chapter 107
-Open the box,” Betty enthused.
Olivia didn’t know what the object in the box was, and she couldn’t see herself just opening it like that. She didn’t even know why this man had given her a ring when there were plenty of other jewels to give someone. She wasn’t going to open it, and would wait until the day she met him for the next time, hoping that day would come.
-But Oli, you don’t look happy. Look, it doesn’t matter if he’s old, if he’s already wealthy, then that’s the main thing, darling. I’m too happy for you, you know.
-I’m going to stop you right there, Betty. That ring didn’t come from that investor, but from what Damon’s driver told me, it did come from the mysterious stranger, and he seems to know him, so there’s no reason for you to get any ideas.
The latter dropped her smile and as Olivia prepared to guard the jewel, she snatched it from her hands and began to observe it minutely. Maggie was just watching.
-I’m going to open it now.
-No, you can’t do that, Betty. I don’t want to see what’s inside, you understand that.
Before she could add anything Betty had opened the box and at the same time opened her mouth in an “o”, amazed at the gold jewelry inside. She pulled out the ring and began to gaze at it longingly.
-Oli, you’re a very lucky girl, this ring is worth millions of dollars. This man must really be rich and you’ll really have to look him up, even ask Damon, I’m sure he knows him.
“If it’s not him”, Olivia thought, but said nothing. Betty held out the ring for Maggie to see, but she hadn’t yet laid eyes on it.
-I know you don’t like jewelry Oli, you can lend it to me, I’m not asking you to give it to me permanently but just to give it to me, just some of the time or just for a few days,” Betty asked her.
She wasn’t much of a jewelry fan, so she didn’t see any reason to refuse him this, it wasn’t even her wedding ring so she didn’t need to keep it on her.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
-It’s okay.
-Is it okay?” cried Maggie. Have you both fallen on your faces? Olivia, it’s a piece of jewelry we gave you, you haven’t even seen it yet and you want to give it to her, but you too, Betty, do you think what you’re asking for is normal? She hasn’t even seen her gift yet and you want to take it away from her. I thought you spent the evening seducing a multi-billionaire, so I guess he’ll be able to give you all the jewelry you want. As for you, Olivia Turner, stop being manipulated, learn to be strict.
-But it’s just a piece of jewelry, Maggie,” Olivia replied in a tiny voice.
-No, it’s not just a piece of jewelry, it’s more than a piece of jewelry. You want to know why? It’s got your name engraved on it, I mean the letters of your name engraved in the little diamond medallions; the letter “T” that touches the letter “O” on the side and I think that’s Olivia Turner. Now around the ring are two words “ant malaki”.
Olivia retrieved the ring and looked at it all. It meant a lot to her even though this man had given it to her just as a gift, for her it gave her hope, the hope of seeing this man’s face one day.
-Olivia, you’re doomed, darling, and I think in the nicest possible way. I’d be really happy if someone did something like that to me. You’ll never know what that sentence means.
-So you say to me.
-With google translation, it means “you belong to me”.
She brought her hands to her mouth, not believing it at all. She belonged to a stranger, it was impossible. She saw Maggie take out a note from the box and hand it to her without reading it. That was why she liked her, because she knew how to respect others.
-I want you to keep it around your neck at all times, Olivia,” she had read.
-And this is what I was saying. This man would want everyone to know that you belong to him. Wow, I think he’s in love but shy.
Olivia didn’t think he was shy because a shy man wouldn’t make a woman scream in bed as much, but she did think he was hiding something.
