CHAPTER 46 MATERNAL LOVE

  NINA'S POV

  I slowly shut my eyes close and began to look for peace in the quiet parts of my mind, where May and her betrayal couldn't hurt me or hunt me down. That's when it hit me - a powerful idea that literally took my breath away; an idea that would change the jewelry designing world.

  I realized that true love just was not about romantic love or the promises lovers make to each other only, it was much more than that. It can be about something deeper and more meaningful, something that goes beyond how we feel, it could be about persons, not just romantic relationships shared but much more.

  I then pictured my mother's face which was surrounded by a warm light. I remembered her gentle touch on my skin, her faith in me, and how her love stayed with me even after she was gone. Her love was limitless, endured every challenge, and offered encouragement in the darkest times.
