Secret Love

Synopsis: Not all betrayals should lead you nowhere. Max, my fiance, abandoned me on the red carpet, approached my claimed younger sister Fiona, and escorted her to the priest right in front of my eyes. In the end, he married her with the blessing of my parents. It's really hilarious how these people encouraged me to marry him. If that wasn't tragic enough, Fiona then splashed filthy water all over my beautiful wedding gown. I had no royal roots as the daughter of a prostitute, so I didn't argue or fight since I knew it would never end. But they all seem to forget one thing: a diamond was just an ordinary stone until a polisher revealed its worth. Life couldn't have treated me better by giving me the name Diamond, and I knew I wasn't destined for a dead end. I am the diamond, and I am waiting for the lucky one to polish me and reveal my real brightness. Do I need a polisher? Will I find someone to help me get back at those who have betrayed me? Or will I become my own polisher, shaping my own destiny?

I was looking stunning, like a bride should, as my hair was curled in a retro bun, leaving two strands on each side.The makeup on my face was exquisite, with a double-layer foundation and bright red lipstick.My brows were carved like waves, and my lashes were straightened with light mascara.A pair of shimmering pearl earrings on my ears and a pearl necklace around my neck.

Chapter Two: REVELATION: Shocking truth behind her birth.
I was humiliated publicly, and it was not something I could tolerate. I frantically looked around. Everyone seemed to be engrossed in them. I felt the drumming in my chest. Why did my parents encourage me into this marriage just to humiliate me this way? Why?I couldn’t find the right answers to my question. They both broke the kiss, and the two of them unanimously turned to look at me. Just when I opened my mouth to speak, Fiona beat me to it."Hey sister," she said, emphasizing the word 'sister' mockingly.Fiona got to where I stood and then chuckled while eyeing me like some disgusting creature. I simply sniffed and wiped away my tears. She smiled when she saw me do that."Seeing the great diamond this way gives me so much joy!" She laughed, and I gulped uneasily."W..hy me?" I stuttered, staring at the lady in front of me. She smirked and looked at me hatefully with her blue eyes. She and I were not alike. She had blonde hair, and mine was brown and medium-length.She was much sho

Chapter Three: IT'S ALL A GAME FOR REVENGE
I kept sniffing, trying to control my tears, but it was to no avail. I hated my life. I despised my mother, who brought me into this horrendous world. They destroyed my life; they destroyed everything. It was Mom, and she just had to involve me, who knows nothing about their messy vengeance."You punk!" Fiona made to slap me, but Max held her hand."That’s enough, wifey. You look stressed. We still have our honeymoon to go for," he said, wrapping his arm around her waist tenderly.She shot me a glance and walked away. Not saying a word, I held onto my mom’s picture and the DNA results. I stood up and subconsciously walked out, not minding the hateful eyes staring at me. It began raining. I walked like a zombie into the rain, crying. I could never have imagined my life would be crumbling like this right in front of me.Not on just a normal day, but on a day that was supposed to be my wedding."Why do you have to be my mother?" I murmured in tears, staring at the already wet picture

Chapter Four: CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.
Backtrack to a month ago.We were all having breakfast together except Fiona, who just left her meal halfway a moment ago.I will be meeting up with Max in the next hour. I guessed he had planned another surprise date already."How are your wedding plans coming along?" Dad asked after taking a sip from his red wine.I came to a halt, putting down the knife and fork I was using to cut my steak to give my dad my full attention."Everything is fine. Max suggested we send out more invitation cards next week, but I declined. We have invited more people already. I don’t want something grand, just small and simple," I replied, moving my gaze back to my food."Huh?" Mom looked at me, surprised at what I just said."Does the Xander family look like a joke to you? You’re our eldest daughter and the only heir to the Xander empire. Your wedding ought to be in grand style," she said, before turning to face her father, who was sitting next to her."Right, darling?"She asked. "Huh," Dad looked at

