Chapter 83

• Ava’s POV
• “This is nobody's fault," Fabio snarled, "I just wanted to make that clear, so no one would blame my wife for your reckless doing, Diego. If I'd known it came from your mother—a family heirloom meant for your future wife, no less—I would have stopped you from giving it to her. Why would you give such an important thing to my wife? Do you like her?!"
• The van felt suffocating, the air thick with the unspoken tension between Diego and Fabio. It was as if the walls were closing in, making every breath a struggle.
