The Diamond Was Never Yours

I’m Chloe. Daughter of the richest man in the world.

I spend money like water. To stop me from blowing his fortune, my dad put me on a strict allowance.

But right before my engagement party, he made an exception. Handed me a black card. Told me to pick out my own wedding jewelry.

I went straight to Manhattan. To the most exclusive, biggest rough diamond trading center in the US.

Because real top-tier jewels? You don’t just buy them. You bid for them in blood.

I spotted a flawless rough pink diamond. It had this faint, perfect glow.

Just as I picked it up, smack!
