A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 84: A Beautiful Morning
Sapphire's POV"Good morning, Ethan!" I chirped, smiling and strolling into the living room, my hands tugging at my dress.Ethan lifted his gaze from his phone and smiled back at me. "Good morning, Sapphire," he replied, eyed me for a moment and then added, "I see someone's in a pretty good mood.""Well, I sure am," I told him, my smile widening into a grin as I twirled around and then settled onto the large, plush sofa opposite him. My cheeks held a hint of blush and my eyes were shimmering with the same joy bubbling in my heart.Ethan laughed a little and then took a sip of his coffee. "Come on, spill the beans, Sapphire. What's got you all sunshine and rainbows today?""Sunshine and rainbows?""Yeah, you're looking so giggly and happy. I don't think I've ever seen you like this in the morning. Are you gonna let me in on your secret or what?""Oh, Ethan, if only you could guess!"Ethan's eyebrows shot up in mock surprise. "Guess, huh? Alright, let me think." He tapped his chin drama
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 85: Mysteries, Kisses And Brotherly Teases
Sapphire's POVI looked up at Eric, my curiosity igniting like fireworks on the Fourth of July, excitement rumbling inside of me with the force of a geyser. "Going out? Where to?""It's a surprise, tigress," he whispered, his breath a warm caress against my ear."A surprise, huh?" I chirped, slightly wiggling free in his grip and trying to look him in the eye.Eric's response was a chuckle, deep and hearty, a sound that sent my heart into acrobatic flips within the confines of my chest."Absolutely," he confirmed. His voice was a sweet blend of mystery and promise, a low rumble that danced down my body. "Something special, just for you."Eric always had a knack for planning the most unexpected surprises and taking me unaware. Each time he said we were going out, it meant we were about to make memories that would last a lifetime or we were going to be greeted with drama. And the smirk he had on his face right now, the all–knowing, mysterious smirk that drove me crazy in all the right w
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 86: Oops, I Forgot My Phone... And Found A Secret
Sapphire's POVEric's words just lit me up inside. They filled me with this deep, overwhelming love, making me feel like no matter what he had up his sleeve, as long as we were side by side, it was going to be epic. The impact was so intense, the kind that makes you feel you can handle whatever is thrown your way. That as long as you're both in it together, it's gonna be something worth remembering.Today could turn out to be a day we'd never forget or just another one of our crazy, drama-packed escapades that didn't exactly go the way we thought it would. Whether it was going to be epic or didn't go as planned, it didn't really matter. I didn't care.What mattered was Eric and I being together and making the most of the time we spent with each other. Because, at the end of the day, it was all about us, about creating those memories together, about learning and growing and loving each other, even when things were far from perfect.And heaven knew I loved this man more than words could
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 87: Best Day Ever
Sapphire's POVWhen Eric had said that I was going to love what he had in store for me, he was so right. His smile that hinted at an adventurous, fun-filled day hadn't lied at all. I was having a blast and I couldn't believe how packed our day was. Unlike the other times, we'd been out together, this time felt different, the good kind of different. The best even.Because it didn't seem like he was just taking me out to show off how rich he was or to make a bold statement. It didn't make me feel like he was only doing it out of an obligation he felt he had to fulfill. No, this time around, it genuinely felt like he wanted to spend quality time with me. This time, it felt personal. He wanted to make up for what he'd done. He wanted me to have the time of my life, to see me smile and laugh genuinely. And I did, more than I had ever done with him.We started off with breakfast in this cute little diner that was so hidden away I was pretty sure I'd need a treasure map if I were ever to fin
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 88: Note In My Wardrobe, Skeletons In His Closet
Sapphire's POVWe'd gotten off the ferris wheel and we were on our way to our ride when I brought up the topic. I fumbled in my purse, my fingers brushing past my phone, a pack of gum and finally landing on the crumpled piece of paper that had been haunting my thoughts ever since I found it this morning. I pulled it out and slowly unfolded it. I felt Eric's eyes watching me intently, curious to know what I was about to show him. I peered at him and hesitated for a moment, taking in a deep breath.There was something about the whole thing that felt off. The fact that someone would go through the trouble of leaving such a note in my wardrobe of all places was really mind–boggling. Who could've done such a thing? Obviously someone who had access to our bedroom. And why now? The timing couldn't be more suspicious.Eric and I were finally getting back to a good place and then this. It was like someone, somewhere, didn't want us to be happy. And that someone has got something on Eric. I was
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 89: Prank!
Sapphire's POV"I killed someone.""I killed someone.""I killed someone."Eric's voice echoed in my head, whelming my brain and clouding it. I froze for a while, unable to feel my legs or even blink. It felt like the whole world came to a standstill just to listen to Eric's confession. Everything became blurry to me. I could only hear my own loud breathing and his words resounding in my ears.Eric killed someone. My Eric was a murderer?This was a lot to take in. It was just too much. My mind paced back and forth, trying to piece together the Eric I knew with the Eric who stood before me, confessing to a crime as serious as murder. My stomach tied itself into knots, my head spun for a moment and I felt like I might throw up any second. This couldn't be true. Not Eric.The man I...cared for deeply. How could he have done such a thing? I knew he could be such a volatile and complicated person sometimes but murder? That was way too much. How could he have done something so...permanent?
