Linsey froze for a heartbeat, her fingers instinctively grazing her neck, her eyes widening slightly in surprise. It was uncanny how Collin had noticed such a detail.

"This necklace is worth so much. I couldn't shake the nervous feeling whenever I had it on outside, so I took it off the second I got home," she murmured, her voice a low, uneasy whisper.

It was more than just the fear of loss that troubled her. The gemstone at the heart of the necklace was a masterpiece of cut and clarity, its luster barely contained even beneath layers of clothing.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she opted to keep it out of sight.

Collin's gaze lingered a moment longer before he pulled it back, a subtle relief washing over him. He had harbored concerns that she disliked the gift. Knowing this wasn't the case, he relaxed.

"It's not a big deal, and it complements you beautifully. There's really no need to be so cautious," he noted with a

Linsey's heart skipped. This assurance from Collin made it even clearer that the necklace was not the billion-dollar gemstone piece auctioned last night. After all, how could he speak so nonchalantly about something so immensely valuable, especially when he was still staggering under a mountain of $100 million in debt? Yet, she couldn't deny the necklace's worth and her desire to cherish it properly.
