Chapter thirty-seven(wedding betrayal) Sapphire's Point Of View: I gasped as I held onto my cheek, whispering a curse. I was so lucky Landon didn't invite the whole of the USA to our wedding or I would literally just bury myself alive from embarrassment. I wanted to hit her back so badly but I held myself back, for the sake of respect and peace even if it meant I would be humiliated. “Are you okay?” Landon asked, looking at my face. I nodded, blinking back my tears before taking two quick steps but Landon held me immediately. Only if he knew I wanted to go cry the fucking hell out of me. “How dare you?!" He yelled, pointing a warning finger at Mum as he left my arm and spun around to face her. "You idiot! How dare I? How dare YOU dump me for THIS! Are you out of your mind?!” She shouted, pretending she wasn't my mother. I didn't know what happiness a normal mother who actually cared, would derive from ruining her daughter's supposed happy day and smacking her in the face in fro
I accidentally uploaded a chapter of my other book for the previous chapter of this book so it's completely wrong, it doesn't belong here. I'm Really sorry. And I can't delete chapters so I'll edit and replace it with the right chapter as soon as possible. However, it will go under a review first before it gets updated. the review will take a while though. WILL NOTIFY Y'ALL WHEN THE EDIT IS APPROVED AND REPLACED WITH THE RIGHT CONTENT.
Chapter thirty-eight (hectic day)Sapphire's Point Of View:We walked into the mansion, our footsteps echoing through the whole space as it was empty and dead silent like a graveyard.I stared up at the astonishing chandelier above which scattered light across the huge living room, leaving no corner untouched. Yes, I've been to his house before but not this one. I had a feeling that it's been long since anyone has been to this mansion, though it was all neat and tidy.An aquarium stood at the other end of the room. I could see the backyard through it, the aquarium served as a see through wall. There were some sofas in the backyard with a swimming pool that had artificial running waterfalls.My neck snapped to look at the grand staircase that was made with gray marbles. The staircase was shiny and neat just like the mansion itself. I feared my presence alone would stain the mansion.“Come.” Landon said, stretching his hand from the staircase.I stared at him for a while before climbin
Chapter thirty-nine(I'll let you go)Sapphire's Point Of View:“You're ten weeks pregnant, miss," Her Amber eyes lit up in joy.My eyes widened as I snatched the paper from her hand.POSITIVE?!!“I'm pregnant?! Two and half months?! By whom?!" I asked a stupid question as if the machines told her 'Sapphire Sage is ten weeks pregnant by…’.“I can't be pregnant now!" I added. I never planned to be pregnant when I was with Landon and that was not what I was concerned about. I was concerned because I knew well that Tyler was the father of the child but what would happen now when I broke his heart and he has broken mine back.How would I stand before my boyfriend who is now married to my best friend and tell him I was pregnant by him.I mean it made no sense when I was married to his father at the same time.I let out a sigh, standing before leaving the hospital. I went straight to the mansion.As soon as I got in, I slammed the door but still stood there, pressing my head against it in f
Chapter forty(humiliated at the hospital)Sapphire's Point Of View:I grabbed my purse. As little as the purse was, I packed everything I needed in it. At least enough money to start up a new life in a little apartment of my own. My credit card was in there too and some things in case of an emergency. And of course, my pregnancy results.I would return the purse and the clothes I was dressed in as soon as I start up my life as they didn't belong to me. I found them in this mansion and I wanted nothing to do with Landon anymore so I would return them.According to our agreement last night, if I slept with him, he would let me go and make Tyler mine again.Anyway, I didn't need Tyler to be mine anymore. In fact, I was happy for Tiara, she deserves him more than I do and even though she jumps on every attractive man she finds on the road, she never cheats on her partner and sleeps with other men no matter what.They can flirt with her but Tiara wouldn't have anything intimate with them
Chapter forty one(good girl)Sapphire's Point Of View:“T-tyler?" I whispered.He forced a smile, swiftly holding my wrist and pulling me to his side to face Sonia.“I won't let a bastard like you talk trash about her. At least measure up to her or worth more than she worths before you open that hell hole of yours and rant out bullshit! At least she is married, show off your ring finger and let's take a look!” Tyler spat, his voice loud and clear.Everyone gasped as they held their phones, trying to record the heated conversation between Tyler Danvers, a billionaire CEO, and a normal lady, including I, the legal wife of Landon Rykhard.But who am I to judge them when Tyler literally just cooked Sonia.The one who wants to disgrace has been disgraced instead.But I wasn't going to let him save me after getting married to my best friend. Yes, I lied, I am not happy for them.I was really jealous.I slipped my wrist out of his hand. “Tyler, I think you should mind you business, this is b
Chapter forty two(exposing the dirty contract)Phoebe's Point Of View:I wore an oversized hoodie and an evening skirt. Though they were not great matching outfits, I wasn't in my right senses these days to even pick a proper outfit.I slammed the door behind me before walking down the road, holding my shoulders as my eyes ran back and forth, examining the faces of everyone who looked at me as if I was crazy.I knew crazy was just what I looked like, with crazy outfit and ruffled hair looking exactly like a bird's nest. I didn't remember the last time I combed my hair.Combed my hair? I didn't even remember when I last took my bath. I knew I reeked and I was hideous from lack of proper care.My skin was getting pale and wrinkled but who cares about my skin. Who cares if I reeked?Who cares about everything when the man who my heart beat for was married to my own daughter and they were probably making the best memories of their lives.HE WAS MINE FIRST. I had him first! She stole him f
