Chapter 4

[Lia, the custom engagement ring I commissioned from Chaumet just arrived at their boutique. Would you like to see it?]

Chaumet, the prestigious Parisian jeweler favored by European aristocracy.

She’d only agreed to the arranged marriage days ago, yet the ring was already here?

Had it been commissioned in advance?

Thalia replied with a simple “Sure.”

At the Chaumet boutique, the specialist, with the polished grace characteristic of the Parisian house, presented the ring.

“Miss Winters, this is the ring Mr. Blackwood specially commissioned for you.”

Thalia examined the exquisite piece. A rare five–carat blue diamond, surrounded by a halo of pink and

white diamonds, sparkled brilliantly under the boutique lights. It was breathtaking.

“We’ve engraved your initials inside the band, as requested.”

Thalia looked closely-“AB TW” was delicately inscribed within.

The thought and care put into the design was evident.

The ring fit perfectly on her finger.

“It’s stunning,” the specialist said sincerely.

Just then, Drake’s voice cut through the moment.

“Thalia? What are you doing here?”

She turned with a frown.

Drake instantly dropped Sienna’s hand.

A flash of coldness crossed Sienna’s eyes before her expression smoothed.
