The Heir

chapter 23

MAXIMILIAN went to a jewelry store in town after dropping his wife at the office. He decided to buy her a necklace as a gift for their wedding anniversary. And because he wanted to give her the best, he chose the most expensive brand in town.

He went inside the store and looked for a design. All of them look pretty, but there was this particular necklace that stands out. It was a gold one with a crescent moon pendant with a diamond that sits on the moon, representing a star. Maximilian was sure that his wife would look gorgeous on that.

“Hey, you!” He turned in the direction of the voice. “Do not lean on the glass and take your hands off it,” said the sales assistant who approached him.

“Whoa, easy!” He put his hands up and made a few steps backward.

The sales assistant gave her a once-over and sneered. “You should leave.”

Maximilian’s lip twitched. There go the judging looks of everyone inside the jewelry store and the humiliation from the sales assistant. It seemed like it will always be a part of his life.

“Oh, I am here to buy a necklace—”

“Our necklaces here cost millions of dollars. I bet…” The sales assistant looked at him again from head to toe. “You cannot afford a twenty-million-dollar necklace.”

He heard whispers, which he doubted so because it seemed like the onlookers intentionally made it loud so he could hear them.
