“Hmmph Lucy speeyed, holding up the ring
“Looks like Jacks completely me with you. Not only did he give you a villa in Rivera Sea, but he even gifted you this diamond ring.”
Something inside me mapped. A surge of strength I didn’t know I had drove me forward as I desperately tried to snatch the ring back.
“Give it bark” I begged, tears streaming down my face.
Lucy, right before my eyes, threw the ring forcefully down a drain.
“No” I screamed, endlapting to the ground in despair as I watched the ring disappear. My body trembled uncontrollably as my mind went blank, overwhelmed by the loss
Lucy wasn’t finished. She tore up my parents wedding photo and spat venomously. “Slut! You even secretly took wedding photos with Jack? Let me tell you, dreaming about taking my daughter’s place and marrying into the Torres family is laughable!”
My heart thattered completely.

“So, you think you can steal my man?” Evelynn barked, her voice seething with fury.
“Drag her to the bathroom! I’ll tie her up and shove her head in the toilet. Let’s clean her filthy hody with toilet water!”
As Lucy and Evelynn’s friends grabbed me and began dragging me toward the hotel bathroom, my heart sank into the depths of despair.
