Unless… the Buckley family has been peddling counterfeits all along?"

She saw her white skin of cheeks turning red. " That's cute. " She smiled. " Thank you. " Emilia stared down at her ring, " So headlines were true. Liam Rodriguez put a pink diamond in his future to be wife's finger. " She astounded. " I didn't know about the headlines. First I thought it was a pink sapphire. " She answered her genuinely.

Thirty minutes later, I step into a quiet, high end shop. The jeweler, Tim, though everyone calls him Carm, opens a black case filled with brilliance. Thirty rings. My breath catches. And then I see it. Pink. Oval-cut. Rare. “A real pink diamond?” I ask. He tests the clarity. Perfect. “How much?” “One hundred fifteen thousand, ” I nod. “I’ll take it. And the band. Same setting.” “Twenty-five.” “Done.” Black card. Then earrings. Pink. Halo studs. Another twenty five thousand.

The headline was bold and damning: "The Puppet Master: How Daniel Stokes Orchestrated One of the Biggest Financial Scandals in History" The article laid everything bare—Stokes’s involvement with Lydia and Cassia, the shell companies, the fraudulent deals, the manipulation of the Hawthorne family fortune. It was a masterclass in investigative journalism, meticulously detailing every step of the conspiracy and exposing the true scope of the corruption that had destroyed Elara’s life.

Abigail hummed in agreement. "I heard Miss Grey and Mr Shawn Darwin from the Luxury Company are having a meeting again today."

Claudia is supporting me and she even mentioned trust? "Ha! You're at this again. Nice!" Micaela snickered and shook her head. "Mine, my diamond, I'm sorry I never believed you, I was just so stupid and stubborn to listen to you. These past one month has not been easy without you by my side. When I got to know the whole truth of what happened that night, I regretted not giving you a chance to prove your innocence. But all that is in the past now, the enemy behind our rough past is now behind bars and...."

Serenity frowned but chose to ignore her. But the woman didn't stop. She saw the pink diamond ring on Serenity's finger. "Oh my, look at that ring. It's so big, it must be glass," the woman laughed, turning to her friends. "I bet she bought it from a street vendor to look rich. No real diamond is that pink." "It's the Pink Star," Alex said coldly, not looking up from his book. "It was auctioned for 71 million dollars in Hong Kong last month.
