††032††Jasmine's Point Of View:Damon ran out of the booth.“Emergency!!" He shouted. “Someone is in there, he's not breathing!" He shouted again.Everyone gasped. "Did he kill him?” The murmurs increased.Ah, yes, just what I wanted to hear. Music to my ears.As the murmurs increased and everyone began to have their own belief and choose sides, the emergency of the college came with a stretcher, but the murmurs didn't stop.What we heard next was sirens, they were loud and clear.Damon's face looked confused as he spotted the cops who walked in next. A snitch must have called the cops.The cops walked towards Damon and looked at Dylan's dead body for a while before speaking with Damon, saying they would have to lock him up for the meantime.He tried arguing and refusing but that only made him look guilty.They took him away even though he was ranting and refusing. In the very end, everyone still kept murmuring and I had no choice but to leave.In the next few days, Damon was release
Chapter one(the night stand) Sapphire's Point Of View: “Drink up, Girl. It's my birthday!" Tiara, my best friend, shouted, her voice barely heard as the music was blasting from the speakers loudly. I nodded, clashing my glass against hers. I gulped it before letting out a sigh as it burned down my throat. She poured me another shot and was pouring hers when she immediately halted. She beat my arm repeatedly as her gaze was fixed behind me, her jaw hanging in the air. I slapped her hand off me before turning my neck, only to see three guys stepping in. They were triplets and I needn't lie, they were absolutely hot but not just my type. They seemed like the arrogant type which was exactly what I hated. “Oh. My. God!" Tiara squealed, getting a groan from me. I returned my gaze back to her, rolling my eyes. "Don't tell me you're drooling over these ones again. You literally crush on every single guy you set your eyes on! Know your worth and stop chasing these roaches!” I shou
Chapter two(Get married)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Where are you at?" His question made my heart skip a beat.“I…went to get something.”I lied."Oh. I see. I'm at your house now and I didn't find you. Your mum said she hasn't seen you since last night.” He replied.I waved at a taxi and he stopped before me. I stepped in.“Uhh….yeah, yeah. I was at Tiara's birthday party. I lodged into the hotel last night since it was too late to return home. But I'm heading home, I stopped to get something on my way home.”I lied again."Sure. I'll be waiting.” He responded."No, no. You actually don't have to wait for me. I'll take quite a long time before I return. Besides, you should be at work, shouldn't you?”,“Oh. Okay then, see you tonight, okay? And get home safe, your mum is worried sick.” He said."Sure. No problem. Thank you.”,"Bye. Love you.”.I blushed, "I love you more.”.Did I really? Did I actually love him? I just lied to him twice and I just slept with a man, a stranger at that. A
Chapter three(intertwined with the CEO)Sapphire's Point Of View:A sharp gasp escaped my lips in shock as mum's voice came from behind.“What are you doing here?" She asked. I turned immediately, closing the file.“I- you left your door open…” I stuttered."thanks.” She said, I left the room immediately. My phone rang with a notification. I took it out and saw a message from MI AMOR.I read, 'Hey, Sapphire. You acted a bit off today, are you okay? You can always talk to me. Love you.’.My heart jumped as I read the content of the text. I took deep breaths before replying, ‘Nothing, babe. Thank you. Love you too.’.~“Oh. My. God! Yes!!" I screamed as I read the email.'Hello there, we hope this email finds you well. After much consideration and deliberation, we're pleased to announce to you that you successfully secured the job with us. You are to resume work by 8am, March 1st. The location is below:’My heart skipped a beat at the date. That was today! Crap, I saw the email late. It
Chapter four(sex with a stranger) Landon's Point Of View: I rose up quietly, searching for the sheets, only to notice that bitch had left the hotel. I planned on having another round with her today but she left. Last night was amazing, that bitch wasn't so skilled but she made me feel what really great, the way I never felt with other ladies probably because this was my first time not using a condom. She seemed to be drunk last night which was an extra bonus for me, I did things to her, things that made me feel guilty of attempted murder. My phone rang as I got into my car. “Drive," I ordered the chauffeur who nodded before starting the engine. I answered the call. “Hey, Kai.". He replied, “Hey. Meet me at that popular bar. What's it called? Yeah, liquor bar.”. "It's too early to be at the bar.”. “I know you're mad at me. But just meet me there,”he said before ending the call. "Liquor bar.”I said to my chauffeur. He took a sharp left turn immediately. I arrived
Chapter five(A god or demon)Sapphire's Point Of View:A smirk crawled on his face, his blue eyes pinning me again the same way they did a few days ago. My heart ran wild, my grasp tightening on my bag as I tried looking away but I couldn't for some reason. We were intertwined.“Sit." He ordered, stretching out his hand to the seat across his. I nodded, flashing him a smile, “thank you, sir." I spoke so nicely that I couldn't help but wonder if it was truly me who spoke. The Sapphire I knew could never speak so nicely to a random man, especially one who I slept with.“Can we meet tonight?” He asked. His questions had my heart thumping hard against my ribcage. I began to stutter.“I-i- s-sure. Of course, I'll b-be here tonight.” I replied."No, no, not here. I mean in that same hotel.” He clarified. I averted his eyes for a while. “Courage, gorgeous.” He repeated those same words he said last night. “You'll be safe." He added.I nodded, "B-but I….”"Perhaps my house will be fine then?”
