Jack and I did everything the other way around. The day he lured me into his office - and it was the first day we met - he proposed to me. You'd think a man like him - perhaps a little cold, but still striking and very unattainable - would ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You might think he must be madly in love.

No. He proposed to me. A complete stranger who had never even heard of him. To a stranger who had been dumped by her fiancé just a few weeks earlier. You might think I laughed in his face, called him crazy and a few other names, and then walked away as quickly as possible. Well... I did all that except leave.

It took him minutes to talk me into a business deal... um, I mean marriage, and only a few days for us to officially tie the knot marriage. The happiest day of my life. Magic. Open the champagne!.. No. It was the worst day. Jack Hawthorne turned out to be completely different from what I imagined him to be.

I blamed him for my mistake. I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that looked straight into mine without question, and the frown on his face that I never knew I would eventually become so enchanted with.

Shortly after he said that I was the biggest mistake in his life, everything began to change. No, he still didn't say much, but anyone could string a few words together. His actions spoke loudest to me. And day after day my heart began to think of him in its own way.

In one second he was a nobody. In the next second he became everything. In one second he was out of reach. The next second he seemed completely mine. In one second it seemed to me that we loved each other. The next second it turned out that it was all just a lie.

In the end, I was Rose and he was Jack. We were doomed from the start with these names. Did you expect anything different?
