Double Dyed Hope Piercing の小説・ストーリー

I looked at him curiously. "Open it and tell me if you like it," he said simply. I untied the bow and opened the small box. Inside were three pairs of earrings and a piercing. One pair was diamond earrings in the shape of a small heart, another identical pair but in ruby, the third pair had a gold heart that descended in an intricate design studded with five diamonds, finished with a ruby heart outlined with tiny diamonds. And the piercing was a gold hoop with small rubies encrusted. Exactly one earring for each piercing I had in my ear, and the set was beautiful.

Hope had agreed eventually, but only after securing a promise that her dress would have glitter "just like the ice." Noah liked to think of it as 'Sterling silver'. And later that afternoon, under a canopy of orchids and a sky so blue it looked painted, Noah was going to marry that perfect man. That is, assuming they could sort out one minor crisis first. Hope was in tears because her “lucky seashell”, a chipped pink-and-white spiral she found on their first beach walk, had gone missing. She had declared it essential to the ceremony and currently refused to walk down the aisle without it.

She clearly had it much worse than me today. We can't continue like this. I have to mark her, even if her dad disagrees. I hope Tempest can convince him to allow it. Otherwise, I could have a fight on my hands that I don't want. I need her dad as an ally, not an enemy. His approval and respect are important to me. But I can’t let Hope suffer like this. Maybe her wolf will calm down in a couple days. Or she could get worse. I have no idea. Our people mark their mate immediately. This is unusual to say the least. I have heard that Hope’s Father agonized before marking Tempest, but they completed the bonding sooner than me and Hope.

“No. One for my daughter and the other one for someone... important.” Claudia didn’t ask questions and that’s what I liked about her. She showed me a few options but the moment I saw that one… a sleek, silver chain with a small, teardrop diamond nestled on it. I knew that was Daisy’s. It wasn’t loud or showy and would look so nice on her. The second one for Hope was just as beautiful, slightly bolder though, with a few tiny pink stones lining the edges. And it was still expensive enough that she’d know I thought of her.

He was actually a little disappointed that he did not get to have Thaddious and Jacob in his dungeon. I had a couple of surprises for my little mate today. When Pearl had brought Cayden to see us, she also brought Hope's jewelry. I was nervous when I handed her the black velvet box. I hoped she liked it. If not, I was out about 30 grand. She was sitting on my lap as usual as she eased oped the hinged lid. Pearl had done an excellent job on the design. The tear drop-shaped diamonds and peridots sparkled brilliantly against the white gold. Hope's eyes filled with tears as her fingers traced along the delicate stones in the necklace. I hadn't meant to make her cry.

I had no one to kiss or do anything else with. But then I reached the last line: No acidic or alcoholic beverages until your piercing heals. Great. So on the one night I actually needed to get drunk, I’d managed to screw myself out of it. Back at my apartment, I shed my clothes and got to work dyeing the tips of my hair bright red—my personal trademark for “emotional hurricane incoming.” I thought I had the rest of my night mapped out. But life clearly had other plans. ⸻ CHRISTIAN

Now she understood why her brother wore a blue suit, it was to match the dress Cynthia would be wearing and the interior of the hall. Cynthia wore a luscious lavender off-shoulder maxi dress made of fine poly cotton which brushed down all the way to the floor. The top part filled her curves perfectly, the flowy button had split from her left arm making her more alluring. She paired her blue gown with diamond like pencil hills and her earring dangled with the sparkling diamond. Meanwhile, Niel wore a deep blue Asian suit made of hard cotton wool. He matched it with a golden watch yet with the hands of the watch clock coloured silver. He wore blue designed executive shoes matching it with a g

On Brielle’s left hand is the stunning engagement ring that Hope loaned to us. “From what I hear that place is ritzy, and you can’t go there and pretend to be engaged without some sort of fabulous ring,” Hope pointed out before she slid her own rings off and handed over her two-carat solitaire. “So here you go. Just take care of it. Jason will have my ass if something happens to that thing.” I immediately made a mental note to ask Hope later about the ring size when I noticed it fit perfectly on Brielle’s finger. Brielle

, Harold who was remarkably quiet during the previous biddings, has finally spoken. “Who? Where is he?” "It seems he knows you, Natalie. He has been staring at us this whole time. I might as well think that he’s been throwing daggers at me.” I looked at the man that Harold had mentioned. He does seem familiar… “And now, behold!” “The last item for tonight. One of the world’s eleven most famous necklaces, expertly crafted by the famous jewelsmith James Curren, the “Red Scarlet”!” It’s finally here. I better place my bid well-

I answered the phone call. "K-kuya.." Nalukot ang noo ko ng marinig siyang umiiyak. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" "Tita Gizel is gone. H-hope's mother is dead Kuya and Gideon's accusing Hope for stealing the Mañejas heirloom necklace." I stop and put the phone on the other side of my ear. "What?! Anong nangyari? Where's Hope?" I loosen my tie and get my luggage inside the closet, ready to go back in the Philippines.
