Revenge Wears A Ring Chapter 56
Larissa's POV Still reeling from the secrets Shauna had shared, I wasn’t looking where I was going. My heel caught on something, my foot slipped slightly and I bumped into someone.“Oh my God, I am so sorry.” I said, already reaching out in apology.The woman I had bumped into turned around.And the world paused.Because it wasn’t just some country club stranger.It was Londyn.My sister.I froze. She froze. The space around us seemed to blur into nothingness.“Londyn?” I asked, my voice small.Her mouth parted slightly, like she couldn’t believe it either. She didn’t say anything at first, just stared. Her perfectly done makeup didn’t flinch, but her drip on her clutch tightened. “Larissa.”This was the first time we’d seen each other since the Patterson Financial quarterly dinner. The same night, she made Brayden and me kiss to ‘prove’ our marriage wasn’t a sham. And before that, there was the dinner at my parents’ where she had debuted the man that was supposed to be my fiancé as

Larissa's POV Gwen was back in town. I knew this because I’d overheard Brayden’s conversation with her.On one hand, I was relieved. Gwen had been nice to me and was one of the few people who despite the murder accusation hanging over my head, hadn’t treated me like death. But I couldn’t shake the uncomfortable thought of her and Brayden.They had history. The women at brunch had certainly made it sound like they went way back and the picture in Tiffany’s house had proved that they had. I was still trying to convince myself that I was okay with the idea of her and Brayden having history. It wasn’t working.So, yeah. I was glad not to have to navigate that potential minefield just yet.Besides, it wasn’t as if I needed Gwen with me every step of the way. I wasn’t completely helpless in the fashion department.I stepped out of the car in a silk forest green gown that I had found at the back of my closet.Earlier, when I had stepped into the living room. Brayden had looked me over and s

Larissa's POV She liked it.She liked my work.It shouldn’t have mattered. But it did. Maybe too much.A couple of days had passed since Larissa had mentioned the painting.Since she had sat across from me, eyes wide and incredulous, asking if I’d really painted the ballerinas in her room and the field of flowers at Tiffany’s. Since she had asked to see my sketch pad, and I had said no, like a startled deer in headlights. I had said it with a sharp, final tone that made it seem like she had asked to crack my ribcage open and read the very contents of my innards to the entire world.Sure, some of what I said that day had been true. Sketches were raw and emotional, and most times, one of the most vulnerable parts of a person laid bare. But that wasn’t my entire reason for declining her access to my sketches.She had no idea that nearly every page of my most recent sketch pad held some version of her.Her profile. Her hands. Her hair tied up and loose. Her scowl when she was annoyed abo

Larissa's POV The ride home was quiet.Not awkwardly so, just… still. The kind of still that seeps into your thoughts and expands until that’s all that’s in your head.I sat in the backseat of the sleek black car that Tiffany’s driver had brought me in, the tinted windows casting the passing streets in a soft gray haze. Outside, the world glided by in the afternoon’s warm sun.I stared out the window, one hand resting loosely on my lap, the other fidgeting with my wedding ring.I kept thinking about the painting.That field of wildflowers was engulfed in flames.Brayden had made that. Painted it with his own hands. And it didn’t look like the efforts of a teenage hobbyist dabbling with watercolors and canvas. No, that painting had weight, depth, and emotion. A soul, maybe. It meant something. Maybe not to everyone, but definitely to him.But yet, I had never heard him mention painting. Not once.And I was supposed to be his wife. Not his real wife sure, but I had been living with him
Revenge Wears A Ring Chapter 52
Larissa's POV With just Tiffany and me left in the conservatory, the silence that followed was soft but not awkward.Tiffany set a used napkin on the table and turned to me, with steepled fingers. “You were very composed, Larissa. And the ladies liked you. That’s good. But still, you should be careful.”I blinked. “Careful?”She gestured to the food and drinks table. “Yes. With what you eat. What you drink. What you breathe in even. You can’t just have anything. It’s not proper.”I paused. Had I had one too many pastries for polite society standards? Had she been mentally counting my calories for me? Had I failed some sort of daughter-in-law test? “Maybe I shouldn’t have had that second croissant?”“Not the croissant.”It took me a beat to understand what she was getting at. “Oh. Yeah. The mimosa.”“The mimosa.” She gave me a patient, maternal look that made me feel like I was a child she was trying so hard not to scold. “Do you know how much sugar is in that thing? That’s not even t
Revenge Wears A Ring Chapter 51
Larissa's POV The women Tiffany introduced me to were all variations of well-dressed and well-off.Shauna, who did something with nutrition and also held the title of vice president at the country club where all the women frequented. Evelyn, who used to be a runway model and was now the owner of a luxury makeup and skincare line that sold exclusively in high-end boutiques. Claudine, whose family owned the champagne we would be drinking this afternoon: apparently this batch was infused with gold flakes.And then there was me.Former Patterson Financial staff. Currently unemployed. Currently on trial for murder.I joined them around the glass-topped table set with gold-trimmed plates and tiny food that looked too beautiful to eat. There were crustless sandwiches, flower-shaped pastry, and delicate crêpes stuffed with cream and fruit.These women were even more glamorous and prestigious up close.They were all perfectly styled and composed, like walking paintings.