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 90: Riding High
Sapphire's POVWith Eric's belt gone, I unzipped and unbuttoned his jeans to bring out his glorious, exquisite pleasure pole, warm and veiny as always. I gripped his pants and pushed it down his waist a little, letting his cock fully emerge. I lick my lips and send him a sly smile before kissing him softly and straddling him. He held my waist and I grabbed the scruff of his neck.I pushed Eric to lean backwards against the seat and watched with my flickering eyes how his eyes turned darker and greedier as I mounted him. Slowly, I slid my wet hole around his cock, sheathing him with my tight walls like they were made to swallow him whole. The way his girth fit was just beyond amazing, slightly hurting at first but I was so ready to go wild with him and I wasn't going to hold back.I raised my hips that only his bulbous head was lodged in my hole and I moaned when I slammed back down, crashing on his groin. God! What a sensation! He felt so good inside of me. Every time with him felt li
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 91: Miracle Money
Sapphire's POV"I just got off the phone with the doctor. He told me my sister's outstanding bills have been settled and that a huge amount of money was also deposited for her continued care," I informed Eric who was busy working on a presentation for Donovan Group.Apparently, he was running D'Writers and had also begun working in his family's company in order to get acquainted with it or whatever it was that he said. He had a massive presentation coming up in a week's time and he'd been working nonstop. He'd been glued to his laptop for what felt like forever, barely taking breaks, just munching on whatever snacks I brought him and gulping down endless cups of coffee.I continued in a high–pitched tone, "And by huge amount of money, I mean five million dollars, Eric! Someone anonymously donated five million dollars to her treatment fund—her continuous life support, surgeries, periodic diagnostic tests, the latest neurostimulation treatments, everything!" Eric's fingers froze mid–ta

A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 130: The Dawn Of Serenity
Sapphire’s POV“I’ll never be yours,” I spoke defiantly, hiding every hint of fear in my voice. “Never.”“Oh but you already are,” Ethan responded, sniffling on my hair and twisting the gun against my head like it was about to bore a hole inside. “Whether you like it or not, you belong to me now. Eric can’t do anything about it. Isn’t that right, Eric?”Eric snarled, moving forward, “Ethan—”“Careful, bro. I thought I made it clear that if you try anything stupid, your tigress will pay for it. You wouldn’t want me to paint the walls with her blood now, would you?”Eric stood still but the fury in his eyes was unmatched by anything I’d ever seen before. He knew he was trapped, forced to play by Ethan's rules to keep me safe. Ethan was relishing in his power, revelling in the control he had over both of us. The son of a bitch held all the cards right now to his sick game.“Hang in there, tigress,” Eric told me in a softer voice, “I promise we’ll both walk out of here together. I’m takin
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 129: The Sons of Edgar Donovan
Sapphire’s POV “Going somewhere?” I looked up at Eric who was getting ready to head out. “Yeah,” he answered, peering into the mirror and fixing his shirt. He was wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of black pants. His hair was wet from the shower he had not quite long ago. He grabbed his leather jacket from the back of the chair and shrugged into it, zipping it halfway. The material creaked softly as he moved and his rich cologne filled the room. “Where are you off to?” I asked, sitting up on the bed and watching him. “Just going to meet with some contacts,” Eric replied, flashing me a quick smile. “I’ve got some important stuff to take care of.” “By this time? It’s almost 10.” “I won’t be long, I promise.” “Be careful,” I mumbled. Eric turned to me and shot me a warm smile. “Always am, tigress,” he cooed, crossing the room to plant a kiss on my forehead. I watched him as he grabbed his keys and wallet from the dresser, tucking them into his pocket before heading towards the
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 128: Gone For Now
Sapphire’s POVI struggled so hard underneath the monster, trying to get him off me but all my efforts were futile. He was a whole lot stronger than me, pressing his body harder on mine, his lips grazing neck. I screamed and squirmed, flashes of that night he violated me whelming my brain.Ethan didn’t relent. He groaned in my ear, kissing my neck hungrily and rubbing his erection against my core. His breath washed my body whole with filth and disgust and I wanted to throw up at that point. The bitter, foggy memories of that night were replaying in my head as Ethan tried to have his way with me again.“Let me go!” I cried, struggling still, hoping and praying that someone out there would hear and come to my rescue.Where are those stupid bodyguards when you need them? Where’s Eric when you need him?I had to do something to get myself out of this. I had to break free and run away. I couldn’t let him do it all over again. I would never look at myself the same way ever again if I didn’t
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 127: The Monster Within
