Return of the Broken Heiress
The disgust must be evident on my face, because I can feel the heat of it spreading through me, steaming beneath my skin like a slow-burning fire.
Then, my eyes shift
And I see it.
The glass tower.
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.
“Happy anniversary, my darling and cheers.”
Roy says, He lifts his glass high, a warm smile on his face.
The crowd echoes towards him, raising their glasses in unison.
I make my move.
Reaching down, I pluck a single glass from the base of the towering pyramid.