Chapter six(childhood memories)Sapphire's Point Of View:I went home immediately the next day. Last night was one of the hottest nights ever. Mr. Landon exceeded my expectations.He did things to me, I knew it. Things I didn't expect him to do. Things I thought he was joking about.‘I won't stop until you beg, until you cry.’ I remembered his sexy words.I sighed as I got out of the taxi and went into the house. Mum was there in the living room with some snacks and a blanket as she watched the tv.Crap! I thought she wouldn't be home, but how could I have forgotten that she had no job.She noticed me and immediately sprang out of the couch. “We have a threat!” She informed me.“When did I start taking the mafia family seriously?” I asked, laughing as I threw my bag on the couch.She stretched her hand and placed it on my shoulder. “I thought we talked about this. I understand you want a simple life but it's your responsibility right now, just for a few years. When you get married and
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 minutes’ 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.“Good 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 f

††031††Jasmine's Point Of View:I climbed back into the car, looking directly at the chauffeur through the rear view, our eyes meeting.I crossed my arms, not knowing how I should feel about being busted. I felt like it was a useless plan anyway, it wasn't necessary to make him jealous in this particular way.But at the same time, I was mad that my plan didn't work out just the way I planned it. It was embarrassing for me to have to beg her and get her forgiveness for trying to claim what isn't mine in the first place.“Return us to the hotel." I commanded the chauffeur.He nodded immediately, driving off slowly until we arrived at the hotel. I got out of the car, entering the hotel and making my way into my suite.I let out a sigh, my back hitting the bed. I remained in the position, not knowing when I fell into a deep slumber.It was the buzz of my phone on the bed that woke me up. I squinted my eyes, reaching for the phone and looking at the screen closely to look at the time.It
††030††“Hey, you're back." The man said as he flashed me a smile. "I thought you left the child and we've been planning to put them up for adoption actually.”I nodded, forcing a smile as I didn't even know what to say.“If I may ask, what made you leave that day? I mean you just had a surgery and you left straight up which was bad for your health at that moment in time.”I let out a sigh, shaking my head. "I'm really sorry. Can I just get to the next step now? I just want to do this fast and get out of here as soon as possible. I'm sorry if that actually sounded rude but I had no better way to put it. I just don't have all the time in the world.”He nodded. "I understand. Let me go get the papers for you to sign and claim your kids back since we were initially planning to out them up for adoption after proper maturity,”I nodded, watching him get out of his seat and walk out of the office.I sat there, staring at nothing exactly.In no time, he returned, but without any files in his
††029††Jasmine's Point Of View:"You want your child, huh?" I smirked. “So that's all you care about? That's not going to be a problem, the problem is I'm not giving you the child” I scoffed.He looked at me, pleading with his eyes but I couldn't care less.I jerked my hand away from him, turning to leave immediately with my personal bodyguards.We got outside the place and the shielded me from the approaching fans. Just as I was about to get in the car, I spotted Damon approaching on his wheelchair. I halted, looking directly at him even though this was not the best time for this.I swallowed, narrowing my eyes at him.He got to where my car was but my bodyguards didn't let him get close to me.He looked at me, trying to get past the bodyguard who didn't move an inch.“Let's have a conversation," he said, almost as if he was pleading.I shook my head. "No.” I simply responded.He looked me in the eye. “Why have you been ignoring my calls and everything? You've been ignoring me recen
