“Thankyou” My expression must have been one of elation thus Xander could not help but clutch my arm and look at me closely.
“After so many days you smile because of this deal?”
“Elena, here take a seat.” Uncomfortable with the atmosphere and watching Xander holding my burned arm from cooking today, Diana offered sweetly only for me to refuse.
“You..you were here just for this?” I nodded, making Xander’s face darken. When his pressure became too much, I flinched, making him leave my arm like he had been burned.
He just realized that there was a wound from when I fell, and it opened due to the force he applied.
“Elena...”
“It’s alright just a scratch.”
From the corner of my eye, I saw Diana’s face did not look good as she saw Xander looking at me with concern.
"Hey Elena! Your diamond ring is so beautiful, it’s a couple’s ring, right?
Where did you buy it from? Actually, I really loved this couple ring, but Xandr disliked it and even threw his own away, thus I am thinking of buying another one for him."
It was the wedding ring that we exchanged and Xander realizing how much I have always cherished our marriage quickly pulled his hand down preventing me from watching that his fingers were empty and he had thrown it away, but I pretended not to notice.
I simply gave a smile.
“These are not significant; you can buy them anywhere.”
Diana’s smile fell as she saw that I did not get angry at all, and she had no way to cry to Xander whereas my now ex-husband did not look good.
When I walked out of the diner, I took off my ring and tossed it away on the ground, trampling it under my shoes. This marriage ruined my life and killed my baby.
I again picked it up with resentment and tears and this time threw it in the trash can angrily.
The very next moment I received a call which I picked up sniffling, not even realizing that I was crying right now.
“You did good by throwing it away.” My eyes widened when I heard the raspy masculine voice on the other side- Mikhail Giovanni.
The merciless god of death.
“Mikhail?”
“It never suited you honestly. Diamonds are common pebbles anyways so when you become my woman, I will give you a ring encrusted with a small golden rose- it would be a rare sapphire.
Rose because you like that flower and sapphire because they resemble your golden eyes.”
“This is a business deal.” I spoke.
