I let the file I was holding fall onto the workbench with a metallic click that sounded like a gunshot in the silence. The sound made Greta flinch. “Cold, Greta?” I asked. My voice was no longer a tired whisper. It was smooth, flat, and sharp as a blade.

she said with a disapproving shake of her head. The room was perfectly still now as everyone seemed to be holding their breaths for an inevitable verdict. Mrs. Gravestone loathed incompetence and everyone knew there was always a punishment attached. Mia leaned forward, attempting to say something but Mrs. Gravestone was already speaking, her face turned to the other board members. "It's a skill to be able to recognize a diamond in the rough.

“What about that one? It doesn’t even look like a diamond.” “That one is sixty thousand,” she says evenly. “Sixty thousand?!” Adam practically yells, his voice echoing off the pristine walls. “For what? It doesn’t even sparkle like the others!” “It’s a different cut, sir. All our rings are high-quality pieces.” Adam huffs, muttering something under his breath about everything in this damned hotel being overpriced. He straightens and leans closer to the counter, his frustration clear. “Which one of these rings isn’t going to bankrupt me?”

Dad turns to me with a grin and says, "Open your eyes; you don’t want to miss this." I slowly peel my eyes open, and in that instant, I’m struck by the breathtaking beauty everyone has been raving about. The glow and shimmer envelop me, and the rest of the world seems to vanish as I gaze at the splendor before me. Dad doesn’t need to say anything else; I instantly realize what I’m witnessing. "Wow," I breathe out, taking a step closer, my eyes fixated on the sight… it’s the diamonds, the exquisite diamonds that everyone adores. They are a true marvel, radiating brilliance in all their glory. There’s no protection around them, not even a glass case; they’re simply displayed on the table, glis

“It’s fine, Mrs. Aliz. I’d like to hear the young lady’s thoughts.” There was no way she knew anything about diamonds, even if she could probably afford one now. Mila’s smile deepened, her confidence probably bolstered by his attention. “Synthetic diamonds may be popular, but there will always be a market for rarity and exclusivity–things that cannot be replicated by machines.” She paused, letting her words sink in and the crowd around us was eating it up. Mr. Deveaux’s expression was neutral, but I saw a hint of approval. Again, I tried to take control.

“You might hear tales of it from the fishermen. It’s said the stone glows with an inner light, only visible on the darkest nights. It’s your connection to nature, to the adaptability that is crucial for an Ancient Wolf.” I nodded slowly, processing her words. “And the diamond? The coal mines sound perilous.” “They are,” she admitted, her mental tone turning serious. “It’s located deep within the mines, in a place called the Cavern of Echoes. The journey there is treacherous, full of traps and dangers. But the diamond represents resilience. It’s the embodiment of pressure, of enduring against all odds.” A heavy silence settled between us. I looked at my hands, imagining the weight of these ar

One is a simple band with a smooth finish, while the other one is smaller, narrower, and… “The stones are small, and you love rubies, right? And it’s just two of them…plus the diamond is smaller. If you don’t like it–” “I love it,” she cuts me off. “It’s beautiful.” “Really?” She nods. “Yes. They are small and cute.” I poke her nose with my fingertip. “Like you.” She narrows her eyes. “Tone it down, young man. You are not done yet.”

With an arrogant demeanor, Bridget extended her hand and said, "Look carefully then! This is a rare pink diamond worth tens of millions." Frida examined the bracelet before saying with a faint smile, "Miss, this diamond of yours is lab-grown. "Real diamonds have a pure, white sparkle with exceptional brilliance and hardness. While yours is a dyed moissanite, even the refracted light is multicolored." At that moment, several wealthy women who knew Frida mockingly told Bridget, "Mrs. Lowe is a jewelry appraiser. She's been in the industry for decades. No one knows jewelry better than her."

If it does then it would somehow be my kind of way to break free from this marriage and also get my long desired freedom. "Oh, mio dio tesoro! Guarda questo diamante. Questa ragazza deve essere molto stupida per scambiarlo. Se vendiamo questo raro diamante al mercato nero, diventeremo luridi da un giorno all'altro." That lady exclaimed out in pure shock looking at it. (Oh my god honey! Just look at this diamond. This girl must be very stupid to trade this. We will be filthy rich overnight if we sell this rare diamond in the black market.)

I presented the diamond ring to her and I noticed how she looked at it proving her to be a gold digger or maybe in this context a diamond digger and isn't diamonds a ladies best friend? I became angry when she still played hard to get. She needed the money and I had given her no choice than to take it so why act like you are not interested?
