The Necklace Author Novels & Stories

It was Lily again, peeking through the doorway. I reached into my silk pocket and felt the small **Sun & Moon necklace** I always carried. I remember a boy once told me it would keep me safe when the world got dark. Now, looking at this lonely mansion, the cruel maid, and my cold husband, I realized I was in the darkest place of my life. I was in a cage. And the key was held by a man who was clearly more than just a farmer. *Ninety days, Sofia,* I whispered to myself as I entered my cold, empty bedroom. *Just survive ninety days. For Papa. For your name.*

Nagpadala ako sa mga maling akala ko. The necklace was well-maintained and polished. Sa paglipas ng mahabang panahon ay hindi man lang ‘yon nangitim. It looked like it was still new na para bang palaging nililinis. The ring pendant was also the same. It was shiny, and it even gleamed more when the lit of the fire reflected to it. ‘After all these years, nasa kanya pa rin pala ito? Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit siya na-trap dito sa loob? But what really happened here… and why would Athena even risk her life for this?’

ang biglang anunsiyo ni Rafael. Eliza curiously frowned when Rafael showed her a large-sized velvet box. When he opened the box, Eliza gasped in awe when she saw the sparkling necklace. The blue sapphire pendant is adorned with small diamonds, and it literally took her breath away... "This is my Grandma Victorina's favorite necklace. It's like a family heirloom. Now, it's yours..." Rafael informed her. Eliza's eyes widened in utter shock. It's such a great honor for her to wear this impeccably beautiful necklace, and she feels so lucky to be able to wear it!

"I want details. Anong himala ang dumapo sa mundo para maging ganyan ka." Kung hindi lang malaki ang respeto ko sa mestisong briton na 'to, matagal ko na siyang ginawang pataba ng lupa. "This." I fished the necklace from my pocket. Inilapag ko iyon sa lamesa. "Is that?" "Yes. And no. I want to know if this shit here is real bago ako tumalon sa isang kumunoy. I want to be sure. Isa pa, you're still working on that case I got for you. This comes in handy, I suppose."

Malumanay ko siyang tiningnan. He really looks good at whatever he does. What an unfair life. Napangiti ako at pinagmasdan siyang magmaneho. I am more comfortable with him than being with my own family. I sighed and walked towards his mansion with him. Dumiretso siya sa bathroom habang ako ay kinuha ang necklace ko na nasa night stand. The necklace is not like the other necklace. It's different. The pendant is like a teardrop, hindi ganoon kaliit ang pendant nito tulad ng iba kong mga necklace.

The void in their lives that no amount of wealth or power could fill. “I still remember the gold longevity necklace she wore that day…” Madam Meyer’s voice faltered. Arnold’s jaw tensed. “Mom, people are greedy. That pendant was probably stolen and pawned a long time ago.” “Tama si Kuya,” Selene chimed in gently. “That lock... kung kanino man siya napunta, baka matagal nang wala sa kanya.” Madam Meyer slowly lowered herself onto the velvet couch, her fingers tracing the edge of her shawl. Her eyes looked far away—but suddenly, something in her gaze shifted.

Napapitlag na lang siya at nabaling ang atensyon niya mula sa fireworks na pinapanood niya nang maramdaman ang malamig na bagay sa kanyang leeg. It was a necklace with a crystal cherry blossom pendant embedded with gold around it that Vincent put on her neck…

“What do you mean, mommy?" buong pagtatakang tanong ni Yael. “Do you know how many jewelry stores sell necklaces with engraved names? Anyone can have one, Yael. Anyone.” “Mommy, that necklace is rare and a very limited edition. Even the jewelry store confirmed it. They only made one of it and the buyer was Livina. How could—”

Kasi alam kong hindi basta basta nakakapasok ang mga ordinaryong tao sa loob. Agad na inasikaso si Alaric. Maraming inalok sa kanyang masterpiece na jewelry but one caught my attention. It has exquisite design. Its main design is the flower at the center with an emerald gem scattered around its petals. Diamonds are there as an outline for that necklace. Marami namang ibang design na magaganda rin pero nahatak lang ako sa ganda ng necklace. “Do you like it, ma'am?” biglang tanong sa akin ng babae. She smiled at me at saka nilapit sa akin ang kanina ko pa tinitignan na necklace.

Muling tanong ko. "I'm thinking about Necklace," he said and looked around. Tumango ako at muling nag tingin tingin. Tahimik kong pinapasadahan ng tingin ang mga necklace at napako ang tingin ko sa isang rose gold na necklace, it's not just a simple necklace dahil pag sinuot mo ito ay talagang agaw pansin dahil sa mga nakapalibot na diamante, you can wear it with it's circle pendant with a pave' diamonds.
