Chapter seven(Sonia is his girlfriend)
Sapphire's Point Of View: I got dressed in a black skirt and tucked in white shirt with black corporate heels. I let my beautiful wavy black hair cascade down my back. I got out of the house, bading mum goodbye, pretending as if nothing just happened a few minutes ago. I stopped a taxi and boarded it. After a few minutesâ ride, we arrived at my new workplace; Lanhard Luxe headquarters. The building never failed to amaze me each time I set my gaze on it. I walked in, my black heels clicking against the marble floors as I headed towards the building. I entered and was welcomed with the reception. âGood morning, Sonia." I said, grinning as I walked towards the elevator. The receptionist immediately raised her gaze from the screen before her, to look at me. She threw me a nasty glare but as soon as she noticed my eyes on her, her glare melted into a sweet but forced smile. Okay, strange. I wasn't in the mood for haters, neither was I in the mood to find out what her problem was. Somehow, I still haven't seemed to get over the tense conversation I heard with Mum earlier. I wished I could get my mind off it but the pain never stopped thumping in a corner of my heart. âGood morning!" Her bright voice jolted me back to reality. Without turning to look at her again, I nodded. I pushed the elevator's button, making the doors slide apart to open for me. I stepped in and pushed the button to go to the fourth floor. The door slid apart again and I stepped out, greeting every worker with a smile through their transparent windows. I made my way down the passage to Landon's office. I knocked before pushing the door open. Landon was seated at the back of his desk, looking into his MacBook. I pushed the door behind me. I walked to the desk, placing my bag on it. âGood morning, sir." I greeted. He raised his gaze from the screen, "Morning, darling.â. A blush crept on my cheeks as I grabbed my seat and pushed it to his side of the desk to settle right beside him. I lowered my body to sit, staring into the MacBook on the brown mahogany desk. He stretched out his hand, demanding for mine. I placed my hand in his. He stared at it before placing it back on the desk. âI was just making sure you didn't take off the ring." He clarified. I nodded. "I see,â. He minimized the document he was reading on his MacBook before going into some photos. He clicked on one of them. An elegant white dress displayed on the screen and a gasp escaped my lips. âYou got this for me?" I asked, staring at the screen in absolute adoration. âYeah. Do you like it?" He asked. "Like?â I nudged him, "Are you freaking kidding me?! I love it, Land-". He cut me off, âDon't call me Landon at work. Call me sir or darling. I'm your fiance now, hun.â He said, his voice not failing to melt my heart as usual. I whimpered dreamly. âBend me over and fuck me.". He laughed, âCome on.". âI can't wait till our wedding. I can't wait to wear that dress.â. âmhmmn, you'd look great in it.â "Of course, I'd look great in a great dress. Absolutely.â I grinned. There I was, look at me, pushing aside my worries for a man I didn't even know. Oh, what a shame. How could I do this to Tyler! I was heartle- No, I wouldn't call this heartless, I loved my job. Right! I loved my job! I was only doing this to be a great personal assistant! Besides, I needed this for my mafia family since I needed the special mafia family asset which I would be getting soon when I become 24 in about four months. The door slammed open, revealing Sonia. She gave me the same nasty glare after noticing the grin on my face that immediately melted after spotting her. Landon's stare traveled to Sonia. âHey, there, Landon. You have a visitor, it's May, your previous PA.â Sonia said, walking into the office as a sly smirk appeared on her face. She seemed to be cooking something crazy in her mind. Oh, and look, she calls him Landon also huh?! Anger brewed in my head as I stared at her. I prayed it wasn't what it seemed to be. Landon banged his hand on the desk, springing up immediately as he frowned at her. âHow many times will I tell you to never call me that?! We're at work!" He yelled, obviously out of control. Well, it is what it is. "Come on, darling. Don't pretend like we don't have something special between us. Oh, is it because of your new personal assistant? She doesn't have to be oblivious. I know I said I wanted a secret relationship and thanks for keeping my wants your top priority, daddy, but I don't want that anymore. Tell her who I am and let her stay in her lane, daddy.â. Daddy!!!! Are you fucking shitting me?! I wanted to stand but I sat back down when I was halfway up, I realized that Landon and I weren't in an actual relationship and she was probably his girlfriend so it was pretty better to mind my business and show some ârespectâ to his actual girlfriend. âYou are fired!" Landon roared, earning a scoff from the retarded bitch. âFired? We both know you can't fire me. Remember, you promised to put a ring on this finger today after work, you got me my ring yesterday, didn't you?â She said, displaying her idle fingers. I fought the urge to burst into laughter. She seemed pained in the ass. âI aborted eleven babies for you, Landon. We've been in a three years relationship and you fucking screw me every single day, so get this bitch out of this place and explain to me what's going on. You must be pretending for business purposes, obviously.â She added. Landon still didn't say a word, he only crossed his arms, anger evident in his blue eyes that already darkened with fury. They now glimmered like the stormy sky. âIâm pregnant for you, Landon and you know it! You made me choose the perfect wedding dress last night for our upcoming wedding! Where is the fucking ring?!â She said, tears beginning to collect in her eyes. Shit! Now, this was nothing close to funny. My fellow female has been played. Landon immediately grabbed my wrist and raised my hand, making the ring flash under the influence of the beaming sun rays that streaked in through the windows. Her lips parted as her hand flew to her mouth. The tears finally dropped silently.Chapter eight(distance from him)Sapphire's Point Of View:Her lips parted as her hand flew to her mouth. The tears finally dropped silently.âL-land- my ri-ng?" She stuttered, shaking in betrayal.âNow get out of my office!" Landon shouted, banging his hand on the desk. 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.âBut⌠Landon, I love you and you- love me too. What went wrong?....is. Is it because of her? I- I swear IâŚis this a prank?â She asked, years flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably.âI said. Get. Out. Of. My. Office. Now!!â He yelled, gritting his teeth.She flinched, weeping before scrambling her way out of the office reluctantly.I looked down at my lap, not saying anything.âYou okay?" He asked.Excuse me! How do you expect me to be okay after you just humiliated a human like that. A
