I was overjoyed until I found out why my boyfriend proposed to me only three months after we met.

MY BOYFRIEND PROPOSED TO ME ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER WE MET — I WAS OVER THE MOON UNTIL I FOUND OUT WHY Three months ago, I met Ethan at a coffee shop.

We both reached for the same book and laughed. From that moment, everything was a whirlwind — dinners under the stars, surprise weekend trips, and late-night chats.

I fell for him so fast. When Ethan proposed to me at the same spot where we met, I said yes without a second thought.

We quickly set a date for a small, intimate wedding. The days flew by, and soon it was the night of our pre-wedding party.

Halfway through the evening, Ethan's sister Olivia pulled me aside. "So, how does it feel to be part of our crazy family?

" she asked, eyes twinkling. "It feels amazing," I said, smiling.

"I can't believe how lucky I am to have met Ethan. "

Olivia laughed, but her expression shifted slightly. "Lucky indeed.

You know, I still can't believe you two managed to pull this off. You two deserve an Oscar for this performance," she said, sipping her drink.

My heart SANK. "What do you mean?

" Olivia's eyes widened as she realized her mistake.

"Wait, you didn't know? " she stammered, face paling.

"I thought. .

. I thought you were in on it.

" I felt a cold wave of shock.

"In on WHAT? "

Olivia glanced around, lowering her voice. "Ethan's... ⬇️

 

A whirlwind romance of dreamy dates and heartfelt conversations is sparked by Ava and Ethan’s instant connection. Ava is overjoyed when Ethan proposes to her just three months later.

However, as their wedding draws closer, a shocking revelation poses a threat of shattering their fairytale love. You know those times when you feel like you’re in a romance novel?

That was me when I met Ethan on a sunny spring day. When we unintentionally touched, I was browsing the shelves of my favorite coffee shop and bookstore for a new book.

Of all things, we both reached for the same copy of Pride and Prejudice. I remember looking up and almost falling in love with his brown, warm eyes.

My heart skipped a beat when he gave me a smile with dimples and charm. I’m sorry, oh,” he said.

It appears that we have similar tastes in books. I laughed out of fear.

That’s fine. You can possess it.

“Why don’t we share it? ” I was able to smell the woodsy scent of his perfume because he had leaned in close enough.

Perhaps over coffee? “I couldn’t possibly say no.

We sipped coffee and talked about our favorite books as we relaxed on a comfy sofa in the shop’s back corner for the afternoon. I was completely in love by the time he asked for my number.

That marked the beginning of our whirlwind romance. dinner under the stars, unexpected getaways on the weekend, and deep, late-night conversations that make you feel like you’ve known the person for a long time.

I had the impression that I was in a romantic comedy. At that point, I should have realized that it was too good to be true.

Ethan proposed to me at the same coffee shop three months after we first met. Everything looked like something out of a fairy tale because it was sunset and the sky was painted pink and orange.

He abruptly got down on one knee while we were seated on the sofa in our usual spot. As he extended a ring that sparkled almost as much as his eyes, my heart raced.

In such a short amount of time, Ava, you have brought so much joy into my life. Will you marry me?

” I couldn’t find the words, so I just nodded with tears in my eyes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

He scooped me up into his arms and grinned as he put the ring on my finger. It was flawless.

We decided to have a small, intimate wedding a few miles outside of town on a lake. We reserved a weekend getaway for just close friends and family.

The party before the wedding was a happy blur of toasts, clinking glasses, and laughter. Olivia, Ethan’s sister, was as bubbly as ever, flitting about and making everyone laugh with her clever remarks.

As we made our way to the restrooms, I teased her by saying, “Olivia, you’re going to spill that drink. ” She was wildly gesturing with her glass.

She laughed me off right away. Olivia stated, “You know, I still can’t believe you two managed to pull this off.

” I was too caught up in the festivities to notice the slight shift in her expression. I shook my head in confusion.

She took a sip of her drink and asked, “Pull what off? ” “The whole fake marriage thing,” she said casually.

I mean, I know it was the only way Ethan could get the inheritance, but you two deserve an Oscar for how well you performed. My heart broke.

