Chapter 247

“I can handle my own drinks, Natalia,” I reply, working to keep my voice even as the bar tender delivers two sparkling glasses of

prosecco.

“Clearly,” Natalia remarks, smirking at me. “You cannot.”

I roll my eyes a little and reach for my and Daniel’s glasses when suddenly Natalia reaches for my left hand, quick as a whip, a little hiss on her breath.

Shocked, I turn to her as she clasps my hand, pulling it closer to her so that she can stare at my ring.

“He gave it to you?” she asks, looking up into my face with wide. eyes. “This engagement ring?”

I hesitate, a little shocked. “Yes?” I reply, hoping it’s the right answer. “Daniel thought it would be…good. For me to have his mother’s ring.”

I’m a little shocked by Natalia’s reaction as she turns her eyes once again to the sparkling diamond and then drops my hand as if it’s a hot coal. She turns her face up to mine again, glaring at me as she grabs her drink. “Don’t be a fool, girl,” she sneers. “That ring was never Daniel’s. If you have it, it’s because he wanted you to.”
