Chapter nine(I choose….)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.’. 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:“I choose…..”. 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.“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. And although I knew my love life was at risk
Chapter eleven (date with Tyler)Sapphire's Point Of View:“It seems it's time to open those legs for your fiance.” He whispered coldly.I shook my head. “No, 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.”."Your boyfriend or your fiance, who is more important.".I sighed, squeezing my eyes shut. “Don't get into my head. I am not letting you have sex with me.”."And if I say no?”."I can sue you for sexual assault, don't play silly games with me.” 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, “I'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.“Babe." I called, dissolving in his arms. He planted a kiss on top of my head, “Yes, honey. I know you miss me. I know you do, darling. I miss you as well.”.His words made my smile become wilder.“Love 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, “I 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:“Who’s that?” he asked.“Who?" I asked before pressing my lips into a thin line, hoping it wasn't what it seemed to be.“Who?" He asked me back.The cat got my tongue. “It's Tiara." I lied, faking a smile.“Your fiance?" He said.My smile wavered, "I…it'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.”."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.” 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?’ 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.’.I waited for a while then he replied, 'We'll be attendin
Chapter fourteen (it's over)Sapphire's Point of view:'BAM!’ My head hit against the airbag. I breathed heavily, raising my gaze as I pushed back the airbag. “Are 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.“Sir, ma'am. We're sorry, but sir, License and registration, please. Do you know why we're here?"“Yes, cop, we understand. We were chasing a car. We're sorry, it'll never happen again.” 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-”.Tyler cut me off, "I know, officer
Chapter fifteen(The ride)Sapphire's Point Of View:My heart squeezed in my chest.“It's over.” He stated.What?!"Tyler? Really? Just a little misunderstanding and you're ending a four year relationship?!” I raised my voice.He didn't respond or spare me a glance.“I 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!” I spat. He still didn't respond. I grabbed my bag and exited the car.“Are 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.“Hey 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
Chapter sixteen(get married to him)Sapphire's Point Of View:“You're home!" Mum squealed, only if she knew I wasn't up for her bullshit.I let out a sigh, kicking off my shoes pointlessly before heading up the stairs. I went straight to my room and buried my head in the mattress as I groaned.“What's wrong, darling?" I heard Mum's voice from behind me.I picked myself up, sitting up to face her. "Please, exit my room." I asked.“I won't until you tell me what the problem is. You don't seem fine." She said, worry evident in her eyes."Leave.” I whispered quickly as I felt a burning sensation in my eyes that indicated that my eyes would start producing tears soon and I wouldn't let that happen in front of Mum.“Why do I have to?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.She then walked towards me and placed a hand on my shoulder while the other one rubbed my cheek. I felt my frustration melt away and I began to feel emotional.Even though I hated Mum, her tender touch made all my prob
††004††Jasmine's Point Of View:“Jasmine!" I heard a yell that pierced my sleep. I immediately sprang up, my chest heaving up and down as I looked around the room, only to find a man with black hair and a strong face standing before me.I flinched, looking around the room only to realize I was somewhere I didn't recognize.“I'm talking to you!" He yelled, making my body jump on the cold floor.I rested my arm down, using it to brace my body up, only to realize my arm was….. slimmer.I gasped, unable to comprehend what was going on as soon as I spotted my hair splaying down. It was now wavy black. It used to be straight blonde.I swallowed, blinking to confirm if I was seeing things but I wasn't.“I told you, Dad, she isn't awake! She's too lazy! She's ungrateful!" A heard a lady's voice from outside the room.My eyes darted to the door before looking back at the man who had a frown across his forehead.“She's awake, Rose. She's only turning a deaf ear,"."There's no way that lazybone
††003††AGAIN, TAKE NOTE OF THE LAST NAME IN THE POINT OF VIEW!Jasmine Harp's Point Of View:“Excited for you?" I mouthed, my hand flying to cup my mouth but it failed as it quivered away. “Tell me this is a joke, Dylan, you tell me!" I yelled."This is not a joke, Jas. Who would be proud to call you his girlfriend. You are nothing but a fat bitch who will never match up to Seraph,” Dylan retorted.Everyone gasped.His words stabbed my heart, punching a hole in me. Was it his words that punched a hole in me or the fact that his words were true.I had always tried my best to be like Seraphina since I had known her. I envied her slender stature. But I, on the other hand, was nothing but a chubby fool who no one loves apparently.I sought for words to retort but my head was empty, I couldn't even process the words so well yet, let alone thinking of a response.“When you knew you didn't love me, Dylan, why did you pretend? Seraph, you knew. Why did you pretend to be my bestie? Why?!” I y

Who would believe me if I said that I have only celebrated one birthday my whole life which I couldn't remember since I was just a year old. The only thing that made me aware of my one year old birthday was the photos taken.And yes. I, Jasmine Harp, am twenty two years old. All my birthdays seemed like normal days to me. I didn't celebrate my freaky fifteen, not even the special sweet sixteen, let alone my big one-eight or my twentieth birthday.I knew I was miserable but again, the lie does the trick and makes me feel good ag

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.

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
