**Chapter 112: She Can\u2019t Stay**<\/p>\n
Natasha\u2019s fingers trembled as she retrieved the ring from its velvet-lined box, her heart racing with anticipation. She attempted to slide it onto her left ring finger, but her excitement quickly morphed into disappointment. The ring was far too snug\u2014it simply wouldn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n
A wave of realization crashed over her. This ring was not intended for her.<\/p>\n
That thought shattered something deep within her, igniting a tempest of fury. In a fit of rage, she hurled the ring and its box across the room, watching as they clattered to the floor. She began to wreak havoc, smashing anything within reach\u2014vases, picture frames, and anything that could bear the brunt of her anguish.<\/p>\n
Panic clawed at her insides like a wild animal. Was that ring meant for Adriana?<\/p>\n
The very thought sent chills down her spine. Was Matthew truly planning to marry her?<\/p>\n
No way. He had to be out of his mind.<\/p>\n
Her heart raced, and she grabbed her phone, dialing Danielle\u2019s number with shaky hands. \u201cWhy was Curtis at the graduation? Didn\u2019t Cynthia already come back?\u201d she demanded, her voice laced with urgency.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really think first love means forever? You were Matthew\u2019s first love too. Look at him now\u2014he\u2019s all about Adriana,\u201d Danielle teased, her tone light yet biting.<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d Natasha exploded, her frustration boiling over.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis didn\u2019t go himself,\u201d Danielle replied, her voice calm, almost dismissive. \u201cHe sent his driver and a caregiver to pick Cynthia up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Natasha\u2019s anxiety spiraled further. What was it about Adriana that captivated both Matthew and Curtis so completely?<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana can\u2019t stay\u2026 She can\u2019t\u2026\u201d Natasha murmured, her throat raw from the weight of her emotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis is losing it right now. He\u2019s targeting my dad\u2019s company, and I can\u2019t go back to Haldoria. You\u2019re on your own,\u201d Danielle said bluntly, clearly fed up with Natasha\u2019s melodrama.<\/p>\n
With a surge of frustration, Natasha ended the call and kicked the coffee table with all her might.<\/p>\n
There was no way she would allow herself to be overshadowed by some orphan. Not a chance!<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
At Curtis\u2019 house, the atmosphere was thick with unspoken tension. Curtis gently set Adriana down on the couch, glancing at the clock as if it held the answers to his unasked questions. \u201cGet some rest. I have things to take care of,\u201d he instructed, his voice soft but firm.<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded, though an uneasy feeling twisted in her chest like a coiled spring.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s probably going to see Cynthia.<\/p>\n
She returned to the couch, her gaze fixated on the ring adorning her finger. She stared at it for what felt like an eternity, lost in thought.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
She had never imagined she would wear a wedding ring, have a place to call home, or feel a sense of belonging anywhere.<\/p>\n
Even if it wasn\u2019t real, it felt like a dream\u2014a beautiful fantasy she never wanted to awaken from. It was everything she had longed for her entire life, a sensation akin to finding a winning lottery ticket after living in poverty.<\/p>\n
Buzz. Her phone vibrated, breaking her reverie.<\/p>\n
An unknown number flashed on the screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d she answered, curiosity piqued.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s me.\u201d The voice on the other end was unmistakably Matthew\u2019s, albeit through his driver\u2019s phone.<\/p>\n
He sounded irritated, clearly frustrated that she had blocked all his other numbers.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Langford, what do you want?\u201d Adriana replied, maintaining a steady tone, though her heart raced.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m outside. Come out,\u201d he commanded, his impatience palpable.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart sank, her stomach tightening with anxiety. She glanced out the window, and there it was\u2014his car, parked ominously close.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m going to bed. What do you need?\u201d she stammered, desperate to end the conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can see you. Come out. I just want to talk,\u201d Matthew insisted, his voice low and authoritative, yet strained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing left to talk about. Goodbye.\u201d She hung up, her heart pounding.<\/p>\n
Fuming, Matthew fired off a message. \u201cCynthia is back in Haldoria. She\u2019s fine now and can walk again. Curtis told her that once she\u2019s fully recovered, he\u2019ll divorce you. Want to come see for yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana read the text in silence, her heart sinking further. She chose to ignore it, pushing aside the turmoil it stirred within her.<\/p>\n
Matthew hadn\u2019t anticipated her stubbornness.<\/p>\n
Cursing under his breath, he continued to call, but each ring met with silence\u2014she had blocked him again.<\/p>\n
His eyes narrowed in anger. Adriana was really testing his limits.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana! Get out of here!\u201d Matthew finally shouted, his voice echoing through the quiet street, the raw desperation evident.<\/p>\n
Was he drunk or just losing his mind?<\/p>\n
Why was he yelling like that outside someone else\u2019s home?<\/p>\n
Grinding her teeth in frustration, she opened the door and stepped into the cool night air. \u201cMr. Langford, please lower your voice,\u201d she said, trying to keep her composure.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome out,\u201d Matthew demanded, struggling to rein in his temper.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Adriana replied defiantly, refusing to budge an inch.<\/p>\n
Realizing he couldn\u2019t reach her, Matthew snapped, \u201cAdriana, Curtis is just using you. You\u2019re a pawn to him, and this will only hurt you in the end. Don\u2019t deceive yourself into thinking he\u2019s doing you any favors\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just a favor,\u201d Adriana interjected, raising her hand to display the ring. \u201cEverything you refused to give me\u2014he did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s expression twisted in disbelief. \u201cHe only gave you that ring so you could flaunt it! The Lincolns and Bartons have a long, complicated history. Mr. Harold would never allow Curtis to break that engagement. He\u2019s just doing all this to end up with Cynthia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana remained silent, knowing deep down that she didn\u2019t need to respond. She was already aware of the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, come back with me,\u201d Matthew pleaded, his voice cracking with frustration. \u201cI\u2019m the only one who truly cares about you. Everyone else is just using you.\u201d<\/p>\n
