Diamonds
The diamond upon her finger glistened under the moonlight on this very warm summer night; as she stood upon the balcony that over looked the sleeping seabed. Her red silk dress hugged her curvy figure that she worked so hard for through her healthy diet and personal fitness trainer.
The corners of her mouth raised as her eyes gazed addictively at the ring. The dreams of her future with her fianc’e - a flash of summer flowers and golden beach strolls…topping up the tan to keep the look her fianc’e comments on everyday.
Candice is a thirty year old business lady - not so much delving into the business herself ; she owns the company of fashion, employing others to run her golden business while she spends most of her time with her equally rich partner - Joe - jewlery stores glistened with rare, and the most expensive diamonds you could wish for.
The couple had been seeing one another for three years before Joe plunged into proposing to Candice. Their world rocked with parties, holidays and fancy dinners with friends and collegues. To top it all off - they purchased a Yacht within the Carrabian Islands.
It was here on the yacht that Joe proposed. The candle lit dinner upon the deck of the vessel was very much romantic. An approaching violinist played a soft tone as the important question slipped from his lips - his eyes drowning within his tears gathering from the happiness swimming through his veins. A few silent minutes as the violinist paused - the ocean tapping gently against the vessel as he waited anxiously, her positive reply like music to his ears. He strolled towards her and embraced her within his arms. The atmosphere a dream like state as they plunged into the deepest kiss. But suddely the dream was soon to end. The violinist reached into his pocket and pulled out a hand gun, and then BANG! a single bullet struck Joe through his heart, his body falling slowly and lying within a pool of blood.
Candice glanced at the violinist, his voice whispering to her ears…’we did it babe.’
Candice stepped over Joe’s lifeless body and embraced the violinist. His arms held her tight before he made his way into the lounge. She looked down at Joe’s body swimming within the pool of blood before making her way to the balcony. The calm ocean under the moonlight a silent witness - a life insurance scam planned by two con-artists - the money to better her business.
Candice held a glass of wine as she glanced at the ring - her mouth raising at the corners. Who now will fall victim to their tedious plans and their greed?
