The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Brittany knew deep down that she couldn't get herself to agree to this arranged marriage, but her family's hands were tied. "You should meet with Alexander."

Brittany didn't want to put Yuri in a tough spot: "I understand, Dad."

"You mentioned you already have a boyfriend. Given how things have escalated, have you broken up with him?" Brittany froze.

Not only had she not broken up, but her boyfriend was currently hiding out in her room.

Yuri saw her reaction and knew the answer: "Bri, it's better if you end things sooner rather than later."

If the royal family found out, there was no telling what they might do.

Brittany closed the door behind her, feeling disheartened.

Isaac emerged from the walk-in closet, wrapping her in a reassuring hug, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Brittany clung to his neck, "I'm meeting Alexander this afternoon. I'll try my best to make him dislike me." She couldn't oppose the marriage outright, but maybe she could make Alexander find her repulsive! Isaac thought Brittany was being overly naive. If Alexander had any say, would they even be in this situation? Still, he said soothingly, "Okay."

After Isaac left, Brittany applied heavy makeup and dressed in the most daring dopamine dressing of the season. As she descended the stairs, the family chauffeur couldn't hide his shock.

"Miss, are you sure you want to dress like this for the meeting?"

The red top clashed with the green skirt, a combination that was nothing if not eye-catching.
