A god or a Demon

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-02 08:52:43

Chapter five(A god or demon)

Sapphire's Point Of View:

A smirk crawled on his face, his blue eyes pinning me again the same way they did a few days ago. My heart ran wild, my grasp tightening on my bag as I tried looking away but I couldn't for some reason. We were intertwined.

“Sit." He ordered, stretching out his hand to the seat across his. I nodded, flashing him a smile, “thank you, sir." I spoke so nicely that I couldn't help but wonder if it was truly me who spoke. The Sapphire I knew could never speak so nicely to a random man, especially one who I slept with.

“Can we meet tonight?” He asked. His questions had my heart thumping hard against my ribcage. I began to stutter.

“I-i- s-sure. Of course, I'll b-be here tonight.” I replied.

"No, no, not here. I mean in that same hotel.” He clarified. I averted his eyes for a while. “Courage, gorgeous.” He repeated those same words he said last night. “You'll be safe." He added.

I nodded, "B-but I….”

"Perhaps my house will be fine then?” He proposed. I immediately shook my head vigorously, "No, no. The hotel is perfectly fine for us to meet.".

He nodded, “Great. Don't be so tight, feel free here. I wouldn't have hired you instead of that other girl if I wanted to make you feel uncomfortable.”.

“I'm not feeling uncomfortable with you. It's just….that night, I- I'm really sorry for…. everything and I- I wish I could really make it up to you. What can I do to please you? I'm so sorry, I was only drunk.” I apologized.

He nodded without saying another word.

“I should get to work now." I suggested.

~

I walked into the room slowly, that same room where we had sex that night. He was already seated there on the bed with some papers in the bed right beside him.

I closed the door behind me, turning back to him. “Sir." I said as I walked in.

He patted the bed softly, gesturing for me to come. I reluctantly went and sat right beside him. He grabbed the file by his other side, bringing it close to me and handling it to me.

“Oh. The schedule book, I'm sorry I forgot to pick it up this afternoon.” I apologized, opening the schedule file. “We have a meeting tomorrow with…” I paused, looking into the file.

'Contract For Marriage’

'Parties involved:’

'Sapphire Sage’

'Landon Rykhard’

I threw my gaze back up to look at his face that already had a smirk on it as if he was playing some sort of dirty gamble with me.

“A contract marriage? What for?" I asked, raising a brow.

“For some business dealings. As my personal assistant, you must be willing to sacrifice both your time and personal life for this job, understand?” He asked, crossing his arms.

“What do you mean by this? I-"

His hands came near my face, pushing a few strands of my hair behind my ear. It felt as if he deliberately was trying to seduce me but I wouldn't let my guard down this time.

I, SAPPHIRE SAGE, LOVE MY BOYFRIEND, TYLER DANVERS, WHO LOVES ME BACK DEARLY.

“What do I mean by this? Unless you don't love your job anymore? I can find a committed personal assistant who will be willing to get married to Landon Rykhard.” He said, his voice as sly as ever as if he didn't have a care in the world.

“I….but… Okay fine, but how long is this supposed to last for the business deal?” I asked.

"Not much. Just six months.” He replied.

I nodded, reading through the contract. After reading through it and understanding, I took a pen from my bag and signed it, yet I immediately regretted it. What on Earth would I tell Tyler?!

“So when is the wedding?” I asked.

"Two weeks." He said before giving me a ring. “There, never take that off, okay?".

I nodded, slipping in the ring even though I knew as soon as u got out of this hotel, I would take it right off.

“Well, I think that's it right, sir? I need to get going, my mother would be worried sick.” I said, tossing the pen back into my bag.

"What can I do to please you?" He said, reminding me of my own words from earlier today. I halted, forcing a smile before grabbing my bag. Before I could stand to my feet, he grasped my arm. “I know you know what to do." He smirked.

I snatched my arm from him. "I'm sorry, but not this again. You are my boss. I can't be doing this when I'm sober. That night was a mistake, I don't want the same mistake happening again.” I said, leaving.

As soon as I got to the door, I felt his arm around my waist. My bag automatically slipped from my hand. No, no, no, what was I doing? I didn't plan to melt away! He was my boss, a stranger!

I turned, pushing him away gently. He immediately grabbed both my hands and pinned it above me on the wall. He didn't only pin my hand, he also pinned my soul with his eyes.

He smirked, his face drawing close to mine. He was about to close the distance between our faces when he spoke.

“Just tell me to stop and I will, forever, we won't have to do this, neither will we have to do the contract marriage.” He taunted.

I stared into his ice blue eyes that froze my heart so intensely that I couldn't even control my own heartbeat anymore. What is he? A god? Or a demon?

