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
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 99: Bed Or Boardroom
Sapphire's POVEric's presentation was happening today. I'd hoped I'd wake up very early and help him get ready for it, wife style. But instead, I slept like a log that morning, not even stirring awake to the alarm clock or to the early morning sun streaming into our bedroom. When I finally peeled my eyes open, grogginess wrapped around me like a heavy quilt and I felt a pang of annoyance nudging at me.I squinted against the brightness of the room, raising my hands to shield my face from the sunlight. And there he was, Eric, looking all smart and dapper in his crisp navy blue tailored suit, like he just walked out of a magazine cover. He was fixing his cufflinks with a stern look on his face and staring out the large window, taking in the view of the city below, the beautiful hues of dawn highlighting his handsome features.I couldn't believe that he was up and ready and didn't even think to wake me up. He could have shaken me awake, gently nudged me, rained kisses all over my body l
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 100: Raw
Sapphire's POVI felt Eric's cock harden against me and I trembled, remembering how good he felt inside me last night. He always felt so good deep inside me. God, he was incredible. I arched my back slightly and opened my legs wider, inviting him in, even though I knew he had to go."I'll wait for you tonight," I purred."I'll hold you to that," he gruffed and pressed his hips into me, making me gasp and moan softly.I ran my hands through his hair, loving the feel of it between my fingers as he nibbled at my neck again. It was driving me wild and I needed him closer—now. Eric pulled back slightly to look down at my naked form with a heated gaze that made me squirm underneath him. His fingers trailed down my stomach, lightly caressing my skin before tracing patterns over my pelvis and lower.He groaned deeply. I felt his heart pounding in his chest when his hand brushed against the delicate patch of hair between my legs and my swollen lips. I was soaking wet and I saw how it drove him
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 101: Bluebell Heights
Sapphire's POV14 Cherry Blossom Lane, Bluebell Heights.My heart thumped in my chest as I repeated the address in my head over and over again. I peered at my wristwatch, it was almost 8pm. Throughout the whole of the day, I contemplated going to see what this was about. I wanted to shrug it off before but I couldn't help the hard nudging in my chest and the anxiousness gnawing at me. So after a long time, I decided I'd go.Now, I was seated in a cab, heading towards the place. A thousand things ran through my head while I sat, struggling to remain calm. What was this about now? Was this going to be a trap? A prank by Eric again or perhaps... Like a wild animal struggling to escape, my heart pounded hard against my rib cage at the thought that maybe, just maybe, this wasn't a prank or a ruse at all. Maybe it was something far more sinister.And the more I thought about it, the more I started thinking that someone else had put that note in my wardrobe and Eric had only covered it up, s
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 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
