Amanda’s POV:

“Who is it?” I called out without thinking.

Before I finished the sentence, Samson pushed open the door and stepped inside.

“Samson? What’s wrong?” I stood up in surprise, having no idea what he wanted at this hour.

He was holding a velvet jewelry box, walking over at a steady pace. He held it out to me. “Here, this is for you.”

I looked at him, confused, and took the box from his hands. “What is it?”

“Your Christmas gift.” His voice was noticeably softer than usual, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at me.

For a moment, I just stared, then, hardly daring to believe it, lowered my head and gently opened the box.

The second I saw what was inside, I froze, stunned.

“This…” I started to ask something, but the words caught in my throat.

“That’s a blood gemstone we found at the gemstone market. I had our company designer make it into a bracelet.” Samson spoke from beside me, his voice calm as ever, yet carrying a quiet confidence that left no doubt. “I thought it turned out well and might make a lovely gift.”

Of course I knew all about this gemstone.

I’d always assumed he’d use it for business. It was worth a lot of money, after all.

I never imagined he’d have it made into a bracelet, much less give it to me.

I ran my fingers lightly across the bracelet’s cold, smooth surface. Then, I looked up at him, puzzled. “Why give this to me?”

“It suits you. Just take it.” Samson glanced away, his tone flat again, and before I could say anything else, he turned to leave.

I hurried to call out, “Thank you!”

He paused for a split second. Without turning around, he answered quietly, “Mm,” and then

The room was quiet again. It was just me and the blood gemstone bracelet on the table.

I picked it up. The gemstone felt warm and smooth in my hand. Looking at this expensive gift, I couldn’t help but smile a little.

Samson, are you starting to have feelings for me, too?

The thought popped up and I quickly shook my head, my smile fading.

No way. He’s only doing all this for Hugh. If it weren’t for Hugh’s last wishes, he wouldn’t even be engaged to me, let alone give me something this valuable.

I knew better than to think otherwise. I didn’t have great looks or a prominent family background. None of this was about me-it was all for Hugh’s sake.

I

put the bracelet carefully back in the box and tucked it away in the deepest corner of my suitcase. The lingering warmth of the gemstone was still on my fingertips, but my heart felt strangely heavy.

When I went back to training camp, I couldn’t focus at all.

I sat with my pen in hand, staring at my empty workbook. All I could think about was Samson giving me the bracelet last night.

Emily noticed right away that something was off. She came over and gave my shoulder a gentle pat. “Amanda, what’s on your mind? You’re totally spaced out.”

I snapped out of it and realized my workbook was still blank. My cheeks got hot as I mumbled, “It’s nothing, I just zoned out a little.”

Emily didn’t buy it. She leaned in, lowered her voice, and whispered, “I heard you’re getting engaged to Samson, the heir of the Ortegas. Is it true?”

The mention of the engagement caught me off guard. I looked up and met her earnest gaze, surprised. “How did you know?”
