"Evelyn, don't go. Please. Just give me one more chance!"
"Let go of me."
Adrian only tightened his grip. "I'll change. From now on, my assistant can handle anything to do with Chloe. I won't let her come between us again!"
He had barely finished speaking when Damian punched him across the face.
Adrian staggered back, and a dark green velvet box slipped from his pocket. It hit the ground and sprang open, the emerald inside catching the sunlight.
Damian didn't go after him again. He stepped in front of me instead, checked my wrist for any sign of injury, and only then turned back to Adrian.
"She told you to let go."
Adrian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then bent down and picked up the box.
"Evelyn, you remember this necklace, don't you?"
Of course I did.
