Diamond's PovIt has been a week since we came back from the Maldives, and Ricardo has been making preparations for me to start as the new head of O'Brien Designs, which made him unavailable.I hardly see a glance of him these days, and it has been the same with Rocky. He is always where Ricardo is, which is so strange.I have been in contact with Pinky on the phone which has been keeping me busy, and I'm now at a cafe to meet her.I waved at her the moment I saw her entering the cafe, she beamed and walked to me, we hugged, disengaged, and took our seats."I missed you so much. I can't believe I didn't see you for so long," she giggled, hitting the table while I smiled."You are right, I missed you too. But why did you decide to meet here instead of your home?"Her smile and excitement disappeared immediately and it made me nervous. "Max, he won't stop coming to my place, demanding to see you. I don't want you to bother about a jerk like him."But Pinky, isn't that discomforting you?
Xander's family........."Fiona?! Fiona?!! where the fuck are you?!" Max yelled as he entered the house, he was fuming with anger. His mind couldn't fully process what Diamond told him, if she didn't cheat on him then did Fiona lie to him? He had to hear from her himself.At Max's screams both Fiona and her mother came running from their dressing room. Fiona was dressed in a plain black party gown and her mother was in a blue gown with lace at the end."Max!" Fiona called excitedly and ran to hug him, but he pushed her away the moment she came close to him."What is the meaning of this?" Claudia yelled, trying to interfere but Fiona stopped her."Is something wrong, my dear?" Fiona asked searching Max's eyes trying to find out the cause of the behavior change."Your dear? Please cut the joke. Did you lie about Diamond's affair? Did you trick me into marrying you?" Max asked, his eyes red with anger."What?" Fiona gasped as her body trembled, how did he know? Did he know everything alre
DIAMOND POV“You ready?”"Sure husband," Ricardo was startled for a moment and tried to hide his cute blush, but he composed himself and we both entered the party hall.The hall was so big and splendid, the floor looked like a pure golden floor and the chandelier looked expensive too. I've always heard how glamorous the O'Brien parties were, but now that I was seeing it, its reputation was worth it.Every eye was on us as we stepped inside, which was scary, they were eager to see who Ricardo was since he had never shown his face to the media and the public. There were many rumors about him, that he was ugly or he had a scar which was the reason he hid behind a mask. Now they know differently. Every woman in the hall had a dreamy look on their face staring at my husband. I couldn't blame them, he was the most handsome man I had ever laid my eyes on too.I looked around for my family and it was so easy to find them, Fiona looked like she could take a break right now. She had this confuse
Diamond POV "What, this party is for me?" "Yes, he didn't tell you? Our O'Brien Ball is usually at the end of the year, but it came early this year because he wants to show off. Grandpa was against it, Mom too, but he didn't care." "Yes, Ricardo said this party will be all about you. He planned it like that that's why you've been receiving so much attention. Those attentions should have been spent somewhere else if you ask me," Edna added. He did this for me, yet I kept doubting his sincerity. "Thank you, guys," I said and walked towards where my husband was with a couple. "Darling," I called and he stared at me with a blush on his cheeks. Seriously when will he get used to this? "Oh, Mrs O'Brien, we were just about to ask Ricardo to introduce you to us, I'm Lucky Youngling by the way and this is my gorgeous wife, Blake Youngling," The man said as he extended his hand for a handshake, I took it and gave his wife a peck as a gesture. "You are such a beautiful young lady, Mr. O'Br
He looked so scary that Fiona had to move back and I gulped down. "I just....." She stammered while Ricardo moved toward me, he looked at me and pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry, I should have just come with you instead. Did that bitch hurt you?" He asked but I just pulled into him, tightening our hug instead, I was really scared. And I felt safe in his embrace. Fiona had always gotten everything she wanted, but this time I wouldn't give in without a fight. I collected my wits and pulled away from our hug, I stared up at Ricardo and he stared at me with nothing but happiness on his face. "Max," Fiona called and moved to hug him but he pushed her away and gave her a slap which shocked me. 'What is going on?' I thought to myself while Ricardo whispered to me, that they heard every single thing we said and I gasped. "You got me there, I believed you but all you did was ruin my life, you stupid bitch." "What are you on about?" Fiona questioned holding her cheeks with her bloody hand
Diamond's Pov I licked my lips as Ricardo separated my legs, he growled at the sight of my underwear and the wet spot covering my core. He closed his eyes and took a heavy whiff of my essence. "You smell nice," he said looking straight into my eyes. "I wonder if you taste as good as you smell." I shivered, anxious at his words, is he going to do it? Is he going to taste me? I gasped as he kissed my thigh, trailing his wet kisses from my outer thigh to my inner thighs. I shivered with anticipation, gooseflesh breaking on my body as he got closer to the entrance of my sex. I whined in disappointment as he skipped my panty-covered mound to move to my other thigh. Once again he trailed wet kisses up my thigh while watching me in the eye. I was enraptured by his brilliant eyes as he planted kisses on me, teasing me. While I enjoyed his kisses, his tease left me burning with feverish desire. An itch that needed to be scratched and I was running out of patience. I planted my hand on his
