Public Betrayal: I Gifted Her Our Token of Love
Everyone has gathered around to play games together. The current game requires all players to transfer red wine to each other via our mouths.
Before my fiance, Teodoro Lamperti, is able to transfer the wine to me, his female best friend, Cristina Ghedini, shoves me away before kissing him on the mouth right away.
"What are you doing? Today is Serafina's big day, you know!"
Teodoro might be complaining on the outside, yet he's patting Cristina gently on the back.
The atmosphere in the villa becomes eerily silent. Everyone stares at me as I sit on the floor in a wretched manner.
Cristina merely smiles nonchalantly. Then, she leans against Teodoro's shoulder.
"Don't be so petty, Serafina. Teodor and I are as thick as thieves since we were kids. We're used to sharing everything together."
Teodoro begins advising me as well. "It's just a game, Serafina. You've always been gracious, haven't you? Don't act like a sore loser."
Everyone thinks that I'll explode into rage and flip the table of food over, like I had done in the past.
But this time, I just draw to my feet and take off the engagement ring. Then, I slide it onto Cristina's finger.
"This ring is yours now. Congratulations on your marriage. Remember to invite me to your wedding."
