“I didn’t know tonight would be so formal.” Theo’s mother smiled warmly, dismissing my concern. “That’s fine, dear. These are all you’ll need now. They’re one of a kind, just like you.” Her words were kind, but I couldn’t help noticing the gleam in her eye as she fastened the earring.

They’re part of a set that’s been in our family for generations.”

Every movement of the Matriarch’s hand was deliberate, reverent. A hush fell over the room. Even the soft clinking of silverware seemed to vanish. The music carried a presence, a weight, as if time itself paused to listen. Donna’s eyes lifted slightly, a flicker of recognition crossing her features. “I remember this song,” she murmured. “It used to play in my mother’s house.” Rose’s lips curved faintly, almost imperceptibly, as she reached for the second velvet box.

Then I remembered that all of these had probably been bought with money that I was put to work to make, and my awe was replaced by sadness and self-pity. "Don't think so highly of yourself, the money you make isn't even worth my dog's chain. Till tomorrow," Hamilton said, cutting through my train of thoughts.

My mother’s voice was calm, soothing, and Pearl’s tight posture relaxed at the words. “Actually, there is something I would love to help with,” Pearl said as she pushed off the counter. I sat upright. “Anything. You name it.” Pearl turned and opened a bottom cupboard to pull out a large tote. She walked over to the table and flipped over the bag, dumping its contents all over the wood. A carving knife bounced across it and fell off the side. I bent over and picked it up, feeling the sharp edge of the metal scrape against my fingers.

It glitters, the spark in reminder of the diamond ornaments that surrounded it remarkably. The room enriches of pearl and gold parched up her throat. ‘Where am I?’ She thought. All of a sudden, the two wooden double doors were pushed open. The pointed nose, dark eyes and lips that curve up on a straight line strangely is what caught her eyes.

Karen, who had been watching the worksheet on her tablet screen, while occasionally shaking her head in wonder at Celine's childlike behavior, could only say, "Don't you have a similar bracelet? I remember you got it from Mr. Johansen at the banquet one year ago." Celine spluttered. "Don't you remind me of that old man with many wants." But then, Celine smiled cheerfully.

Eric walks to the counter and asks Gareth what it is. “This is an invitation from the restaurant across the street.” Gareth tells him. Eric rolls his eyes and looks at Gareth. “Are these theatrics really necessary?” Eric says as he pulls the satin cloth from the glass cube. He almost instantly feels a deep ache in his chest. Inside the glass cube is a beautiful white plate made from the finest porcelain. He does not need to turn it around. He knows that it is very expensive. It was his mother’s favourite brand. In the middle of the plate is a fork, mounted on a holder that keeps the fork in place. The handle of the fork is slightly raised into the air. It looks as if it is being held by an i

The table was made with one of the most expensive marbles, painted black with gold diagram designs at strategic places on the table. The feet of the table were adorned with shiny glass materials that also carried gold-like structure designs on them. It was elegant but not the kind of elegance you would say for a dining at the Lorenzo dynasty.

Hell, you can even fit two or three families in it from my pack. For the third time, my jaw dropped as I gawked at the significant area I was dragged in. I took in the brilliant, beautiful chandeliers that hung right above the long, dining table. She can’t possibly make me believe this table accommodates her family, and not her pack. I see vases of all sizes displayed on top of every insignificant table around the room, and I could tell from the intricate, well-patterned designs that the vases are worth at least one million. Each. The floor contained pure, black marble tiles encrusted with diamonds, pearls, and onyx, which is probably the most expensive floor I ever set foot on in this life.

The moment the mind-link snapped shut, the echo of his rage still pressed against my skull. “See?” Selene’s voice dripped with contempt inside the shared link. “Low-blood trash always thinks they can steal what isn’t theirs.” I said nothing. That diamond was my mother’s bride-gift, the Moon’s Tear. That diamond wasn’t just a jewel. It was my mother’s bridal heirloom—the Moon’s Tear.