Chapter Five: MEETING CARDO: A Deal with the Devil
I was about to stab myself with the knife when a message popped on my phone. I stared at the message to see it was sent by an anonymous, with only four words content: "You are a diamond."The knife subconsciously fell from my hand."I’m diamond..." I muttered as well and fell to the ground.But who was the sender?My stomach rumbled, and I groaned."I can’t possibly think when my stomach is still growling," I thought. The kitchen door opened, and Pinky entered."Oh, bestie!" She muttered. "I went out to get some foodstuffs as you were fast asleep, and I didn’t want to disturb you," she said."I should prepare breakfast; you must be hungry." She added. I lazily stood up, and that was when she noticed the knife on the floor."Careless me. I might have left it when I hurried out," she uttered as she picked it up.I said nothing. I grabbed my phone and left.- - - - -A month later- - - - - I was home all alone. Pinky left earlier, saying she has a meeting with her dad.Pinky is a b

A cheat
Diamond POV The car halted in front of pinky’s apartment. I sigh and turned to look at him. “Thank you!” That’s all I could mutter. I bite on my lower lip as I play with my fingers. “You don’t have to thank me. We both needs each other help” He said and I nodded. He was right. We both needed each other. “I should get going now” “Great. I will come pick you up tomorrow. We’ll be meeting with my family!” He said and my eyes widened. “Y…your family?” I stuttered. Of course I was surprised. We just made a deal. “I don’t have time” He said subconsciously reading my thoughts. “Mmm” I muttered. Do I really have a say? “Fine” That was my respond as I pushed the passenger door opened. “Have a peaceful night” He said. I hummed a respond and came down completely. I watched him drive out before turning to leave. My body froze at who I saw. I couldn’t move as my body went numb. “Diamond!” He called as he frantically walked up to me. My chest tightened mere seeing hi

A wife for him
RICARDO POV The sprawling O'Brien’s estate was a maze of hallways and rooms, adorned with vibrant flowers in every shade. I made my way down the endless corridor, lost in my thoughts and worries. I finally reached the small villa where Grand father was recuperating, nestled behind the lush garden. The peaceful surroundings were bathed in warm sunlight, a sharp contrast to the chaos in my mind. My face was drained of color, my eyes filled with anger. Grandfather O’Brien was known to be cruel and merciless, with power and connections that reached far and wide, even among the police and gangs. Those who dared to cross him often met with a grisly fate. “Sir, Cardo is here" I was jolted back to reality by the servant's voice. I breathed deeply, and took a harsh step inside. A group of doctors encircled Grandfather on the huge bed as i approached. After the examination, the attending doctor sighed and said, "Although Mr. O’Brien has regained consciousness, the accident has t

Committing sucide
DIAMOND POVI opened my eyes slowly and groaned. I was rewarded with a sharp headache which cause me to hold my head up. Gosh! Can’t believe I cried to bed without eating. All because of that motherfucker. He still have effect on me. I hissed and cursed at same time. “Gosh! My head hurt….” I cried out. I stood up and noticed it was dark already. “Pinky!” I called out but there was no respond. “Pink…” I uttered again but i got no reply. “Httf….” I mumbled under my breathe. She might have gone out. I dragged myself to the kitchen and took a cup of water. I gulped it down my throat and heaved sadly. I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I went to Pinky’s Closet and took one of her black hoodie. My legs carried me out of the house. I had no idea where I was going.I was bone-weary, for life instead. My body was looking for warmth.I wanted Max’s hug and Mom's chicken pot pie.But I know I will get none. Max is happily married to someone else now and mom is actually not my

An O’Brien
When did he sit down?'Here.' He handed me the cigarette.'I don't smoke.' My voice was scratchy.'Because smoking kills? But you're going to die anyway. Why not give it a try?'This man's voice was just as low, but it had a kind of musical cadence to it, unlike to mom’s didactic one.It was mellifluous and smooth, like aged wine.The cap hid most of his face. I could see his chin and his lips, which were thin and curved into a lazy smile. They kind of reminded me of Adam Levine's famous lips.I pondered what he said and decided that he was right.YOLO, right?So I took the cigarette with two fingers like I saw men do in movies.I stuck the filter into my mouth.I took a drag. And I coughed immediately.The nicotine had smelled pleasant enough when it was at a distance. But the chemical was aggressive.It went straight through my mouth, shot down my throat and attacked my lungs.My eyes watered. I coughed so hard that my entire body shook.'Whoa, don't lean forward.' He clasped my wri
