The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

"Eltham, have you lost your mind? You know she's not into you" Piper had never, in her wildest dreams, imagined that Eltham would propose to Brittany under these circumstances. "Piper."

Eltham's expression remained calm. He genuinely wasn't bothered by whether Brittany had feelings for someone else. He believed that with enough time, he could make her fall for him. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

Piper whispered, her mind racing with countless possibilities. Maybe it was the Queen applying pressure.

Or perhaps, he needed the Lynette family's wealth to bolster his position.

"Nothing of the sort." Eltham thought Piper's imagination was running wild, shaking his head with sincerity in his eyes: "Piper, I like her."

Boom-

Piper's mental defenses shattered completely.

"In fact, it was me who asked my mother to arrange the marriage."

Eltham had never shared this with anyone else. Growing up with Piper and viewing her almost as a sister, he confided: "So, I don't mind if she has someone she likes. I believe I have the capability to win her affection—" Piper's face turned a shade of deep discomfort. She had always comforted herself thinking Eltham was coerced into the engagement with Brittany, never considering that Eltham might have developed genuine feelings for Brittany! Eltham failed to notice Piper's discomfort, his mind, and heart already devoted to Brittany.
