CHAPTER 13

Serene

"What did he just come to my place?" I asked myself, while cautiously opening the door.

"Good evening, madam. I am looking for Ms. Serene Brights," the man waiting at the door stated to me. I knew he was a puzzle driver merely by glancing at his clothing and reading what was printed on his batch.

"Is everything OK, Ma'am?" He questioned, perhaps assuming something was amiss with his outfit after I gazed at it for about two minutes.

"Oh sure, everything is fine. My name is Serene Brights," I said, my mind racing with inquiries.

The delivery lad walked to his vehicle and returned with a present bag. He handed it to me, and I immediately signed the paperwork before he departed. Doubts about the present bag being mine began to wash over me. I had not opened it yet, but I could see how expensive everything inside was. I unzipped the bag and withdrew the first box, which contained a stunning dazzling diamond necklace. I held it out and ran my fingertips along its borders.
