"Stella has it?"Rico asked, his brows hiking in shocked. I nodded agreeing.

 for some certain reasons unknown to me, I felt reluctant to tell them simply that it was with Stella. Even though, back that day, Stella suggested that we sell it. She came up with a new idea the second day. She informed me of the possibly that the boss of the gongs might be interested in the diamonds and as a result of that, attempt to find us.

So, she made a deal with me, promising that she would hold the diamond in her care and if trouble were to come, I would not be counted among.

Unfortunately, for my friends and I, I was their first target.
