Simon answered. "That's what I thought so let's find out," Erik said, pulling out three more pearl stones. One was blue and the others were black and white. He handed Peter the blue pearl stone. "Okay now Simon I want you to hand over your pearl stone to Peter and close your eyes till this demonstration is over. You'll guess five times which hand your soul is in and if you're not reincarnated, you will pick your soul's color each of the five times. If you're reincarnated, you'll pick the opposite color five times. The audience will recite to you the color you've chosen."

He’d FINALLY given us his blessing and I was determined to stay on his good side. “I won’t take up much of your time,” he said. “I just…I wanted to give you something.” He handed me a string of pearls. At first, I was surprised. Why would I want a string of pearls? But when I looked at them more closely, I could see that they were not ordinary pearls. They shone with a strange iridescent glow, as though they were made of faded rainbows. I looked up at him, confused. “Sidian pearls,” he said, a half-smile on his face.

Still I didn't ran away , my pace wasn't hurried , I wished my mother would rush behind me . She didn't. She never does . After all it was her absolute humiliation and embrassment that she created some one so ugly and imperfect like me . I was nothing just an imperfect imitation and Once upon a pageant queen of every pageant of my mother wanted nothing more than to wipe this imperfection off her perfect family . Only she couldn't And neither could I.

The theme of the ball was Purple Skies and it was mandatory to wear suitable colors to match the theme. I took one of my purple dresses off the rack. It hugged my body in the right places and the back area was exposed. The gold straps made it prettier than usual and I thought it would be best to continue with gold. I put on my favorite pair of gold heels, gold earrings and a long tassel statement necklace. Gen assisted with curling my hair and doing my makeup. Finally, I applied my body perfume and took my gold clutch and walked out the door with Gen following beside me. ________________________________

Alina concluded. “Yes!” Alya replied. “And once a pearl is given away, it can’t be taken back. Otherwise, both of us will disappear together.” “What’ll happen to him if he doesn’t fall in love with you after a year?” Alina asked. “Nothing,” Alya sighed. “The power of the pearl will go away and he’ll live his life normally without me.” She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Her mind was confused by what was going to happen and even though what she did was really silly, she had no choice but to save him. However, this new complication is going to end her life anyway.

I scrolled through my inbox, quite disappointed I got none from Nicholas. I gazed at the pearl bracelet he had given me at the beach, 'A pearl is a symbol of perfection and incorruptibility' he said. He was just the opposite of the bracelet, corrupt and imperfect. I ran my finger through each stones and slid it off my wrist gently, then I threw it in the trash can at the corner of my room.

The pearls were round and glowed with a brilliant luster, making it impossible to take your eyes off them with just one glance. “This pearl necklace is so beautiful,” the stylist said, picking up the pearls and placing the necklace around Jessica’s neck. “The whiteness of the pearls, combined with Miss Johnson’s skin tone and the white of the wedding dress, makes your whole appearance pure and perfect, like a beautiful piece of jade.”

“I should be the one worried. I don’t even want to ask how much your dress costs.” “Says the one wearing obvious designers.” I rolled my eyes as we entered the car. “Courtesy of Lara, the only woman to love me for my gold digging ways.” He gave a fake bow before starting the car. **** “Oh shit.” Vincent gasped. He was not exaggerating his reaction. As we slowly approached the huge ballroom, I began to feel out of place. Vincent stopped the car for the valet to park. We both alighted the car. Vincent took my hand and wrapped it around his and we both made our way to the entrance.

I had looked at it then and put it back and not taken it out again in all the months since. I took it out now. The pearls were still slightly discolored from the heat. Still fused at the clasp. Still on their strand. I had kept them exactly as they were found because I did not want to restore them. Restored things looked like they had not been through what they had been through, and that felt dishonest. I stood at the water’s edge and looked at them in my palm for a long time. I thought about the fountain. The mist settling over both of us like something that had been waiting to do exactly that. Her bare feet on the damp stone. The way she rose up on her toes to reach me when I kissed her.

The moment I touch it, however, I notice how strange it is. I notice that the pearl seems heavy, but as I examine it more closely, I can’t help but notice that it lacks the telltale luster of a real gemstone. My keen eye for detail spots imperfections and irregularities on its surface, giving away its counterfeit nature. The smoothness and uniformity that genuine pearls possess are noticeably absent. I smile as I look up at her and ask, “Where did you get your bag?” She initially appears surprised by my question but quickly becomes anxious, realizing that her deception may be on the verge of exposure. Sensing her unease, I maintain my calm demeanor, subtly revealing my suspicions.
