All these just because they thought I was his mate. This sort of deception was bigger than I could handle. If they'd been hostile towards me, it would have been different.

Liam stopped and turned towards Charlotte to face her. “I am waiting!” “For what?” Charlotte’s lips stretched in a tight smile, her eyes were shooting burning daggers into space. “Just wait and watch!” … Sitting in the attic, Jason was opening different shopping bags given by a junior warrior. “It’s from Gamma Mathew.” Shirts, jeans, dress pants, cuff links, perfumes, and rest of men’s items were of limited edition, quite expensive too. Jason was staring at them wide-eyed. “Why?” The answer to the question was also packed in a gift box. He opened it and gasped at the Gucci watch.

She brought three gifts with her. The sweet aroma of tea filled the private lounge. There was a hint of sorrow on her face, compared to the past. She said, “These are gifts from Anders, Anderson, and I! Also, Dad prepared a gift for you as well! I know you’re disappointed with the family, but you can’t turn down these gifts.” All three of them were expensive. True enough, they were all thoughtful gifts. Archibald’s gift was a jade bracelet. It was made of imperial green jade, too, which made it extremely valuable.

From intricate jewellery pieces to lavish home appliances, the presents seemed to overflow with the good wishes and affection of their loved ones. Gloria helped Vipin and Sonia navigate the sea of presents, maintaining a list of each gift and the name of the person who gave it. She wanted to ensure they could adequately thank each other later on.

"Thank you, sir. It means a lot." Jason placed the bags on the table, revealing an assortment of gifts—tiny designer baby clothes, soft plush blankets, and two delicate gold bracelets engraved with the babies’ names.

"It's okay; they're nothing valuable," Fender replied, looking somewhat embarrassed. He glanced at Jason's gifts and then at his own, which were just ordinary drinks and common fruits, and berated himself for not buying something more expensive. After a bit of back and forth, Fender finally relented and left with his gifts.

With my heart violently hammering my ribs with intense inquisitiveness, I loosened the bow, tore the wrapping paper off, and gasped, on sighting the gifts enclosed within the box.
