Sapphire's POV

A group of people were waiting just outside for us. Exotically dressed people. One sexy looking Prima Dona decked with gold came catwalking towards us with a wide beam and I could swear her beauty was blinding. She stretched her hands as we approached.

"Oh, Lancy! She exclaimed and I stifled the urge to snicker. Lancy? I saw Mr. Pretty man give a soft smile. One which almost looked sincere. He released his hold on me as he embraced her. I was grateful. I didn't know how much more I could take him holding me that way.

"Lancy, how many years has it been? Ten? Fifteen? Wow. I can't remember the last time I saw you"

"You don't have to call me that, Aunt Kathy. I'm not twelve anymore. Lance will do just fine"

I saw her give a sweet smile.

"Wow. My boy's all grown up into a man. You're just as handsome as your father" She gave a slight pause and turned to me. I froze for a moment as I didn't know if I was supposed to say something.

"Em…morning ma'am" I managed to stutter while Lance gave me a cold glance like a warning. I needed to compose myself. Aunt Kathy released her hold on him and moved to where I was.

"You must be Lauren. I've heard so much about you from my sister-in-law. Oh, you're just like they said, beautiful and innocent to look at. My nephew sure has good eyes. Come now, give your aunt in law a hug"

Oh, she was nice. She pulled me into a warm hug. She smelled so nice. I never expected that someone from the Clawson family would be so nice.

I saw Lance walk over to where the others stood and he bowed gently to an old man, one I suspected to be elder Clawson the patriarch of the family. Standing beside him to the right was Lance's mother, Elisa. She was pretty. I could see where Lance got his eyes from. To the left was his father, he was like an older version of Lance. Just as good looking.

I could recognize them because Lance had shown me a picture of them. The others there were cousins, uncles and aunts and his younger sister Pearl. His older brother Ronald wasn't here though.

Soon fleets of limousines arrived and everyone got in their various rides. Our next destination was the grand Luxe resort and hotels where our wedding would be taking place. In a separate limo, I was seated alone in the back seat along with Lance whose pretentious smiles of earlier had been wiped off his face.

The air between us was so quiet it was beginning to get awkward. Well, it's not like I could initiate a conversation though so I kept put until I slowly fell asleep.

Minutes later I felt a sharp slap on my right arm and I opened my eyes to see Lance's annoyed eyes.

"Get out" He snapped and alighted the car while I blinked my eyes in confusion. We were already there? I could see the resort's magnificent structures from where I sat. We were here!

I adjusted my dress and came down. Our driver helped shut the door and I hurried to keep up with Lance's pace. My legs had begun to hurt because of the heels.

"Lance….wait…I…. " My ankle twisted and I fell down.

Lance stopped and turned to look at me with a blank expression. He scoffed and turned away when I heard a voice.

"You still don't know how to treat a woman right. A real shame I'd say". A cool voice came and I looked up to see another insanely handsome figure towering over me. He looked like....he looked a lot like Elisa Lance's mother except he was blonde. He was a bit shorter than Lance. It was his brother, Ronald! He stretched his hand towards me and I took it in gratitude. His hands were soft and gentle. He flashed me a smile afterwards and my heart skipped a beat. It made me flush.

"You okay, love?

"Emm …ye…yes ..I'm fine"

He was like an angel.

"Forgive my brother. You see Lance has always had an attitude disorder especially towards beautiful women. I'm sure you should know him better since you're his fiancee"

"Oh….I.." I looked to Lance whose eyes had gone dark by now. I saw him take gentle strides to where we were and pulled me away from Ronald in a kind of possessive manner. I gasped. What the hell? He stood between the both of us, his hand gripping at my wrist.

"Long time no see…Ronald" His voice came.

Ronald smiled.

"Come on now Lance, is that how you say hello to your big brother. I mean I haven't seen you in like eight years? It's been a while. I'm surprised to see you honestly"

"That's the same thing mother said to me. You both seem rather disappointed" Lance chipped in with a cocky smirk and Ronald gave a gentle laugh trying to moderate his tone.

"Not at all. I was just surprised when dad told me you were getting married. I mean the mighty Lance Clawson. Slayer of women. I never expected it"

Lance scoffed.

"Slayer? Beats being an ass licker though"

I saw Ronald's brow furrow at that statement and he forced a smile.

"Anyways, I just arrived a few minutes ago. I apologize for not being there to welcome you and your lovely fiance. We are all here so we can all spend time as a family together. I'll be off then. It was nice meeting you angel. What is your name?

He directed at me and raised his hand for a handshake.

"Her name's Lauren. She doesn't talk much" Lance said.

"Oh tiger, why don't you let her do the talking?

"Why don't you mind your god-damned business?

Ronald raised his hands in defeat.

"Oh k. Man, you've always been so damn hot headed. I guess some things never change. I'll see you at the wedding" Ronald said, flashing me a dazzling smile and walking off.

What just happened in front of me? Are these two brothers?

