“This was my grandmother’s ring.” His eyes lock with mine. “Even though this is an arranged marriage, I want you to be happy, Tiana.” My lips part, and in absolute surprise, I watch as he pushes a vintage ring onto my finger. The diamond is huge and set in gold that’s been shaped into a rose. “Thank you,” I breathe. My eyes dart to his. “For everything. I won’t disappoint you.” I can’t read the expression on his face. It almost looks like he’s in two minds about something.
