A grudging acceptance cfrom Collin. “Alright, you win. But listen closely.” He narrowed his eyes, making

On the day of Kylee's birthday, the Century Hotel looked like something out of a dream, every inch draped in
luxury.
Rows of champagne flutes glittered, stacked into a shimmering wall. Lilies imported from overseas spilled across
the hall, while massive screens looped through radiant images of Kylee.
Invitations had gone out only to the elite. No ordinary guests filled this ballroom. There were power players—
politicians, executives, award-winning stars, and the best-known socialites. The place buzzed with the energy of
the upper crust. Making her entrance in a dazzling red gown, Kylee stole every glance in the room. Admiring
socialites clustered around her, their compliments tumbling over one another.
Elegantly lifting her champagne flute, Kylee acknowledged the chorus of compliments around her. “Thank you.

A cheerful call broke the silence. “Kylee!” The voice practically danced, warm and eager.
Turning around, she spotted her cousin Cynthia.
“Happy birthday, Kylee!” Cynthia beamed and extended a small jewelry box, both hands outstretched. “I picked
out something special just for you.”
“Thank you, Cynthia. Would it be alright if | take a look now?” Kylee accepted the box, curiosity lighting up her
face.
Cynthia nodded, her answer quick. “Go ahead, open it.”

Without waiting, Kylee untied the ribbon and opened the box right there. As the lid coff, a dazzling gold
bracelet, glittering with diamonds, shimmered in the light.
She picked up the bracelet, and her delight grew, her entire face brightening as she admired the gift.
Pretending to hesitate, she looked up and said, “It must have cost a fortune, didn’t it?”
Cynthia brushed aside her concern with a small wave. “Forget about the price. All that matters is that you like
