Diamond Series #2
Zalea is the life of the party. Loud, fun, effortlessly adored - she's the one everyone wants to know, to befriend, to love. Being the youngest and only girl of the richest clan in the country, surely comes with good and bad sides. The good side: she can have everything she wants. The bad side: they envy her and the pressure of being a Laxamana.
Among the cousins, she has the widest social circle, the wildest stories, and the brightest spark. The spotlight will always be on her.
But for all her charm, Zalea avoids two things at all costs: relationships and commitment. Love, for her, has always been a game... until it wasn't.
She never meant to fall. Not again. Not after the betrayal that nearly broke her. And lastly, she never meant to fall for him.
But unexpectedly... love lit a fire she couldn't ignore.
What happens when the playgirl turned out be a lover girl? What happens when she decided to give love a try again after the betrayal?
It wasn't reckless this time-it was real. The kind of love that softened her edges and ignited her passions. The kind of love that made her better and inspired her. Until life did what it does.
The flame that once burned with warmth faded into quiet embers - and the girl who once burned so brightly was left in the dark.
What happens when the love she used to burn for, burned her?
Now, Zalea must face the ashes of what once was. Can she ever find the spark she lost - the version of herself she loved most when she was with him? And when he returns, will love be enough to reignite what was lost... or will the embers finally burn out?
