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 92: Jade
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
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 93: A Glimpse Into The Past
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
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 94: Kick-Starting Revelations
Sapphire's POVI walked down the hallway and stopped dead on my tracks when I heard Ethan's grunts coming from the fitness room. I pushed open the door and slowly walked inside, my feet padding softly against the hardwood floor, trying not to disturb Ethan, who was in the zone practicing his top notch karate moves. He did this more often these days like he was preparing for a tournament.I leaned against the doorway, watching him intently. His muscles glistened and rippled with sweat under the overhead lights, his brow furrowed in concentration while he did a series of awesome kicks and punches that made me want to step back and give him some space. I crossed my arms, enjoying the show as he did some more flurry of kicks and punches that seemed to blur in the air around him.A few rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains and the faint scent of sweat was all that lingered in the air. It made me wonder how long Ethan had been at this today. His breaths came out in controlled bursts,
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 95: Birthday Bash
Sapphire's POVDamn!Theo sure knew how to throw a party. I brought Jamila and Gwen along with me. It'd been ages since I got to hang out with them. I felt like this party was the perfect opportunity to let loose and have some fun together. Ethan drove to the place alone while Eric took me, Jamila and Gwen there.The party was wild and there were so many people here, my head was spinning just trying to keep track of everyone. The moment we stepped into Theo's mansion, the music was bumping so loud I could feel the bass vibrating beneath my feet and through my whole body. Lights were flashing in all different colours, giving the place a dream–like vibe. But there was no sign of Sophia.This place was more packed than a club. How could one person know so many people?—I wondered, my eyes dancing across the room. And I wasn't talking about old people or relatives either. These were all young, vibrant faces—beautiful girls with bikini bodies and hot dudes, each with a drink in hand, laughi
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 96: The Booze And The Babes
Eric's POV"What was it you wanted to show me, Theo?" I asked him irritatedly. No doubt anyone could hear how impatient I sounded. We'd been walking around for more than thirty minutes, with Theo greeting everybody and dragging me along with him.As expected, Theo chuckled and shook his head. "Can't wait to get back to your woman, can you?"I didn't give him an answer.So he continued, "Aw man, look at you. You've got it bad like damn!" He laughed and took one large gulp of his cocktail that I was damn sure was probably too strong for its own good.Theo had a knack for drinking like a damn fish, like there was no tomorrow and it was his birthday, so naturally, he was on a mission to get shitfaced beyond recognition. But hell, that wasn't my problem. Not at all. It was his liver on the line, not mine. And if he really thought it was cool to drink his weight in alcohol and down shots like it was nobody's business, then good for him.His tolerance was through the roof though. It always a
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 97: Leave And Let Go
Eric's POVI decided to play along, feeling Sophia's smooth soft lips against mine and she deepened the kiss, holding me tighter. Her lips were fuller and softer than I remembered them being; they were kind of sweeter too. She tasted like strawberries, tequila, whiskey and all I could think about was how wrong this was, as flashes of the last time we kissed in Malibu flooded my mind. Her moans, the way she clung to me like a drowning woman...Everything about this felt so damn wrong yet I couldn't summon the strength I needed to push her away at that instant. Sophia's tongue pulled back and then traced my bottom lip before slipping inside my mouth again. A shiver ran through me and her warm breath mingled with mine, her fingers digging into my shoulders as she desperately pulled me even closer.It was intoxicating in its own way, taking me back to those simpler times when love was just a game we played together before adulthood set in with all its complications and responsibilities. T
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 98: Caught In The Act
Eric's POVSapphire's eyes bored into mine. I just couldn't believe it. My heart raced like a jackrabbit on steroids, pounding against my chest like it was trying to break free from its rib cage prison. My mind raced too, a million thoughts spiralling through me like a tornado in my head. How long had she been standing there? What did she see? Did she see Sophia and me together? Did she hear our conversation?Had she been watching the whole damn scene play out between me and Sophia like some twisted soap opera? And if she had, what did she think of it? Was she hurt? Angry? Disappointed? Fuck! I was so stupid. How could I have been so stupid to kiss Sophia? I should've just pushed her away as soon as she came close to me. My stomach churned with guilt, knowing I might have hurt Sapphire by even entertaining Sophia's advances.I thought I saw shock, hurt and a hint of anger flickering in Sapphire's beautiful brown eyes. Or maybe it was just my mind and guilt playing tricks on me. Becaus
