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
Hey there, darlings. We've come to the end of the journey for Tyler, Landon and Sapphire. It's been really eventful and if you made it to this point, I'd like to say a huge thank you. I kept going with your support everyday, making sure to upload every SINGLE DAY as much as I can. I really hope you enjoyed it and I would love to read your opinions in the review section. If you enjoyed the book, please leave a review, each review makes a book rank higher and I would appreciate it if my book becomes one of the best. Along the line, I must say Raphael/Eric is my BEST character. He might be a jerk to you, I understand, but he's an amazing character and he's really cool. My favourite line in the book; "Courage, gorgeous," still gives me the chills. But wait a minute, hold on! This isn't the end of BTL(Between Mafia Lines). BTL has another part, part two. Not about Sapphire this time but it's about... JASMINE ✨✨ Yes, that Jasmine that only showed up once, Sapphire's Twin Sister.
Chapter one hundred(Together Forever)Sapphire's Point Of View:It's been months since the incident and Mum died from the bomb blast. Dad managed to survive and everything has been going well since then.The government agencies never found anything suspicious in the company any longer and our company has been growing larger and larger, becoming an international clothing brand, collaborating with other well-known brands.Though my heart still hurts from losing Johnson, I felt a bit relieved as things got better since then and a good burial has been held for him.I understood that the pain of losing a child would never fade but I believed it was all fate.It was fate that made me go to Landon that day at the hotel. It was fate that made Tyler Landon's son. It was fate that did everything from the start.Fate was amazing and fascinating and I was glad it planned a nice ending for me and the love of my life.Even if fate didn't plan for us to be together forever, I knew I would overcome e
Chapter ninety nine(flames)Sapphire's Point Of View:I hopped out of the car, running into the hospital.This was uncalled for, I never expected that Tyler would regain his memory in no time and although I was just about to deal with Mum's ass but since I've not gotten her location yet, I needed to attend to Tyler in the meantime.My chest heaved up and down as I busted into the ward. I swallowed hard, staring at him.He sat there, wincing a little as he spread his arms for a hug.Roughly yet gently, I crashed into his warm embrace, praying for the moment to never melt away.“Tyler!" I cried as I felt his fingertips massage my scalp gently, pulling my head closer to make the hug more passionate.A soft smile crawled on my face as I pulled away from him, tears welling up in my eyes.I looked at his face, reaching to touch him to confirm it was my Tyler.“I'm fine now," his voice was soft just like it used to and he looked at me with the same adoration he always used to look at me. Ado
Chapter ninety eight(Realizing who the goldfish culprit is)Sapphire's Point Of View:I sped through the road, my engine roaring louder and louder.Finally, I arrived at Dad's mansion. Pulling up, I exited the car, running as fast as I could into the house.The security was nowhere to be found which was unusual but that made it faster for me to get in.I pushed the door open, parting my lips to speak, only to realize there was no one in the living room. It was all empty and scattered.Shattered glass lingered every here and there with some bullets.The couch wasn't in the proper spot anymore, it was already shifted to the front, closer to the TV.I walked in, watching my steps with my eyes scrolling through the whole house. The TV already fell over, damaged beyond repair.What the fuck happened here? That didn't bother me much until I spotted blood staining the white marble floors as if a dead body was pulled. Fear gripped me at the sight.“Hello?" My voice reverberated through the ma
Chapter ninety seven(the footage)Sapphire's Point Of View:It's been one and half week since I got that footage and I have been watching it closely for days, zooming in for details. I drew closer and closer to when box G/0/1/0- - 6/H would be delivered into the store room. I could have just fast forwarded the video to that part, but I wanted to monitor some other things to get clues.I managed to speak with the government agencies about demolishing the company and they agreed to give us about three weeks more to prove ourselves innocent or give it up for them.I have been traveling back and forth between New York City and New Jersey and the stress was a heavy burden to carry. The stress was weighing me down, but I couldn't neglect my responsibilities. I had to monitor Tyler and see if he was doing any better from the neurologist's treatments or not.At the same time, I had to return home to investigate my kid's kidnap and organize the company properly and also watch the footage.Wi
Chapter ninety six(60/40 chance)Sapphire's Point Of View:I remained still, trying to not process what he said but I had already processed it, I was only finding it challenging to digest it and comprehend properly.What did he just say? My Tyler has lost his memory? So he doesn't remember me anymore? He doesn't remember who the culprit was anymore? He doesn't remember anything? Or what?!No, there's no way this is possible.I still remained immobile, not blinking as tears clouded my vision, stinging my eyes as they threatened to spill.There was this silent prayer I said in my mind for him to just laugh out loud and smack me on my shoulder gently then tell me it's a prank or a silly joke, but his face didn't seem like it was fake.His face was heavy with pity and regret.I still didn't blink my eyes and finally, the tears spilled.The only part of my body that moved was my heart and I didn't know why. I didn't know why it didn't just stop beating and let me get buried at this moment.
Chapter ninety five(adoration turned uncertainty)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Who?" I asked, waiting patiently for his words.As his lips parted for him to speak, he jerked instead as he began to cough profusely. I placed my hand on his chest, trying to calm him down but he didn't stop.“Calm down. Easy there, sweetie,” I said, rubbing his chest gently as he coughed.His arm began to shake since he was using them to brace his body.“Lay down." I suggested but he seemed as if he was battling with the cough instead so he didn't hear me.I let out a sigh, not knowing what to do to calm him down.His shaking arm collapsed, leaving him to slam his head against the metal design below him.He stopped coughing immediately, lying there immobile.“Are you okay now?" I asked, only to realize his eyes were closed. A gasp escaped my lips as my eyes widened. “Tyler!!" I shouted, gently tapping him but he didn't budge.My hand cupped my mouth. “Oh shit!" I whispered, turning away and running out of
Chapter ninety four(golden opportunity)Sapphire's Point Of View:My eyes narrowed, my gaze focusing on the kids for a while.They were my kids. Jackson and Jason.Without second thoughts, I dropped the apples in my hand, shoving the passersby aside as I made it through them, making sure I didn't take my eyes off my kids who walked sheepishly with the man who was holding their wrists tightly. From the way he held them, I could tell he was forcefully taking them and he had probably threatened them beforehand.Oh, my poor kids. They were threatened.I would make sure he pays for this! I should have known he had something to hide when he was glancing at me like a mother fucking freak in the plane.“Sorry!" I shouted, separating a couple and running by without looking back.I still had my gaze planted on my kids. I drew closer and closer as the man approached the exit of the airport which wasn't really flooded with people.Suddenly, I felt my left knee bend and I fell to the floor like a
Chapter ninety three(The First Lady)Sergio's Point Of View:I groaned, holding tight onto my thigh as I watched sapphire walk away. I wanted to stop her but I couldn't as she was already far away. I squeezed my eyes shut, pain banging through me.The next thing I heard was the door slamming.Then silence followed. I have been left alone to cry and groan in pain. Left alone to sort myself. I could tell sapphire was feeling betrayed but I was the one who was supposed to feel betrayed instead.I lied to her about doing it for the Empire. Even if I was it for the Empire, she wasn't supposed to react this way as she knew our top rule that we don't sell each other out and we will do anything to protect each other at all cost.I understood that she loved that family but she knew the rules. Also, I only lied to her about saving the Empire. I was saving her instead. I was saving her from emotional distress and getting her reputation ruined.~FLASHBACK~“I'm risking five million dollars."
