The Inherited Bride (2011)
“Adham’s deep voice was full of censure.
Isabella looked away from the scenery, flying by in a red blur out the window of the Hummer, and down at her bare hand. “What does it matter?”
“It matters a great deal. You are my fiancée. It is expected for you to wear my ring.”
She took a deep breath, pain lancing her. “But it isn’t your ring. It’s Hassan’s. And it isn’t my ring. There’s nothing about it that has any personal meaning or value to me.”
“You’re being petulant.”
“Maybe.” She wasn’t, though. He was just being too obtuse to see it. Because the engagement meant nothing to him. It meant nothing to him that her ring had been a part of an entirely different engagement, that it had been given to her by a delivery man.
It mattered to her, though. It would matter to any woman. It wasn’t as though Adham hadn’t had relationships before. He should know enough about women to figure that out. Or maybe his affairs had been so detached that he really didn’t have a clue what something like a ring ...could really mean to a woman.MoreLess
