Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 625
The necklace was a one-of-a-kind piece, the only thoughtful gift Aubree had
ever received from him. Usually, it was just cash, with instructions to go out and
buy whatever she fancied.
Hidden within the intricate design of the necklace were their names, subtly
engraved. He couldn't quite explain why he'd done it at the time; he just thought it
might bring a smile to Aubree’s face.
But now, Aubree had returned the gift, and in such an impersonal manner, via a
delivery guy, no less.
It wasn't just about the necklace’s worth, which was in the millions. The fact that
Aubree had entrusted such a valuable item to a complete stranger, not to
mention the insultingly cheap. delivery fee, seemed to mock the sentiment with
which he'd given it.
Andrew stared at the text message for a long time, wondering how long it would
take for Aubree to cool off this time.
Even at her angriest, she had never spoken of ending things with him. And this
time, he was at a loss to understand what had set her off.
Fuming, Andrew tossed the necklace onto the passenger seat just as Tessa
walked in. She opened the car door and immediately spotted the necklace, a
flicker of delight crossing her face.
“Andrew, is this for me?” she asked, her voice sugary with hope.
Deep down, she knew it belonged to Aubree. She'd seen it around Aubree’s neck
before, and Aubree was wearing it when those thugs had raped her.
Tessa's smile never wavered as she picked up the necklace. “It's gorgeous, and
it must have cost a pretty penny. I'll treasure it. Thank you, Andrew.”
She leaned in and pecked his cheek, making him stiffen involuntarily. His instinct
was to say it wasn't meant for her but was Aubree’s, but he saw Tessa’s joy and
hesitated. Besides, Tessa had already sniffed out his affair with Aubree, and
bursting her bubble now would only make things awkward.
It was just a necklace, after all. If Tessa wanted it, she could have it. He'd simply
buy another for Aubree. The names were engraved so discreetly that Tessa
would never notice.
His response was noncommittal, his hands resting casually on the steering
wheel. “If you like it, wear it,” he said flatly.
Victory shone in Tessa’s eyes. For her, it was a trophy, a reminder of Aubree’s
defeat and how she had been broken in body and spirit.
“I love it. Let's hit the road. We've got to get to the venue. They're about to set
the wedding date, Andrew. I'm so happy. This is what I've dreamed of for years.”
