She thought she was in love. But all he left behind… was a ring.

When Michael vanished with Emily’s money and jewelry, she was shattered. Even worse, two thugs came knocking, demanding $50,000 he owed. Desperate, she tried pawning the last ring he’d given her—only for the jeweler to freeze when he saw the engraving: “For Jessica, the love of my life.”

Turns out, the ring wasn’t for Emily at all. Michael was a con artist, married to a woman who helped him launder stolen jewelry. Emily was just his latest victim. But she wasn’t about to stay that way.

With the help of the jeweler and a determined detective, Emily agreed to a sting. The thugs were caught red-handed, and their arrest led to Michael and his wife’s downfall. The stolen goods were recovered. Justice, finally, was served.

Emily was left with nothing… except a chance.

She started fresh, working at the very shop where her nightmare ended. Six months later, she held in her hands a gold ring of her own design—engraved with the words: “Everything has a new beginning.”

And for the first time in a long time, she believed it.
