Mason had searched all over the other side of the street but still found no trace of Roxanne. He quickly ran back to Jensen's side. "Jensen, did you find her?"
"I did!"
Mason's eyes lit up. "Where is she?"
"Right here." Jensen lifted the ring slightly, a playful smile tugging at his lips as he looked at Mason.
The moment Mason saw the ring Jensen was holding, his pupils contracted sharply. He immediately recognized the diamond. Of course, he did—he could never be unfamiliar with True Love's Heart.
It was his great-grandmother's most treasured design. There was no way he would mistake it.
"How did this end up here?" Mason asked, his voice tight.
Jensen shrugged. "No idea. I texted Sebastian, but he hasn't replied."
Mason turned to Jack. "Excuse me, sir. How did this ring end up in your hands?"
Being a seasoned businessman, Jack instantly sensed that the two men recognized the piece. He replied calmly, "I'm sorry. It's against store policy to disclose client information."
Mason and Jensen exchanged a glance. Mason stepped forward and asked, "How much for the ring? I'll buy it."
Jack named his price. "Eighty million."
"Seventy million," Jensen bargained immediately.
Jack considered for a second and nodded. "Deal."
At that moment, Jensen understood exactly how Roxanne had felt before—he should've bargained lower. He probably could have gotten it for 60 million dollars.
With Mason's fame, it would be easy to find her.
In this hyper-connected digital age and with Mason being the number one pianist in Valoria, with over 30 million followers on Twitter, finding someone through a single post would be simple.
Under normal circumstances, Mason would have never used such a public approach. But this wasn't a normal situation.
The woman's dance in the video resonated perfectly with his music. Their connection felt deeper than just rhythm, like their souls were in harmony. He couldn't let someone like her slip away.
So, he posted the video along with his live location. The caption that went along with the video was simple. "My muse."
Mason wasn't just a world-class pianist. With his elegant charm and striking looks, he had always been the image of a modern gentleman. He had a huge fanbase, with half the people obsessed with his talent and the other half smitten with his face.
The moment the post went live, the comment section exploded.
