When Lily got engaged, she was over the moon—until her fiancé mentioned he couldn’t find her late mother’s heirloom ring. Lily had always been promised that emerald ring, a family treasure passed down through generations. But when she visited her stepfather Carl to retrieve it, her heart sank. He casually told her he had given it to his daughter Vanessa, who had just gotten engaged.
“We’re all one family,” he said, brushing off Lily’s pain. Lily was devastated. That ring wasn’t just jewelry—it was a piece of her mother, something sacred and irreplaceable. Her grief turned to fury when she saw Vanessa flaunting the ring on social media, proudly calling herself the “#EmeraldQueen.” Betrayed and heartbroken, Lily turned to the one person she knew would understand: her no-nonsense Grandma Margaret.
