Blood Diamonds Real Story Novels & Stories

"Okay just for today? For our wedding?" "The title remains King," "So you can't compromise for your bride?" "Why should I? Only a true King can buy you this," he said, unveiling a gorgeous diamond necklace from his pocket. It sat in a bed of velvet, enshrined in a shiny silver storage piece. Olivia gasped. "Are those real diamonds?" "I'm insulted that you'd expect a fake from me. De Beers had it specially customised." De beers - one of the biggest and most prominent diamond companies in the world. Olivia didn't even want to think about how much this would have cost. He must have paid through his nose.

“Marry me.” I laughed, then went quiet. Reached into the nightstand drawer. Pulled out the small velvet box I’d been carrying for weeks. Her fork froze halfway to her mouth. I opened it. Diamond ring, simple, elegant, perfect for her. “Marlene Blackwood,” I said, voice steady even though my heart was pounding. “I’ve loved you through hell and back. Through secrets and loss and everything in between. You’re my peace. My home. My everything.” Tears filled her eyes.

The diamond was sold at an auction in Geneva, Switzerland, for $21 million in 2011, setting a world record for diamond auction at that time. The buyer of the diamond was Mr. John. Later, Mr. John had the famous jewelry brand Bvlgari set the diamond, making it even more splendid. Frost was about to put the ring on Bianca's finger when he suddenly heard a scream from behind. He turned around and found it was Betty, she was trembling, her eyes filled with anger. "I want justice for my family, I want to expose my nephew's true colours!"

"Well, it isn't as if I trust you. But I have no choice at that moment so I have to. " "So, Mr Castillo. What's your offer for the diamonds?" He asked him. Dominick on the other hand had his men inspect the authenticity of the diamonds and he was sure he wanted to do business with Manuel. The Howells are from a traditional family and they owned several mines which were enriched with golds, diamonds and also other natural resources.

People died getting those stones out of the ground. You think De Beers sells these in a window display? That ring took eleven months to extract and two years to complete. Every stone was chosen, cut, and placed under my order. It cost me sixty million just to get it cut without shattering.You sold blood diamonds princess. And now you owe me. One hundred and sixty million dollars, or your life.” Natasha's mouth fell open. 160 million dollars. That was four times the amount it was sold for at the auction.
