Diamond In Disguise: Now Watch Me Shine Novels & Stories

The head and hair movement was swift as bright smiles entered the island women's pretty faces. Jewel has a full, delicious figure and a tight waistline. She moved to the front, and her shredded stomach rolled like a belly dancer while winking into the audience. Minsoo exclaimed in excitement. "Did you see that Tevin? She just winked at me!" Tevin was too busy glued on the ladies while moving his hips. "Yeah, Yeah! Sure she winked at you, Minsoo!"

I must act. All I can do is stare off into space. At the flash of the neon lights in the room. At the other guys yelling and tossing money around. At the woman on the stage who has heels that snap like a gunshot. "I'm Diamond," she breathes softly, moving close and tracing a perfectly manicured finger down my chest. "But call me what you prefer." I finally glance at her properly at last. Her makeup impeccable. Her lips full and shiny. Her body unmistakably sensual. The kind of woman any man would kill to have on his lap.

Chapter 45: A Dance with Shadows The gala sparkled with glamour, a testament to the wealth and influence of those in attendance. The air buzzed with the soft hum of conversation, laughter, and the occasional clink of champagne glasses. Melissa, now disguised as Allison Roman, moved through the crowd with practiced grace. She wore a sleek black gown, her hair styled in an elegant updo, and her demeanor calm yet alert. Every step she took felt like a calculated move in a high stakes game of chess.

He was wearing only some silver silk pants, showing his milky skin. Jimmy saw his staring and he got too shy that he had to hide his red cheeks with his hands. “Don't stare.” he pouted. “Diamond,” the king whispered. “I missed you.” Jimmy pressed his lips and smiled softly, “I missed you too, your Majesty.” Taegen took a breath and took a step closer to him. He pulled his hands away from his face, “Don't hide it, you look beautiful.” he said with his deep voice. Jimmy blushed harder. He didn't know if he had to hide his face or his naked body. “Let me put on something first.”

But instead, I heard her footsteps getting closer and closer. "Aria, I know it's you," she whispered again. "I want to talk to you." I hesitated for a moment, wondering what she wanted and how she knew I was the one under the disguise. I slowly opened the stall door, and Diamond's eyes locked onto mine. She looked...different—-from head to toe she was dripping with jewels, her tiara bigger than mine. She looked cold and calculating. "What do you want, Diamond?" I asked as I walked out of the stall with my head held up high.

said Darcy suddenly in the passenger’s seat. “Tsk. Fine. I’ll get my car sanitized later…” grumbled Miru as she started the car. In order to not give the two a chance to talk, Miru turned on the radio and increased the volume. “Dear listeners, we are having a giveaway right now!” “A while ago, the Queen of Jewel, Jasmine Sundar, from Sixth Eye Jewelry spent thirty million on a necklace, Goddess’ Heart. It stole the headlines for days. Starting tomorrow, the Goddess’ Heart will be on display at Sixth Eye Jewelry’s Gundar Palace outlet. Limited slots available for the exhibition.”

And most people in the hall were pretending to smile while calculating what they could gain from tonight’s event. “You’re finally here.” Heaven turned when she heard the familiar voice. Her assistant, Diamond, walked toward her with a bright smile on her face. Heaven’s eyes moved over her outfit before she smiled lightly. “I love your dress,” Heaven said honestly. “It fits you perfectly.” Diamond was wearing a fitted silver dinner dress covered with tiny sparkling stones that reflected beautifully under the lights. The dress hugged her slim figure perfectly, while the open back added a touch of elegance and confidence to her appearance. Diamond looked down at herself proudly.

“You sound disappointed.” “I sound unsurprised. There’s a difference.” “You’re wearing it.” “I am not wearing a tracker disguised as diamonds.” “You are if you want to attend the gala.” I hated how quickly he found the winning argument. For a moment, we stared at each other in the mirror, neither of us willing to look away. Eventually, because apparently my life had reached the point where tracked diamonds counted as a reasonable safety measure, I turned around and lifted my hair. Malik stepped behind me.

The fabric dipped dangerously low, exposing the curve of her spine all the way to the dimples just above her buttocks. I stood behind her, my dark suit a stark contrast to her pale skin and the black silk. I looked like the shadow to her light. I looked like the monster looming over the princess. I reached up and moved her hair to the side, exposing the nape of her neck and the platinum clasp of the collar. "This," I whispered, tracing the line of the diamonds with my index finger. "This is what they need to see." Thea trembled. "It's... it's scandalous, Stellan. The slit... the back..."

They screamed louder, and Sophie yelled, “Flash the ring, bitch! Flash the damn ring!” I started doing a little victory dance, wiggling my fingers in front of their faces. The diamond caught the light, and for a second, the room filled with laughter and gasps. Even Liam cracked up and Micheal shook his head while laughing beside me. Jade grabbed my hand, her eyes wide as she looked down at the ring. “No fucking way. It's a diamond.” Sophie leaned closer, examining it like she was inspecting a precious artifact. Then her expression shifted into a mischievous grin.
