Pandora Money Bag Charm Novels & Stories

"I have a gift for you." I sat down in the plush chair across from her desk. Mama opened her desk drawer and pulled out a small suede box with gold accents on the sides. She handed it to me. "Open it." "What is it?" "You gotta open it to find out," she replied with sarcastic annoyance. And so, I opened it. Inside was a necklace charmed with a small pendant the size of a quarter that glowed bright sapphire, circled with what looked to be obsidian. I recognized the veve on the middle of the pendant—it belonged to Papa Legba, the Vodou god of crossroads.

"Is this it?" Charlie whispered, looking serious as a duck. "Yup." Beth hands him a paper bag with "POLLY THE TAILOR" written on it, "They've added the pushup bra with silicon in it." "Good." He nodded. "Oh, and Polly wanted you to have this too." She handed him a pink pouch that has a ribbon as the lock. He shook the pink-clothed pouch and he grinned "Perfect." I raised an eyebrow, "What's inside that bag?"

She said, handing Pearl a box. She opened it to find a charm bracelet inside. There were four charms attached. A palm tree, a bird, the Italian flag and a heart with the words "honestati semper" on one side and the word "Austria" on the other. Pearl smiled and held it up to her heart. "Do you like it?" Angelica asked.

"And I plan to fight like hell for boring and normal and safe." A knock at the door interrupted us. Isabella stood there, holding up a delicate silver bracelet. "It's ready. Five charms. GPS, transmitter, emergency beacon, and two decoys to make it look balanced. The emergency beacon is the heart charm. Squeeze it twice fast, once slow." I took the bracelet, turning it over in my hands. It was beautiful, the kind of thing someone might wear to a nice dinner. You'd never know it was packed with surveillance technology.

“Each one carries an ancient blessing and holds deep cultural significance.” The expressions in the room softened slightly. “To reflect their precious nature and my appreciation for you,” I paused. “Every charm is personally crafted by North America’s most renowned wolf artisan, representing the Moon Goddess’s blessing for each of you.” “The cost,” my voice dropped, suddenly crystal clear, “is twenty-eight dollars. Each.” Time stopped again. Twenty-eight dollars. Versus ten thousand dollars. The numbers exploded in their minds like thunder. “T-twenty-eight?” someone stammered.

She pulled out the last present, a secret one—a beautiful charm bracelet. The charms first struck Elena as a little clunk and odd, but as she held them up to light, she gasped at their level of fine etching. Each charm was a masterpiece in its own right. There was a tiny white mask dotted with diamonds. Next to it was a pile of gambling chips with the letters "ABC" carved into the top.

I nodded and cautiously opened the box, hoping they wouldn't give me something inappropriate to open in public. I gasped as I looked inside. Inside was a rose gold charm bracelet. Carefully picking it up, I looked at the charms. The clasp had a heart with an infinity symbol, the symbol for polyamory, with the word Love in script above the heart and Forever under it. It had four letter charms, each of our initials.

His face was stretched into a grin, his eyes sparkling with the boyish charm that endeared me to him originally, and he stopped in front of me. “Here.” “A brown paper bag?” “Just open it.” I unfolded the top, the paper rustling as I did, and reached inside. My fingers wrappped around a ball chain, and there was a small clink as I pulled it out. “Oh my god.” The Eiffel Tower charm at the end is sandwiched by a star charm and a red glass heart. The bag crumpled in my fist as the necklace flattened in my in palm, my jaw slacked.

Right before me, she pulled her mobile device out of her hand bag and dialed a number. Looking at the bag she held, the chains around the bag captivated me. This had to be a designer bag, I could tell that these chains were made of pure gold and would be expensive. "They are indeed making great profit from this.” I said to myself as I watched the phone beeping the call through.

She says this as she takes it out of the box. I went shopping with Nat last week for Daisy's birthday present. Of course, our bodyguards accompanied us. We weren't out for long because I knew exactly what I wanted to get her. I bought her a four-charm gold bracelet. The letter B, which stands for bubbles, is the first gold charm. The second charm is a Daisy flower with diamond-encrusted petals. The third charm is a horse, and the fourth is a crown studded with diamonds. I chose those four charms for her because they each have a special meaning. I assist her in putting it on before Alessandro approaches us.
