The Beautiful Ones (Arabesque)
“It’s beautiful.” Ophelia pressed a hand against her mouth as she stared at the magnificent blue diamond.
“I’m glad you like it.” Jonas puffed out his chest while watching his fiancée’s eyes gloss with fresh tears. He was glad he chose to present her with the ring over breakfast. The sooner they were able to put last night behind them, the better. “Trust me. The diamond pales in comparison to you.”
