Chapter 1: The Proposal He Never Meant to Make
My high school sweetheart refused to marry me for 11 years, but changed his mind when he found out I'd inherited a lake house — I agreed, but on one condition.
Glenn and I had been together for 11 years.
We'd been dating since high school, and the only thing missing was a ring on my finger.
Every time I brought up marriage, he would always say things like:
"A wedding?
No.
We still need to buy a new car!"
Or:
"What's the difference?
We already live together.
What would change after we got married?"
I kept telling Glenn I didn't need some huge, expensive wedding.
It was simply important to me that we become a real family.
But he kept brushing me off anyway.
Then one day, I came home from work early.
I unlocked the front door and was about to step into the kitchen, where Glenn was talking on the phone.
That's when I heard him laugh and say:
"I'm going to propose to her.
I'm just waiting until the house is officially in her name.
I never saw her as my wife, and I was already planning to leave her.
But soon she'll have the house, so I can use her.
As soon as we get married, I'll convince her to add my name to the deed.
She still believes every word I say like a complete idiot."
I pressed myself against the wall, completely stunned.
Then I quietly slipped out of the house, hurried to my car, and drove away before he could notice me.
My grandfather had passed away a month earlier and left me his lake house, and of course, I'd told Glenn about it.
I truly loved Glenn.
But he clearly didn't love me.
All those years, I'd just been convenient for him.
And now he wanted to st*al from me too?
No.
That wasn't going to happen.
It was time for Glenn to learn his lesson.
I went back home and pretended I knew nothing.
I told Glenn that the lake house was already officially in my name.
The very next evening, he took me out to dinner.
And guess what?
He proposed.
I smiled and said:
"Of course.
My answer is yes.
But I have one condition.
You have to agree to it, or there won't be a wedding."
He smiled and asked:
"What condition?"
Oh, you should've seen the look on Glenn's face.

What was the one condition she gave Glenn?
