Chapter 8 - The Engagement Ring
Vincent stopped entirely within Vanessa’s personal space. He looked down at her with pure, unfiltered disgust.
"I don't need anything from your father," Vincent replied smoothly, entirely devoid of human mercy. "And you don't make demands in my house."
Vanessa physically staggered backward as the temperature in the room dropped ten degrees. Before she could scream again, Vincent casually reached into his black suit jacket.
He pulled out the massive, five-million-dollar diamond engagement ring. Vanessa had given it to his security team for professional cleaning yesterday, expecting him to place it back on her finger tonight.
Vincent held the glittering diamond between his fingers. He didn't hand it back to her.
With absolute, flawless precision, Vincent turned and dropped the heavy diamond ring directly into the steel trash can beside the front door. The heavy clink echoed across the dead-silent foyer.
"The wedding is canceled," Vincent announced perfectly, completely executing her entire high-society future.
Vanessa let out an apocalyptic shriek of pure, unadulterated terror. "Vincent, no! You can't do this! My father will kill me if I lose this merger!"
"Get off my property," Vincent commanded softly, his dark eyes flashing with lethal danger. "Before I let the dog out of timeout."
