CHAPTER Thirteen (A New Hope)

  "You?" Ximena called in shock, eyes bulging wide open.

  She couldn't even wrap her head so fast around it as she was badly confused. First, how did he find her? And secondly, why the hell was he there?

  Nir, ordering the manager to go on his knees, moved closer to Ximena afterwards.

  "Where is my ring?" He asked in a low growl, making sure his eyes were pinned directly on hers.

  Ximena tried as much as possible to act confused. "Y....Your ring?" Her forehead was beginning to break a sweat.

  "What're you talking about?"She chuckled nervously.

  Unexpectedly, Nir gripped her by the collars and dragged her roughly to himself; Ximena let out a wince, being taken abacked by the rough pull.

  "I'm already hating myself for having to come down here, young lady"He gritted. "And I'd want nothing more than to see myself leaving. Now, for the last time, WHERE IS MY RING?" He spelt out the last words.
