Elena

I pouted my lips, staring at the big diamond around my finger.

I want to give you this ring…but it’s not an engagement ring

Those were Marvin’s words when he gave me the ring yesterday. I mean, I wasn’t completely stupid, so I knew he wouldn’t propose to me-but still. Was it really necessary to embarrass me like that in a packed

restaurant?

As if things couldn’t get any worse, we just had to run into his ex’s parents. Misty’s mom and dad were just as nosy as her and had no issue digging their noses into our relationship. At least I knew where she got it from.

“Anyway, it’s time to get ready for work.” I took a deep breath and sat behind the vanity table before taking the ring off my finger. The ring was nice, but the last thing I wanted was for people to make their own conclusions.

I reached for Anya’s music box, which was right in front of me, and opened it to hide the ring. To my surprise, I noticed a small opening at the bottom and picked up the little piece of wood.

“A keyhole?”

Who knew? Maybe Anya was into puzzles. The thought of Anya’s fate made my stomach turn. Just when I thought I could finally give it a place, it brought me back to my very own fate.

Anya lost her life for just being with Tiago, and here I was playing mob wife for some man who had just gotten out of prison. Not to forget, I cut off all contact with my family-but it was all worth it.

I did it so I could be with Marvin.

As crazy as it sounded, I was eager to get to work and didn’t mind a change of environment. Being in this house was nice and all, but being without Marvin made me realize that I enjoyed my everyday life.

My dad’s house was not the biggest, but there weren’t any maids giving me dirty looks either, so there was that. At least I had Marvin to keep me company, but it wasn’t always like that. He was a busy person, which I had to live with.

I grabbed my phone to send Marvin a text.

Elena:

You left early this morning.

I forgot to tell you I love you!

Offended, I frowned my eyebrows as a blue checkmark appeared on my screen. Marvin left me on read? Who the hell is he leaving on read?

Elena:
