Sparkling Diamonds Moulin Rouge Novels & Stories

It wasn't the normal champagne that made my eyes widen, but the bottle and the label for I knew it wasn't a usual one. "I-is that—" "Gout de Diamants," he confirmed. My jaw dropped as I remember its price when I saw it online. The champagne's price could make me survive for almost three years! It was the famous expensive Gout de Diamants or Taste of Diamonds! And a bottle of this champagne cost jaw-droppingly $2.07,000,000! "A-are you serious we're going to drink that?" I asked. "Yes. I can afford it and I want to give you everything that you deserve, so, there you go, baby."

"How fancy." "It's the best in town," Robbie told her, amused by her tagging along as he held the door open for both of us. I took one step in and froze. Everything inside sparkled like it had been kissed by moonlight—white velvet display pads, polished gold, gemstones in deep sapphire and rich garnet hues, silver so clean it was like glass. I was afraid to breathe. One wrong inhale and I might knock something over with just my guilt. The air itself smelled like money, floral and expensive.

She froze mid-step, then gasped, “Oh my God!” The sharp click of her heels echoed as she half-ran across the marble, her dress flaring around her legs. The overheads flickered on, spotlighting the True love colored, Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail like a jewel in its case. The oversized pink ribbon cinched it, no mystery who it was for.

A hope. Evelyn clapped her hands together, the sound sharp and decisive. "Right! Tea is inadequate. We need champagne! Well, I need champagne. Sophie, darling, Marguerite makes a spectacular alcohol-free sparkling elderflower concoction. You’ll adore it." She moved towards a discreet intercom panel hidden behind a giant monster leaf. "Marguerite? The ’09 Dom Pérignon. Immediately. And the special elderflower for Sophie. We are celebrating a seismic event!" As she spoke into the intercom, Damian drew me closer. He slid his arm fully around my waist, his large hand settling possessively over my lower belly.

Darren POV Restaurant: La Couronne Noire Manhattan’s most exclusive and discreet fine dining sanctuary, tucked in a glass tower on 72nd. You don’t book a table here. You get summoned—if your net worth ends in 5 zeros. The maître d’ practically bowed when he saw Krystal. We were led to a private glass dining cove with a chandelier made of raw diamonds, and a view of the skyline so sharp it hurt. The chef himself came out.

But I've arrived just in time to stand up for this young man here, right? Some of the guests nodded, while others remained skeptical, and one of them was my family. "Well, let me tell you everyone...'' Mr. Wilsdorf continued. "This brown stone is commonly referred to as a champagne or whiskey diamond. This variety is regarded as one of the most valuable gemstones, with its natural formation contributing to its rarity and worth." He enthusiastically lifted the stone towards the light, eliciting gasps from the audience as it immediately shimmered and sparkled, showcasing a breathtaking cognac hue. "This is valued at one hundred thousand dollars per gram."

Olivia I chuckled, scratching the back of my neck. “Oh! This? God, it’s actually kind of insane. I went to this exclusive chromatherapy spa in the Upper East Side—you know, one of those weird holistic places that charge a fortune to dip you in flower water and call it healing—and they convinced me to try this experimental gemstone-infused hair mist. Supposedly enhances aura flow or whatever.” I rolled my eyes and let out a nervous laugh. “I thought it was just a light gloss treatment, but apparently the rubies were not color-safe. I didn’t even notice until I got into the car and saw my reflection in the windshield. Like—surprise! So…yeah…”

​The air in the Pierre Hotel suite didn't smell like silicon or ozone; it smelled of expensive lilies and the faint, haunting metallic tang of a New York rainstorm. It was a sensory masterpiece—the "Gold Standard" of rendering. ​Nora Davis stood in the center of the plush Persian rug, her hands trembling as she clutched Leo against her scrubs. The golden cage was beautiful, opulent, and absolute. Every thread of the silk curtains, every reflection in the gilded mirrors, was a testament to the $1.2 billion that the "Real" Julian Vane had spent to keep them here.

FIVE-STAR HOTEL GRAND BALLROOM] The grand ballroom of the Rosewood Hotel had been transformed into something out of a fairy tale. Crystal chandeliers hung from the vaulted ceiling, casting prismatic light across the room. White and gold fabric draped elegantly along the walls, interspersed with cascading arrangements of white gardenias and pink peonies, Shayla's favorites. Round tables dressed in ivory linens surrounded a spacious dance floor, each centerpiece a work of art featuring candles and more flowers.

Madame Rouge found me the second I stepped inside the private lounge. She wore a crimson gown and a smile sharp enough to cut glass. “Lot 13,” she purred, circling me. “Twenty-three. Virgin.