To prove how intense his eyes were, I failed to even blink, the only way I escaped his gaze was to look down at his astonishing full lips. I didn't know what I was doing, I only went with the flow.

“I don't want you to stop, sir" I pronounced softly.

I saw the pain in Sonia's eyes and immediately felt sorry for her, even though I didn't really know what heartbreak felt like because Tyler was the only man I loved dearly enough to break my heart but he never dared to break my heart.“But… Landon, I love you and you- love me too.

As I walked in, I encountered multiple abandoned buildings.I saw a dimly lit space ahead, it was an opened warehouse. I entered the silent warehouse. It was so silent that my breath echoed in the space.But at least it was lit.A mysterious man emerged from the shadows. He had jet black hair that complimented his midnight blue eyes. His shoulders were broad, making him look more muscular than he actually was.He was quite tall with jaw-dropping looks, not just his looks were jaw-dropping, his enchanting eyes were manipulative. He wore black long leather jacket that reached his knees, they had long strips by the waist. Compliment with a black shirt, and black pants.He steadily approached

I swallowed hard as I thought about it.I didn't know who to choose. Who deserved my trust, just who? How would I know when I basically knew literally nothing about either of them! The only thing that makes a difference is I already had sex with one of them.“I choose….. Landon.” I breathed out.I hoped I wouldn't regret my decision later on but I knew Landon and even though I knew he was toxic, it was better to go with him right? Rather than someone I barely knew, someone who was claiming to be the good guy and painting Landon as a bad guy.Yes, Landon was a bad guy, I could tell. But the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know right?I knew Landon would be able to protect me and those I care about but I didn't know this man’s capabilities.

I felt like it was a useless plan anyway, it wasn't necessary to make him jealous in this particular way.But at the same time, I was mad that my plan didn't work out just the way I planned it. It was embarrassing for me to have to beg her and get her forgiveness for trying to claim what isn't mine in the first place.“Return us to the hotel." I commanded the chauffeur.He nodded immediately, driving off slowly until we arrived at the hotel. I got out of the car, entering the hotel and making my way into my suite.I let out a sigh, my back hitting the bed. I remained in the position, not knowing when I fell into a deep slumber.It was the buzz of my phone on the bed that woke me up. I squinted my eyes, reaching for the phone and looking at the screen closely to look at the time.It

I mean you just had a surgery and you left straight up which was bad for your health at that moment in time.”I let out a sigh, shaking my head. "I'm really sorry. Can I just get to the next step now? I just want to do this fast and get out of here as soon as possible. I'm sorry if that actually sounded rude but I had no better way to put it. I just don't have all the time in the world.”He nodded.

I understood that she hated me, but despite the hatred, I didn't see the need to do this to me.She knew well that my health was on its last legs and I was in pain. No one would be heartless enough to do this to their own father because he put them up for adoption.I thought I heard her mention that it was only an assignment, but that didn't matter.A lot of things have been happening recently and I thought life was only against my wife and I. I never knew it was all orchestrated by my own daughter who I already apologized to. I even went as far as arranging a letter for her, thinking she would understand and forgive me, only for her to send people to burn down my house, the place I've been stuck for months now even though I had more mansions.My health just didn't permit me to be moved here and there anymore. I only remained in one place, traveling from one place to another was stressful for me.B

The moan continued, becoming louder and louder and what followed was the sound of meat slapping against each other.I swallowed, peeking into the mansion to get a glimpse of whatever was going on in the house. Just then, I was met with the shock of my life.There was Damon, thrusting into a woman with pull force and pulling out immediately, grinding in and out of her.That was none of my business, but what shocked me the most was that he was fucking standing which means he…. he was never actually crippled.Damon was able all these while? But he was only hiding it?A gasp fought to escape my throat, but I cupped my mouth immediately, silencing the gasp. I didn't realize tears were welling up in my eyes until it began to prick my iris so badly that I had to blink multiple times to hold back the tears.I felt my heart squeeze in my chest.

You need to pay the money we would give to our cleaners to clean this mess.”"Do I look like the reason this place was set on fire? I'm sure he was paying several thousands for this place in a year, so why can't you guys take care of little maintenance like this?” I asked, frowning."This isn't a little maintenance. This is a whole lot,”“The money he paid for this year hasn't been exhausted or has it? The year isn't over yet so use the rest.

They then went in, extinguishing the fire of the whole mansion slowly and steadily until the whole house was safe.The two security men held me back as I tried to run inside, yelling and shouting to go search the mansion myself and see if my father was in the building.I fought hard to escape their grip.
