Pearl And Jade Novels & Stories

Destroying such a priceless pair of jade bracelets was indeed somewhat regrettable for Isabella, but since Emily had presented the opportunity to her, she didn't feel the need to be polite. There's a saying that goes: "Better a shattered jade than an unbroken piece of pottery." Jade is the finest of all gemstones, and it also has its own pride. The sound of knocking on the door echoed, and Isabella clenched her palm, softly saying, "Come in." Ava entered the room, holding a bowl of bird's nest soup to calm her nerves. "Thank you, Ava." Isabella took the bowl and had a sip. Then, she picked up the USB drive and a note with an address on it from the table and handed it to her.

Bran walked out of The curry's, the fifth eating house he had been to for the day, carrying an empty basket of fish. He waved his basket in the air to make sure there were no residue bones or scales left behind. As he expected, there were little to none, none except for a Jade Crystal which dropped from the basket and onto the rocky floor where it rolled around in the dust.

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.

“It was a foundation. A core.” Damien rubbed his arms to shake off the chill. “Foundations don’t usually hum like they’re alive.” I couldn’t argue. A soft light pulsed at the far side of the chamber. Something was sitting at the very center of the room on a stone platform—a round object about the size of a grapefruit, floating a few inches above the surface. It glowed with a shifting iridescence, like a drop of mercury caught in sunlight. It called to me. I didn’t hear a voice. It was more like… a pull in my blood.

In the study. Edgar brushed his fingertips along the edge of a velvet jewelry box. Inside lay a pair of imperial green jade cabochon earrings set in diamonds. The jade was a vivid full green, the diamonds sparkled brightly, and together they looked breathtaking. He had chosen these earrings especially as Evelyn’s birthday gift. All because at the jewelry exhibition, Evelyn’s gaze had lingered on them three extra seconds. Just then, Eleanor walked in carrying a fruit platter. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the earrings in her son’s hand. These are...

Still, an ache tightened in her chest as she realized she might never see this mesmerizing stranger again. But her heart leaped as she noticed the relaxed figure that had been sprawled across the cushions suddenly shift and stride toward her, his movements slow and deliberate. Her breath hitched as he stopped in front of her, close enough that she could feel warmth radiating from him. "This gem..." His low, velvety voice sent a thrill down her spine as his words reverberated between them. She barely had time to register his presence beside her ear, feeling his breath brush her skin, "...is the most precious in existence, a diamond, unparalleled." His voice, a mix of admiration and something

I wanted everything to be perfect for her return. Tonight, I opened her jewelry box, and with a delicate cloth, I began to wipe the treasures that had been stored away for so long. The garnet ring, the golden topaz pendant, the emerald bracelet, deep green like a forest lake, and countless other dazzling diamonds, pearls, and agates. Each one was a work of art, and I loved how they adorned the Princess, making her beauty even more radiant, enhancing her regal aura.

"You're keeping me on the edge, Gia. I need to see this man who has you feeling this way." I chuckle. "Come visit often then you might see him. He's doing a certain business with my dad. A business alliance, he calls it. I wonder what sort of business or investment whatsoever has him coming often but damn, I'm glad." I smile and finish my glass of water before standing. Nellie stands as well as we make our way to my office. "He's an Ardolf." "He's far different from Cole, trust me," I say just as I get her message. "I got to meet a certain Ardolf at the dinner. She's annoying as hell." I groan as I open my office door.

Though maybe when she hears my story, she will. "Topaz," she whispers. My whole body freezes in place as I look into those eyes, those beautiful green eyes. In some ways, mind me so much of Topaz. In others, Emerald are so much prettier. They are brighter and more intense. Looking at them, I can tell she is more determined, wiser, and stronger than her long-lost cousin. And though it sounds very shitty to say, I wish the moon goddess would have waited and given me her. Emerald clasps her hands, resting them on the island completely calm. She tilts her head, giving me a little smile, "talk to me, Archie, explain."

She had managed to sell the diamonds for E$480 million, seeing her virtual bank account showing that huge amount, she danced for three minutes to an imaginary tune. She now had a lot of money in her hands and more crystals to her disposal. The greatest news was the upgrade that happened to the mall. The leveling was crazy that it reached a higher point.
