Harlow smirked as she watched the three women pale at Charlotte’s final decree.

"Garth, Lia, and Claudia will be Harlow’s maids for a week." Charlotte declared.

George’s face twisted in anger. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "How can you say that, Grandma? My mother will never serve this girl," he sneered, his voice thick with disdain.

Charlotte’s sharp gaze met his. "That was the agreement," she reminded him coolly. "You personally asked me not to get involved, and I haven’t. Your mother and sisters did this to themselves."

George knew she was right. He hated it, but he couldn’t argue against it. The rules were the rules, and his mother and sisters had only themselves to blame.

Without a word, Garth turned on her heel and stormed out, Lia and Claudia following closely behind her. George lingered for a moment, his jaw clenched as if debating whether to say something to Harlow. freewёbnoνel.com

But then, his gaze flickered to the silent man seated in the corner.

Alanis.

He hadn’t spoken a word throughout the entire ordeal, but George knew better. Alanis wouldn’t let anyone disrespect his wife.

Swallowing his rage, George gritted his teeth and left.

Silence filled the room for a moment before Charlotte turned back to Harlow, a flicker of admiration in her eyes.

"For a moment there I thought you were in trouble." Charlotte laughed and Harlow smiled. She knew her Charlotte was still in there somehow. She only wish the old woman would recover quickly.

"Not when I have evidence against them." Harlow said.

Charlotte seemed impressed with Harlow, only one woman had taken down Garth and her daughters without even trying too hard.

"Have you two had anything to eat? Come, let’s eat together," Charlotte said suddenly, already making her way toward the dining room.

Harlow and Alanis followed, the tension from earlier fading as the evening continued.

The day passed quickly, but Harlow’s mind never stopped working.

She needed the perfect punishment for the pests who had tried to frame and humiliate her.

And as she thought about the past, the way they had punished and killed her, an idea took shape.

A slow smile curled her lips.

That would be the perfect revenge.

The next morning, Harlow and Alanis prepared for the most anticipated event of the season, the diamond auction and competition.

First, the competition.

Then, the best diamond of the night would be auctioned off to the wealthiest people in all of Halkhalls.

This was her night. Her biggest dream come through.

Harlow had carefully chosen the guest list. She knew exactly who would be in attendance. Tonight, the world would finally see the Diamond Queen.

Tonight, people would finally learn the truth...

The mysterious new diamond company that had dethroned the Blackwood Diamond Company in just one month?

It was hers.

The Blackwoods had ruled the industry for years, but they had become complacent, repeating their old designs, losing the spark that once made them great.

Now, they would face the consequences.

Seated before her dressing mirror, Harlow picked up the final jewel resting on the table. They were each pieces of diamond jewel specially made for her.

Diamonds was her life now.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror as she fastened the necklace around her neck. A soft smile hanging on her lips.

In her past life, she had aged quickly, stressed, desperate, chasing something that had never been meant for her.

But in this life?

Everything came to her naturally. Including the man who had once hated her.

Harlow raised two fingers and the maid standing behind her moved forward. "Yes ma’am."

"Pick those dresses on the floor and send them to my mother in law. Tell her I want them to go out with me this evening and only in those outfit." The maid bowed a little, before picking up the clothes at a corner and stepping out of the closet.

At the same time, the closet door opened and Alanis stepped in.

For so long, he had been her trophy. Now, she was his.

He stopped in his tracks the moment he saw her. Harlow looked nothing short of an angel descending from the heavens.

The deep green gown she wore shimmered under the soft light, the diamonds draped over her body sparkling like stars in the night sky.

She didn’t just wear diamonds. She was a diamond. His diamond.

Alanis exhaled slowly, his gaze locked onto her. "You look breathtaking," he murmured, his voice lower than usual. A rare, teasing smile played on Harlow’s lips. "You’re not looking bad yourself."

For the first time since they had reunited, she had complimented him.

Alanis couldn’t stop staring.

Her perfect eyes, her beautiful face, the way her lips were slightly parted... How had he never noticed before?

How had he been so blind in the past? Hell, he didn’t even know this woman has red hair before.

He wanted to ask her why she had changed so much. But deep down, he already knew the answer and he felt ashamed.

Slowly, he reached out, his thumb brushing against her cheek. Playing with her delicate skin.

He wanted to tell her he was losing it. That she was driving him crazy without even trying.

That she had turned him into a madman, desperate for the love she had once shoved in his face...

The love he had never valued.

Every single day, he wished his stupid past self hadn’t been too proud to admit his feelings for her. Because there was no pain worse than loving someone so much and not being loved back.

And knowing they were right in front of you, yet still so far away.

"Are you done?" he asked softly.

Harlow met his gaze in the mirror. "What does it look like?"

Without waiting for his response, she stepped past him and walked toward the door. The moment she reached it, she let out a slow, shaky breath.

Her skin felt hot.

She needed to get out of here before she did something reckless. She had no idea why this man still had this much hold on her without even doing too much. But she will never let her silly feelings win.

It wasn’t long before Alanis stepped out of the closet too and was ready to escort his wife for her important event too.

When he reaches the lounge... "What is this Harlow. I have an important event to attend and you want me to wear a maids clothes." Claudia screamed at her sister. Tonight was a special night, for tonight she would be meeting the diamond queen and could not afford to embarrass herself tonight.

Claudia has been looking up to their collaboration for more than a week now. Frank was depending on herz the entire Blackwood diamond company were depending on her and Harlow wants her to show up in a maids dress?

"So?" Harlow responded nonchalantly.
