A Golden Neckpiece!

THE SINFUL EMPRESS

Chapter Twenty-Four

There is a golden necklace in the bag, it looks so royal that I wonder how I will wear it without attracting attention.

I look around to be sure that no one is watching me, I hold the piece close to my heart and I smile at no one in particular.

''You like it, Irina?''

I shake my head. ''You put it here?'' I ask astonished.

''I did, do you like it?''
