I keep on lying, hoping that these lies would help me save my heart from breaking to pieces, that these lies would help me save the life I have built over the past few months. He leaned closer, his voice little more than a hushed confession. "The Dresden Green Diamond, Zyra. A prize that was stolen from our very own Black Market Auction. Quite the audacious move, don't you think?" Sweat started forming on my body, the fear of loosing everything I have just got, engulfed me.

Like it was a bomb that could go off any second, he handled it with the utmost care. “It’s just a diamond, Lucian. It’s not gonna break.” His gaze flicked up, and that oily look in his eyes deepened into a callous expression. As an Italian, he had thick hair on his chest that contrasted against the gold jewelry he wore. He was a slimy man, a man who couldn’t get those women into his pool unless he paid them. “Sir Francis Drake took these from the Sentinelese off the coast of India hundreds of years ago. Only three in existence, these are no ordinary diamonds—but skull diamonds. So I will take my fucking time.” He lifted the box and popped the lid.

"But I was scared because I didn't want to lose you in the process, and I knew that you would be heartbroken when you eventually learned the bitter truth." He grasped both of my hands. "Let's keep those bitter memories in the past, Sierra, and we won't ever speak of them. Do we have a deal?" I nodded quietly. "Yes, it's a deal." "How did you end up in prison?" "I was framed for stealing the blue diamond." "But I still kept my promise; I won't ever steal anything again, and I returned all the things I had stolen in the past." Ares looked puzzled. "That can't be right. The blue diamond is back at the museum in New York, unless it's a fake."

Chapter 76: The Cracks in the High-Rise The velvet box sat open on the glass coffee table. Its contents caught the light of the Manhattan penthouse. Inside was a 1932-cut diamond. It was unpolished, jagged and held a multi-billion-dollar secret. Elena stood a foot away. Her arms were crossed tightly as she stared at the diamond. For months Julian's family had looked down on her. They treated her like a distraction in his life. The Vane dynasty valued perfection. Arranged corporate mergers. They wanted a woman who could be molded into a piece of background decoration. They had no idea that this rough diamond was the Julian needed to tear down his fathers facade.

“What is this about diamonds?” “Before he died, Vani Jones was in charge of a very important mission. The Pretties was supposed to receive a small package that would include diamonds worth billions. But Vani Jones died before our boss could get that package. It turned out that Emmanuel Jones had gotten a hold of the package by some sheer luck.” My fingers felt tingles in their nerves as the realization of his story hit me over and over. My brother and his wife were killed because of diamonds. I mean, I get it… the gems are crazy expensive. But did people have to die? Did Rebecca have to become an orphan just because of that?

Luis sprung to his feet when he saw the man and the woman. He had been cursing them all day. The man was the diamond seller while the older woman with glasses was a renowned diamond appraiser in Riverbank City. They worked together to sell a fake diamond to Luis, embarrassing him at Bronze Sparrow last night. “Thump!” The man and woman fell to their knees before Luis. “That’s not true, Mr. Presley! I would never sell a fake diamond to you. I bought the diamond from a prince of Sandia.” “You know me, Mr. Presley. I’ve been in the jewelry appraisal business for decades. I have never been wrong in my judgment. I would never lie to you.”

Claudia is supporting me and she even mentioned trust? "Ha! You're at this again. Nice!" Micaela snickered and shook her head. "Mine, my diamond, I'm sorry I never believed you, I was just so stupid and stubborn to listen to you. These past one month has not been easy without you by my side. When I got to know the whole truth of what happened that night, I regretted not giving you a chance to prove your innocence. But all that is in the past now, the enemy behind our rough past is now behind bars and...."

Of course, he wouldn't like me going after the diamonds, but they belonged to my late mother - she had stolen them fair and square, and I wouldn't let them take away what belonged to her. "I'll handle my father, your job here is to go along with whatever story I tell him. I'm sure those men will not try to get the diamonds from us." I said, certain that I had managed to scare them off. "But who are they Khloe? And why did they try to take the Diamonds away from us again?" Diego asked.

“My men investigated. The person who delivered the diamond disappeared without a trace as soon as they left the film set. Cameras turned off, false records. Furthermore, the origin of the stone is unknown. There is no certificate. It is very likely that it is contraband, brought in through an illegal underground channel.” The corner of Axel's mouth twitched. The fun was over. “Another headache...” Axel muttered seriously. “While normal people's love lives seem like romantic comedies, yours is a mix of crime drama and action thriller.
