    You people are so mean to C. What did she do to you? It's so sad that her priceless Sandoval ring got stolen. And she can't sell it anyway, wouldn't the Sandovals just want it back?

    why would they buy it back? they own it. they have lawyers in the family right? they should just sue her to give it back.

    I can confirm that Chrysalis is trying to sell the ring. It was never stolen. She met Elizabeth "by chance" at a party in Singapore. And now they're best friends and last night at AR she gave C a ring that looks exactly like the Sandoval ring.

    gad! is c returning a fake to the sandoval family? she 's so cheeeeap!

    No one said she was returning anything to the Sandovals. C-bitch probably selling 2 of the same ring! Double the drugs!

JANE
     
    For a good, long minute, Jane forgot a lot of things.
    She forgot where she was. She had drifted off into a nap for a second and woke up wondering if she was still in Queens, on her aunt 's couch. No—Vancouver at her cousin's? No. Manila. Right. This was happening.
    And then she took a deep breath and with it more sense memories came back, specifically last night, and this guy, who was obviously not a student of whatever that degree was, couldn 't have accomplished half the things he said he had. But it didn't seem to matter to him, specifics, and she appreciated that. She wasn't going to be particular about things she couldn't provide herself.
    Everyone fell in love while on the job, she knew that, but she had never actually lied all the way through. Much less with someone who seemed to enjoy it, or at the very least tolerated it. But what kind of future could they have together though, if they actually had to drop the act? Jane wasn 't all that interesting, and she suspected neither was he.
    Then she realized why she shouldn 't be doing this. It was a shame to have someone learn exactly how to make her pant, and tingle, and scream, and in turn discover how to make him insane with a touch, a squeeze, a scratch—and then never have it happen again. What a waste of precious knowledge.
    Her clutch was on top of the bedside table and it inched slightly away from her, phone buzzing. There was a message from Margaux.
    Balyena wants to meet tonight. I've told C.
    Jane almost giggle d. The code for the buyer was accurate and yet rude, because it was never proper to refer to someone as a whale, in any language. Not that they were doing strictly proper things. In any case, this could all end tonight, if