Chapter nine(I chooseâŚ.)Sapphire's Point Of View:I looked to my left, looking into a quieter and darker road.For some reason, I heard this tiny voice in my head, 'Go, Sapphire.â. what the fuck?!I gladly followed the voice and went into the road that was as silent, dark and empty as a graveyard. 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
Chapter ten(terms and conditions)Sapphire's Point Of View:âI chooseâŚ..â. I sighed, rethinking my decision. I couldn't, I just couldn't choose. It was the toughest decision of my life. 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.âI chooseâŚ.. Landon.â 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 manâs capabilities. And although I knew my love life was at risk
Chapter eleven (date with Tyler)Sapphire's Point Of View:âIt seems it's time to open those legs for your fiance.â He whispered coldly.I shook my head. âNo, no, no. You can't do that! You can't force me to have sex with you when I'm not willing to. First thing tomorrow, we go meet your lawyer to erase that from the papers. It's a contract, it should be no sex instead. I'm not cheating with my boyfriend again.â."Your boyfriend or your fiance, who is more important.".I sighed, squeezing my eyes shut. âDon't get into my head. I am not letting you have sex with me.â."And if I say no?â."I can sue you for sexual assault, don't play silly games with me.â I said, wondering where I got such courage from. But yeah, I might have had sex with him before or allowed other shit but I wasn't myself then.I'm Sapphire, a baddie and I will not let a man use me like a slut like his other ladies.I grabbed my bag, âI'm sorry, sir. This meeting is going in a wild direction and I'm sorry but I have t
Chapter eleven(who's that?)Sapphire's Point Of View:I walked into his spread arms, grinning as I inhaled his astonishing aroma.âBabe." I called, dissolving in his arms. He planted a kiss on top of my head, âYes, honey. I know you miss me. I know you do, darling. I miss you as well.â.His words made my smile become wilder.âLove birds!" Mum's voice interrupted from behind me. Of course, as usual, the fun killer.I broke the hug, turning to face her. I let out a scoff before turning to Tyler again.He gave Mum a small smile before stretching forth his arm for me. I linked arms with him, following his lead to the exit.We soon arrived at a coffee shop, settling at our table. We both got a cup of coffee each, drinking slowly as we stared at each other, waiting for one of us to say something.Tyler cleared his throat before finally breaking the silence, âI really missed you and I wanted to hang out with you but the predominant reason I asked you to hang out with me, Sapphire, is general
Chapter 12(gala)Sapphire's Point Of View:âWhoâs that?â he asked.âWho?" I asked before pressing my lips into a thin line, hoping it wasn't what it seemed to be.âWho?" He asked me back.The cat got my tongue. âIt's Tiara." I lied, faking a smile.âYour fiance?" He said.My smile wavered, "IâŚit's just a little game we're playing and I was dared to do that. Don't bother, you trust me right? I don't become a lesbian, Tyler.â."Oh. I see. You should call her then. She seems to need you. Call her, I'd also love to speak with her. It's been a while you know and besides, I didn't send her greetings on her birthday.â He spoke.I pressed my lips into a thin line again, grabbing my phone from the table before opening Landon's text.'Where are you? Can we go on a date?â I saw his message.'No, fiance. I'm on a date with my boyfriend. Besides, those fake feelings should also go on holiday on weekends, please. You just got me in trouble.â.I waited for a while then he replied, 'We'll be attendin
Chapter fourteen (it's over)Sapphire's Point of view:'BAM!â My head hit against the airbag. I breathed heavily, raising my gaze as I pushed back the airbag. âAre you okay?!" Tyler asked. I nodded, sighing.I returned my gaze to the front of the car, luckily for us, our car didn't hit the truck. We were safe. The airbag only came out due to the sharp brakes.Pedestrians were on the road side, staring in shock.I heard a knock on the window of the car. I slowly rolled it down as I saw two cops looking in through the window.I raked my fingers through my hair, making the scattered strands slick back.âSir, ma'am. We're sorry, but sir, License and registration, please. Do you know why we're here?"âYes, cop, we understand. We were chasing a car. We're sorry, it'll never happen again.â I apologized.The second cop took over, "Chasing a car? At that speed? You're lucky you didn't collide with that truck. You were doing 80 in a 40 zone."."Officer, it-â.Tyler cut me off, "I know, officer
Chapter fifteen(The ride)Sapphire's Point Of View:My heart squeezed in my chest.âIt's over.â He stated.What?!"Tyler? Really? Just a little misunderstanding and you're ending a four year relationship?!â I raised my voice.He didn't respond or spare me a glance.âI should have known. I made a big mistake. How did I even expect such a pretender to put a ring on this finger? I wasted precious years of my life with you and I now regret every second!â I spat. He still didn't respond. I grabbed my bag and exited the car.âAre you going with me to the fucking gala or not?!" He shouted.Fucking fuck him!As I walked down the road, fighting back my tears, I could still feel his eyes on me but I didn't bother looking back, I didn't want him to realize I actually still cared.A midnight blue car slowed down by my side as I walked, ignoring it.âHey there, pretty. Need a ride?" I heard a guy's voice from inside the car.I didn't bother looking at his face as I didn't want him to notice my te
