Chapter 440: [Bonus - ]Take care
Aphrodite’s Tear.
One of the rarest gems in the world due to the scarcity of supply. There were only a few in the world... three, to be exact. And how did Hera know? Because she owned all those three through foul means.
People called it her obsession and her fondness for sparkly things. Owning all these gems granted Hera unimaginable control over the business. However, unlike what most people thought, she didn’t treasure them as much as one would expect, considering what she went through collecting them. After all, she simply collected them because Felice, her mother, set her eyes on this gem and died.
Hera simply obsessed over them because she wanted to give them to Felice. Her mother might’ve died, but even so, Hera never stopped showing the affection and respect she had for her mother. Hearing Dominic set his eyes on the gem that killed Felice, she couldn’t help but recall the bitter past.
"I appreciate it, Dom." Heaven smiled warmly as she cupped his lean cheeks, staring at him with deep affection. "But you didn’t have to get me the rarest gem or anything like that to show how much you value me. You... being with me is enough. Your actions already make me the most beautiful, valued, and loved. If only you know my heart."
She brushed his cheek with her thumb. "However, I don’t think the current situation has anything to do with your decisions."
Her eyelids drooped a little, considering his situation. Although he made it quite vague, she already knew what he meant by all of that. Moreover, she was updated about the high amount of death threats Dominic was receiving recently. Those people she dealt with in the shadows weren’t worthy of attention, and thus, Dominic wasn’t worried.
However, the people she knew who were after him were what truly made her heart restless. Those people would come to Dominic whether he took an interest in this venture or took a different path.
"Those people that are now showing up in front of you were meant to be in your life for the time being, whatever you decide. So, I think you should continue," she remarked after a moment of silence, lifting her eyes to hold his gaze. "Manica is a bad and dangerous place to go, but I heard Noyan is a good place to start."
