Goodbye Dear Exes, I have moved on

After hanging up, I began searching for the flight and immediately booked one to visit my mother. I wanted to see her as soon as possible. Once I was done, my phone rang. It was a call from my father's beta, Uncle Mathew. I received the call and greeted him.

“Janette, yesterday I forgot to tell you something. Before dying your father had designed a beautiful piece of jwellery. He said it was the best design of his career. He said he would gift it to you on your wedding.” He paused for a while before adding, “He gave that pendant called Diamond Jade to me to keep it safe and the next day he died. It’s very expensive. I thought a lot about it and I think it can be the biggest gift for your upcoming birthday, the last piece of your father design.”

“Thank you so much Uncle Mathew for telling me this. I’ll keep his last design till my last breath.” I said with hoarse voice.

“I have sent the pendant at your home with my son. He may reach your home anytime soon.” Uncle Mathew said.

A few minutes later, Darek and Mike brought Emily with them. They busied themselves in taking care of her. One was feeding her with his own hands while the other was applying medicine on her wounds. I glanced them from upstairs and then go back to my room. I didn't want to part of this beautiful scenery. I was just waiting for Uncle Mathew’s son to see my father's last design. I heard the sound of door bell and immediately came out of my room. While walking downstairs I saw Emily collecting the jwellery from Uncle Mathew’s son. She didn't bother herself in asking for my permission and immediately opened the jwellery box. When her gaze fell on the beautiful pendant, she wanted to try it on.

“How beautiful this is! I want to see how it will look on me…” she exclaimed, her eyes filled with greed.

“Don't even think about touching it.” I yelled from behind before walking up to her. She had already snatched my two childhood friends from me who were so close to my heart. Now seeing her having ulterior motives towards my father's last gift to me, I couldn't hold myself anymore.

“Why are you being so angry, Janette? I just want to try it once. It's not like I'm taking it for real.” She pouted, still holding the jwellery box tightly.

“You don't deserve that.” I said in a cold voice while raising my hands to take the jewellery box from her hand. But, she was too stubborn. She held it tightly, not letting me take it.

“Leave it, Emily.” I struggled.

“No, I'm gonna try it first.” She replied rudely while snatching the jewellery box. In result, the pendant fell off the floor and broke down into two pieces. Tears were formed in my eyes while seeing the pendant lying on the floor. I pursed my lips as I looked up at Emily with a pair of furious eyes. Meanwhile, she began sobbing while apologizing to me, “I’m sorry, Janette. I-I was just looking at it. Why did you push me this way? You know I was just discharged from the hospital and my wounds are still fresh. If I knew you would be this angry, I hadn't touched the jwellery box at first place.”

I was surprised to see her reaction. A few minutes ago, she was being mean to me and now suddenly she turned into this. However, hearing Darek’s voice from behind I understood everything.

“Why are you being so mean to her, Janette?” Darek said while coming between me and her.
