Top three playboys

After a delightful dinner with Annabelle, Edwards felt a surge of excitement as he made his way to meet his friends Lucas and Eric at their favorite bar. The night was still young, and he was looking forward to continuing their tradition of enjoying each other's company and indulging in the finest drinks.

As Edwards entered the bar, he spotted his friends sitting in their usual VIP corner, surrounded by an array of expensive wines and spirits. Taking a moment to admire the opulent setting, he joined them at the table, feeling the vibrant atmosphere envelop him.

The loud music and bustling atmosphere of the bar set the perfect backdrop for the trio's night out.

The top three playboys in the country, Edwards, Lucas, and Eric, three friends from a prominent family in the city of Louisville, were sitting at a VIP corner, enjoying their drinks and engaging in lively conversation. The table was adorned with various varieties of expensive wines and spirits, further adding to the extravagant atmosphere.

They were well-known for their extravagant lifestyle, consistently flashing their wealth and indulging in experiences meant to entice the opposite sex. Love and commitment were alien to them, as they reveled in their carefree existence, avoiding the trappings of emotional connections.

Lucas, the blond-haired slim and tall guy, exuded an undeniable charm. His grey eyes sparkled mischievously as he flashed his signature smile, which had the ladies swooning over him. Handsome and charismatic, Lucas had never had trouble finding companionship. Despite his privileged background, he despised working at his father's company and instead chose to live a carefree and nonchalant lifestyle.

On the other hand, Eric, a successful entrepreneur at the age of 27, embodied both physical and financial attractiveness. With his perfectly built body and handsome face, he captivated anyone who crossed his path. His dark brown hair matched his captivating hazel eyes, making him a true heartthrob. Raised by his paternal grandparents after losing his parents to a tragic car accident at a young age, Eric had overcome adversity and built a successful life for himself. However, his one flaw was his penchant for womanizing, which he indulged in without any remorse.

As the night progressed, and glasses were continuously refilled, Edwards took a deep breath before breaking the silence. His voice carried a tinge of seriousness that caught the attention of his friends.

"I have an announcement, guys," Edwards declared, his gaze shifting between Lucas and Eric.

"Why are you sounding so serious all of a sudden?" Lucas inquired, his voice reflecting a hint of concern as he poured himself another drink.

"Are we going on a tour or vacation?" Eric asked, unable to hide his curiosity.

Edwards's words hung in the air for a moment before he finally revealed his news, "I'm getting married by the end of the month."

The words reverberated through the minds of Lucas and Eric, leaving them momentarily speechless. Lucas took a large gulp of his drink, almost choking on it in his surprise. The trio's commitment to their nonchalant and carefree lifestyle had always been at the forefront of their minds, and the idea of marriage was something they had never considered.

"What... what do you mean, Edwards?" Eric managed to stammer, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"I mean exactly what I said," Edwards responded, his voice steady and firm.
