  &quot;Beautiful,&quot; he said. Showing it to Mitchell who suddenly appeared not to be interested in what was going on.
  &quot;Anything the matter,&quot; He asked barely above a whisper.
  &quot;I think this is too expensive,&quot; she said inaudibly but loud enough for Michael to hear. 
  &quot;Who buys such an expensive ring for a sham of a union?&quot; She wondered and though she wasn t concerned with the cost, she was concerned with how real buying such a ring will make their sham of a marriage look. 
  &quot;For me? Or for you? He queried, surprised she was even thinking about the cost. None of his mistresses would have bothered about that. Not that he d care. He has the money.

  &quot;Because this is something you will be wearing for a very long time,&quot; He tried to explain
  &quot;How long? She asked. No. Don t tell me,&quot; She quickly added. For as long as it takes either one of us to realize this is madness, right?&quot; She spurted out angrily.
  Michael cast a glance towards her. &quot;I still think you...,&quot;
