\n**Chapter 119: Broken Rings and Schemes**<\/p>\n
Adriana felt the rhythmic thumping of her heart echoing in her chest, a sound that seemed to resonate with Curtis\u2019s heartbeat nearby. It was as if their emotions were intertwined, the very air around them charged with an unspoken connection.<\/p>\n
In a moment of clarity, she realized that she was undeniably falling for him. The realization washed over her like a tidal wave, both exhilarating and terrifying.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
At Matthew\u2019s apartment, the atmosphere was thick with frustration. He had returned home, a storm brewing inside him after an unsuccessful search for Adriana.<\/p>\n
The living room was dimly lit, casting shadows that danced across the cluttered space. Natasha sat on the couch, her stillness betraying the turmoil within.<\/p>\n
Matthew flicked the light switch on, and the sudden brightness made him recoil. The sight before him was chaotic, a stark contrast to his usual orderly surroundings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell happened here?\u201d he exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief as he took in the disarray.<\/p>\n
Natasha looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, a stark reminder of her emotional state. \u201cThis ring\u2014did you give it to Adriana?\u201d she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and hurt.<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s brow furrowed as he approached the table, his gaze landing on the empty ring box that lay there. A sense of dread washed over him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s the ring?\u201d he asked, his tone sharp, cutting through the tension like a knife.<\/p>\n
He had never spoken to Natasha with such intensity before, and her fury was palpable.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew!\u201d she shouted, her voice rising as she lost her composure. \u201cI am your fianc\u00e9e! We are on the brink of marriage! What are you doing? You claimed to have waited for me for four long years. Is this how you chose to wait?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNatasha, don\u2019t push me!\u201d he snapped back, his anger boiling over. \u201cSure, I had people around me these past four years, but I never married. And what about you? You dashed off to Moweland and tied the knot. Did I ever throw that in your face?\u201d<\/p>\n
His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken resentment.<\/p>\n
Natasha stared at him, her breath hitching as disbelief washed over her features.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re doing all this for Adriana? For some worthless woman?\u201d Her voice trembled with rage, each word dripping with venom.<\/p>\n
A dark hatred twisted within her; she loathed Adriana for having captured Matthew\u2019s heart all those years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t about Adriana,\u201d Matthew replied, his voice cold and distant. \u201cI failed her.\u201d He snatched the ring box again, his desperation driving him to search the room frantically.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is the ring?\u201d His voice grew darker, a storm brewing beneath the surface.<\/p>\n
\u201cI threw it in the trash outside,\u201d Natasha responded, a sneer curling her lips.<\/p>\n
Matthew\u2019s expression hardened, the anger radiating from him palpable. He turned sharply and stormed out, determination fueling his every step.<\/p>\n
\u2014<\/p>\n
That ring was no ordinary piece of jewelry; it was a unique engagement ring, custom-designed by a jeweler, with Adriana\u2019s name delicately engraved on the inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cMatthew!\u201d Natasha shouted after him, her voice tinged with disbelief as she watched him dig through a trash bin, a sight she never thought she\u2019d witness from the man who once prided himself on his pristine surroundings.<\/p>\n
A wave of panic washed over her, igniting a fire of urgency within.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t afford to let time slip away any longer.<\/p>\n
Drawing in a deep breath, she steeled herself, focusing on her next move.<\/p>\n
She had to secure their marriage\u2014immediately.<\/p>\n
With determination, she grabbed her phone and dialed Matthew\u2019s mother, Elise Warren. \u201cMrs. Langford, I heard that Mr. Raymond has brought that illegitimate son into the company. If Matthew doesn\u2019t marry me soon, he might lose the shares Mr. Gordon left him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elise\u2019s voice crackled with fury and concern. \u201cExactly! Why haven\u2019t you two made it official yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Langford, something\u2019s happened around Matthew,\u201d Natasha said softly, her tone laced with feigned innocence. \u201cDo you remember that woman who got Mia sent to jail? The one named Adriana Xander?\u201d Her eyes darkened with malice, ready to let someone else take the fall.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat orphan? I haven\u2019t even dealt with her yet,\u201d Elise snapped, her voice sharp. \u201cMia can\u2019t stay in jail. Matthew said he\u2019d handle it, but nothing\u2019s happened. What\u2019s he waiting for?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mia had been pampered her entire life; a few days in a detention center must have felt like an eternity for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana\u2019s been lurking around Matthew,\u201d Natasha continued, her voice trembling as if she were genuinely hurt. \u201cNot only did she get Mia locked up, but she\u2019s still clinging to him. She won\u2019t let him marry me.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other end, Elise erupted. \u201cThat little tramp thinks she can marry into our family? She must have a death wish!\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, the line went dead.<\/p>\n
Natasha wiped her tears away, a cold laugh escaping her lips.<\/p>\n
Letting Elise handle Adriana was far more advantageous than getting her own hands dirty.<\/p>\n
Her phone buzzed, jolting her from her thoughts. It was her father, Alex Jones.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet home now! Have you seen what\u2019s online? The Jones Group\u2019s reputation is plummeting because of you! Several partners have already pulled out!\u201d he shouted, his voice a thunderous storm of anger.<\/p>\n
Natasha felt her heart drop. \u201cDad, I\u2019ll come home right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t marry Matthew soon, you\u2019re out of the Jones family,\u201d he snapped before the call ended abruptly.<\/p>\n
She clenched her jaw, anger flaring within her. That was just like him\u2014using her when it suited him, then discarding her without a second thought.<\/p>\n
Taking a deep breath, she forced her voice to remain steady. \u201cI understand, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
She needed to eliminate Adriana, and fast.<\/p>\n
With a determined flick of her fingers, she sent a message to Danielle: \u201cHandle Adriana and Curtis\u2019s marriage as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
As long as Curtis remained tied to Adriana, making a move against her would be a challenge.<\/p>\n
Curtis was currently away on another business trip, swamped with responsibilities, managing nearly everything on his own.<\/p>\n
This situation actually eased Adriana\u2019s mind. As Curtis had once said, it wasn\u2019t him who needed the Lincoln Group\u2014it was the Lincoln Group that needed him. Harold\u2019s threats to kick him out were nothing more than empty words.<\/p>\n
Danielle had returned to Harborton for a while and wouldn\u2019t be back soon. With him gone, even Nicole didn\u2019t dare to stir up trouble.<\/p>\n
As the chapter draws to a close, the emotional tapestry woven throughout the tumultuous events begins to unravel, revealing the stark reality of Adriana, Matthew, and Natasha\u2019s intertwined fates. Adriana\u2019s heart races with the thrill of newfound love for Curtis, yet she is acutely aware of the shadows cast by Matthew\u2019s unresolved feelings and Natasha\u2019s escalating desperation.

Meanwhile, Natasha\u2019s cold determination reveals the depths of her desperation as she grapples with the precariousness of her position. Her willingness to resort to deceit and manipulation underscores her fear of losing Matthew, while simultaneously highlighting the lengths she is prepared to go to secure her future.

Ultimately, this chapter encapsulates the struggle between the heart\u2019s desires and the harsh realities of ambition, leaving readers to ponder the consequences of choices made in the name of love, loyalty, and power.<\/p>\n
