He sneered. "Evelyn, I've given you everything, and yet, you're shamelessly flirting with another man right in front of me? I was wrong about you. You're just a deceitful bitch!"
