"Excellent, in that case, let's enjoy the food," Brandon declared as more of his bodyguards entered to take the painting out of the house.

Everyone then sat down to enjoy the burgers and fries,

"By the way, Deborah, what a show that was at your ex-father-in-law's party," Brandon said, amused as he ate a fry. "And I suppose you're not going to sell me that exclusive bracelet you were given, right?" "That's right, I'm not selling it because it's a special gift from my little brother."

"Well, if you change your mind, let me know, and I'll give you a very generous amount for that bracelet."

"I doubt that will happen, but thanks, I'll keep it in mind."

"Great, and I'll definitely look into buying the place from the owners of that restaurant because I'm getting addicted to this flavor... or maybe I'll ask them to sell me the recipe," he said, amused and thoughtful. *Enough already! Please, just give us the information we asked for," Nicholas said, slamming his hands on the table, eager to know the location of his beloved's body.

He was startled when his actions caused several men to appear around the table, pointing their weapons

at him.

"Apparently, you're not good at negotiating, Mr. Foster Brandon commented, wiping his mouth with a napkin while signaling for his guards to put their weapons away and return to their positions. "Nicholas, please.

"Relax, Jayden, I'm not upset. I admit I'm being difficult and annoying on purpose," Brandon said, taking a sip from his glass.

"What's going on?" Deborah asked, confused as she noticed the tense looks exchanged between her father and her partner.

"Hey Deborah, let me ask you something. As a woman, do you like jewelry?"

"What's with that question?" Jayden asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, yes, I like it, but... why are you asking?"

"And tell me, what would you be willing to do to get it?

"What?" The question sounded so serious that it made Deborah a bit scared to answer.

"What kind of question is that?" Nicholas interrogated

"Calm down, it's not anything bad. I'm asking because some people will do anything to get jewelry: they buy it, create it, search for it, manufacture it, and in extreme cases, they kill for it." "Well... I've heard of people killing for family heirloom jewelry when there's an inheritance, but what does that have to do with what we asked for?" Nicholas inquired.

"Anyway, next question: have you heard of LONITE diamonds?"

"What's that?" Deborah asked.

Jayden turned pale for a moment, knowing the answer. He looked at Brandon with fear and concern. "Wait

is it what I think it means?"

"What's wrong, Jayden?" Nicholas asked, alarmed by Jayden's pallor.

"What kind of diamonds are they?" Deborah asked.

"It involves a complex and expensive process in which human ashes are used to create diamonds."

"Human ashes..." Deborah repeated, confused.

"What?!" Nicholas shouted, horrified as he realized what Brandon was implying. "No! Tell me it's a lie! It can't be... You're telling me that he..." Nicholas couldn't say more as tears of frustration began to fall from his eyes "Dad, what's happening?" Deborah asked, a bit frightened as she didn't understand the aggressive

reaction

"Deborah, let me ask you something. Do you recognize these pieces of jewelry?" Brandon asked, two photographs on the table.

One photo showed Frederick sitting thoughtfully in his home office, wearing a white gold ring with a yellow diamond in the center. The other photo was of Vanessa, who was wearing a pair of small yellow diamond earrings. Nicholas examined the photos closely, feeling a surge of rage building up inside him. Something inside him urged him to kill Frederick and that woman with his own hands and take those diamonds.

Jayden was also silent, feeling an overwhelming urge to vomit.

"Yes... those are their favorite jewels, they are the only ones they never take off... but... what do those pieces of jewelry have to do with LONITE diamonds?" Deborah asked, still not fully comprehending the direction of the conversation. "Well, those yellow diamonds are very special because they're made from your mother's remains."