Diamond pov When Ricardo and I got out of the garden we found Darion already waiting with the limousine. I was quite surprised at the speed of Ricardo's assistant but I appreciated it. Ricardo may have satisfied me momentarily but I still have a need to satisfy and it was fueled by my desire to provide Ricardo with as much pleasure as he'd provided me. "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien," Darion greeted with a slight tilt of the head. "Good evening Darion," I said to the man. "Darion, I called you because I need your help, I need you to get us home as soon as possible," Ricardo implored his assistant. "Consider it done sir," Darion said as he opened the door for us to enter. As soon as we entered I jumped on Ricardo, claiming his mouth, grinding on him, my tongue in his mouth dueling with his. I moaned in his mouth, enjoying the heat of our kiss. We soon pulled away from each other, panting, breathless from the kiss. Our hiatus from each other let us know that the limo was now o
Diamond's Pov It was already late into the night when I woke up, Ricardo wasn't next to me which was so strange, so I decided to go look for him. The whole house was quiet so I thought everybody was asleep. I saw no sign of Ricardo or anyone downstairs, not the maid or any member of the family. My breath seized when I saw Rocky coming out from the kitchen, he had something with him which he quickly hid from me as he thrust it into the pocket of his pants. "Diamond, I wasn't expecting you to be awake," Rocky said with a leery smile. I and Rocky haven't crossed paths for some time, but I still remembered what Valerie told me. "Yeah," I said and wanted to move forward, but he blocked my path and I moved back out of fear. Rocky gave me a confused look but then started laughing. Now, it was my turn to be confused. "Did Valerie tell you to avoid me? Let me guess, don't tell your secret to Rocky, he is going to use it to torment you." He laughed again while I cleared my throat, I wondere
EPILOGUE"Mama!" One year old Carson ran to the kitchen, tugging at Diamonds long blue gown. She stared down and let out a loud scream when she saw his state. His face was filled with milk, his dress was stained too."Carson !!!" She screamed in frustration and he giggled. He clicked his tongue before letting out a smile, showing off the few teeth in his little mouth."I'm gonna spank your little buttocks!" She left what she was doing and ran after him. She ran around with his little leg, his giggles filling the kitchen.He hadn't taken more than five steps when Carson caught up with him. She carried him in her arms and pinched his nose slightly."You're so naughty!" She laughed while he smiled in return. She looked at his messy hair before heaving a deep sigh, then she walked out of the kitchen. Her eyes widened when she saw the living room, it was messy and she pinched the bridge of her nose. To worsen it all, Carson was already playing with her hair, tugging it hard."Carson!!!" Sh
Diamond relaxed in the huge jacuzzi, enjoying the warm water against her skin. They had returned from the hospital that evening and the Doctor had promised to do his best in saving her.Cardo had gone over to his place and he already called to tell her he was on his way. Diamond inhaled the scent of the foamy water in her hand and smiled satisfactorily. Her eyes were still closed."Having a great time, wifey?" Her eyes opened slowly and she smiled when she saw Cardo in the jacuzzi before her. She could tell that he was also naked as he was shirtless."You're back" she whispered. Cardo grinned before pulling her to himself. He turned her body to his so that her back was facing him. Then, he placed his arms around her stomach, caressing it softly.Diamond rested her head on his chest, smiling in nothing but satisfaction. Was this how it feels to be loved? If it is, then she doesn't want to come out. Never!"How did you know?" Her voice came out in a whisper. She felt his cold lips on h
"Valeria!!!" Diamond screamed happily when they entered the ward to find him feeding Valeria. She rushed to the bed and pushed him out of the way, earning a giggle from Valeria. He frowned before moving away. He went to Cardo."Who sent the spy?" He asked. "Rocky"Cardo replied and he cursed. It was as though he knew it. He asked Valeria how the accident happened and she explained that she was hit with a car. He knew instantly that it was his doing."That bastard. Wait till I set my eyes on him, I'mma cut his head off" he growled."Val, I was so worried!" Diamond cried as she held Valeria's hand."I was scared, I thought we lost you," she whispered. "Lost me? Oh no, that's not possible! I still want to know what happened during your date, yunno?" Valeria wiggled her brows teasingly."So, tell me..." She leaned towards Diamond ears and whispered."Did you wear the lingeries?" She asked. Diamond laughed before nodding her head.Valeria gasped, her eyes shone in excitement."Then... Di
