Chapter 79

Pandora's fingers trembled slightly as she delicately fastened the clasp of the emerald necklace around her neck. The jewels glinted in the soft light of the closet, casting a mesmerizing glow against her skin. She couldn't help but admire her reflection in the mirror, the emerald dress accentuating her curves and enhancing her natural beauty.

Her moment of reverie was interrupted by the sound of Antonio's footsteps approaching. She turned to face him, a curious expression in her eyes as he entered the room carrying a box adorned with a vibrant red bow.

"Where's Jose?" Pandora inquired, her voice tinged with anticipation as she eyed the box in Antonio's hands.

Antonio's lips curled into a sly smile as he set the box down on the dresser. "He's waiting for you in the dining room," he replied, his tone cryptic.

Pandora's curiosity piqued as she reached for the box, her fingers trembling with excitement. "What's this?" she asked, her eyes alight with curiosity.
