Diamond Pov

I have always longed for these two Billy and Claudia love, but seeing them makes me despise the old me, I hate yearning and hoping they give me their love and attention when they took away the most precious thing to me.

Standing in this same house made me understand how much I hate this place, and everything in it, how I want to destroy everything, even the thing I cherished.

"Diamond" Billy called and walked towards and pulled me into a hug which I couldn't reciprocate, my hate for him ran deep.

He moved away when he didn't receive the warmth he expected. "You came, I almost thought you wouldn't" he uttered as he put his hand on my back, leading me to the living room.

"I don't think you will appreciate it if I don't" his expression changed into a smirk, but he said nothing and offered me to sit which I did, Claudia came and joined us, She looked thin compared to the last time I saw her and was putting on big clothes which didn't suit her.

    Xander Mansion Rocky's Pov; This house has been awfully quiet and it is starting to scare me, just joking. But, weirdly, Ricardo didn’t make any move, wasn’t the evidence I planted good enough, I made the maid lie to Mom that she ordered her to plant the listening bug inside the room. And make sure they caught one of those men, by now the guy will give his statement that my mom ordered him to do everything he did. But Ricardo and Diamond look so fucking calm. “It has been two days,” Grandpa says as he munches on his breakfast. “I'm sure you understand what that means?” He asked and looked at Ricardo but he said nothing. “Linda, you should prepare for work. Diamond will be leaving today, I hope you won’t disappoint me” He warned and Mom beamed and gaped at me. I grinned back even though it wasn't genuine, this just felt wrong, is he trying to hide my mom's sin? Ricardo of all people? “But Diamond won’t be leaving tho,” Ricardo said and primed his mouth with a white cloth after h

    Ricardo Pov My jaw dropped at his words, this has been his plan all this while. In your dreams, Diamond is mine and mine alone. I walked back to my room and was confused when I didn't find her in our bedroom, I went inside our wardrobe and found her sitting on the stool, combing her hair as she stared at the mirror. "You are here?" she asked and I came to join her, I collected the comb from her and helped with brushing instead. "How did it go?" She asked but gasped when she saw my red cheeks. "Did he...." She tried to stand her but I sat her back. "I'm fine, this is just a small price to pay for what I did" "But you did nothing wrong, Linda deserves to be punished. I thought he would agree with us on that" "My family is kind of messed up......I realized this ten years ago. My little precious cousin had just killed a girl I liked because he hated that I gave her attention instead of her and instead of my grandpa to hand him over to the police." "He instructed everyone to keep it

    Xander Mansion Billy yelled as he destroyed everything breakable with his golf rod, he had been like for two days, damaging everything. He had taken his frustration and anger on all objects he can find but it was still not enough, it doesn't change anything, he is pissed and this is all because of his company. The empire he had been building for years, crashed down in one day, all their investors had pulled out, and their new works had been rejected all because of one name. 'Ricardo O'Brien' is The cause of his frustration and anger, he wasn't playing when he said he would make him regret it, the bastard has done everything in his power to put him down, it effected him but if he thinks that is all it takes to bring him down then he is joking. This company mightn't be as big as O'Brien's empire, after all, they deal with many things in the industry, but his company won't go down because of something this small, it will only take him weeks or months to recover.

    Diamond Pov: “It is beautiful," I said to Ricardo as we took a step through the busy street with his men a few distances away from us. "Really?" "Yes, it feels like we are on a date. It has been a long since I have been to anything like that, I like this" He smiled immediately and he stopped walking and turned to me. "It must be boring all this while, all I do is work and sex, I haven't been doing anything romantic, I'm so clueless when it comes to stuff like this" “No, I understand that you were busy plus it isn't easy for us to get time to go out. First, it was my accident, I had to rest and recover and then it was this, almost getting removed from the O'Brien Designs. We all have our hands full, and about the sex, I'm not complaining" I blushed and licked my lips while he watched. "Should we start going home?" He asked while I laughed and hit him playfully on his shoulder. "We still have something to do, don't we?" I asked with a deep breath as I reminded him that Liam claime

    Rocky Pov: It has been a day since Mom was arrested, and the house has been hell. Grandpa has tried calling for help in any way he can, but it doesn't seem like she is going out anytime soon. Ricardo means business, and I'm here inside my room keeping my promises to him, but it won't be long before I break it. Edna shows his annoying face here and I want to vomit immediately. "What is it?" "Mom is in prison but you aren't" I scoffed and stood up from my bed. "You can't just hide how much you hate me, what do you mean by that? It is obvious why I can't be in jail, I didn't do anything wrong" Edna chuckled and came closer to me. “You must think you have everyone fooled, but not me. You confessed to me about being involved in the Diamond and Valerie accident, but now you are innocent" "If I can remember clearly, I didn't confess to anything, I only play along with your assumptions, now if you excuse me and get your silly ass out of here" “You must think you have it all planned, bu

    Diamond's Pov; I sighed as I sliced the streak on my plate and put it in my mouth, angry at my husband. I don't understand his sudden change towards Rocky, it is annoying. I'm sure that bastard is involved one way or another, they just didn't look so closely. I'm going to reveal that bastard's true identity, just wait and see. Do you not like the food?" Liam no my father asked after seeing my grumpy mood. No" I dropped the cutlery in my hand and shook my hand in disagreement. "I love the food, it is good" "Really? I'm glad, I have always wanted to buy you food, especially on your birthdays, you always look sad then. I might not be able to, because I will be in prison by then but I'm glad I got to do something with you" My shoulder dropped and guilt washed over me. That's right, he has to pay for his crime, I want to be selfish and asked to stay with me but I can't. He has to be paid for what he did, especially for the sake of the people he hurt.

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

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.

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

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.
