Bullied and Dumped, But She Won in the End (Adriana) novel Chapter 106

**When Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen by Kael Niro Senn 106**

“Without a doubt, he’s into Cynthia. He was absolutely smitten with her back in the day. There’s no way Curtis would ever fall for someone like Adriana,” Danielle thought, her mind racing with disbelief.

The very notion that Curtis could harbor feelings for Adriana was something Danielle simply couldn’t bring herself to accept. Adriana, after all, was an orphan. What could possibly attract someone like Curtis, who came from a well-off family, to someone with such a troubled background?

Matthew’s expression darkened, the corners of his mouth tightening as he lowered his voice, almost conspiratorially. “Then you need to find a way to bring Cynthia back, and do it quickly.” The urgency in his tone made Danielle’s stomach twist.

If Nicole wasn’t working out, they could always bring Cynthia back into the picture. After all, first love held a special place in the heart, didn’t it?

“Mr. Langford, why are you so determined to break up Adriana and Curtis? What’s your endgame here? Don’t tell me you’re actually considering canceling Natasha’s engagement?” Danielle’s voice was edged with caution, her curiosity battling with her apprehension.

“That’s none of your concern. Just focus on your own issues,” Matthew replied curtly, his tone dismissive as he abruptly ended the call, leaving Danielle staring at her phone in disbelief.

…

High-End Custom Jewelry Studio.

Natasha had made it her mission to choose her wedding ring ahead of time. While shopping with her friends, she decided to stop by the most renowned designer boutique in Haldoria, a place that was the epitome of luxury and style.

The designer was a big name in the industry, with accolades that seemed endless. It was common knowledge that he never made house calls for his creations. If Natasha wanted something custom-made, she would have to come in person to discuss her ideas.

“Hello, miss! What type of ring are you looking for today?” the saleswoman greeted her with a bright smile, her voice warm and inviting.

“An engagement ring,” Natasha replied, her tone cool and collected, masking the excitement bubbling beneath the surface.

The saleswoman hesitated for a brief moment, taken aback by the prospect of a woman walking in to order her engagement ring.

Without further ado, she guided Natasha to the display cases. “Feel free to browse through our collection and let me know if anything catches your eye. If nothing suits your taste, we can arrange for the designer to create something unique just for you.”

Natasha didn’t even spare a glance at the samples. “I want a custom piece. Something truly one-of-a-kind,” she stated firmly, her determination clear.

The saleswoman beamed with understanding. “Absolutely! Please provide your partner’s details so we can take note of it.”

“His name is Matthew Langford,” Natasha replied nonchalantly, a hint of pride in her voice.

Her friends exchanged glances, their eyes shimmering with envy. “This place isn’t exactly affordable. But for Matthew, it’s probably nothing,” one of them remarked, a trace of admiration in her tone.

“Excuse me…” The saleswoman’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Your partner has already placed an order here. Perhaps he wanted it to be a surprise. If you could just be a little patient, that would be great.”

Natasha froze, her cheeks flushing with warmth. So, Matthew had secretly ordered something, despite his claims of being too busy?
