He Kicked Me Into the Deep for Another Woman's Smile

My fiancé handcrafted a diamond ring to propose underwater, on a deep-sea dive.

The moment we submerged, he shut off my air tank and kicked me toward the trench.

The water closed over me and every nerve remembered—the river, the ice, the drowning I'd survived to save him years ago. My whole body locked.

I thrashed in blind panic, clawing toward the surface:

"Gregory… help me, I'm cramping—"

He never looked back. He swam toward the yacht and placed the velvet ring box into the hands of the woman on deck.

"Mr. Delgado, I can't believe you actually got her back for me."
