Novel & Cerita Seventeen Diamond

I swear I didn't take anything! I snatched my watch from his grasp and pointed to the bling. "Each one of these diamonds is worth 10 million bucks, Henry. You're in deep trouble." In the chaos of his panic, Henry blurted out something stupid in front of Rowena. "Ms. Smith, I'm begging you. Please help me. Jayden and Clara were an item for four years. They're still not over each other. "He's all wrong for you. If you choose me, I'll be loyal, I promise!"

Every spark that flew from the saw was a piece of the nobody from Port Haven being forged into a leader. When she finally stepped out of the shed, the sun was beginning to dip, casting long, golden shadows over the mine. The miners were waiting, their cynicism replaced by a tense, quiet curiosity. Ophelia opened her hand. Resting in her palm was a diamond that looked like a shard of the midnight sky. It wasn't round. it was sharp, jagged, and brilliant, with a deep blue heart that seemed to glow from within. It was a masterpiece of contemporary unique value.

"It's going to be served at the opening ceremony for Flora resort and since it's going to take a few more months before it's ready to be sold, I think that's the perfect time." "You have all my support," Jasmine grinned as her phone went off. She picked up the phone and frowned at the screen. "Ugh, what a perfect way to ruin the mood." Without another word, she excused herself and disappeared into the living room. Diamond took another sip and leaned back on the stool. "So," she began casually. "I'm thinking of switching my major in school." "Why?" I asked,setting my glass down and arching my brow. Diamond shrugged, swirling the wine in her glass like she was trying to find her answer. "Becau

She hadn’t slept. The gala had ended at eleven and she had been home by eleven forty-five, heels off before the door closed, Vivienne Cole dismantled in the elevator on the way up. What she couldn’t pack away was the bracelet. She’d stood at her bathroom mirror at midnight with the thin diamond band still on her wrist and looked at it for a long time. She got it from the pawn shop in Chicago. Three years ago. A Tuesday in November when she’d been between jobs and between identities and had walked into the shop with no intention of buying anything and had walked out forty minutes later with it.

“Open crate number seven and eight! Now!” Evelyn’s voice rang through the diamond polishing room, usually quiet and precise. Technicians and staff scrambled to obey, their faces tense, hands trembling as they unlocked the crates of diamonds prepared exclusively for the charity gala—just one week away. One by one, the crates were opened… and one by one, expressions froze. “Cracked…” murmured one of the technicians. “The main diamond… it’s cracked through the center.” “This one’s mixed!” shouted another staff member. “These aren’t our stones! They’re… synthetic!”

My heart raced as he opened it, revealing a dazzling diamond ring that caught the light and shimmered like a star. "Wow," I breathed, momentarily mesmerized by the stone’s brilliance. "It’s… beautiful. Is that… five carats?" Adrian grinned, clearly amused by my reaction. "Seven, actually." "Seven?" I repeated, my voice barely a whisper. My eyes were glued to the ring, taking in every facet of the perfectly cut diamond. It was massive, elegant, and almost surreal in its beauty. This wasn’t just a ring—it was a statement, a symbol, something that spoke volumes without a single word.

Kim's countenance brightened. "I can ask my husband to bring you one as well if you want. That would be a gift from us," Kim offered readily, willing to do anything to strengthen her friendship with Mrs. Carter. Serena already had it- the top one. The company had sent it for her. She opened her mouth to refuse when Mendy interrupted. "At least, see who you are talking to. Carters have shares in DiamondHart. She practically owns that company," Mendy chimed, sending a flattering smile to Serena.

We had only known each other for five months, but during that time, I had realized I wanted to spend the rest of my years with him. Carefully, I peeled off the tape from the metallic blue paper and revealed a black velvet box. I opened it slowly and gasped when I saw the exquisite necklace inside. There were four diamonds set in a line that hung from a sleek silver chain. The first diamond was the smallest and they progressively got bigger. It reminded me of our small family. Harry. Bethany. Me and then Dominic. “One diamond representing each of us,” Dominic confirmed my thoughts. “I hope you like it.”

“ No, I don’t have anything going with anyone. Not since Speed pulled into the club. Come on I’ll show you who Diamond is.” He takes me out of the room and we head to the bar again. He looks around before he spots the guy that was at the door, Fred. He is standing at the edge of the dance floor. He is turning his head back and forth watching the crowd. Brick shakes his head “ Doesn’t surprise me. Come on time to meet Diamond.” He drags me to the dance floor next to Fred. “ Where?” Brick asks. Fred points and I follow. Holy fucking shit. He is pointing at Speed dancing like I have never seen before.Brick leans down and whispers in my ear “ Gretchen, meet Diamond.” pointing at Speed. I turn my

He held it between us, snapping it open with a sharp *click*. Inside sat a ring that defied every tradition of Oakhaven high society. It wasn't the clear, brilliant diamond Julian had used to 'mark' me as his property. This was a **Black Diamond**—a raw, jagged, five-carat stone that seemed to swallow the light of the hallway. It was surrounded by a halo of small, blood-red rubies that looked like droplets of frozen fire. I hesitated, my hand hovering in the air. The sheer weight of what this represented—a contract that bound my life to the most dangerous man in the city—suddenly felt very real.
