After a painful breakup, Melissa knew it was time to move forward. One of the last ties to her ex was a stunning ring he had given her — once cherished, now just a reminder of heartache.
Wanting a fresh start, she stepped into a well-known jewelry shop, hoping to sell it. But as soon as the jeweler examined the ring, his expression changed.
His eyes widened in disbelief, his fingers tightening around the delicate band. Something was very wrong.
The Mysterious Jeweler
The man behind the counter, Mr. Harris, studied the ring with intense focus. His reaction was immediate – his breath hitched, and his hands trembled slightly as he inspected it under the shop’s bright lights.

Without another word, he looked up at Melissa, his face unreadable. “Wait here. I’ll be right back,” he said, his voice brisk.
Then, clutching the ring tightly, he disappeared into a back room. Melissa stood there, confused, a strange sense of unease creeping over her.
