Chapter seventy eight(2-4-2-5)Sapphire's Point Of View:“No buts, gorgeous,”.Shocked, I said nothing, trying to keep my mind collected.“Which path are you taking? Will you sacrifice your dear brother? Or will you give in.”.“What do you want?" Defeated, I said.“Come to darkness and surrender,”."Send the location, I'll be there in a few minutes.”.The call went dead.This was a tough decision but if this was the only way I could protect this Scorpio then I would gladly do it. After all, he has protected me a lot, both indirectly and directly. He told me to run even though he knew the consequences, though I didn't understand what that meant but I think I do now.“Are you leaving?" Scorpio asked as I turned to him.The red pointer on his head disappeared.I flashed him a smile. Little did he know it was a bitter smile rather than a sweet smile.“Yeah, I'm sorry but it's really urgent. My friend is throwing a party and I wasn't aware. My other friend reached out to me now, informing
Chapter seventy nine(Please, don't kill me)Landon's Point Of View:After two days of trying to plot a perfect plan to save Tyler from Darkness, he was released without even having us to do anything.He joined us in the plot and from the Intel I have been gathering, it says that Darkness has gotten the code and has started distributing the bitcoins to crypto currency companies, though he told some of them that the bitcoins are fake but they signed a contract with him to sell them out, only considering the gains and not the fact that it was illegal.And since no one can differentiate the real ones from the forged ones, it was safe for them.I had every information I needed and I had them stored in a flash drive, including the names of the involved crypto currency companies and it would be used against them, including Darkness himself.And it was said that an increase in bitcoins is noticed out of the blue all over America which is unusual as they are not recorded but after a few hours,
Chapter eighty(the three trillion dollars offer)Attorney General's Point Of View:“Dad! You have a package." Sonia shouted from the living room, her voice high-pitched.I closed the book on my lap, throwing my head back to rest on the headboard.“All right. Bring it in!" I shouted back.“I can't even move it from the doorstep, Dad. It's so big." I scoffed.Drama Queen. She was probably overreacting because she didn't want to carry it.“Then get some men to open it into the living room. I'll be there soon to unbox it.”.I returned to reading the book in my hand, flipping the pages open again.After a while, I left my room and went down the stairs. The living room was completely empty, except for the huge box right in the middle of the living room.I thought Sonia was joking when she emphasized on the size but the package was even larger than how she explained.It had wooden pallets under it to move it around easily.I touched the box, using my nails to hitch off the tape that was used
Chapter eighty one(one way out)Landon's Point Of View:“General!" I yelled, teeth grinding as I burst into the living room.Just as I expected, Darkness was there, standing in front of the Attorney General.Both their necks cocked to my direction. The Attorney General looked a bit relieved while Darkness only stared, not giving off an emotion.I stood there, staring at their faces and waiting for something unexpected to happen.Despite the fact that there were two dead bodies near them in a ripped open box, I managed to focus and not get distracted. I knew if I got distracted, Darkness could do a lot within just two seconds of me looking away.I didn't need to be just attentive and focus on him, I needed to be sensitive to every single detail or move and getting distracted was a terrible idea when dealing with Darkness. He would use the opportunity to get a step ahead.Silence took over in such a way that if a little niddle, or in fact a little feather was dropped, it wouldn't be hea
Chapter eighty two(Be mine forever)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Are you okay? Do you feel better now?" Dad asked, looking down at me.I nodded, wincing a bit. My head still hurt slightly from all the torture I received from the man and his men four days ago.“Yes, I'm getting better. You went to see Scorpio right? How's he doing?”.He sighed. “He's starting to recover and he's really worried about you.”.He had dark circles, indicating that he was really stressed. His two children are not doing really well so it was really heartbreaking, especially at his age.“Evelyn!" I shouted, calling for the lady that was hired to look after me when Dad wasn't home.She came out from her room, making her way to where I was seated. “Yes, miss?".“I need you to get me some fruits. Some apples would do.” I ordered, pointing at my purse on the table.She grabbed it and took a twenty dollar note out of it.She then left without saying a word.“I need to leave. I only came to make sure Evelyn is doing h
Chapter eighty three(happiness is being with the right people)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Be mine, forever. Please, will you marry me?”.I shook my head, taking slow steps back as I cupped my mouth, unable to believe this.Why was he doing this now? Why was he doing this here? Something he was supposed to do months ago before things became wild! Something he was supposed to do under the rain or at the beach.Why?! It's never too late but it's still late to do this.He knelt there for about two minutes and not a sound emerged from my lips, tears only slipped down my face and my words were stuck right in the middle of my throat.Defeated, he rose up, stepping forward to hold my hand.I slipped my hands out of his, shaking my head and managing to tear my gaze away from him, only to be met with another version of him standing by his side.My brain processed nothing at the moment. Was I high or was I truly seeing two Tylers.My brain still refused to process anything as the world spun arou
Chapter eighty four(You're mine, all mine)Sapphire's Point Of View:"I'm sorry. Please, forgive me.".“Forgive you? You don't deserve my forgiveness, Landon. And don't you even think me getting married to Tyler will bond us in any way. After all, you adopted him, right? He's not your son and you're not my father-in-law.” I gaslighted him. "Leave, now.”."Ekaterina.” Dad called in a soft voice.“Dad, please. This is my decision to make. This man doesn't deserve to be forgiven and he knows it. You don't know the other things he did to me so let me decide for myself and allow him to move his damned ass out of your house. I'm just shocked he has the two hairy balls to step into MY room.”."Sapphire, listen to me.” Landon spoke again."No, you listen to me instead, Landon. I said leave!! Things will get worse if you do not listen to me. Get your ass out of here. I don't want to ever. Ever! See you again, except on my wedding day with Tyler. After that, I don't want to see you. Before then
Chapter eighty five(why do you love me?)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Ready?" Tyler shouted from outside the room. I pulled the zipper of my short gown, sighing.“Yes!" I shouted back, running to the door. I pulled the doorknob, going out of the room.Tyler's eyes lit up. “You look great!” He complimented me.I blushed, giggling. "It's just a casual gown, you silly!".He smirked, taking my hand and leading me down the stairs.Soon, we arrived outside and he opened the door for me to step into the car, just like the gentleman that he was.Today, we decided to go back to that hospital and claim our kids. Not to bring them home yet, of course not since they're definitely not mature just yet. It's just to ensure they wouldn't give my kids to a random orphanage after they get mature.Tyler was so thrilled after I told him about the twins I had for him. He already saw me as his wife and forced me to stay at his place as his wife already.He was really unbelievable but I call it love. Deep dow
††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'
