I accidentally uploaded a chapter of my other book for the previous chapter of this book so it's completely wrong, it doesn't belong here. I'm Really sorry. And I can't delete chapters so I'll edit and replace it with the right chapter as soon as possible. However, it will go under a review first before it gets updated. the review will take a while though. WILL NOTIFY Y'ALL WHEN THE EDIT IS APPROVED AND REPLACED WITH THE RIGHT CONTENT.
Chapter thirty-eight (hectic day)Sapphire's Point Of View:We walked into the mansion, our footsteps echoing through the whole space as it was empty and dead silent like a graveyard.I stared up at the astonishing chandelier above which scattered light across the huge living room, leaving no corner untouched. Yes, I've been to his house before but not this one. I had a feeling that it's been long since anyone has been to this mansion, though it was all neat and tidy.An aquarium stood at the other end of the room. I could see the backyard through it, the aquarium served as a see through wall. There were some sofas in the backyard with a swimming pool that had artificial running waterfalls.My neck snapped to look at the grand staircase that was made with gray marbles. The staircase was shiny and neat just like the mansion itself. I feared my presence alone would stain the mansion.“Come.” Landon said, stretching his hand from the staircase.I stared at him for a while before climbin
Chapter thirty-nine(I'll let you go)Sapphire's Point Of View:“You're ten weeks pregnant, miss," Her Amber eyes lit up in joy.My eyes widened as I snatched the paper from her hand.POSITIVE?!!“I'm pregnant?! Two and half months?! By whom?!" I asked a stupid question as if the machines told her 'Sapphire Sage is ten weeks pregnant by…’.“I can't be pregnant now!" I added. I never planned to be pregnant when I was with Landon and that was not what I was concerned about. I was concerned because I knew well that Tyler was the father of the child but what would happen now when I broke his heart and he has broken mine back.How would I stand before my boyfriend who is now married to my best friend and tell him I was pregnant by him.I mean it made no sense when I was married to his father at the same time.I let out a sigh, standing before leaving the hospital. I went straight to the mansion.As soon as I got in, I slammed the door but still stood there, pressing my head against it in f
Chapter forty(humiliated at the hospital)Sapphire's Point Of View:I grabbed my purse. As little as the purse was, I packed everything I needed in it. At least enough money to start up a new life in a little apartment of my own. My credit card was in there too and some things in case of an emergency. And of course, my pregnancy results.I would return the purse and the clothes I was dressed in as soon as I start up my life as they didn't belong to me. I found them in this mansion and I wanted nothing to do with Landon anymore so I would return them.According to our agreement last night, if I slept with him, he would let me go and make Tyler mine again.Anyway, I didn't need Tyler to be mine anymore. In fact, I was happy for Tiara, she deserves him more than I do and even though she jumps on every attractive man she finds on the road, she never cheats on her partner and sleeps with other men no matter what.They can flirt with her but Tiara wouldn't have anything intimate with them
Chapter forty one(good girl)Sapphire's Point Of View:“T-tyler?" I whispered.He forced a smile, swiftly holding my wrist and pulling me to his side to face Sonia.“I won't let a bastard like you talk trash about her. At least measure up to her or worth more than she worths before you open that hell hole of yours and rant out bullshit! At least she is married, show off your ring finger and let's take a look!” Tyler spat, his voice loud and clear.Everyone gasped as they held their phones, trying to record the heated conversation between Tyler Danvers, a billionaire CEO, and a normal lady, including I, the legal wife of Landon Rykhard.But who am I to judge them when Tyler literally just cooked Sonia.The one who wants to disgrace has been disgraced instead.But I wasn't going to let him save me after getting married to my best friend. Yes, I lied, I am not happy for them.I was really jealous.I slipped my wrist out of his hand. “Tyler, I think you should mind you business, this is b
Chapter forty two(exposing the dirty contract)Phoebe's Point Of View:I wore an oversized hoodie and an evening skirt. Though they were not great matching outfits, I wasn't in my right senses these days to even pick a proper outfit.I slammed the door behind me before walking down the road, holding my shoulders as my eyes ran back and forth, examining the faces of everyone who looked at me as if I was crazy.I knew crazy was just what I looked like, with crazy outfit and ruffled hair looking exactly like a bird's nest. I didn't remember the last time I combed my hair.Combed my hair? I didn't even remember when I last took my bath. I knew I reeked and I was hideous from lack of proper care.My skin was getting pale and wrinkled but who cares about my skin. Who cares if I reeked?Who cares about everything when the man who my heart beat for was married to my own daughter and they were probably making the best memories of their lives.HE WAS MINE FIRST. I had him first! She stole him f
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 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." Luca
