Return of the Broken Heiress
“To my lovely wife, Esther, who has stood by my side for four incredible years. Four years of love, of joy, of unwavering support. I could not ask for more.”
Esther beams, her eyes shining as she loops her arm through his, pressing closer to him. They look perfect together. The perfect couple.
A sharp, bitter laugh builds in my chest, but I swallow it down.
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.
