The Necklace Settings Novels & Stories

pag-iiba niya ng usapan nang dumating ang delivery sa lobby ng office building ko. Kumain kami sa loob ng opisina ko, sa maliit na table malapit sa aking drafting board. Habang kumakain, hindi namin maiwasang mapunta ang usapan sa trabaho. Inilatag ko ang mga sketches ko sa harap niya habang ngumunguya siya ng steak. "This piece," turo niya sa isang design ng necklace na may teardrop emerald. "The setting should be more open. Let the light hit the stone from the back."

Halos manlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ang hawak hawak niya. He immediately put all my hair on the side of my neck to put the necklace he was holding to. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, ito yung kwintas na nakita at nagustuhan ko noong unang beses na lumabas kami ng binata. Ito yung white gold necklace na ang pendant ay star. “Rocco…” “You like it?”

Sana may umakyat na katulong para samahan kami. “You can wear this tonight.” Aniya. Iniharap niya ang laman ng kahon sa akin at napatigil ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang makitang jewelry set iyon. “Nicolas, tingin ko—” “Suotin mo muna, tingnan natin kung babagay sa’yo.” Kinuha niya ang diamond necklace, ibinaba niya saglit ang kahon sa ibabaw ng kama at humakbang para tuluyan kaming maglapit. Nagtungo siya sa likod ko.

Akala ko nga ay yayakapin niya ako mula sa likod pero tumaas lang ang kamay niya hanggang sa aking leeg at may naramdaman akong malamig na bagay do'n. Bumaba ang aking tingin sa aking leeg para tingnan ang malamig na bagay na aking naramdaman. At hindi ko napigilan ang mapaawang ng aking labi nang makita ko ang isang tennis necklace na white gold na punong-puno ng diamond na isinuot niya sa aking leeg. I couldn't even help myself from raising one hand to touch the necklace he had just put on my neck.

She stepped out into the cool night air, gathered the heavy fabric of her midnight-blue gown in her hands, and hurried up the grand staircase, desperate to escape the suffocating presence of the beast. She burst into the master bedroom, slamming the heavy wooden door shut behind her. The silence of the room offered no comfort. Elena walked over to the vanity mirror, her hands trembling violently as she reached up to unclasp the heavy diamond necklace. The priceless family heirloom clattered against the marble surface, sounding like iron chains hitting the floor. "Masyado ka ngang mabilis tumakbo, Elena," a deep, dark voice echoed from the doorway.

Ang pangalan ng mataas na building kung saan naroon si Knight – sa opisina ng kan'yang solo owned company. Naka upo sa kan'yang swivel chair, Knight stared intensely at a necklace he also bought at the auction that night —a flawless 50-carat round brilliant diamond, surrounded by dozens of smaller high-grade diamonds set in platinum. The necklace also had rare colored gemstones, a vivid blue sapphires and pink diamonds, woven into an intricate, handcrafted design. Ito ang ireregalo niya sa fiance' niya, 'she'll look absolutely stunning and gorgeous in this necklace," He smiled. Naiisip kung magiging gaano kaganda ang kan'yang fiancé pag suot ito.

But I will not tolerate someone who will use my son to gain power to the throne. "Yeah, putting that aside, I would like to give you this. Actually, si Lolo talaga ang gustong magbigay nito sa iyo pero ayaw daw niyang maging emosyonal kaya ako na ang inutusan na ibigay ito sayo." At tsaka may iniabot si Ate sa akin. Isa itong kwentas. "Another necklace?" Tanong ko ngunit tinaggap ko iyon. It's a silver necklace with teardrop diamond pendant but it seems like there is a stardust inside. It was like a loop inside floating and moving around endlessly.

Sensitibo siya sa mga haplos nito. "M-Mal..." she murmured and touched the necklace on her neck. The pendant was circular, and there were Swarovski crystals around it, in the middle was a sapphire stone. She was sure that it cost a fortune. Why was he giving such a thing to her? Why does he keep on making her heart pound fast? Her breathing hitched when hee touched the necklace on her neck. Masuyo ang hipo kagaya ng pagdantay ng paru-paro sa talutot ng bulaklak.

"You left this when you ran away. I told you, pumunta ako sa bahay mo pagkatapos sabihing kasama ka sa pagsabog." "Anzo..." iyon na lang ang nasabi ko. That's the necklace he gave me during my 18th birthday, iyong nagperform ako sa Star of the Night. "I want you to wear this necklace one more time. Wear this together with our engagement ring." My heart is pounding hard. Hindi ko alam na naitago niya pa 'to. When I left East Village, wala na akong pakialam sa mga bagay na suot ko dahil kinain na ako ng takot.

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…
