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
Chapter Forty four(a c*ndom)Sapphire's Point Of View:As I zoomed through the road, the engine vibrated.I didn't know which turns I was taking but as long as I'm behind the wheels and this shit is only a bit lower than full tank, I'm gonna get home.I applied pressure on the brakes and the car stopped exactly in front of my house. I pulled out the key and stepped out of the car, jamming the door.Running, I drew closer to the house and the rage in me was starting to swell, at the brim of bursting.“Mum!” I yelled, slamming the door behind me so no one would hear her scream when I murder her.“Yes, darling. Ah… just as I expected.” Her voice was sly and steady as she walked down the stairs, looking into the wristwatch strapped on her left wrist.Her gaze raised to look at me. I lunged at her as she stepped down the stairs almost seductively.I grabbed her blouse harshly, forcefully pulling her down the stairs.“How dare you even think about doing such a thing?!” I shouted, spinning a
Chapter forty five(Phoebe is gone)Landon's Point Of View:As I settled in the office, scrolling through the internet and reading the unbelievable comments on the viral video, I rubbed my forehead, trying to figure out a way to get out of this mess.Where did this video come from? Did the hotel let someone spy? Or did the hotel leak this video? I was a hundred percent sure that they didn't leak our video, they were a five star hotel who respected privacy and stuck to their policy no matter what.And they wouldn't let someone spy on us and if it was a mistake, this wasn't about them, this was about who the spy was.The person must be very swift and smart and I could tell it was Eric. That bastard! But I wanted to find proof first and not assume shit. He might turn out to be innocent but I'm not so sure.Besides, Sapphire took my car so I couldn't leave this place until she's back or I would probably be at Eric's place now, whooping his ass.After minutes of scrolling through almost th
Chapter forty six(arrested for murder)Landon's Point Of View:I spun around, my gaze meeting the one of a man with brown hair. He was a bit shorter than I was but I could tell he was younger than me.“So you are the Landon who has the last piece of her heart huh? Well, I should introduce myself properly as the man who has all of her heart but is searching for the last piece,”.I scoffed. How would he even think I was in love with Phoebe to hold her heart. I was not even interested one bit.She's just obsessed with me and would stop at nothing to make me hers which is not possible.I cleared my throat, shoving my hands into my pockets. “Where is she?".“I'm not going to let her down like you did.”,"I will NOT repeat myself again, young man. Answer my question…” my voice become serious. “Where is she?!”."Find her if you want to s-”.I shoved my hand out of my pocket, bringing out my gun from the back of my pants.His mouth hung in the air as I stared at the gun in my hand, fiddling w
Chapter forty seven(Sonia is a millionaire?!)Landon's Point Of View:“Sonia?" I mumbled.“Yes, baby. It's me, your muffin." She said before biting her lower lip seductively.My lips curved downwards in disgust as I stared at her.“I can help you get out of here and nobody will talk about you being a murderer. It'll seem as if it all never happened,” She continued.I shook my head. “How am I supposed to believe that?".“I'm Sonia Prezin. Not Sonia Walter. I'm the only daughter of…” she paused for me to finish her statement for her.“Gianni Prezin. The millionaire attorney general.”.“That's right, darling. I can command them to let you go and NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will happen to your reputation!”.I didn't respond, I only looked at her, waiting for her next words.“In return…. I have you as mine and you let go of that bitch and you do whatever I say,”."I'm only leaving here to go rescue her. What's the point of me rescuing her then letting her go?” I asked.She shook her head b

Chapter forty eight(striking a deal with Eric)Landon's Point Of View:“Ahh!!" Kai screamed, his hand flying to hold his shoulder as his body slammed on the floor.I quickly removed the gun and rose.Gunshots filled the air but luckily, the person didn't target me so well.As soon as I fired my gun, everywhere became silent and the person stopped shooting, though the gun was still pointed at me.I moved forward, standing head to head against them.“Eric?" I mouthed.I couldn't see his full face properly but I could tell he was smirking even though I couldn't see his lips.He dropped the gun, leaving it to rattle against the cold floor of the warehouse, the sound clouding the entire space but I didn't drop mine, I pointed it right at him.“Where is she?!" I shouted.“She is mine, not yours, and she even trusted me more,”."But you broke her trust. I showed her I was a monster from the start, did you?”.“But did you show her why the monster wants her so badly, huh?”.“Answer my fucking
Chapter forty nine(What does he want from me?)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Put her in the bag.".“Dave?" I muttered, unable to believe that my right hand man in the mafia family is working against me.Or was this not the same diligent Dave who was always at my beck and call. The same man who honored me like a Queen and respected me as his Mafia Quee-I felt something hit my head from behind, making my thoughts go blank for a while.Then, the sky was spread right before me as my head slammed against the ground.Darkness kissed me.~My eyes wavered open slowly, taking in the features of the environment.I was in a dimly lit empty room with only a small lamp in a corner of the room. The room felt hot. No window, no door, no nothing.Just a ladder that went up to the ceiling.I was seated in a wooden chair.“Hello!” I shouted but my voice only echoed back to me despite that I was in a small room.I tried raising my body from the chair, only to realize that I was bound to it.The chair's
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."