"I LOVE YOU"Diamond felt a sudden wave of emotions rush through her when she heard the words she was least expecting. Her cries reduced but her low whimpers could be heard as her face was still buried on his firm chest."I love you," he whispered again but this time louder, clearing her doubts. She had thought she was hearing things when he repeated his words, this time louder than the first."Cardo" she moved out of his hold to stare at him. His dark green eyes probed hers gently, his eyes were soft but she could feel pure desire behind it."Beautiful" his voice was husky as he got a grip of her shoulder. He titled his head slightly to the right and pressed his lips on her neck, passing his tongue through the soft flesh."Handsome," she held his shoulder, her lips slightly parted. They were still under the shower and her nîpples hardened against his chest."I'm sorry for making you cry, baby. I know I deserve a hit but please, forgive this filial husband of yours," he murmured again
He flung the door open violently and entered in a rush. There, he met the love of his life, sleeping peacefully. There was Oxygen on her nose but the continual beeping of the machine made him relaxed a bit."Baby," his tears fell. This time, a happy and sad one. But, his happiness was larger than his sadness. She is alive! His woman is alive!"Valeria!!" That was Diamond scream. She left Cardo and rushed to the bed, getting a hold of Valeria's warm hand."Val..." She whispered, sniffing gently. This wasn't how she pictured their meeting to be. She had pictured Valeria teasing her about the honeymoon, asking if she wore her lingeries she packed for her.But now, she was on a sick bed, struggling to stay alive. Diamond shook her head and broke down into tears."Wake up, Val. I still need you to tease me, I want to hear you scolding me all the time. You're the first friend I ever have when I came into the mansion , please don't leave me" she cries. Cardo walked to her and held her should
"Do you know what this is?" Diamond showed him the piece of paper in her hand. Cardo was eating, he refused at first but after a lot of persuasion, he was finally eating it."What?" He collected it from her and glanced through it. His eyes widened after reading it."Where did you get these from?" He asked slowly, his eyes slowly turning into a dangerous one."I don't know. He was rushing off and... He seems to be in a hurry," Diamond said."Cardo, you need to see this!" Drake went to Cardo. He showed him the paper and He chuckled.... An evil one."I knew it. There's a spy," he shook his eyes. He stood up and left the table. Diamond went to cover the flask and then packaged it together."Spy? Who would dare betray you?" She asked, walking to him."Someone is selling our company information out" He informed her. Diamond gasped."Wh... What?""We're having a hard time, Diamond. Our company might go down at this rate," Drake went further and Diamond’s eyes widened like saucers."Go down?"
Rocky's POV I chuckled after overhearing Diamond and Valerie's conversation. So, this is Grandpa's plan. I didn't expect him to do anything, but I also didn't expect him to go this far. If Diamond gets pregnant, then his plan is brilliant. If he succeeds, then I won't be able to intervene. It is a good plan, and I could tell Mom supported them, winning her trust back will slightly be possible. If Grandpa proceeds with his plan, I will lose everything, I have to stop it from happening. But how? It isn't like I can kidnap Diamond and stop her from doing it. Everyone will surely know I'm the one, but why can't I? I don't need to kill to stop her, there are many ways to stop her” I said with a grin. I picked up my phone and dialed a number. “Hello, I need you to do something for me” Diamond’s Pov My mind was completely occupied getting out of the car, I’m meeting the doctor today and I can’t stop feeling scared. I have to be careful so the press won’t get wind of what is going on
Diamond’s POV My heart raced as I sat amidst the O'Brien. It had been over a week since Ricardo's accident and a few days since Malcolm's absurd words. It seemed like he was starting to move forward from it. Rocky, Edna, Valerie, and I gathered in the living room, waiting for Malcolm to arrive while Emily was at the hospital taking care of Ricardo. "It feels like a long time since we've all been together like this," Rocky commented with his usual grin, he has been like that since Ricardo's accident. Tension rose as we all sat in the living room, he has been a total douchebg for the past two weeks, causing friction within the company, with half of the board members on his side. His motive is as clear as the day, and today's meeting is to stop him. On the other side, there is someone who has been getting on my nerves apart from Rocky and that is Edna. His recent avoidance of Valerie and me, coupled with frequent association with Rocky, raises concerns. Edna is grappling with somethin
Rocky pov My head was disoriented after leaving my crime scene, it has been hours since the incident but I still can’t get it out of my head. “I killed Ricardo, killed him” I looked at my hand and I could still see the bloodstained, Ricardo's blood on me. I couldn’t go back to the O’Brien estate, I had to go to one of the apartments given to my mom. My man took care of the situation but I made a call about Ricardo's situation. The police haven’t come to ask for my statement yet, but that only means Grandma is doing everything he can not to make it public, which works in my favor. I needed to get his blood off me, I ran to the restroom, removed all my clothes, and turned on the shower, I watched as the water cleaned all the blood, after a while I off the shower and went to look at myself in the mirror but was puzzled to see the blood all over my body. “No” I yelled and angrily punched the mirror, it cracked into two but the blood didn’t disappear. I heard the door open and wrapped
