Mia was startled and confused. With the bottle of water in her other hand, she took a sip nonchalantly and shook her head. “No. It’s right there on my finger! Or are you blind?” She looked at him playfully. Darren on the other hand was in no mood to joke. His expression darkened and his voice lowered. “Let me see.” Unlike Mia, he was very familiar with the ring. He knew something was wrong with it at just a glance. As she took off the ring, Mia muttered to herself, “weird”. Darren pressed his fingers against his temple and pucker up the ring to have a closer look. His expression grew even more serious. “The back of the ring I have you is engraved with my mother’s initials, but this ring has no such engravings.” Darren knew she was short on money, but he didn’t expect her to sell the ring just like that. He wouldn’t have minded if it were any other ring, but this ring in particular was left by his mother. “Is this a fake?” Mias eyes went wide in shock. She took the ring b
Without waiting for a response, Mia strides out. As he watched her leave, Darren frowned. He felt depressed. Sighing heavily, he quickly picked up his jacket and rushed out to follow her. It was late June now, and it was extremely hot in the afternoon. As he followed Mia from a distance. Darren stared at her long hair fluttering in the wind. Where on earth was she headed? Darren had no clue. Judging from the woman’s hurt tone just now, he could tell that there was more to the story. Moreover, he would’ve been able to tell if she was lying. Darren quickened his pace and collected the woman closely. As they walked, he couldn’t help but feel bad. Did he wrongfully accuse Mia?” After passing Two streets and traffic lights, Mia finally veered off the sidewalk and entered a second hand shop. Darren followed her silently. “I want to see your shop manager!” Mia slapped the ring hard on the counter. Her beautiful face was ice cold and sullen. When she wasn’t smiling, she always loo
Mia’s words completely wiped the smug smile off of the shop manager's face. She quickly tried to calm down and said feebly, “I offered you that price yesterday. I don’t want to buy it anymore.” After all, the counterfeit wasn’t worth much. If she bought it at such an extravagant price, she’d be crazy. Smiling sardonically, Mia continued, “you wanted it so bad yesterday. The surveillance footage can prove it. Why don’t you want it now? Is it because you know that this one’s a fake and isn’t with a million?” The shop manager faltered, “uhm, well… I thought the ring was an antique. I had seen something similar in a jewellery magazine before. But when you left the ring here for resizing, I looked at it carefully, and I realised that it wasn’t the same one as in the magazine. It just looked similar. So I don’t want it anymore.” After saying that, she took a deep breath and regained her composure.”Miss, please go now. We have a business to run. Please escort this lady out.” But her
The three sides of the interrogation room were made of dark grey glass. People outside would have a clear view of everything inside. Darren was standing outside the glass door. His shiny leather shoes looked spotless, and his dark eyes narrowed at the dazzling emerald ring he held between his slender fingers. His fingertips rubbed against the initials carved on the inner wall of the ring he looked dangerous. The coffee in Jane’s hands had turned cold. He cautiously handed it to Darren again. “Boss, we found the woman. Well bring her in for interrogation right away. I’ll make sure she confesses everything.” Darren nodded and looked at the interrogation room. The shop manager was brought in. She was no longer arrogant and domineering as before. She looked around and found men clad in suits staring at her. “Where did you get this ring?” James pounded the table. He sounded just like a fierce detective. The shop manager rubbed her hands nervously. Judging from their clothes and
Caught in the Act. “Why don’t you just break up with her?” The woman asked in a seductive voice. She was completely naked and riding a naked man. “Please, just stop mentioning her name while we are fucking” The man was so lost in pleasure, he did not need any distractions. The man was so excited, he squeezed the woman’s breast making her moan in pleasure, he was in a world filled with delight and extreme pleasure at the moment. The woman seemed dissatisfied as she didn’t get the answer she needed from the man. “No way, I wonder why you are still hooked on her? She’s just an adoptive daughter, Even the maids hold an important role in our house, what’s so good about her?” The man didn’t say anything. He gripped the woman’s waist and thrust harder, which made her scream and moan his name. Mia Thompson stood in front of the door listening to everything inside the room. Her tired eyes turned cold as she listened to the conversions. She had just returned from the orphanage home, whe
“Okay, I will Marry him.”Lydia was extremely happy, when those words slipped through Mia’s lips, she never wanted her daughter to marry the illegitimate son of the Edward’s Family, but her Husband was so hell bent on fulfilling his promise to Edward family because he had his so-called prestige to keep. And now that her daughter was so smart to come up with such a brilliant idea, she felt so satisfied. She didn’t mind her daughter getting pregnant for Mark, he was the eldest son of the Grey family which made him the heir to the Family Company, Her daughter will not suffer instead she would have a really bright future.Instead of her daughter marrying that broke and jobless man, she preferred that her daughter gets pregnant for Greg. She wanted so much for her daughter and this marriage had been the biggest obstacle to her daughter’s future. Now that the obstacles were out of the picture, She felt so glad and happy that Mia had agreed to Marry the Illegitimate son of the Edward fa
All eyes were on him, he seemed to exude an effortless charm. Eva’s eyes lit up, she guessed the handsome man, she guessed the handsome man would be somehow related to Darren. The Edward’s family were one of the most powerful families in the city. After all Darren was an illegitimate son. Eva felt that Darren would never be able to meet up with the nobles of the Edward’s family. The man before her looked so charming and regal so she thought he most certainly had a connection to the Edward’s family, he might even be the legal heir of the family. She totally forgot about the man she came to the wedding with, immediately she sets her eyes on Darren. His good looks and charms both excited her and surprised her. She thought Mark was a handsome man but compared with the man in front of her, Mark undeniably became the button of the barrel type. Eva walked forward and greeted the man “ Are you Darren’s brother or relative?” Merely looking him in the eyes, made her blush. She felt, if s
Seeing the frown on Mia’s face, Darren followed her gaze and saw his watch. Moments later he realised what she was thinking. “ this is a fake, I got it from a friend” he whispered beside her ears “but I usually wear it to look cool , I didn’t expect you would notice it”Darren removed the watch and put it inside his pocket. “It looks real tho” Mia smiled and stepped back covering her flaming ears. Darren was leaning closer and she could feel his breath blowing in her ear as he spoke. As Mia thought about it she realised it’s normal for Darren to have a street friend who sells fake things. She breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment Mia had freaked out, thinking Darren had done something illegal to make money. She knew nothing about the man she was getting married to, except he was a poor man who was jobless. Darren knitted his brows. He had heard the daughter of the Thompson family had several boyfriends and hung out with different men all the time. The girl before him shyness s
