The morning sun cast golden rays across the breakfast table as Hector's voice shattered the peaceful silence. "T-That expensive?" he stammered, his eyes wide as saucers, staring at the brocade box as if it might bite him.
Even Betty and Adeline, women who had seen their fair share of luxury in their lifetimes, were visibly taken aback. The weight of the moment hung heavy in the air. Betty, ever the composed matriarch, turned to Celeste with a knowing look. "Cel, come take a look."
But Celeste had already heard everything. In fact, from the very first moment her fingers had touched that box, she'd known something extraordinary lay within. The weight, the texture, the subtle craftsmanship of the container itself — all of it whispered of opulence. Yet even her well-honed instincts hadn't prepared her for this.
Just as her aunt had observed, the red diamond Trevor had gifted her was far more brilliant, far more pure than the one she had auctioned off before. Its fire seemed to dance with an inner light, catching the morning rays and scattering them into a thousand crimson sparks. And that estimated value of two billion? Oh, that was likely a very conservative figure indeed.
The look on Celeste's face said it all — she hadn't expected Trevor to give her something so extravagantly precious either. The question hung in the air, unspoken yet loud: why would a man on the verge of divorce bestow such a treasure upon his soon-to-be-ex-wife?
Hector furrowed his brow, his practical nature surfacing. "So, what now? Return it?" After all, she and Trevor were about to get divorced. A gift like this — it seemed almost mocking in its extravagance.
But Betty, with the wisdom of a woman who had navigated many of life's treacherous waters, closed the brocade box with a decisive snap. "Keep it," she said firmly, her voice leaving no room for argument. "Just think of it as something for Jo. When she grows up, pass it to her. If you refuse it now, it'll only end up benefiting someone else."
That "someone else," of course, needed no clarification. Wynn. The woman who seemed perpetually waiting in the wings, ready to claim whatever Celeste was willing to cast aside.
Celeste nodded slowly, finding herself in complete agreement with her aunt's reasoning. Though the gift's value had shocked her, she remained remarkably calm on the surface. She neither knew nor cared why Trevor would give her something so costly. Their marriage was ending — the reasons behind his unexpected generosity were simply not her concern anymore.
After finishing her pancakes with practiced composure, Celeste ascended the stairs to her room. Without ceremony, without a second glance, she placed the box casually on her cabinet as if it were nothing more than a piece of costume jewelry. Then she turned and left for work, the multi-billion-dollar diamond already forgotten.

Across town, the office was already buzzing with quiet anticipation. Matthias, naturally, had remembered her birthday. The moment Celeste arrived, she was greeted by a stunning arrangement of flowers and a beautifully wrapped gift. Her colleagues gathered around as she made a wish, the flickering candlelight reflecting in her eyes before she blew it out with a gentle breath.
The cake was cut and distributed, laughter and chatter filling the air as the office celebrated their beloved Ms. Rodriguez. Matthias took the first slice from her hand, a deeply satisfied smile curving his lips — as if receiving that piece of cake from her was the greatest prize he could imagine.
But beneath the cheerful facade, a question had been gnawing at him for days. Amid the laughter and idle conversation, he lowered his voice until only she could hear. "Trevor didn't contact you today... to finalize the divorce, did he?"
The worry in his eyes was unmistakable. He'd been quietly tormented by the thought for days but had never dared to voice it. Now, seeing that Celeste had come to the office early in the morning, clearly not having met with Trevor, he finally allowed himself to relax.
"No." Her tone was perfectly calm, revealing nothing.
She didn't mention the gift. Not a word about the red diamond, not a hint about the astronomical value that now sat casually on her bedroom cabinet. Some secrets were better kept close to the chest.

The celebration wound down, and the staff began cleaning up. But just as the last crumbs were being swept away, the receptionist appeared in the doorway, holding a magnificent bouquet. "The delivery's for you, Ms. Rodriguez."
Red roses. Dozens upon dozens of them, their velvet petals a deep, passionate crimson.
Celeste accepted the bouquet and glanced at the little card tucked among the blooms. "Cel, happy birthday, from Caleb."
And wouldn't you know it — Kieran happened to be walking by at that very moment. He naturally caught sight of the card, and his warm smile faded just a little. The air around him seemed to cool by several degrees.

As the small celebration concluded and staff slowly returned to their desks, an amusing parade began. Within the next ten minutes, Celeste received three more bouquets, each more beautiful than the last.
The first was from Lottie — sweet, thoughtful Lottie, whose friendship had become such a cornerstone of Celeste's life.
The second was from Kieran. Also roses, though the card carried no name he wanted publicly associated. Since Celeste wasn't officially divorced yet, Kieran didn't want to cause unnecessary gossip by handing them over personally. Even though he was right there in the office, he had someone else deliver the bouquet on his behalf. How romantic, yet how cautious! He had actually planned to give her another gift too — something more personal, more meaningful. But knowing how careful and guarded Celeste could be, he decided against it, afraid that if he pushed too hard, she might not even accept the flowers in the first place.
And the third bouquet? It was from Beck.
Three bouquets within ten minutes, each from a different man orbiting Celeste's life. The office staff exchanged meaningful glances, their whispers filled with intrigue. Who was this woman who commanded such attention? What was the story behind all these admirers?
And somewhere, in a house that no longer felt like home, a brocade box containing a two-billion-dollar diamond sat forgotten on a cabinet — perhaps the most stunning declaration of all.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a fascinating chapter! The contrast between Trevor's astronomical gift and Celeste's complete indifference toward it is simply deliciously ironic. Here's a man who seems to be trying to buy her attention when it's far too late, while other men — Matthias, Kieran, Caleb, Beck — are literally lining up with flowers to show their affection. Celeste's calm, almost dismissive handling of the red diamond shows incredible character growth. She's no longer swayed by grand gestures or material wealth.
The subtle tension between Matthias's relief and Kieran's jealousy was beautifully written. And Betty's wise advice about keeping the diamond for Jo shows that even in the midst of romantic chaos, family bonds remain paramount. This chapter masterfully sets up multiple romantic storylines while keeping the central question — what will happen with the divorce? — simmering beneath the surface.
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
With the birthday celebrations behind her, I predict the next chapter will force Celeste to confront the growing competition between her suitors. Trevor's unexpected gift suggests he might be having second thoughts about the divorce — and when he learns about the parade of flowers from Caleb, Kieran, and Beck, his reaction could be explosive. Will Trevor finally realize what he's about to lose? And with Wynn still lurking in the shadows, how will she react when she learns about the two-billion-dollar diamond Trevor gifted to his "soon-to-be-ex-wife"? Prepare for fireworks!
