📗 THE CAMEO BROOCH (The Secrets of Singleton) - Book 2
AUTHOR- Julie Day
PUBLISHER- Julie Day (13 July 2015)
RATING- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Archie, a proprietor of the local antique shop, found his life taking an unexpected turn when his aunt bestowed upon him a precious family heirloom—a magnificent cameo brooch. Little did he know that this seemingly ordinary accessory held extraordinary powers. As his aunt divulged its magical nature, peculiar events began to unfold around Archie.
Eager to please and driven by his entrepreneurial spirit, Archie's demeanor underwent a curious transformation whenever the brooch graced his shop's display. Whenever the enchanting Gabrielle, the woman who captured his heart, paid a visit, Archie's generosity towards his customers knew no bounds. Yet, it seemed fate had a whimsical twist in store for him. Customers who purchased the brooch would return it the following day, disturbed by its unsettling screeching whenever they touched it. In response, Archie would assuage their dissatisfaction by offering a complimentary gift, hoping to maintain their loyalty.
Curiously, when Archie found himself separated from the brooch, a series of unusual incidents occurred. His trusty van refused to start, compelling him to traverse the park on foot. Within its confines, gusts of wind would materialize, swirling leaves exclusively around him, as if orchestrated by an unseen force.
One fateful day, Archie encountered the apparition of a lady, ethereal and haunting. It didn't take long for him to realize that she was intricately tied to the brooch and its mystical influence. Seeking answers, Archie sought the wisdom of his aunt, who revealed the lady's identity as his great-great aunt Beatrice, the original custodian of the brooch, and the origins of its extraordinary powers. Moreover, he discovered that his descendant, guided by destiny, desired him to bestow the brooch upon Gaby.
With the brooch's peculiar pattern continuing, Archie hoped that a third dissatisfied customer would provide the opportunity he sought. Anxious to fulfill his destined role, he anticipated the chance to present the brooch to Gaby, the woman who had previously admired its elegance. Filled with a surge of hope, Archie sensed that this day would finally grant him the chance to declare his love to Gaby by bestowing upon her the brooch. When Gaby graced his shop with her presence, he nervously handed her the cherished artifact, whispering his adoration in a barely audible murmur. In response, Gaby smiled and playfully remarked, "About time, too." Finally, the brooch found its rightful owner, and Archie's heartfelt wish materialized—he was united with Gaby, the love of his life.
