Muling siyang tumindig at ipinatawag si Sela sa isa pang gwardiya. Ilang minuto pa ay dumating si Sela. "You are too careless with your things." Iniabot niya ang necklace kay Sela.

And worst, nakasama ko pa sa kwarto. “What do you think about this?” Niladlad niya sa harapan ko ang necklace na pinakuha niya sa saleslady. Nandito kasi kami sa isang jewelry shop at iyon ang nakakuha ng atensyon niya. Gold necklace iyon na may leaf pendant tapos may dalawang maliit na flower sa magkabilang gilid.

Alam niyang ang dahilan kung bakit gustong ipaalam ni Manson sa buong mundo kung sino siya ay para pigilan ang kanyang ama na ipag-blind date siya sa ibang lalaki. Nagsimula ang auction, pero wala pang nakakakuha ng atensyon ni Claire. Ang tanong inaabangan niya lang ay ang makalumang kuwentas na halos dalawang daan taon na ang edad. Malapit na ang kaarawan ng kanyang ina kaya naman nais niyang regaluhan ito.

The necklace rested around her neck, all small bright diamonds, and one large topaz, resting heavily on her breast. Sobrang ganda. . .Bagay na bagay iyon sa suot niyang gown. Olga squeezed her arm.

I stared at it like it was a ticking bomb. "Open it," he said quietly. "No." "It's not poisoned," he added, lips twitching bitterly.

My throat closed. It was a necklace. But not just any necklace. The diamond at its center was obscene. A monster cut—flawless, cruelly pure, almost the size of a goddamn egg. Around it were dozens of smaller stones, delicate and sharp. The platinum chain glittered like blood under moonlight.

Ang desperadang, gagawa na ng paraan upang ma-ikasal. Tuwang tuwa siyang pinagmamasdan ang mamahaling gown. Pati na rin ang isang necklace, na kumikinang dahil sa mga nakabalot na diyamante. Lahat ng ito ay dapat para kay Bella. Ngunit, ngayon ay nasa kasamaan niyang mga kamay.

Tanong niya sa mahinang boses. Nate opened the box at tumambad sa kanya ang isang set ng pearl jewelry. "It's a newly set release South sea pearl in Australia. You're the first one to have this collection, Barbara," ani Nate at isinuot na sa kanyang leeg ang kwintas na may single strand ng kumikinang na pearl necklace.

This is no ordinary sapphire; its provenance whispers of legendary mines, its origins shrouded in the mists of time, a treasure passed through generations. Surrounding this breathtaking centerpiece is a halo of smaller, perfectly matched sapphires, each a miniature echo of the central stone's splendor. These exquisite gems are set in a meticulously crafted frame of platinum, a metal as rare and precious as the stones it cradles.
