The bracelet
The first day that Lionel went to the caves which Lex was as obsessive with, he found an old gold bracelet hidden under the sand, with a red shiny crystal in the middle. He took it without say anything and made his investigators to discover what it was… They found anything… So Lionel put the jewel with all the other he had.
They had made too many types of proves on it, but what they didn't do was to put it on a woman's wrist…
It was Saturday evening, Martha had just arrived at the Luthor's mansion, where Lionel was waiting her. They were going to a charity dress party in Metropolis, and Lionel had said that he had a surprise for her.
The butler opened the door, and Lionel stood behind him to see how wonderful that woman had dressed for him. She was wearing a long red skirt and a pretty top, which let anybody to see her pretty white navel, her soft back, and her beautiful neckline. And she had tied her hair back with a red band. She looked like an Arab princess.
Lionel: Wow!
Lionel had dressed up as Renaissance aristocrat.
Martha: Do you like my costume? Clark said that it didn't cover enough… and Lois that it was really sexy… - she smiled – But I love how it goes with my hair…
Lionel: It's… p-perfect…
Martha: Are you ok?
Lionel: I am. It's… it's just that… you look amazing!
Martha: Thanks… - she blushed – So… what's the surprise?
Lionel: Oh yeah! I had forgotten it! Came with me… - he took Martha's hand and took her with him. They went to the library of the house and Lionel opened the save box.
Martha: Is my surprise inside?
Lionel: Close your eyes… - he helped her to go inside – Now… opened them…
Martha: Oh my god!
She found herself in front of a wall full of shiny jewels.
Lionel: Nobody had never wear them for years… I want you to choose which you like the most. – he smiled to her.
Martha: Oh dear, I can't do that… they seemed to be really expensive jewels…
Lionel: Expensive or not… they have been here for years… they wish you to wear them… choose one, or two… or how much you prefer…
Martha: But I… - she was looking at all the jewels… they would be the dream of any woman… but her eyes stopped in one – This one! This is perfect for the dress I'm wearing today! – she smiled.
Lionel: This bracelet?! Are you sure?
Martha: I am.
It was a beautiful gold bracelet with a red shiny crystal in the middle.
Lionel took it and put it on Martha's wrist, and suddenly a red light went out from the bracelet's crystal, then, it goes.
Lionel: Are you ok?
Martha: I am.
Lionel: Are you sure? I didn't know what it was…
Martha: I'm fine. – she smiled.
Lionel: Ok… so… let's go to the party…
Martha: Ok!
Lionel offered his arm to Martha and she round it with hers.
