Chapter sixteen(get married to him)Sapphire's Point Of View:โYou'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.โWhat'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.โI won't until you tell me what the problem is. You don't seem fine." She said, worry evident in her eyes."Leave.โ 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.โWhy 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
Chapter seventeen(Sapphire Is Cheating on me!)Tyler's Point Of View:Sapphire got into another man's car right in front of me and left.She didn't care one bit about me and this was only happening because I love her and I care way too much.Little did she know that when I'm done, I'm fucking done. That's the only reason why I was trying my best not to be done but she crossed the line.Though I've been advised by my friends to propose to her or someone else would grab her, I insisted. I felt I needed to know her better.And just today when I planned to propose to her, she ruined the date.Sapphire was cheating on me, I could tell in her eyes.But she loved me more than whoever she was cheating on me with.My phone vibrated, jolting me awake from my thoughts. I fetched it out of my pocket and casted my gaze on the bright screen.DAD: 'Come home now, we need to talk.โ.Talk about what?!I threw my phone to the back seat, ignoring the message before starting the car again.My thoughts we
Chapter eighteen(Tyler, we are done)Sapphire's Point Of View:โYou must get married to him,".I snapped my neck towards Mum but then burst into a little laughter before moving straight into the small dining area. I figured she was kidding me. Or she must be. If not, then she should be.โOh. Wait, you made spaghetti and meatballs? Great!โI exclaimed as I stared at the mouthwatering food before me.I drew out a seat and settled down, grabbing a fork to shove some spaghetti.โI'm not kidding, Sapphire. He seems like a nice guy and he looks good with you and you look the happiest around him,โ,I scoffed, โI'm not in for jokes tonight, Mum. You should be kidding me if you aren't. Weren't you pleading with me to return to Tyler if he comes back begging, a few hours ago? And now you want me to marry a stranger that you didn't even know how I got to know. You're ridiculous,โ.She laughed, throwing her hands in the air, "Take a joke and relax, darling,",I rolled my eyes, shoving the spaghett
Chapter nineteen (Landon's proposal)Sapphire's Point Of View:โWhat do you mean by something came up?! Ain't I important to you, or perhaps I am not worth your time if that is where you're going?!โ Landon raised his voice, banging his hand on the desk.I shook at his thunderous voice. โI'm sorry," I apologized in a small voice.He had been ranting since I arrived about the gala. That night was terrible for me but how would I explain to him that I had to go through a mental breakdown.Besides, even if I wasn't going through any of that, how did he expect me to come to a gala where my own boyfriend will be present, being his own lady.He was basically trying to use me to his advantage, wasn't he? But what other choice do I have, right?โAll you've been mumbling is you're sorry. How sorry are you? You don't seem sorry like you say, not one bit. Are you trying to humiliate me? Now look what you did, basically all the single mothers on the internet are going on about me currently. Do you
Chapter twenty(the line is drawn, Sapphire)Tyler's Point Of View:I didn't know what I was thinking that day and that night but I was going to fix everything today.I hurt Sapphire and I agreed. I agreed I only played as a chameleon all along, deceiving and manipulating her to think I was a nice man.But today, I was going to fix it. Even if she asks me to leave, I would not this time since I knew Sapphire loved me deep down inside and that bastard wasn't her boyfriend.I knew he wasn't in any way connected to her aside from normal friendship and if he was, well then, adios! I'm going to take my Sapphire back!โGive me the car keys," I commanded my Butler.He took the keys from his pocket and gave it to me. I immediately snatched them, heading towards the door without another word.Slamming the door, I inserted the key and twisted it, igniting the engine.I zoomed off immediately, heading for Sapphire's house. It was a Monday morning, a new week to start a fresh relationship with Sap
Chapter twenty-one(my ex-husband)Phoebe's Point Of View:โI'm sorry, Mrs. Sage, but I'll have to leave now. An important meeting came up,โ Tyler spoke, flashing me a sweet smile after raising his gaze from the phone.I nodded, โSure, you may take your leave but don't forget to return before Sapphire gets home, okay? I can't imagine that wedding being canceled,โ.He smiled but it was evident the smile was forced, "It might be canceled for now since something unexpected might come up, I have a hunch, but either way, we're going to have a wedding quite soon.โ."I'm anticipating that wedding, of course. I can't wait,โ I squealed out, leading him to the door."And then you'll be the next with your prince charming. I can't wait to meet him, whoever he is,โ He laughed.I waved my hands in the air, blushing. โAh. Quit it, Tyler. You sure do know how to make me smile, don't you, huh?".He nodded, winking, "I got ya!โ.โWell, safe journey and return early, okay?โ.He nodded, โI sure will do th
Chapter twenty-two(In his office: 18+)Sapphire's Point Of View:A smirk appeared on his lips immediately before he said the words that would literally change everything and make me happy for some reason even though it was something I wasn't so interested in.His lips parted and they released the words, โI'll help your mafia family make a name, I'll help you build a name that wherever you step in, everyone trembles,โ.I liked the words. Maybe it was the way he said it that made them sound astonishing since I didn't fancy dominance.I waved my hands, laughing, โAy! Ay! No! I'm not a monster. But the mafia family thing though, my mum has been bugging me since like forever!โ."Maybe she just cares. You know. Mums.โ."You should meet my Mum. She's more annoying than just Mums. She made my childhood nightmares for me, rather than beds of roses,โI let out a sigh.He nodded, "There you have it, darling. Wake up! Life's tough-โ,I cut him off, โDo you have a Mum?โ I abruptly asked.His eyes w
Chapter twenty-three(Sapphire is in danger!)Phoebe's Point Of View:I felt a lump build up in my throat but I dared not swallow it as I feared if I swallowed, my throat would budge and push against the razor sharp dagger that was against my neck, and that would be the end for me.โWhere is your daughter?!โ A hoarse voice said from behind me.โLet me go! Who are you and who sent you! How dare you attack me!" I yelled, raising my voice but gritting my teeth."Where is she?!โ He shouted."Rather slit my throat instead. I'm not selling my daughter out,โ I said.He pressed the dagger further, making my heart jump. As I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling a sharp pain in my neck, I spoke immediately.โShe's at work!!" I shouted.โWhere does she work?!" He yelled, releasing my neck slightly."I don't know where she works, I swear!" I responded.โAre you lying to us? How dare you?โ He demanded, intensifying the pressure on my neck again.โNo, I'm not,โ I breathed, feeling pain pound through me.T
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 โจโจYes, that Jasmine that only showed up once, Sapphire's Twin Sister.You'll
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.โTyler!" 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.โI'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.โHello?" 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:โWho?" 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.โCalm down. Easy there, sweetie,โ I said, rubbing his chest gently as he coughed.His arm began to shake since he was using them to brace his body.โLay 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.โAre you okay now?" I asked, only to realize his eyes were closed. A gasp escaped my lips as my eyes widened. โTyler!!" I shouted, gently tapping him but he didn't budge.My hand cupped my mouth. โOh 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.โSorry!" 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~โI'm risking five million dollars."
