Warrior 132
RYN
As soon as we parked in, Sadie and I decided it was best if her parents didn't know what happened. After she checked me and made sure my bruises were gone, we both came down from the car and went into the house.
We found Sadie's Mom already dressed to the nines in a black glitering evening gown, with arm gloves that reached her elbows and a diamond necklace so big, it covered her entire neck.
Sadie went to find her Dad in his lab and I waited behind, gaping at her mother's neck in awe. Her necklace had about half a dozen glittering ruby diamonds on it. I could only imagine the cost.
A necklace like that could easily retire me for the rest of my life,
She caught my stare, and the air between us turned awkward. She fully turned to me, looking at me from the tip of her nose. "You wish you had something like this, don't you?"
I nodded absentmindedly, my face heating up in embarassment "You look beautiful, Mrs. Cresswell.
She simply smiled in reply but there was something smug about it, like she was rubbing her wealth in my face.
I wondered why.
Shortly after, Sadie came in. "My Dad is working on it. Let's change and get ready." She said, grabbing my hand and we went up
the stairs.
"That reminds me, Ryn." Mrs Cresswell called and I stopped and turned. "A package came for you today. It's in your room."
My brows drew together, wondering who sent me a package. Eager and excited, I went up the stairs with Sadie. Going in, I found a black box sitting on my bed with a black ribbon on it. I was tempted to open it but since Sadie and I were running out of time, I decided to get dressed first before opening it.
Sixteen minutes later, I was freshly showered, dry-haired and dressed. I stood in front of my vanity, wearing the earrings Sadie got me. They were simplewhite pearls that I loved.

I stared at myself in the mirror, proud of how far I'd come. Who knew months later, I'd go from wearing tattered handouts to wearing designers. The door opened and Sadie walked in, looking like a knockout in a one shoulder black dress that flowed to her ankles and lips so red, they accentuated the ginger in her.
Her hair was done and fully pinned to one side as she rummaged through her bag muttering about hoping she brought all the tools she needed for the makeup.
Turns out she did and by the time she was done with me, and I looked in the mirror,
I could barely recognize myself. I knew I was a pretty girl but Sadie took the word, 'pretty' and gave it a dark feminine edge. With my hair packed up and having soft curls dangling, I looked like I deserved to stand among the Elite. "Thank you." I gushed.
"Don't mention." She said, looking over at the package. "I've been dying to see what's inside."
"Me too." I laughed and we both went to my bed to check it out.
"Wait." Sadie stopped me, as I reached for the box. "We have to be careful. What if it was one of these Billie fans that sent something terrible to you?"
I saw reason in what she said and sighed. "Whatever it is, I'm not going to let it spoil my night."
With a nod, I loosened the bpw and slid open the cover slowly.
Inside the box, was another box with the brand name, VIVARA LUXE written on it and on top of it was a card,
Sadie gasped.
"What?" I asked, reaching for the card.
"It's Vivara Luxe." She whispered and I stared at her, still not understanding what the fuss was about.
"Okay." Sadie slid her hair behind her car, looking serious. "Vivara Luxe is one of the most exclusive jewellry brands in the world. When I say exclusive, I mean my mother has been on their waitlist for two years now. They don't make jewellry for just anybody." I frowned. "So why am I getting a gift from them?"
Her eyes landed on the card and I turned it around to see a neatly typed note on it.
"You are a star, and I want you to shine. Please, wear this to the event. It'd really delight me."
I looked at Sadie who began to smile. "Seems like you've got a secret admirer."
A small smile crossed my lips as I wondered who sent them. Could it be Theon? No. He's under the spell of that witch. Then who could it be?
"Open it! Open it!" Sadie urged, her glee getting me excited.
Slowly, I loosened the ribbon of this box too, and opened the cover.
I think Sadie and I gasped at the same time. It was a set of a diamond necklace and a set of matching earrings. It was the most beautiful jewellry set I had ever seen and it glittered like stars in the sky. I looked at my friend and she looked like she was going to have a stroke.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah." She blinked profusely, not taking her eyes off the item.
"So, what's wrong?"
She finally looked at me like I was mad. "What's wrong? This jewellry set is probably nothing less than three hundred carats in precious stones. Whoever gave you this really, really likes you. This kind of necklace is something royalty wears." She shook her head, looking at me in awe and disbelief. "You're such a lucky girl and the only thing wrong about this is the fact that you're not wearing them yet."
"OH." I blinked in surprise and turned around, taking off my pendant. The moment she wore the necklace around my neck, my wolf came to the surface. Like she had been awakened from a deep slumber. She stirred and stretched and I could tell she was really pleased with the jewellry.
I smiled to myself, as I switched my earrings, not really understanding all that speak about carats but knowing this diamond set was really expensive and most importantly, that I was worth it.
So who sent it?
Miro? No. We are not there yet. I don't know any other person who likes me.
I turned to the mirror and all I could do was gasp.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
I really am a lucky girl.
