Chain Of Gold Chapter Sampler Novels & Stories

The ritual was over, but the chain's warmth still burned against my hip like a brand I couldn't scrape off, and the world had just started watching. Dawn gold bled across the ridge, cold and thin as watered blood. My nose remained clogged with the last of the silver-mercury ash, every breath a jagged scraping of soot against raw tissue. The chain—1.5 meters of quartz and soul—throbbed once: slow, steady, the only thing left of Kael that still answered when I pressed my palm to it.

Nestled against the plush white silk lay a heavy gold necklace, glittering under the gallery lights. ​"To everyone present tonight, I want you to know that this piece is an extraordinary rarity, a collector's dream that only a chosen few will ever possess," Samantha announced, stepping away from Carson's side. She lifted the heavy gold chain from its cushion, gliding over to Carlyn Hemswood and clasping the sparkling treasure around her neck. ​Carlyn Hemswood gasped, her fingers immediately flying to the gold, her face radiant with pride. "I love you, Samantha! Giving you and Carson my blessing for your engagement last year was the best decision I ever made."

The silver dagger was still in my hand. I pressed the blade against the first chain. Nothing happened. I tried again. Still nothing. My mother shook her head. "Your blood." I cut my palm. A drop of blood fell onto the chain. Immediately, it began burning. The metal turned silver. Then it shattered. One chain fell. I cut the second. It broke too. My mother collapsed into my arms. I held her tightly. She smelled like home. Like the mother I had spent my entire life wishing for.

I clear my throat, re-adjusting myself in the crouching position I am in, refusing to admit that he’s right out loud. “Please, just tell me what you want. I want to be alone.” I say firmly, rubbing away a rogue tear slipping down my eyes. “Okay. I’m here to finally cash out on our deal.” I look at him swiftly, half believing it. He really decides to share the long awaited terms of our contract when I felt like shit? “What is it? Please, no more suspense or word play, just give it to me straight.” He chuckles at my desperation. “I need you to get something for me — a little trinket you must have seen before. Golden chain with a bright red gemstone on the pendant, adorning the neck of our comm

He lifted my chin up, then with his pen he pulled out the chain from my neck inside my t shirt. "This," Alexander paused, his voice turning cold and serious. "Who gave this to you?" he asked while looking at me intently. My mind went completely blank at his words as I stared at the chain in confusion. It was a silver chain with a medium triangle shaped green emerald stone attached as a dollar in it. I stared at it in awe. It's really beautiful. Where did I even get it? "answer me," Alexander asked pulling me out of my thoughts. I rubbed both sides of my head up trying to remember something. But no. "Who gave it to you?" he asked again and I shrugged in confusion.

Randomly rummaging through the transparent shop windows, he drew attention to the jewelry store. “I have long wanted to take a chain around my neck,” he suddenly remembered. A pretty saleswoman showed the assortment, constantly smiling with her bleached teeth. Gold was given to him so often, but there was very little silver among the accessories. His choice fell on a thick silver chain with fancy links. At first glance, it was absolutely not clear how the individual links are fastened together. It looked very unusual and beautiful. Conrod left the center and walked towards his house, a silver chain gleaming around his neck.

I looked at the First Mate, then at my own scarred hands, which were now glowing with the light of the very first day. "Let him see her," I said. I took the wooden key from the floor and threw it into the liquid sapphire above, watching as it ignited the path to the next gate with the Un-Auditable Glory of the Re-United. Darlene watched as the First Mate began to ascend, her copper hair a beacon for every lost soul in the Abyss, and as the 102nd chapter closed, the "Debt of the Four Continents" began to feel less like a bill and more like a Covenant.

He smiled sitting up a little but ensuring to keep his eyes locked to mine, at first I did begin to panic that he wanted us to do more spicy things but when he reached up and unclips the solid gold chain he always kept around his neck and slowly lifted my head to place the heavy metal on my neck, I looked at him and the beautiful chain a little confused. It was by far the most detailed but beautiful jewellery I had seen; the chain seemed to be solid gold while the pendent which dangled seemed to be a mixture of gold, bronze and little gems that glistened in the sun. The shape was of a beautiful crown that now lay against my neck where two sets of initials stood.

“That’s so sweet. Do you both mind if I take a look at it?” My eyes fixed themselves on the seller and as his smile faded away, but he recovered quickly, and slid the chain towards me on the table while the old man looked at both of us with a bewildered expression on his face. “Sure. Take it and ask for another if you like it. Pure gold, top quality.”

" Caleb did not want to give up and pulled out a gift box. Inside were more jewels from the Heart of the Ocean collection. They were the kind of fancy jewelry that rich ladies dream of. I used to dream that one day, after working hard, I could have jewels like that too. Then, within the span of just two days, two guys had offered them to me. Caleb got down on one knee with a ring. "Jess, marry me. I'll make it up to you for the rest of my life. "Just give me one more chance."
