A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 102: Curiosity Killed The Tigress
Sapphire's POVIt was a woman. The strange voice on the line belonged to a female. But who? Who on earth could it be and how well did she know me?"How do you know my name?" I managed to croak out, gripping the receiver tighter and staring into blank space."I managed to get your number and leave a note in your wardrobe and you're worried about how I know your name?" The caller replied, her tone smoky and brutal as the harsh reality of her words slapped me on my face. Her voice dripped with a certain mockery that made my skin crawl and made me want to run out of the place. It carried a chilling confidence, as if she held all the cards in this twisted game we were playing. I could also sense a hint of amusement in her tone, it was almost like she was enjoying watching me squirm in discomfort and fear.It was the kind of voice that made you feel small, insignificant, like a pawn in someone else's grand scheme. And yet, there was some sort of vulnerability buried deep within, one that m
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 103: When Truth Comes Calling
Sapphire's POVNo, this can't be.I don't want to believe this.I didn't want to believe that Eric, the man that I loved, was behind the tragedy that struck me and my family five years ago. I didn't want to think that he was responsible for it, for all the suffering I had to endure. For all the times I cried my heart out over the downfall of my family, for all the sleepless nights I had and for all the times I thought I would die from the immense pain I felt.This had to be a sick joke, it had to be a lie. There was no way what this woman was saying was true. I refused to believe it. Why would I believe the words of a complete stranger who seemed like she was after my happiness and peace of mind? Why would I even think for a second that she was telling the truth when she sounded like a maniac looking to destroy me?No, this couldn't be true. I couldn't let myself believe it, not without proof, not without confronting Eric myself. I couldn't accept it. I couldn't let this woman's words
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 104: Goodbye, Eric
Sapphire's POV"Eric...," I called out to him but he refused to meet my gaze.Eric took another step away from me, his body language having shifted from concern to defensiveness. His gaze flickered across the living room, went around everywhere but me, like he was searching for an escape route. His hands fidgeted nervously at his sides, his shoulders tense and hunched as if he were trying to shrink away from the accusation that I'd laid out.He licked his lips and ran his hands through his hair and by this time, I was shivering much more than I was before. Now, I wasn't just terrified. I was terrified out of my wits. I was scared shitless, absolutely petrified. I wanted him to say something, anything at all to refute the accusations, to assure me that it was all just a misunderstanding but no. He remained wordless, his silence speaking volumes about his possible guilt.The tension around us grew heavier and became unbearable, on its way to suffocate me to death. I kept waiting for Eri
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 105: Pain
Sapphire's POVWhat is pain?Pain was what I was going through right now. It was like a thousand needles piercing through my heart, each prick leaving behind a raw, bleeding wound that seemed like it would never heal. It wasn't just physical pain; it was the ache that took over my entire being, a relentless torment that clawed at my soul day and night, leaving me hollow and broken.Pain...It felt like a leaden weight, dragging me down into the darkest and most horrible parts of despair where there seemed to be no glimmer of hope. Every time I took a breath, it was like inhaling shards of glass, jagged and sharp, tearing through my insides and leaving behind a trail of bloody, ragged tears. Pain was waking up every morning to a world that had lost its colour, where everything I once loved now seemed to be painted in shades of grey.I knew pain like an old friend, it always showed up quietly and without warning and left me feeling like an empty shell. An empty shell devoid of happiness
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 106: I Miss Her
Eric's POVIt had been two weeks since Sapphire left me and nothing was the same. I was losing it, I was losing my fucking mind. I couldn't sleep for shit, not even for a minute, my eyes just staring at the ceiling, replaying every damn moment over and over again. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was her face, her beautiful face clouded with anger and hurt.Every single night was a marathon of tossing and turning in the empty bed, the bed that used to bear witness to how crazy in love I was with her. My brain kept buzzing with thoughts of my tigress, her eyes pooled with tears as she hurled that ring in my direction like a missile. Like it was nothing. And damn, did it sting. The disappointment plastered into every line of her beautiful face, that is.I thought about my mistake that led to this. I'd been replaying it over and over in my head, like some sick movie on repeat. The accident. The one that took her brother away and put her sister in a coma. And now she knew it w
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 107: Scalded Hearts
Sapphire's POVMy head was in shambles. It was like someone had put it in a blender and hit the highest setting. I couldn't think straight; everything was spinning, and not in a fun way like a merry-go-round but in a nauseating, disorienting whirlwind that made me want to puke. I felt my own heartbeat pounding through my temples and jolts of pain crashing through my skull.I opened my eyes slowly and it felt like trying to see through fogged-up glasses—everything was fuzzy and blurry, shapes and colours melting into one another in a messy haze. The light filtering in through the window was similar to needles stabbing into my eyes and I let out a little groan, blinking slowly before scanning the place.And then it dawned on me that I was back home...Eric's house. I was in his bedroom, what used to be our bedroom, alone in the bed with no memory of how I ended up there. How did this happen? How did I get here? I wondered, gasping slightly, still feeling an immense ache in my head. I pus
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 108: Trapped By The Monster
Sapphire's POVI sucked in a breath, my heart drumming loud against my ribcage and skipping a beat or two. Eric's statement hung loosely in the air for what felt like a minute before descending on me like a lead balloon. His words resounded in my ear, chilling despite the heat of the soup still lingering on my skin. I felt my blood boil at his audacity. The audacity to think he could control me, dictate my every move.How dare he?"What..." My voice faltered. Suddenly, the room felt smaller, the walls closing in as my chest tightened and dizziness hit me once again. "What did you just say?"Eric's eyes bored into mine, steady and unblinking. There was a weird calmness which had settled in his gaze and his demeanour. He had no right to be calm or at peace for even a split second. Not after what he'd done. He ought to be in constant pain and restlessness for the sins he committed. It bothered me to see him so calm and composed all of a sudden. A monster like him deserved no less."You h
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 109: On The Menu
Sapphire's POV"May I take your order?" I asked, holding a pad and pen, trying to look all professional–like, but honestly, my nerves were like a bunch of monkeys on a sugar rush.The table in front of me had five people and each one seemed to have their own personal grocery list for dinner. Two men, three women, all dressed in their best, fancy watches flashing under the dim lights. The first guy, slicked–back hair like he was straight out of a mafia flick, started rattling off his order as if he was reading Shakespeare."I'll have the lobster bisque but hold the chives, extra cream, not too hot and a sprinkle of gold leaf on top. Then, for my main course, I'll take the wagyu steak, medium–rare, with truffle mashed potatoes, sautéed asparagus and a side of foie gras."I began scribbling his order down in a manner that seemed my whole life depended on it and I wasn't even done yet when the other guy announced his order, his eyes glued to the menu."I'll have the caviar appetizer but s
