Return of the Broken Heiress
A pyramid of delicate champagne glasses, stacked one on top of the other, twinkling under the golden lights.
My fingers tighten around my red bag as I take a slow, intentional step forward.
I already know my next move.
“Happy anniversary, my darling. And cheers.”
Roy’s voice carries through the air, dripping with the kind of arrogance that used to make my skin crawl. He lifts his glass high, a warm smile on his face.
The crowd echoes him, raising their glasses in unison.
I make my move.
Reaching down, I pluck a single glass from the base of the towering pyramid.
