The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Ronald chuckled softly, holding her hand. "I had it out with the Malones."

"I know."

"Without the Malones' support, I might be left with nothing," Ronald's voice was barely above a whisper.

"Ronald." She looked up at him, her gaze earnest. "I know the Malones don't like me, and I know it's because of me that you've had this falling out. During the time you were gone, I thought about us going our separate ways, but I feel-" "You're thinking of breaking up?" Ronald's face blanched. "Because the Malones disapprove?"

He was usually so composed, but anything involving Kari threw him completely off balance.

He gripped her hand a tad too tightly, causing Kari to wince. "Let go."

Realizing he was hurting her, Ronald immediately softened, blowing gently on her wrist. "Sorry."

Watching him in this vulnerable state, Kari's heart ached.

She sighed, "I wasn't finished speaking."

"I did think about us parting ways, but I can't do it." Kari's words were measured and deliberate. "Ronald, every day I find myself falling for you more and more. I know that if we were to separate, you might have a better future, but I don't want that." She licked her lips, struggling a bit with her words.

"Brittany offered me shares in the studio. With dividends and other financial gains, I might rake in a few million a year... I know it's peanuts compared to what the Malones have, but that's all I've got."

Ronald stared at her intently, a wave of joy washing over him. "So, what are you trying to say?"

"If you're cut off by the Malones, my earnings could easily support a comfortable life for us here in Imperial City." "So, can we "

"Yes." Ronald was ecstatic, wishing he could merge her into his very being. "I've never considered leaving you." Never.

"Kari, even if being with you means losing everything, I'll do everything I can to give you the best life possible."

Kari wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "Okay."

Ronald knew Kari cared for him, but he hadn't realized the depth of her feelings.

He kissed her forehead tenderly. "Kari, let's get married."

It was as if a switch had been flipped in Kari's mind.

She hadn't even had the chance to think, as tears streamed down her face.

She had imagined marrying Ronald.

But she hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Ronald wiped away her tears, his voice tender. "I actually planned a grand proposal with a diamond ring, roses. I had everything ready wanting to choose the perfect time and place, but I..." NovelDrama.Org

But in a moment of impulse, he had blurted out his proposal.

Kari, however, couldn't care less, nodding through her sobs. "Yes."

Ronald's eyes lit up with sheer joy. "Really?"

She had said yes?

Kari, tears still in her eyes, nodded. "Yes, I accept."

Their kiss was overwhelming, his hands burning hot, slightly trembling. "Kari, Kari..."

Kari clung to his neck, responding with all her might.

They never did finish their meal.

Kari went home, grabbed her ID, and that very afternoon, she and Ronald O get their marriage lice
