Four or Dead

Chapter 58

Emma

A silence falls over Zane and me as I try to take in exactly what I'm looking at. He isn't proposing I know that, but it's just as big a shock to be presented with a ring like this. I mean I know we are technically engaged, but this...makes it real. If I accept this ring I am announcing to anyone who sees it that I belong to Zane Dalton. When I had thought about getting married I wanted my boys to be the ones asking, and now I feel like the specialness of being proposed to might be lost for good

"I-I don't know what to say," I say breathlessly keeping my eyes fixed on the ring

"Say you'll wear it tonight. I want the world to know what a beautiful fiance I have." He says removing the ring from the box and reaching for my left hand. .'

I want to pull away. I want to curse him and refuse him in every way possible but I can't. So I let him take my hand and I cringe at the feeling of the cold metal brushing against the sensitive skin of my finger. It feels more like a noose wrapping around me and trapping me here. (2

burn with possession and male pride for how he has just claimed me. I can feel the heat from his stare prickling my skin and not in the good way. My fight or flight reflexes have been going haywire the second he came in and saw me in this dress

He wants more I know it, but I can never let him touch me that way again. But how long can I keep him away? .' I

He starts to move forward so that our faces are close enough that he could kiss me, but at that moment a knock comes at the door making me jump back. Zane growls in frustration and pauses for a moment closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths. When he opens them again his cool calm facade returns and he stands. He straightens out his suit and walks gracefully over to the suit door and pulls it open

"Sir I have a new dress here." A woman's voice says nervously

"Yes, bring it in." He says firmly before closing the door a little too harshly behind her

She looks young and scared, so I try to offer her a small smile. She returns my smile with a small one of her own but keeps her head low and holds the garment bag out to me

may not want to be here and I may hate everything about this place, but no way will I let that change me. I am not cold and distant like Zane, and I'm not about to start now. His employees are innocent and I will treat them with kindness unti they prove to be a threat to me. So when I reach for the dress I
