Chapter1 Wish
Antonio Kaufman was a top–notch jewelry designer. I was married to him for six years, and he never designed anything for me.
I thought it was because he didn’t like to design things for the people
around him.
Until one day, I walked into the room which he had repeatedly told me was off–limits.
The roomful of diverse jewels made of purple diamonds demonstrated Antonio’s ardent love for another woman.
Then, the woman who loved purple diamonds came back. As striking as purple diamonds, she caught all of Antonio’s attention.
At that moment, something dawned on me. It was not the room door that was closed to me. It was Antonio’s heart.
Since he’d lost his heart to someone else, there was no need for me
stay.
I drafted the divorce paper and left.
“Mr. Kaufman, have you ever designed jewels for your wife?”
“Does Ms. Parrish like purple diamonds?”
“Mr. Kaufman, you’ve never designed purple jewelry before. Is it exclusive to Ms. Parrish?”
The clerks raised many questions.

Antonio was extremely embarrassed.
I smiled silently.
I knew this was a live show a million people were watching online.
“These questions aren’t work–related. I think I don’t…”
I patted Antonio’s hand and smiled at him.
He was astonished, and confused.

I turned back to the camera and replied slowly, “Antonio indeed has never designed purple diamonds before.
“I don’t like purple diamonds.
“As to if it’s exclusive to me…”
I paused and laughed meaningfully. “I only know that someone else likes purple diamonds.”
“Grace, what are you doing? Stop!” Antonio warned me in a low voice.
As if I didn’t hear him, I only tucked the hair behind my ear.
Under Antonio’s watch, I looked at the camera and continued, “In the past six years, Antonio didn’t design anything for me.”
The clerks present were shocked to hear that,
Antonio didn’t care if this was a live show anymore. He got up, stood before me, and grabbed my chin to make me face him.
“Grace, are you unwell?”
His eyes brimmed with repressed rage. I knew he was upset.

I burst out laughing. “So, on this show, I wanna voice out my wish.”
Antonio grasped my chin tighter and tighter. It hurt. I couldn’t help wincing.
Yet I wouldn’t stop what I was doing.
“Shut it down!”
“I’m gonna divorce Antonio!”
Antonio and I spoke at the same time. He almost shouted.
His voice must have drowned mine.
He yelled at the people present, “Get out!”
In the blink of an eye, Antonio and I were left alone in the room.
“Grace, what are you up to?”

I looked at Antonio’s abyss–like eyes and said calmly, “Nothing. I was only telling the truth.”
He stared at me with a frown and questioned, “Did you have to say those things on a live show? Do you know how many people were watching online?”
He withdrew his hand and rubbed his forehead. “Grace, you might’ve just blurted it out. But people may be misled by your words and start insulting Isabel.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. Bitterness flooded my heart.
“Antonio, you’re still worried about Isabel? I just blurted it out?”
Antonio’s phone rang when he was about to retort my words.

The second he looked at his phone screen, the look in his eyes softened.
Then, I knew who the caller was.
I held back my tears to maintain my last shred of dignity.
Sure enough, after hanging up, Antonio wanted to leave immediately.
Before he did, he looked at me meaningfully. “I know things may have been stressful for you lately. Go home and have a good rest. We’ll talk later.”
Soon after Antonio left, the clerks returned to put away the devices in the
room.
