The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Yuri was taken aback when he saw Brittany coming down the stairs.

"Weren't you supposed to crash at a friend's place last night?"

He had gotten up early, but there was no sign of Brittany coming home.

A blush crept onto Brittany's cheeks. "I got in late."

Yuri, who had seen it all before, could tell she was hiding something. "Bri, were you out on a date with Willard?"

"No," Brittany shook her head. "Dad, Willard and I don't really click."

She had already had that talk with Willard.

Yuri frowned in concern. "Then who was it? Someone I know?"

"Dad, really, it's nothing." Brittany sat down, reaching for a bowl of oatmeal. In that moment, as she lowered her head, the necklace around her neck sparkled brilliantly. "Is that a new necklace?"

Yuri had spotted a clue.

Brittany, not wanting to flaunt her ring around town, had threaded it onto a necklace instead.

She instinctively covered the ring, her cheeks flushing. "Dad, please, I'll tell you when the time is right."