Sapphire’s POVEthan took a step forward, the usual calm and friendly look on his face completely gone. His eyes went dark and he pressed his lips into a grim thin line, his brows furrowing slightly.“It was you!” I screamed, angry tears spilling in a split second as I clutched my panties tighter and stepped backwards, heading for the door. “You…you..raped me!”He was quiet, deadly quiet and something like anger flashed in his eyes. He looked different, like a completely different person. The stare he gave me was frosty and sharp; the kind a psychotic criminal gave after being exposed.I didn’t wait for him to say another word and didn’t demand any explanation from him even though the whole thing was puzzling and mind-boggling. In a flash, I turned towards the door and raced for it. But Ethan beat me to it. He blocked my path and locked the door before shoving the keys in the back pocket of his sweatpants.“Leaving so soon?” He asked, a devilish smirk now imprinted on his face.“Open
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 126: Startling Finds
Sapphire’s POVEric had still not come home yet. I was still up, waiting for him and it was already very late. My eyes darted at the huge clock in the living room, my hands gripping my phone tightly. It was a little over 9pm and I’d been calling him for that past one hour but couldn’t get through to him. Perhaps his phone was down. I wished he’d come home soon.He’d given me specific instructions to stay put and not go to the hospital to look for him. I was intent on listening to him this time. I didn’t want him getting all worked up again about how stubborn I was so I waited patiently, glancing at my phone occasionally and listening for the sound of his car driving in.I had been waiting all evening to hear the latest update regarding Patricia. I hadn’t got any information about her condition and what state she was in but from the looks of things, she might not make it. She’d lost a lot of blood when I’d gotten there the previous night and she had more than two stab wounds.I didn’t
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 125: Deathbed
Eric’s POVThese past few months had been fucked! I had never seen anything like it. It had been from one fucking problem to the other, day in, day out, with no breathers, no breaks and no end in sight. What the hell was going on? The universe must love playing horrible games with us.First, Sapphire and I split up for months after she found out about the accident which I believed all my life I was responsible for when in reality, my sick mother was behind it all. And up until now, we still had no idea who’d called Sapphire to feed her with all of that bullshit of me conniving with my mother to kill her siblings.Secondly, my wife got raped after we were back together and like that wasn’t terrible enough, she got knocked up in the process. The bastard who did it was still on the run. She made up her mind to keep the baby, another blow to my face. It almost broke us apart and then she lost the baby, thanks to Patricia. I felt like shit at first when we thought Sapphire had a miscarriag
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 124: Caught In The Bloodied Web
Sapphire’s POVI glanced down at my body. I was covered in Patricia’s blood and the footsteps were getting closer. I swallowed, cold sweat dripping out of my pores. If anyone saw me here like this, they’d think I stabbed her. I had to get out of here and fast. I got up and headed quickly for the door but I stopped dead on my tracks when someone walked in.Oh no! I was too late.“Sapphire? What the…?”“Eric?” I was relieved for a moment. It was just Eric. Surely, he wouldn’t think that I had anything to do with this. Or would he?I went over to him, my hands trembling, my voice shaking and my breathing heavy. “Eric…I…I… P…P…Patricia.”Eric gave me a hard once-over, his eyes trailing over the blood on my clothes and then darting towards Patricia’s seemingly lifeless body lying on the cold marble floor. He had an unreadable expression but his gaze was fierce and hard that I feared the worst.I didn’t know what I was expecting exactly. Perhaps I thought he’d begin with the interrogation,
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 123: The Devil Meets Her Doom
Sapphire’s POV“Mrs Donovan,I’m terribly sorry that you had to find out this way. I should at least have the guts to face you and say this but I don’t. And I’m even sorrier for what I did to you and for the pain I caused you. I never intended to do it. I was forced into it. As you know, the love a mother has for her child can be overwhelming and compelling; hence I did what I had to do.I’m not saying any of this to excuse my actions, for you to take pity on me or even consider forgiving me. I don’t deserve your forgiveness and I’ll carry the burden of what I did to you for the rest of my life. A week ago, I had told you and the others that my little boy was very ill and so I took a leave. But that was a lie.My son was kidnapped and they told me the only way to get him back was if I did the unthinkable-kill your baby. I didn’t want to do it but I had no choice. They threatened to kill my son. The day before I left, I laced your tea with an undetectable poison the kidnappers gave me
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 122: Farewell To Motherhood
Sapphire’s POV“I’m sorry but she lost the baby.”The doctor’s words replayed in my ear every single minute since the day I lost my child. The day he had broken the news to us, I was distraught and words couldn’t even express how shattered and hopeless I felt. I felt like dying along with my baby. All of a sudden, my life stopped making sense.How did I get here? How did I get to this point? When did my life become such a never-ending pain-filled nightmare? It was always one problem or the other. Why couldn’t I just be happy and have peace for once? Why was I always a mess? Why was my life a mess?I thought back to how terrified and unsure I was to become a mother at first, given the traumatic circumstances. And then, how I grew to love the idea of having a child, of creating a life and nurturing it as the days passed. I had so many dreams for my baby. I was already coming up with names.But now, all those hopes and dreams lay shattered at my feet, broken beyond repair. They were brut