When Olivia realized her error, her eyes widened. “What do you mean, fake marriage?

” Wait, you weren’t aware? She mumbled, her face turning pale.

I had the impression that you were involved. I was hit with a cold wave of shock.

With a lower voice, Olivia asked, “In on what? ” She looked around.

The inheritance of Ethan Ethan would only be eligible to receive his portion of our grandfather’s estate if he married within six months of the will’s reading. We were all of the opinion that this was simply a convenient arrangement.

I felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me as I stumbled back. The realization made the room appear to spin.

Everything, from the romantic gestures to the sudden proposal, was done to get money. My relationship with Ethan was not real at any point.

It was unbelievable to me. The only sound in the room was Ethan’s steady breathing, so I waited until he fell asleep.

The bedside table contained his phone. I picked it up, my hands shaking, desperate to learn the whole story.

What I found when I started scrolling through his messages completely shattered me. The situation was mocked in texts to his friends.

He had written, “The inheritance is mine in a few months. ” I can’t believe she gave in.

“With each message, his cruel words cut deeper than any physical wound, and my heart sank further. ” He had manipulated and abused me for financial gain.

Although I had a sincere love for him, to him, I was just a means to an end. I felt like a fool, like a young girl who had read fairy tales.

But then I felt a fire start to burn within me. I got back into bed and placed his phone exactly where I found it.

I had a clear strategy for making Ethan regret playing me. When the wedding day arrived, the location was picture perfect.

Every corner was covered in flowers, and the gathering guests were enveloped in a magical atmosphere created by the soft glow of fairy lights. However, the feeling of betrayal that I carried within me made my heart heavy.

Every step made me feel like I was marching toward my own demise as I walked down the aisle. I could now see through the cloak that Ethan was wearing as he stood at the altar, looking every bit the groom.

The calculating, cold man who had manipulated me was visible to me. I took a deep breath when it was my turn to say my vows, my voice steady but emotional.

“Ethan,” I began, “I thought I had found the love of my life when we first met. ” I thought we could have a bright future together.

However, I am here today to reveal the truth, not to wed you. The guests’ eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity as they heard a murmur.

With a tinge of fear on his face, Ethan’s smile faltered. I continued, my voice getting stronger, “You see, this wedding was never about love for Ethan.

” The issue was money. I was the ideal pawn in his game because he needed to get married to get his inheritance.

Ethan’s face became pale as gasps filled the air. What are you doing, Ava?

He hissed and tried to grab me by the hand, but I backed away. I said, “I’m reclaiming my worth,” standing tall.

I ought to be loved by someone who appreciates me for who I am rather than what I possess. I won’t wed a man who sees me as nothing more than a tool for his benefit.

With that, I turned and left the altar, my spirit lifted but my heart pounding. I was followed by the shock and whispers, but I felt free.

His deception was no longer binding on me. Ethan tried to contact me several times in the days that followed, but I refused to talk to him.

I was reminded of my betrayal with each text and phone call. In order to recover from the severe wounds he had caused, I required time to process my feelings.

My broken heart was soothed by the support of my friends and family, who rallied around me. My best friend Lisa stayed by my side and helped me put the pieces of my life back together.

She held my hand and said, “Ava, you’re stronger than you think. ” You deserve far more than he does.

I slowly began to rebuild myself with their love and support. I put my attention on the things that made me happy, like resuming pastimes I had given up and spending time with people who truly cared about me.

To reclaim a place that once brought me happiness, not to dwell on the past, I returned to the coffee shop where it all began. I was at peace one evening as the sun set, illuminating the familiar landscape with a warm glow.

I had survived hell and back, but I was stronger and more resilient. I was almost broken by Ethan’s lies and manipulation, but in the end, he had only strengthened my resolve.

I was confident that I would one day find true love—someone who valued me for who I truly was. Before that, I was content with knowing how much I was worth and accepting the path to healing and self-discovery.

I’m realizing as I sit here and think back on everything that has happened that life is full of unexpected turns and turns. The way we choose to respond to them is what matters.

I made the decision to defend myself, to reject deceit, and to embrace my own strength. I also discovered a new kind of love—love for myself—through that choice.
