PROLOGUE
A woman stood in a windowless room, crying. If
others could have seen her, she would lose her
reputation as the hardest, coldest, and cruelest of
her kind. Diamond. That was the name she went by
now. Beautiful as a gem, yet hard as a diamond,
they said.
As she wept, the woman cursed herself for letting
her rival get under her skin like that. Why had he
wanted to make her angry? It was very rude for
anyone of her kind to ask about another's
background. Why had he decided to bring up her
past? Did he want to hurt her with the resurfaced
memories?
The woman had pale skin, white and cold as frost.
She had thin red lips that were made even more so
for the fact that she kept biting her lip. Her hair
was a deep, dark brown, almost black. Her eyes that
had once been dark had now turned completely black.
The woman wore a black choker around her neck. True
to her name, a diamond was placed in the center. A
closer look revealed that this diamond and the
choker itself were surrounded in barbed wire. From
the woman's tough outward appearance and aura of
power, no one would ever guess that she had once
been innocent. Nobody would ever guess she had once
known nothing of what she would become. Not a soul
upon hearing her story would believe her. No one.
