DIAMOND POVI opened my eyes slowly and groaned. I was rewarded with a sharp headache which cause me to hold my head up. Gosh! Can’t believe I cried to bed without eating. All because of that motherfucker. He still have effect on me. I hissed and cursed at same time. “Gosh! My head hurt….” I cried out. I stood up and noticed it was dark already. “Pinky!” I called out but there was no respond. “Pink…” I uttered again but i got no reply. “Httf….” I mumbled under my breathe. She might have gone out. I dragged myself to the kitchen and took a cup of water. I gulped it down my throat and heaved sadly. I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I went to Pinky’s Closet and took one of her black hoodie. My legs carried me out of the house. I had no idea where I was going.I was bone-weary, for life instead. My body was looking for warmth.I wanted Max’s hug and Mom's chicken pot pie.But I know I will get none. Max is happily married to someone else now and mom is actually not my
When did he sit down?'Here.' He handed me the cigarette.'I don't smoke.' My voice was scratchy.'Because smoking kills? But you're going to die anyway. Why not give it a try?'This man's voice was just as low, but it had a kind of musical cadence to it, unlike to mom’s didactic one.It was mellifluous and smooth, like aged wine.The cap hid most of his face. I could see his chin and his lips, which were thin and curved into a lazy smile. They kind of reminded me of Adam Levine's famous lips.I pondered what he said and decided that he was right.YOLO, right?So I took the cigarette with two fingers like I saw men do in movies.I stuck the filter into my mouth.I took a drag. And I coughed immediately.The nicotine had smelled pleasant enough when it was at a distance. But the chemical was aggressive.It went straight through my mouth, shot down my throat and attacked my lungs.My eyes watered. I coughed so hard that my entire body shook.'Whoa, don't lean forward.' He clasped my wri
Diamond POVI sat in the car with…..Goddess. I can’t believe I don’t even know his name. I’m getting married to a man I don’t even know. “You’re absolutely crazy Diamond!” My subconscious mind said and i sighed slowly. Getting betrayed at cause one in doing crazy stuff. He had came as promised. Pinky was surprised to see that a guy came to pick me up. Yeah! I didn’t get the chance to tell her yesterday since Max appeared from no where. I literally cried to bed. I couldn’t believe I’m still hurt by him but I promised to get over so soon. The car halted. Today he was in his sun glasses thou. We came down together and people filled their eyes by staring at us. He ignored their looks as he stepped inside the office and so did i. We went to the judge, she was a strict looking woman, anyone would fear her at first glance but absolutely not this man beside me.He looks fearless. She looked at me for a while before looking at him."And if I may ask, why are the both of you here?" Sh
I still couldn't believe my eyes as the door went open leading us to the main room. A mansion was an understatement, it should be called a villa instead.What am I even saying?Of course, this is a villa."You should try to close your mouth so flies won't penetrate inside" Cardo’s voice rang in my ears and my mouth went shut immediately.I took my hands from his and gave him a slight glare but as usual, his face was blank."Where's grandpa?" He asked a maid."In his study room sir" the maid replied and he nodded before looking at me again.“I can’t believe the old man just recovered and he’s back to work so soon” he lamented. A smile crept at the corner of my lips at his level of childishness. It was quite funny. "Come with me" he said and began walking away.'Must he always sound so bosy?' I mumbled inwardly as i followed him.The both of us were finally out of sight but I could see the maid from earlier, from the corner of my eyes still peeping. I guessed should was wondering who

DIAMOND'S POV.I waited for almost thirty minutes before Ricardo arrived. He was the only in the car this time. " Get in!" He said, more like ordered.I was still troubled by the stunt Max pulled and I had no extra time to waste in. I opened the car door with ease this time around, seems like I'm getting the hang of this car. He kicked the engine back to life and drove." Why did you take long?" I asked him when we had driven far." I'm a busy man, Diamond." He said coldly." Where is Derek?"" Should I rather drop you and ask him to come pick you up?" He snapped." It's okay. I thought you don't go anywhere without him." I kept quiet after saying that, I didn't want to irritate him any further. He always had this aura around him, I can't simply place my fingers around it.The next time I spoke again was when I saw him taking a different direction." Where are we going? ""We have to do something about your hair and nails." He said plainly.' I had even forgotten about that yet he noti
Still on Diamond PovWe went to the old man's study hand in hand like the couple we were pretending to be. This was the second time I was entering the study and I took my time to admire the antiques and design of the study.It smelled wealth!" Sit down." Old man O'Brien said and we took our seats opposite him." Grandfather."" What's your honeymoon plan? " The old man suddenly asked." Honeymoon? " I stuttered. ' Well that wasn't part of the deal.'" Grandfather, I just got back. I haven't had the time to think about that."" Why? You guys just got married."" I still have a lot of work to do in the company."" They can hold on. Who does a wedding without an honeymoon?"" Grandfather..... "" I'll set the things up. You'll be leaving for your honeymoon tomorrow. "" What? "" Make sure you have a good time. I expect to hear good news soon."" How long would we be gone?" Ricardo asked after sometime." A week. You may leave." Old Man O'Brien waved his hands...." Ricardo.... " He sto
Ricardo went to the office first thing in the morning while Diamond got ready for their trip with the help of some maids." Get out." Mrs Emily said walking in with a scornful look." Good morning, mother-in-law." Diamond said all smiles." Keep your greetings to yourself." Mrs Emily spat." Sorry ma'am. Do you need something?"" Where is my son?""Oh, he left early for work. He'll be back soon though." Diamond replied." Is he the only one who works?" Mrs Emily glared at her." I'm sorry?"" You heard me perfectly. Don't you work?" She said with a loud voice and Diamond smiled."As a matter of fact, I do. I'm a fashion designer."" Hmmm.."" Is that all you want to know?"" Carry on." Mrs Emily said and left." That was awkward." Diamond said and one of the maids nudged her." No one wants to get on her bad side. She's like a devil." The maid said." No matter what you do, stay clear of the other devil." Another chirped in." Other devil?" Diamond asked confused." You'll get to see h
