âMina, donât push it!â Vincent snapped, his anger barely contained. âYes, Iâve had people around me these past four years, but I never got married.
And what about you? You ran off to Vesperia and married someone else. Did I ever say anything about it?â
Heâd never dared say these things before, worried heâd upset Mina. But today, it all came spilling out.
Minaâs breath came in ragged gasps as she stared at Vincent, furious and incredulous.
âAll for that Alicia? That worthless tramp...â Mina trembled with rage.
Her hatred for Alicia burned hotter than ever. For four years, Alicia had stolen Vincentâs heart away from her.
âMina, this has nothing to do with Alicia. If anything, itâs me whoâs wronged her.â Vincent picked up the ring box and started searching frantically for the ring.
âWhereâs the ring?â he demanded, his temper flaring.
âI threw it in the trash outside,â Mina replied coldly, a bitter smile twisting her lips.
Vincent scowled, spun on his heel, and strode out.
That ring was a one-of-a-kind engagement ringâheâd commissioned a designer to craft it especially for Alicia, her name engraved on the inside of the band.
âVincent!â Mina shrieked after him, her voice cracking.
She hadnât expected Vincent, whoâd had a phobia of dirt since childhood, to go digging through garbage like a madman.
In that moment, for the first time, Mina was truly afraid.
She couldnât stall any longer. She really couldnât.
Forcing herself to calm down, Mina drew a deep breath.
She had to act fastâshe needed to make Vincent marry her, and soon.
She grabbed her phone and dialed Vincentâs mother. âMrs. Lawson... I heard Mr. Lawsonâs letting that illegitimate son into the company now. If Vincent doesnât marry me soon, Iâm afraid heâll lose the shares his grandfather left for him.â
Vincentâs mother sounded both furious and anxious. âExactly! Why havenât you two registered your marriage yet?â
âMrs. Lawson, somethingâs come up on Vincentâs end. Do you remember that woman who sent Mira to jail? Alicia?â Minaâs eyes grew cold. She was ready to let someone else do her dirty work.
âThat Alicia? The orphan girl! I havenât even gone after her yet. Mira canât stay in prisonâVincent promised heâd take care of it, so why is nothing happening?â Vincentâs mother was nearly in tears from frustration.
Mira had been spoiled rotten by the family. Days in jail must have been sheer torture for her.
âShe... sheâs tangled up with Vincent. She got Mira locked up, and now she wonât leave Vincent alone. Sheâs stopping him from marrying me...â Mina sniffled, her voice trembling with just the right amount of vulnerability.
On the other end, Mrs. Lawson erupted in rage. âThat little tramp thinks she can worm her way into the Lawson family? Over my dead body!â
The call ended abruptly.
Mina wiped away her fake tears and let out a cold, bitter laugh.
Letting Vincentâs mother deal with Alicia was much better than getting her own hands dirty.
Buzz. Minaâs phone vibratedâit was her father.
âGet back here, now! Have you seen what people are saying online? Lawson Holdings is taking a hit because of you! Several major partners just pulled out of negotiations!â her father fumed.
Minaâs face went pale. âDad... Iâll come home right away.â
âIf you donât marry Vincent soon, donât bother coming back to the Holloway family!â he barked.
Mina clenched her teeth in anger. This was her father through and throughâusing her time and again, and once he was done, tossing her aside like trash.
She swallowed her frustration. âI understand, Dad...â
She had to get rid of Alicia. Fast.
She sent a quick message to Jade: âHandle Alicia Tyroneâs marriage as soon as possible.â
