On the day of our supposed engagement ceremony, Robert was affectionately hugging Diana at the celebration banquet for Diana's concert when he saw Anthony's engagement with me. The event was broadcast all over the city and as he watched, his eyes turned red.

Anthony looked at me and asked, "Have you thought this through? Can you really forget about Robert?"
I spread my hands helplessly. “I gave him enough chances. This is the third time he’s canceled our engagement for the same woman. Maybe this is fate telling me we were never meant to be together. Even the warm feeling can't thaw a frozen heart, can they?"
Anthony smiled. "If you're sure about this, I want to hold a grand engagement ceremony. The Norton Family has quite a list of guests to invite and I want everyone to know exactly who I’m marrying.”
I looked at him, trying to peer into Anthony's heart. What I saw was unwavering determination. Summoning a courage, I didn’t know I had, I answered, “Alright.”
