The Family Jewels Book 소설 & 이야기

The healing drafts will fix me up just fine… and I don’t plan to share any of it with him. Using what’s left of my strength, I pull him into an armchair. I rip off his leather jacket and dig through his pockets, finding a wallet and a few pocket knives but nothing else. No moonstone. It wasn’t at the Fence. I followed him there. I lingered near the bar, using the hood of my cloak to shield my face from onlookers, while he sold my jewels. I bought the jewels back from the disgusting man who runs the Fence, not wanting to have to cause a scene. Grandpa Ryatt will notice the money missing from the family coffers, but a stern talking to about my spending habits is better than what he’d do if I’d

"Okay." It's Saturday. Simon and his dad went out to visit a certain family friend who's been hospitalized. Jewel went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Hall to prepare for dinner. Jewel admires her soon to be mother in-law. She personally attend to her family's meal. She has maids around her to help, she instructs them on preparing the ingredients for cooking and table wares but she cooked most of the meal.

Now, she understands why Mrs. Hall doesn't want her to work anymore. She would love to stay and just take

An elderly and wrinkled jeweler exclaimed enthusiastically. "Folks, may I dare ask if this showcase is unparalleled?" Johnson Bart smiled upon hearing their reaction. "Of course, it is!" The crowd nodded, but complaints would be criticisms. After all, the Johnson family's jewels alone were more than enough to shut people up, let alone this pink diamond. If they still found intentional flaws, that would be going beyond the limits. They were not so vain. "Miss Veronezzi seems to have something to say." Liana suddenly brought the spotlight to Kaya, and everyone involuntarily turned to look at Kaya and saw the sadness on her face. They were reminded again of the feud between Zimon and the White

If she was not stupid, she would have seen the handwriting on the wall, that I am not interested in her nor any other stupid woman like her.

"Jenna, only I have the right to say whether you deserve this or not. Come here." Vivian beckoned to her after figuring out her concerns. Jenna approached hesitantly; she was still nervous. "Jenna, only you are truly worthy of this jewelry. Listen to me. I sincerely want to give it to you. Just take it for my sake. Take it, otherwise I cannot rest in peace." Grandma Richards took her hand and tears were welling up in her eyes. "My child, the Richards family has done you wrong, including me. I did not protect you. It is not your fault that you divorced Hansen. My grandson is unworthy and stubborn. He doesn't deserve someone like you. Since you once were a member of our family, I believe that

"You're just too kind. We're so lucky to have you. You're the Moon Goddess' greatest gift to our family. Alright, we'll do as you say. Let's just focus on your recovery." The golden sunset poured through the healing center's windows, wrapping the four of them in warm light. Watching that perfect family scene, I felt like nothing more than an outsider. I was never a part of this family. I didn't belong in that warmth. I tried to speak, but no one could hear me. I wanted to run, but my soul was still bound to Mom. I could only watch in silence as they repeatedly shamed me.

They weren’t really his full-blooded nephews, but they were his nephews nonetheless. Inside his bedroom, after he was serviced by the woman, the don was back to his morose countenance but the woman did not seem to mind as she was busy playing with the diamond and gold tiara the don gave her, another insurance for her family. “Those imbeciles, they should have found my heir by now but what do they do? Waste away my money. Come my pet and distract me once more.” he beckoned her back to his bed. Not wanting to bear the brunt of his ire, the woman went willingly. She knew what happens if the old man’s anger isn’t pacified. Most of the people in their community would suffer, her family for one so

I forced a smile, pretending his little stunt hadn’t bothered me. “Are you both getting along?” my mum cut in. Her face glowed, just like it always did whenever my dad came home from work. She was helplessly in love with Mr. Fred, and I doubted she could ever pull herself out of it. If she was happy, then I told myself I was happy too. But for some reason, something felt wrong. Every time Mr. Fred’s gaze lingered on me, a strange rush stirred inside me. I wasn’t sure if it showed, but I caught myself stealing glances back at him.

Watson's daughter…" Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at me. "It's just a pity that this child suffered for nothing. Why should Mr. Watson's family get to happily eat together while she lies here all alone? "Who exactly are her parents?"

I walk into the house, my parents house always had a glow to it, but now it was an eerie, cold feeling spread everywhere. Climbing up the stairs, opening the rooms, it was a suffocating layer of expensive perfume, artificial roses and lilies, struggling to mask something chemical. Something sweet and rotten at the same time, I began to tear the room apart. I was being reckless but I was past the point of caring. I ripped the sheets from the bed, the fabric shredding under my grip. I overturned the marble vanity, sending bottles of designer serums shattering across the floor. I threw her clothes onto the pile, looking for the Vale jewels that should have been locked in the family vault but we
