Diamond In The Rough Synonym

While we were scuba diving, my boyfriend, Raphael Carlisle, ripped off my oxygen mask and put it on his childhood friend, Lucia Fairchild, whose mask had started leaking. I was left thrashing helplessly in the freezing water. Just as I thought it was over, Raphael's younger brother, Gabriel Carlisle, swam over, breathed life into me, and brought me back to the surface. After he saved me, he presented me with the purple diamond ring he designed himself and proposed, "For as long as I live, I'll never let you face danger again." I believed that he was my one true love, so I married him, leaving my job behind to focus on starting a family. On the day Lucia was given a critical condition notice, I ended up in a car accident. As I lay half-conscious on the hospital bed, I overheard Gabriel talking with Raphael. "Get a doctor to induce labor right away! Lucia's illness can only be treated with a stem cell transplant from umbilical cord blood. The only reason I got Phoebe pregnant was for this very day." "But she's carrying our bloodline! How could you have someone hit her with a car?" Raphael yelled. Gabriel replied, "Lucy matters more to me! As for Phoebe, I can spoil her rotten once she wakes up." At that moment, I realized the love I held on to was nothing but a lie. If that was the case, I'd just leave.

At the team dinner, everyone started hyping Peggy Madoff and me up to call our partners. Before I could even move, Peggy—runner-up to my top spot—whipped out her phone. "Babe, everyone's making me call you!" she giggled. On the line? Gerard Busch. Yeah, the CEO. He laughed. "Guess I'll be counting on you all to look after Peggy," he said. Cue the gasps and cheers. I just kept downing my wine. Because Gerard? He was my husband.

Ang pagmamahal na iniwasan ay siyang pinakamahirap kalimutan… Si Gabriel Navarro ay isang self-made billionaire at CEO ng isang matagumpay na kumpanya, ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng kanyang tagumpay at yaman, may isang lihim na hindi pa rin niya kayang bitawan—si Sofia Montes, ang unang pag-ibig na iniiwasan niyang muling magmahal. Noong nakaraan, pinili niyang iwan si Sofia, iniisip na mas mahalaga ang kanyang negosyo kaysa sa pusong may sugat. Ngunit sa kanilang muling pagkikita, sa loob ng kanyang kumpanya, muling nabuhay ang mga damdamin na akala niyang matagal nang namatay. Si Sofia, ngayon ay isang malaya at matagumpay na babae, ay hindi na ang dating dalaga. May mga sugat na rin siya mula sa kanilang nakaraan. Ngunit sa bawat titig at bawat salitang nag-uugnay sa kanilang dalawa, unti-unting napapansin ni Gabriel na may nangyaring mas malalim kaysa sa kanyang iniwasan. Habang nagsisimula silang magkasama muli, isang malupit na lihim ang unti-unting lumalabas: si Gabriel ay may malubhang sakit na hindi niya kayang pagdaanan mag-isa. Lihim na siyang nahihirapan at wala pang lakas na aminin kay Sofia na ang bawat araw ay nagiging labanan sa buhay. Ngunit ang takot niyang mawala si Sofia ng hindi nila nasasabi ang mga bagay na hindi nila kailanman natapos, ay nagsisilbing pinakamabigat na hamon ng kanyang buhay. Puwede bang magtagumpay ang pagmamahal nilang nagsimula sa mga unang taon ng kanilang buhay? O magiging alaala na lamang ito, tulad ng ulan na tinatangay ng hangin?
