Helanie:
"So, will you marry me, please?" he asked this time, since I took a little longer to answer than he must have expected. The fact that a smile spread across his lips made me chuckle sarcastically.
Did he really think I was still the Helanie who would start celebrating just because he finally proposed?
That used to be all I cared about. I'd wait for him to pop the question — and he knew it. There were times he even hinted at it just to get me excited and then crush my hopes. He used to enjoy playing with my feelings.
I raised an eyebrow and stepped back to get a good look at his whole body.
"Oh my goddess!" Larissa screamed from behind me. My stepbrother gasped, and my father — who had just entered the house — looked so proud and happy.
What the hell!
"No!" I hissed, and immediately heard more gasps and some people swearing under their breath.