††028††Jasmine's Point Of View:I began to stay at Dad's place as I couldn't return to Damon's home again. I couldn't stay with someone like him again under the same roof. It was like sleeping in the same room with a serpent, but luckily for me, I discovered the serpent even before he could consider biting me.I need not to tell him right in the face that it was over and I discovered all his schemes for him to know that I was no longer stupid.It took me nothing. Absolutely nothing. And he understithat his plans have been ruined. He tried explaining countless times, obviously to feed me lies and ensure his plan still works one way or the other, but I wasn't going to fall for the same trick twice so I didn't even give him the opportunity to get to me.I appreciated his help so far in helping me build a name in the modelling industry, but at the same time, he could have made it clear if he only wanted to do me a favor. And he could have also made it clear if he was using me. If he ment
††027††Dmitri's Point Of View:I just couldn't believe she could have done this to me. I understood that she hated me, but despite the hatred, I didn't see the need to do this to me.She knew well that my health was on its last legs and I was in pain. No one would be heartless enough to do this to their own father because he put them up for adoption.I thought I heard her mention that it was only an assignment, but that didn't matter.A lot of things have been happening recently and I thought life was only against my wife and I. I never knew it was all orchestrated by my own daughter who I already apologized to. I even went as far as arranging a letter for her, thinking she would understand and forgive me, only for her to send people to burn down my house, the place I've been stuck for months now even though I had more mansions.My health just didn't permit me to be moved here and there anymore. I only remained in one place, traveling from one place to another was stressful for me.B
††026††Jasmine's Point Of View:As I cracked the door open, I heard a high-pitched moan flowing out from inside the room. The moan continued, becoming louder and louder and what followed was the sound of meat slapping against each other.I swallowed, peeking into the mansion to get a glimpse of whatever was going on in the house. Just then, I was met with the shock of my life.There was Damon, thrusting into a woman with pull force and pulling out immediately, grinding in and out of her.That was none of my business, but what shocked me the most was that he was fucking standing which means he…. he was never actually crippled.Damon was able all these while? But he was only hiding it?A gasp fought to escape my throat, but I cupped my mouth immediately, silencing the gasp. I didn't realize tears were welling up in my eyes until it began to prick my iris so badly that I had to blink multiple times to hold back the tears.I felt my heart squeeze in my chest. I didn't know what hurt the
††025††Jasmine's Point Of View:“Where the hell do you think you're going?” The security men asked.I scoffed. “What do you mean?"“You haven't paid for the cleaning if all these. You need to pay the money we would give to our cleaners to clean this mess.”"Do I look like the reason this place was set on fire? I'm sure he was paying several thousands for this place in a year, so why can't you guys take care of little maintenance like this?” I asked, frowning."This isn't a little maintenance. This is a whole lot,”“The money he paid for this year hasn't been exhausted or has it? The year isn't over yet so use the rest. Thank you.” I responded, shoving them out of the way before walking out.I went out of the building and went straight out if the estate the into the car.“Where are we going to, miss?" Rufus asked, tilting his head to look at me.I fastened my seatbelt. “The headquarters. I have something to do there.”"Alright then.” He responded, starting the car and driving away.In
††024††Jasmine's Point Of View:After the man called the firefighters, they arrived in no time with their truck and equipment.As they trooped into the estate, I went in with them too, climbing on their truck with them and allowing them to carry me and the security men back to the burning house.They stepped out of the truck, gesturing for us to get down and move back, away from the fire and allow them to do their job.I swallowed, reluctantly going back as I watched them extinguish the first starting from the gate to cool it down.They then got closer to the gates, breaking it open. They then went in, extinguishing the fire of the whole mansion slowly and steadily until the whole house was safe.The two security men held me back as I tried to run inside, yelling and shouting to go search the mansion myself and see if my father was in the building.I fought hard to escape their grip. But all my attempts were futile as they held me even tighter.“Let me go!” I screamed, but they didn'
