Diamonds Don't Last Like Summer (English)

☼ ◇ ☽ Born into a dynasty of diamonds, Pearl "Suvi" Eurielle Delos Angeles has everything—except freedom. As the beloved granddaughter and daughter of a powerful jeweler family, her life is measured in reputation, profit, and polished perfection. When she is sent to the province for a summer vacation, she expects boredom. Instead, she meets Lucas Ramirez, whose hands are rough with labor and whose heart is untouched by greed. In the quiet fields far from glittering halls, Pearl experiences a love unshaped by status. With Lucas, she is not a Delos Angeles—she is simply a girl in love. But when her family discovers the relationship, they respond with cruelty masked as protection. Lucas is humiliated, threatened, and ultimately left bleeding after a brutal attack meant to erase him from Pearl's life. While Lucas fights for survival, a poisonous lie is planted—convincing him that Pearl only used him for amusement, that their love was never real and wants him dead. Broken in body and spirit, he disappears without a word. Pearl is dragged back into her gilded cage, believing the man she loves now hates her. Five years later, Lucas returns—not as a worker in the farm but as a powerful and wealthy man forged by pain and rage. His goal is no longer love, but revenge. He infiltrates the Delos Angeles empire and begins his most calculated move. As diamonds glitter and old wounds reopen, Pearl is forced to watch the man she never stopped loving destroy her world piece by piece. But revenge has a cost, and when buried truths rise to the surface, both must face a question more painful than hatred. Is love strong enough to survive lies, blood, and the weight of gold?
