Revenge Wears My Ring novel Chapter 231

Gwyneth didn’t slow her pace, but her heartbeat kicked up half a beat, sharp and insistent.

She gripped the strap of her purse a little tighter, eyes darting—casually, she hoped—over the gaps between the cars and into the pockets of shadow.

No one.

Just rows of cold, silent cars and the looming, concrete support columns.

Was she imagining things?

Had last night’s confrontation with Julian rattled her so badly that she was now jumping at shadows?

She drew a steadying breath and quickened her steps, determined to shake off the uneasy feeling dogging her heels.

But the closer she got to the elevator, the worse it became—that prickling sense of being watched, growing more intense, more invasive by the second.

Not her imagination.

A chill clarity swept through her—she was being hunted.

Somebody was getting reckless.

That thought had barely formed when everything changed.

“Gwyneth!”

Desiree’s voice cracked with a manic, high-pitched edge.

“Do you have any idea how much you’ve ruined my life?!”

She stepped closer, eyes wild.
