Chapter 17

~Kamari~

Cassian Arkenstone was my ex-fiance's name. I didn't care to know anything about him back then. I didn't think he had a brother who was staring me right in the face.

He smiles, "What luck." But I sense a bittersweetness to it. "I'm sorry to ask, but I need that ring back. It's part of our family."

"I wish I could give it back, but It got lost…" I lied. I got rid of it long ago.

Javall double-blinks, then scoffs, "You lost your murdered fiance's ring?" The suspicion in his eyes gets my blood rushing. My guard is up.

"It's been a very long time, Javall." I slightly back up.

Javall searches my eyes, "You didn't care to take care of it?"