Chapter forty three(give me your keys)Sapphire's Point Of View:“No! Don't you say that!" I objected, banging my hand on the desk. London, who sat beside me, pinched me from under the desk but I wasn't going to retreat.“How dare you say such to me?!" I protested as I looked into the man's eyes.Just how dare he?!Of course, he was rich. Of course, he was famous but he didn't have the right to say such words to me.Of course, he owned the biggest limited edition jacket making company in the United States but I won't let him say such disrespectful words to me.We were trying to collaborate with their company and make a package that comes with both a pair of sneakers and a jacket.And because their company was way more bigger than ours, they offered only 6% of whatever amount the limited edition package makes. As a wise woman, I protested against such a greedy and unfair deal and he had the balls to say ‘why is a common personal assistant in the boardroom? Aren't you supposed to be m
††032††Jasmine's Point Of View:Damon ran out of the booth.“Emergency!!" He shouted. “Someone is in there, he's not breathing!" He shouted again.Everyone gasped. "Did he kill him?” The murmurs increased.Ah, yes, just what I wanted to hear. Music to my ears.As the murmurs increased and everyone began to have their own belief and choose sides, the emergency of the college came with a stretcher, but the murmurs didn't stop.What we heard next was sirens, they were loud and clear.Damon's face looked confused as he spotted the cops who walked in next. A snitch must have called the cops.The cops walked towards Damon and looked at Dylan's dead body for a while before speaking with Damon, saying they would have to lock him up for the meantime.He tried arguing and refusing but that only made him look guilty.They took him away even though he was ranting and refusing. In the very end, everyone still kept murmuring and I had no choice but to leave.In the next few days, Damon was release
††031††Jasmine's Point Of View:I climbed back into the car, looking directly at the chauffeur through the rear view, our eyes meeting.I crossed my arms, not knowing how I should feel about being busted. 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
††030††“Hey, you're back." The man said as he flashed me a smile. "I thought you left the child and we've been planning to put them up for adoption actually.”I nodded, forcing a smile as I didn't even know what to say.“If I may ask, what made you leave that day? 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 understand. Let me go get the papers for you to sign and claim your kids back since we were initially planning to out them up for adoption after proper maturity,”I nodded, watching him get out of his seat and walk out of the office.I sat there, staring at nothing exactly.In no time, he returned, but without any files in his
††029††Jasmine's Point Of View:"You want your child, huh?" I smirked. “So that's all you care about? That's not going to be a problem, the problem is I'm not giving you the child” I scoffed.He looked at me, pleading with his eyes but I couldn't care less.I jerked my hand away from him, turning to leave immediately with my personal bodyguards.We got outside the place and the shielded me from the approaching fans. Just as I was about to get in the car, I spotted Damon approaching on his wheelchair. I halted, looking directly at him even though this was not the best time for this.I swallowed, narrowing my eyes at him.He got to where my car was but my bodyguards didn't let him get close to me.He looked at me, trying to get past the bodyguard who didn't move an inch.“Let's have a conversation," he said, almost as if he was pleading.I shook my head. "No.” I simply responded.He looked me in the eye. “Why have you been ignoring my calls and everything? You've been ignoring me recen
††028††Jasmine's Point Of View:I began to stay at Dad's place as I couldn't return to Damon's home again. I couldn't stay with someone like him again under the same roof. It was like sleeping in the same room with a serpent, but luckily for me, I discovered the serpent even before he could consider biting me.I need not to tell him right in the face that it was over and I discovered all his schemes for him to know that I was no longer stupid.It took me nothing. Absolutely nothing. And he understithat his plans have been ruined. He tried explaining countless times, obviously to feed me lies and ensure his plan still works one way or the other, but I wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice so I didn't even give him the opportunity to get to me.I appreciated his help so far in helping me build a name in the modelling industry, but at the same time, he could have made it clear if he only wanted to do me a favor. And he could have also made it clear if he was using me. If he ment
††027††Dmitri's Point Of View:I just couldn't believe she could have done this to me. 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
††026††Jasmine's Point Of View:As I cracked the door open, I heard a high-pitched moan flowing out from inside the room. 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. I didn't know what hurt the
††025††Jasmine's Point Of View:“Where the hell do you think you're going?” The security men asked.I scoffed. “What do you mean?"“You haven't paid for the cleaning if all these. 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. Thank you.” I responded, shoving them out of the way before walking out.I went out of the building and went straight out if the estate the into the car.“Where are we going to, miss?" Rufus asked, tilting his head to look at me.I fastened my seatbelt. “The headquarters. I have something to do there.”"Alright then.” He responded, starting the car and driving away.In
††024††Jasmine's Point Of View:After the man called the firefighters, they arrived in no time with their truck and equipment.As they trooped into the estate, I went in with them too, climbing on their truck with them and allowing them to carry me and the security men back to the burning house.They stepped out of the truck, gesturing for us to get down and move back, away from the fire and allow them to do their job.I swallowed, reluctantly going back as I watched them extinguish the first starting from the gate to cool it down.They then got closer to the gates, breaking it open. 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. But all my attempts were futile as they held me even tighter.“Let me go!” I screamed, but they didn'
