I was humiliated publicly, and it was not something I could tolerate. I frantically looked around. Everyone seemed to be engrossed in them. I felt the drumming in my chest. Why did my parents encourage me into this marriage just to humiliate me this way? Why?I couldn’t find the right answers to my question. They both broke the kiss, and the two of them unanimously turned to look at me. Just when I opened my mouth to speak, Fiona beat me to it."Hey sister," she said, emphasizing the word 'sister' mockingly.Fiona got to where I stood and then chuckled while eyeing me like some disgusting creature. I simply sniffed and wiped away my tears. She smiled when she saw me do that."Seeing the great diamond this way gives me so much joy!" She laughed, and I gulped uneasily."W..hy me?" I stuttered, staring at the lady in front of me. She smirked and looked at me hatefully with her blue eyes. She and I were not alike. She had blonde hair, and mine was brown and medium-length.She was much sho

Backtrack to a month ago.We were all having breakfast together except Fiona, who just left her meal halfway a moment ago.I will be meeting up with Max in the next hour. I guessed he had planned another surprise date already."How are your wedding plans coming along?" Dad asked after taking a sip from his red wine.I came to a halt, putting down the knife and fork I was using to cut my steak to give my dad my full attention."Everything is fine. Max suggested we send out more invitation cards next week, but I declined. We have invited more people already. I don’t want something grand, just small and simple," I replied, moving my gaze back to my food."Huh?" Mom looked at me, surprised at what I just said."Does the Xander family look like a joke to you? You’re our eldest daughter and the only heir to the Xander empire. Your wedding ought to be in grand style," she said, before turning to face her father, who was sitting next to her."Right, darling?"She asked. "Huh," Dad looked at

Diamond POV The car halted in front of pinky’s apartment. I sigh and turned to look at him. “Thank you!” That’s all I could mutter. I bite on my lower lip as I play with my fingers. “You don’t have to thank me. We both needs each other help” He said and I nodded. He was right. We both needed each other. “I should get going now” “Great. I will come pick you up tomorrow. We’ll be meeting with my family!” He said and my eyes widened. “Y…your family?” I stuttered. Of course I was surprised. We just made a deal. “I don’t have time” He said subconsciously reading my thoughts. “Mmm” I muttered. Do I really have a say? “Fine” That was my respond as I pushed the passenger door opened. “Have a peaceful night” He said. I hummed a respond and came down completely. I watched him drive out before turning to leave. My body froze at who I saw. I couldn’t move as my body went numb. “Diamond!” He called as he frantically walked up to me.

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.

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
