It was a diamond tiara. It was antique, yet the stunning array of diamonds still glimmered under the light, portraying an ethereal glow which rendered the nearby guests breathless.

Palpable tension hung in the air after Mia refused to accept the gift. ys Striding up to Mia, Eva linked arms with her and said, ""Mia, you did the right thing. We can't accept a gift of such priceless value, but we appreciate your effort, Mr. Barrett. You can still be friends after you've separated, can't you?"
