MasukDiamond's POVShortly after the private investigator had left, I felt somewhat happier, not entirely happy, but I felt my fears ease away. Surely I wouldn't be stuck in prison for most of all of my life.Now I just had to quietly serve my sentence in peace. I have no idea what will happen after that, but my life isn't entirely over. Sometime later, a guard brought some food for me to eat, which I did in silence.After that, no one disturbed me for anything till it was time for me to go back to prison. I was made to take a mugshot before going to prison, and all the time I didn't say a word even as I was given my new uniform, which was an orange jumpsuit without any belts.The reason there were no belts was to stop the prisoners from committing suicide. I wore my uniform and sat quietly. In the bus, I wasn't the only one going, so I had to see the other inmates; the rest of them seemed like hardened criminals, unlike me.I hoped no one would recognize my face as Debra's, so I said n
Diamond's POVI sat in a dark grey room with just a table and two chairs inside. Left alone, I had nothing but my thoughts to think of. Ever since I left the estate, I hadn't said a single word to anyone. No matter how many questions they asked me, I just kept quiet.They left me alone in the room after an hour of wasted interrogations. They probably figured out I needed time to get myself together, not that I had anything to get together in the first place.I was completely broken, shattered, and feeling mangled inside. I didn't know what to do, nor did I have anyone else to call or talk to. Nicholas was my world, the only reason I found being alive bearable, and now he hates me.A knock came from the door, distracting me from my thoughts. A man came inside, different from the person who came earlier to ask me questions. This man I knew was the one who came to take me away from my husband after all.He was the harbinger of my despair; he ruined my life, but strangely, I bore no en
Nicholas's POVI sat down in my room on the chair next to my table, deep in thought. My hair was a mess, my shirt was torn, left on the ground, and my tie was thrown in a direction I wasn't certain of.I felt overshadowed by grief and hate, and what hurt the most was betrayal. My feelings were too much of a mess to make sense of them. I had trusted her, the one woman I had trusted with everything in me.I gave out my soul and heart to her to protect and love her, to cherish and worship her, I adored her beyond myself. I loved her more than I would any walking human alive.And yet, she lied and deceived me.All this time, I had been faithful and loving to her. I had protected her and loved her, she had lied to me every day, her words were deceptions and her actions were falsehoods.The worst of them all was that I gave in; I believed in her; I thought she could do me no wrong; it wasn't possible that she would, and yet here I was distraught.I ignored her screams and pleas; I didn't w
Diamond's POV"No, Nicholas, please listen to me," I cried out, but he wasn't listening. "Nicholas, I can explain…just give me a chance to explain, please!" I shouted at the top of my voice, but I was greeted with his back.He didn't turn to face me, nor did he care about me. I felt my world falling apart, my chest refusing to move, and my eyes flooded the carpet with tears. He was leaving me.He couldn't leave me.We loved each other too much, but there I was watching the man I lived for walk away from me with every step of the way. I cried his name out one last time."Nicholas!" But still, I was met with the eyes of others, looking at me pitifully. It wasn't supposed to happen like this, it shouldn't have gone this way.The officer called two other men and pointed at me. Seeing them walk toward me, a feeling of dread wrapped around my heart, leaving me in a state of panic. I turned around and scrambled toward Neymar."Neymar, you promised, you said he wouldn't hate me," I screamed
Nicholas's POV"What the fuck is happening in my house?" I shouted to get everyone's attention. The entire scene before me was a complete mess. First, I came into my estate and met two police cars waiting at the entrance of my door.Second, while I tried to talk with the officers and asked them what the purpose of their visit was, I saw Ivan standing inside my house, and he was casually laughing and talking to my wife, Debra.Surely I was seeing things, so I walked into the house, leaving the officers behind me, and I was shocked by what I saw.Neymar sitting down with Lucia standing behind him, an officer standing in the center of my living room with a computer on my table.Ivan and Debra, my wife, standing and laughing together, and lastly, I saw Debra again. At the same time, in the same place, I was looking at two women that looked exactly the same…body stature, build, height, face, everything was the same, which left me beyond confused.The officer walked up to me almost as imm
Diamond's POVI stood frozen in shock as I saw Ivan standing behind a woman that looked exactly like me. The room was deathly silent, not a single person said a word. I looked over at Neymar.He looked at me and the other woman that looked like me. Back and forth, his gaze switched between us. He staggered a bit before he struggled to sit down with Lucia's help.He clenched his chest, then doubled down, breathing deeply as if affected by the situation. Lucia rushed to his aid and brought a glass of water to calm him down.Ivan, on the other hand, looked at me with a coy smile on his face. As if to proclaim his victory, he waved at me with his right hand. The woman I supposed to be the real Debra watched me with hateful eyes…she glared at me, looking me up and down with hostility."Ma'am, if you will please come over here to verify your identity," the officer called out to me once again. My back was against the wall, and I had nowhere to run. I would be caught and arrested before I
Diamond’s POVI stopped dancing soon after I heard the voice behind me. I knew that voice all too well; I yearned for it. I smiled and stood up, although I was a little bit tipsy, but I didn't care. I staggered and looked Nicholas in the eye; I couldn't quite understand his expression. The music s
Diamond's POVI quickly opened my wardrobe to find something appealing. Nicholas thinks he is the only one who can humiliate me in front of everyone. Geez, he is going to see my dancing skills soon! I put on skimpy skirts, crop tops, and boots. Something nice for a club. My skirt was literally ver
Diamond’s POVI froze for a while as I watched him watch me take in the information before I scoffed. “What do you mean? You take me for a fool now?” I asked. My chest was already beginning to tighten from anger and sadness. He was about to speak, but I beat him to it. “See... I know that you said
Diamond’s POV"The only reason I agreed to this marriage was because of my mom, Diamond. She's been pestering me to get married. I never intended for it to be anything more than that." My heart sank. I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. So this was all just a game to him, I thought. He
