Mending a Broken Love (Roxanne and Sebastian) novel Chapter 218

Roxanne's chest heaved with emotion. That pendant, crafted from a pure white gemstone, had been carved into a delicate representation of Libra, her zodiac sign.

Shannon had commissioned a renowned sculptor to create it after Roxanne was born. Her name and birthdate were engraved on the back.

Shannon had even taken it to a local chapel and asked a priest to bless it. It was meant to serve as her protective charm.

She remembered exactly when she lost it. It was during her freshman year, right before an annual spring meet.

She had registered for the 800-yard race. She had taken off the pendant and left it in the drawer of her dorm desk, thinking it would be safer there.

But after the race, a string of events distracted her, and it slipped her mind for nearly a week. When she finally remembered and went to retrieve it, the drawer was empty, and the pendant was gone.

Panic hit her hard, and she immediately asked her three roommates if any of them had touched her things or seen the pendant. Bianca just shrugged and told her that if something was missing, she could file a police report.

On the other hand, Rita and Cecilia mocked her with sharp words, accusing her of losing it on purpose just to frame them.

The pendant meant too much for Roxanne to let it go, so she filed a police report.

Unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras in the dorm. The best they could do was track who had entered the building, but too many students came and went. It was impossible to pinpoint anyone. Without solid evidence, the case was dropped.

Still, Roxanne had her suspicions. Rita and Cecilia had always been the prime suspects in her mind, but without proof, there was nothing she could do.

For years, she kept an eye on them, checking their social posts and belongings whenever she had the chance, always hoping to find a lead. But the pendant never turned up.

At the time, her uncanny jinxing skill had already faded. Otherwise, she could have just cursed them and confirmed whether they were the ones who stole the pendant.

She never expected that pushing them into a corner would actually make them reveal the pendant themselves.