Chapter ninety two(airport encounter)Sapphire's Point of View:I couldn't believe it. The words that emerged from his lips. It felt as though I didn't hear him so well.I thought something else happened but I was right, I didn't hear him so well as gunshots floated through the air, overshadowing his whispering voice.I stumbled backwards, my eyes scanning the backdoor as that was where the gunshots came from.I waited patiently, silence prolonging the anticipation as my heart hammered against my ribcage.It took every little fiber of self-control in me to stand there and not tell in frustration.I could hear nothing. Everywhere was dead silent except for my pounding heart and my shallow breath.Just as I expected, the door cracked open, the metal creaks piercing the silence.The door finally swung open, revealing a muscular man with piercing onyx eyes.I took two steps back in fear as I gasped. My blood ran cold whilst the hair at the back of my neck stood to the end, the man's eyes
Chapter ninety one(book a flight)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Are you okay?" Dad asked, stretching his hand to touch me.“Don't. Touch. Me!" I gritted my teeth before bending and picking my phone immediately, then turning and walking out as fast as I could.I wasn't ready to continue my confrontation with Dad. When he was ready to make things right with me, he would tell me the truth and tell me everything I needed to know.I slammed the door, entering into the car.All that ran through my mind was TYLER. Was he okay? How did he get himself into an accident? Will he be fine?From the name of the hospital, I knew it was a famous hospital in Jersey so I probably wouldn't be able to go there tonight despite the fact that I wanted to see my husband and spend time with him so badly.How was he doing? Did he sustain serious injuries?Why's all these happening now! Just why?! First, my kids got kidnapped and now my husband was involved in an accident. What was going on? Why did the pressure h
Chapter ninety(treasures, not sacrifices)Sapphire's Point Of View:'Here is where the game begins, Ekaterina!’.My hand trembled as my face became tensed, dread etched on my expression whilst my hand quivered uncontrollably.I screamed in fear, running out of the room and dashing down the stairs with my heart pounding heavily in my chest.With my chest heaving up and down, heavy breaths escaping my shivering lips, I grabbed my handbag from my couch, pulling the zipper immediately.My hand went into the bag and came out with my phone in it. I scrolled through my contact list, clicking on Tyler's number and waiting for him to answer the call.“Answer the god-damned call!" I shouted, beads of sweat trickling down my forehead.The call didn't even go through. As I paced back and forth the room, biting my nails for comfort, I tried calling him again but it still didn't go through.“Fuck you!” I yelled, tossing the phone on the couch harshly as I fell to the floor, digging my nails into my
Chapter eighty nine(two sides of a coin)Tyler's Point Of View:“Two bottles of whiskey, please!!" Kevin shouted, gesturing for the bartender to bring in more alcohol.He grabbed the bottle of almost finished champagne and poured some more champagne into our glasses.We all raised our glasses, clashing them before downing the glass, sighing.“We did it!" Alvin cheered, joy evident in his voice.Oh yes, we sure did it! We bagged the new contract! I thought it would take longer but it didn't so I would be returning home to my wife, Sapphire, tomorrow.“I can finally return home to my family tomorrow!" I sighed.Seth shook his head. “No! Family aside, we need to celebrate first. Don't forget we are all married with kids and we got married before you, so don't act as if your family is special. We also need some time, you know, away from family to enjoy! We are dudes and we should be free!”.Kevin pat Seth on his back, commending him for his words."Since you don't know then I'll have to t
Chapter eighty eight(here iswhere the game begins)°†NOTE: I REALIZED I'VE BEEN SPELLING SERGEY WRONGLY AS SERGIO, GIVING IT AN ITALIAN ORIGIN INSTEAD OF RUSSIAN. IT'S TOO LATE TO CHANGE IT SO LET'S JUST KEEP GOING WITH SERGIO. JUST NOTE THAT THEY'RE RUSSIANS NOT ITALIANS†°Sapphire's Point Of View:~FOUR YEARS LATER~“Miss, we need you here,” The lady said from the other end of the call.“Why? My husband is on a business trip so why do you need me in his company?” I demanded."We need your signature in a very important contract and since Mr. Danvers isn't available, you need to show up and sign it in his place. We can't lose this contract. Miss, you need to sign this.”."If my husband didn't tell you, you should know that I actually am a stay-at-home wife and Mum for my kids and I prioritize that. Yes, I come to the company sometimes to see my husband and spend quality time with him and assist him, but that doesn't say that I am fully responsible when he's gone. Also, just in case yo
Chapter eighty seven(The wedding)Sapphire's Point Of View:The white dress hugged my waist, compressing my stomach in its material. The dress was perfectly shaped at the torso, holding two cups to accommodate my breasts.The waist area was carved slim to fit my figure. It was so tight that I felt like a barbie doll for a while but I got used to it. As long as it made me elegant, I accepted it.At the hips, it was shaped like brackets, bringing out the beauty of my hips.The white lace material then flared down from my knees. The design was amazing and Tyler knew what would look good on me. I trusted him and accepted to wear the dress he chose and I never regretted it.Green flag men might be boring but at least they treat you right, like the Queen you are. Red flags are fun, yes! But they are brutal. Some might treat you like a Queen when you're around other people but when you're with them alone, they act as if they couldn't care less about your existence.They would break your hea
