Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 105

My heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an indescribable sadness.

That was our wedding ring. On our wedding day, Bryant didn't care much, but Timothy ensured I, his granddaughter-in-law, had the best of everything, like a million-dollar wedding gift, a mansion for a wedding house, and matching rings custom-made by a top-notch jeweler.

Later, a large amount of money went to my aunt as a token of gratitude for raising me. And the mansion never became my sanctuary. The only thing that stayed by my side every day was the ring.

I joyfully wore it on my ring finger when I first got married. After knowing I also worked at Ferguson Group, Bryant immediately advised me to keep a low profile. I took it off that day and wore it around my neck with a thin chain. And there it stayed for three long years.

What once brought me joy seemed like a silent mockery. To Bryant, I was just like this ring, meant to be out of sight.

I laughed at myself. "Just forgot to take it off."

Indeed, I had forgotten. More accurately, I was used to touching the ring when I felt alone or uneasy.

‘Bryant is my husband.’ Once, just liking him seemed to give me so much strength.

Bryant didn't believe me. "Just forgot?

"If you want it, it can be yours again." I reached behind my neck, intending to take it off.

Bit by bit, erasing all traces of him from me. The faster I erase, the quicker I should be able to let go.

Bryant's expression turned cold, and he firmly grasped my wrist, stopping me. "Don't take it off. You belong to it."

"It's a wedding ring, Bryant." I smiled, reminding him and myself, "Even if I don't take it off today, I will in a month."

Bryant's thumb caressed the ring on my finger, his eyes revealing a rare obsession. "What if I never take mine off?"

I took a deep breath. "That's none of my business."
