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
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
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
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?
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
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
Sapphire's POV"The last time you saw her alive?" Eric arched one of his brows, staring at me intently. "Isn't she alive, though?""No, I meant truly alive. Like, before the accident that put her in a coma. She was vibrant, full of life, always laughing and making everyone around her smile. That's the image of her I hold onto, not her lying in a hospital bed. Since the accident, it's like she's here but not really here, you know?" I explained, trying to find the right words to describe the emptiness of the situation.Eric nodded slowly and I could see sadness lurking in his eyes. "Yeah, I get what you mean. It's like a part of her is missing and you're waiting, hoping that part comes back to complete her again.""Exactly," I agreed, feeling a lump form in my throat. "And it's not just about waiting for her to wake up. It's about dealing with the reality that even if she does, she might not be the same. The doctors said there could be significant memory loss or she might not be able to
Sapphire's POV{FLASHBACK}FIVE YEARS AGO..."Heyyy, Sapphy," Jade boomed from behind me and hugged me while planting a kiss on my cheek. "Muah!"I giggled and when she broke the hug, I stared at her in amusement, closing the book I was reading. And then my lips quickly curved into the biggest smile ever. I found it hard not to smile whenever Jade was around. It was almost impossible."What's got you all cheery this evening?" I squinted up at her, my eyes full of curiosity.Jade just chuckled softly and chirped, flashing her trademark grin at me, "Ah, Sapphy, you know me! I'm always cheerful! Can't help it, it's just in my DNA, I guess." She shrugged, biting on an apple and taking a large chunk of it.And it was true; she had this ability to brighten up any room she walked into, effortlessly spreading joy wherever she went. It didn't matter if it was raining outside or if the world seemed gloomy; Jade was the sun herself, on even the cloudiest and darkest days.She could find joy in t
