Hertha's big, round eyes were locked on Alaric as she suddenly remembered something. "Wait, isn't W Thalassa? When she picked that stage name, I was her sounding board." Alaric, with a grin that was all too eager to please, said, "Right, it hitlater too. That Ruby said your designs aren't worth as much as Thalassa's..." "Ah, well, Thalassa's the talk of the town now, a designer in high demand. I can't compare to her, can I? And just because of that, you went and cracked someone's head open?" The revelation that her work was deemed less valuable than Thalassa's initially cooled Hertha's temper and forced her to face reality.

Thalassa was her closest friend, the one she had dragged into the jewelry business. Now, Thalassa's fwas skyrocketing, her creations were like gold dust.

Everyone wanted a piece of her magic but could hardly get it.

That Ruby, having got her hands on one of Thalassa's phone charms, must have treasured it like a rare gem. But to have it ruined by Alaric in a heartbeat, no wonder she was less than thrilled.

A simple rebuttal led to a cracked skull - talk about being unjustly wronged.

Alaric nodded, "Exactly, I was so heated. In my eyes, Hertha, your designs are the best, the most valuable. When someone belittled your work, of course, I got mad. I can't stand anyone talking down about you." Seizing the moment, Alaric made his feelings clear, showing just how much he valued Hertha.

Her heart fluttered at his words, but just as she was about to lose herself in the moment, skepticism crept into her gaze. "Are you making up stories again to cheerup? Alaric, is this your usual trick with women?" Alaric, a seasoned player in the gof love, could easily sweep Hertha off her feet with his sweet nothings. She almost fell for his tall tales, but a wave of sarcasm snapped her back to reality.

Three years ago, blinded by his good looks and her own infatuation, she had pursued him recklessly, losing herself and ending up with two kids before marriage.

It was the biggest blunder of her otherwise proud life.

She couldn't fall for Alaric's ways again.

Annoyed, Hertha stood up to leave.

In a panic, Alaric grabbed her hand, pleading, "Hertha, wait, don't go. I wasn't just trying to make you happy, I meant every word. Look at the video on my phone, I've been holding it up for you." Quickly, he brought his phone in front of Hertha.

"Video or it didn't happen. I wouldn't lie," he said, playing the clip.

The video showed a hospital room, the camera focusing on a woman's face - Ruby.

With her head wrapped in bandages and an IV in her arm, it was clear she was a patient.

Looking pitiful Ruby addressed the camera, "I accepted Mr. Falconer's replacement charm. The craftsmanship and materials are et

nearly identical, and so is their value. I deeply apologize for saying Mrm Fatconer scharm wasn't as valuable En as mine. I'm sorry!" "And?" Alaric's serious voice could be heard in the video.

Ruby, visibly shaken and reluctant, continued, "It was because I said Mr.

Falconer's charm wasn't as valuable that he pushedin frustration. En accidentally hit my head on the coffee table, breaking my skutt. It was an accident, and Mr. Falconer wasn't to blame." "Even though it was an accident, I can't stand seeing someone hurt because of me. I've paid my medical bills. In the future, it's best if you

steer clear of me, better yet if we don't meet again." This was followed by Alaric's voice in the video. X
