Chapter 17 

Early in the morning, a procession of haute couture outfits was delivered to Nathaniel’s penthouse

His assistant had never seen Nathaniel so meticuloushours spent trying on suits, as if even a wedding wouldn’t have required this much effort

The final outfit selected, Nathaniel retrieved an antique mahogany box from the safeits goldinlaid craftsmanship alone could fetch a million at Christie’s. They say he’d specially commissioned the box at auction just to house one particular jewel

Just how priceless could the jewel be

The lid lifted, revealing a sapphire bracelet nestled in velvet

A sapphire bracelet

The assistant stifled a gasp. For a man of his discernment, the piece was frankly pedestrianworth no more than six figures at most

Yet Nathaniel cradled it like a holy relic, fingers tracing stones worn smooth by a decade of secret handling

Ten years to the day

The memory struck like a shivhis stepbrother’s goons pinning him in that stinking alley, brass knuckles gleaming as they debated which tendons to sever first. Thenher. That slip of a girl materializing from the shadows, outmaneuvering them with nothing but razor wit and a fake police siren app

As the thugs fled, she’d pressed this bracelet into his bleeding palm-So you’ll remember today wasn’t all bad.” 

The design was a celestial puzzlehis sapphire sunstrand interlocked with her ruby moonstrand to form a single harmonia bracelet. Separate, they were elegant. United, the hidden clasp transformed them into an unbreakable mandalatwo halves of a coded oath

When he asked what she wanted in return, she’d grinned, A pretty guy like you? How about pledging yourself to me?” 

He knew she’d jested. But he remembered

A brutal head injury had left him with a concussion that blurred her face in the alley’s gloom, their 

exchange fragmented

For years, he’d searched. Every anniversary, he returned to that alley

Three years ago, fate brought him there againambushed once more, only to encounter Emily

He remembered it vividlyher watching from her car like a spectator. Had his face not caught her 

eye, she’d never have stepped out, let alone saved him

Emily was nothing like that girl

Where the girl had been sunlight, Emily was shadow

Her rescuehad bound him to her for three years

Yet it also led him to the one he’d sought for a decade

At the Sinclair family banquet, spotting the ruby chain on Isabella’s wrist, recognition struck 

instantly. Deliver this to the Sinclair estate.” 

The bracelet’s rightful owner was found. Seeing it, Isabella would surely remember

As the assistant bowed, accepting the case, Nathaniel added, Send the ten finest pieces from 

Hawthorne Jewelry’s new collection as well. Let her choose.”
