Return it to me now , or I swear you'll regret it ! " " If you don't believe me , check the back - it's engraved with ' MC . ' Those are the initials for Morgan and Cross . " Margaret's face twisted with shock . Her son , who had always sworn he loved his wife more than life itself , had a second family all along . He had deceived them all . Not even bothering to wipe the blood from her lip , she stated firmly , " I can testify - that locket really does belong to her . " The staff exchanged uneasy looks . " She sounds so certain ... could it really be hers ? " But Sabrina Lowe burst out laughing, her voice sharp with mockery . " You shameless bitch ! Everyone knows my husband put that necklace on our son the day he was born . You think anyone's going to believe you ? " " You probably slept with some paparazzo to get this information ! Just another gold - digger's trick . I see through women like you ! " The staff's hesitation vanished . They shoved me to my knees with fury . " Whore ! Almost tricked us ! " Sabrina yanked the locket from the boy's neck and strode up to me . She pinched my chin hard , tilting my face up . " Didn't you want this so badly ? Beg me . " It was the only thing my mother had left me . I couldn't lose it . My teeth sank into my pale lip as I forced out the words . " Please ... give it back . " She clapped her hands , satisfied , clicking her tongue . " Pathetic . Can't get money , can't seduce a man , and now you're trying to steal my son's necklace ? " " What's next ? You gonna claim Nathaniel is your husband too ? You've got quite the imagination . Why stop there ? Go rob a bank ! " Chapter 2 20.00 % 1 straightened my back , raising my voice so everyone could hear . " I am Nathaniel's legal wife ! Let go of me right now ! " I hadn't even finished when her palm cracked across my face , vicious and stinging . " Bitch ! You dare say that in front of me and still try to take my husband ? " She barked an order , and someone rushed over with a blowtorch . Right before my eyes , she pressed the flame to the locket until it melted into a warped lump of gold , her eyes glittering with cruel delight . " It's just a cheap locket ! My husband will buy me a dozen better ones if I ask ! " " Stop ! " Margaret lunged forward to knock the torch away , but Sabrina's kick landed in her stomach , sending her crumpling to the floor with a choked gasp of agony . I tore free from the staff restraining me and scrambled to her side . " Mom , are you okay ? " Sabrina feigned surprise , her voice dripping venom . " Oh ? Mother and daughter ? That explains it . The old slut raised a young slut . " " Who knows what kind of diseases you two are carrying ? If you infect our guests , who's going to take responsibility ? " She raised her voice deliberately , hurling her words into the restaurant . The moment she said " disease , " the crowd erupted in alarm . " Disgusting ! She's just a common whore , used by thousands of men ! " " People with filthy diseases should just die and save us decent folks the contamination ! " " Quick , film this ! Go live ! Expose her so the whole internet knows what trash she is ! " My gaze swept coldly over them , my voice cutting clear and sharp . " All I did was defend my rightful property , and for that I've been humiliated . If one day you fall into the same situation , I hope you won't regret what you've done today .

" " They slap a ' luxury ' label on it and you all swallow it whole , never realizing it's frozen garbage . Blind , gullible fools ! " The tearoom fell silent at my words . Sabrina's face twisted with rage . She grabbed a porcelain bowl from the table and hurled it at us . It shattered with a crash , shards scattering across the floor . " Still running your mouths ? What , you think I , Sabrina , am scared of two penniless nobodies like you ? " Chapter 2
