Chapter: River Fairytales and Skinny Dipping (Sapphire and Dom)[Dom's POV | Mature Content]The sweeping sound of water rushing through was our music. Golden sunlight glimmered on us as I sat against a tree, softly caressing Sapph’s auburn curls. She laid against my chest, watching the river run through the rocks. Deep in the woods, you can find a river path. The water pressure is not too high, safe enough to take a dip and swim.We had a picnic mat where we’re sitting. Some baskets stood on the greens for our food. This served as our small weekend getaway after a successful investment in a publishing company. Alpha Corp. is expanding even more, but all I can think about is how I’m happily married to this angel.“I think I wanna take a dip now, Dom.”Sapphire tugged on my arm, brushing on it. I looked at her tenderly, not taking my eyes off her beautiful face.“Alright.” I smirked and stole a kiss on her pink lips. She blushed hit my chest softly.My s

Chapter: EPILOGUEEpilogue- Dom's Point of View -Travis Salvatore wins Championship Cup at Formula-E RomeIt was the headline of an Italian news magazine. I didn't read whatever was there but I focused on the precious photograph of my Sapphire and I after the race. She looked so small in my arms. It's a beautiful moment caught on camera. Something I'd frame on our wall.I glanced back in our bed where she's sleeping. My beautiful angel was fast asleep on our bed, tired. After all, we had along night.The way she moaned my name echoed through my mind as the golden sun rose here in St. Regis. Finally, I'm back in Italy after years..."Dom?" I heard an angel call.

Chapter: Chapter 50: RACE COMPETITIONRace CompetitionThe chopper landed in a helipad in the East River. The water made ripples as the wind from the helicopter blew. I saw a lot of men in black surround the port. We passed them as Dom led me to his black SUV."How did you find me?" I asked in a low voice, when we were finally alone in the car."Mat was there, looking for Lucy Florence. He found you lurking around the fields of Georgebury instead." He drove past the wild streets full of lights and people. I didn't think I would miss New York for a bit, but there's something about its liveliness that I'd always look for.

Chapter: Chapter 49: RUN AWAYRun awaySeveral gunshots flared up. The door flew open and two men appeared. I thought they were part of Caitlyn's men but one of them shot the man trying to get to me. They are here to...save me? My body shook uncontrollably because of all the suddenness, but comfort warmed me when the two men helped me out of the dark room."Let's get you out of here, ma'am."They held my arm and aided me in walking because my ankle is still injured. Every step was pain, but I just imagined it as one step closer to freedom. One step closer to Dom. I just wanna see him, like I'd be safe once I'm in hi

Chapter: Chapter 48: RANSOMRansomWarning: Mentions of sexual abuse, kidnapping, vulgar words, and rape.I was awoken by a smoke of drowsiness floating through my nose, eyes, and ears. Dizziness circled around my senses as my stomach grumbled in a mix of hunger and pain. I don't like this feeling at all. I feel like puking my insides out. My body felt sore for what seems like hours of sitting and my hands were tied on my back with thick layers of rope. My legs too were tied and I had no shoes on.What happened? Where am I?Dark

Chapter: Chapter 47: FLASH FROM THE PASTFlash from the Past"I want to give you the normal life, Sapphire. But I need to protect you." Dom said when I asked about the increase in bodyguards. We were going to their family's ancestral mansion in New York. We had extra security especially after what happened in Dubai. The thought still gives me shivers."This is now my normal life, Dom."He sighed as the driver drove to a farther part of the city. "You know, you're the only one who calls me that now. I like it."What he

Chapter: Chapter 19#CollisionKab19"Austin..." I unconsciously slurred. I woke up, feeling dizzy. Medyo umaalon pa ang paningin ko."Rosie! Thank God!" sabi ni Nic. Worry filled his eyes as he held my hand. He looked at me, a flash of misery reflected on his eyes. Medyo namumula ang mga mata niya ngayon.What...what happened?Kita ko'y nakahiga ako sa isang kama, nakasuot ng hospital gown. Nasa ospital ba talaga ako? Anong nangyari? Pagtingin ko sa aking kamay, may naka-kabit na wiring of some sort. Pati sa ilong ko. I scrunched up my nose, feeling uncomfortable. There's something attached on my index finger too."What happened?" I choked out. Napapaos pa ang boses ko. Kumuha si Nic ng

I tried to keep my face void of any emotion.Ipakita mong matapang ka, Rosie."I suggest you make an appointment first, Mr. Andrada." sabi ko sa kanya. Sinulyapan ko si Austin na bahagyang nakatitig sa kaliwang kamay ko. That's where my engagement ring is placed. Agad siyang nag-iwas ng tingin. His jaw clenched, fists resting on his forehead while sitting on a chair. Nagtagis-bagang ako.Tanaw kong nakatayo malapit sa kanya si Johnson at Ian. Naka-krus ang braso ni Ian habang tumitig sa akin at nakapamaywang naman si Johnson habang may tinitingnan sa cellphone. Ilang beses kaming na-orient sa da
