Six months after our divorce, Darren announced his engagement. He called me, demanding I return the Huber family's heirloom necklace, but I didn't answer. Then he texted: [Eliana, don't think you can just vanish. Give that necklace back to Willow.] Darren: [We were once married. Don't make me take you to court.] Darren: [Don't forget, you owe Willow big time. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have suffered like this.] Still, I didn't reply. Later, a court summons showed up at my apartment. In the livestream of the engagement party, people were roasting me online, calling me shameless for clinging to the Huber family's heirloom even after six months of being divorced. They called me a thief. Then, my landlord barged into the engagement party and threw the summons right back at Darren. "She's dead! Who are you even suing?" I saw real panic in his eyes for the first time.