"Let's go"

Lance pulled me without another word and I had to suck in the pain from my aching ankles. We took the elevator to the top floor where we stopped. Lance had released me by now while I waddled like a duck.

He used a key card and the door to a suite opened up. It was like a penthouse. The room was exquisite with a king sized bed and a chandelier. It even had a full set dining within and it smelt like rose petals. I shut the door and without another word flung the heels off my feet. I jumped on the soft bed afterwards.

"Oh my gosh……aahhhh. Freedom! I thought my ankles were done for! You know you should at least ask me what sort of things I like before getting them for me"

He didn't say a word to my comment as he stared through the large glass walls, his hands in his pockets. I sighed. Why was he always like this? His family didn't seem so bad like I had heard but he was like a real statue. Cold and unreadable. The only thing I could sense in him was spite.

"Why do you seem so grumpy and angry all the time? Your aunt was pretty nice to me and your brother seemed kind of cool too….

I heard him scoff at that junction.

"Stay away from him if you know what's good for you" He said as he took off his suit jacket.

I shook my head.

"You don't seem to think highly of him as a younger brother should"

"I see he's caught you interest already. Classic" He chuckled bitterly and I creased a brow. Was this jealousy or what? I smirked and folded my hands across my chest.

"Why does it sound like you're jealous?

He let out a mocking chuckle the next minute and turned to look at me still in his shirt.

"Oh, I'm far from jealous. Let's just say Ronald is like a blood sucking leech. He has this insane desire to always claim what's mine and ruin it so I'd watch my back if I were you although I don't expect much from a daft bitch so the choice is pretty much yours" He snorted afterwards and I frowned.

"I'm not daft"

"I doubt that"

He said and I saw him walk into the bathroom. I sat down deep in thoughts. Why did his words for some reason sound like he was being sincere? However Ronald didn't seem like what he said he was. He didn't seem that way at all.

What kind of family was this really?

He had this blank and unreadable expression in his eyes. I felt my legs quaking beneath my $1,000,000 wedding dress. I still couldn't believe I was getting married to this man. I wish I could run away. Only yesterday we arrived he had locked me out of our room and made me sleep on the balcony instead in the freezing cold.

For some reason she couldn't help but feel so uneasy. "You're troubled too, right? She heard a voice behind her and she spun round to see her cousin Alfonso who was draped in a quality cream colored tuxedo standing behind her. He gave a sly smile. She didn't even know when he arrived. "What are you doing here Alfonso? She half yelled and he gave a shrug. "I came to meet my sweet cousin of course. Besides didn't you miss me? You barely call these days" He said as he slipped his hand around her waist. She frowned and slapped his hands away. "Behave yourself. we're in public and my husband is around here somewhere " She said in a whisper and he scoffed. "It must be tiring sharing a bed with that oaf. Honestly at times I get jealous.

    Sapphire's POV I moved past the halls hurriedly, my heart threatening to tear right out my chest. Someone was planning to kill Lance. I couldn't tell who. I couldn't recognize their voices either but I couldn't sit back and do nothing. Who could it possibly be? The thought of all of this was frightening me. I could just let this happen though. If Lance died maybe I would be freed but then ...why ....why was I moving? He was a horrible person but I....I couldn't just sit back and let this happen. I was rushing through the hotel lobby when I crashed into someone. I staggered and nearly fell but he held my hands. I gasped and looked up. It was Ronald. He gave a wide smile. "Hello beautiful. I was wondering where you were" His voice came as he gripped my wrist gently. "Mr.....Ronald...em... , I just went to use the bathroom earlier. Em, I didn't see you at the wedding earlier or the reception so I thought you wouldn't come." I forced a smile. Within me, I wished he would let me go.

    Sapphire's POV I pried my eyes open with a groan. I was on a hospital bed in a private ward. What happened? I suddenly remembered what had happened. How I had stopped Lance from getting poisoned and had gotten poisoned instead. I groaned and clutched at my chest. I was alive. For a minute, I could have sworn I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The door flung open the next minute and the doctor walked in along with Aunty Kathy and Mrs Elisa, my mother in-law. Aunty Kathy gave a heavy sigh of relief clasping her hands together while Mrs Elisa had this somewhat insincere look of worry on her face. Her eyes betrayed her.Why did it seem like she was disappointed? "She's awake! Thank goodness. Lauren how are you doing? Who would do such a horrible thing? Aunt Kathy moved to my side and touched my cheek softly. "Are you alright? Her gentle voice came and I forced a smile.Of course I wasn't fine. It was obvious but her niceness was so pure and bewitching. She was differ

    "Don't....don't tempt me Sapphire, you won't like it" His husky voice came and my eyes widened. It was one of the first time he was calling me by name. Why did it sound so sexy when he called my name? It was so... But then suddenlyi saw him sigh. He pulled away, got up and turned to leave without sparing me a glance. Wait what..... He stopped in his tracks halfway across the room. "I'll have my personal assistant Travis take you round town for shopping when we get back to the mansion as a recompense. I don't intend to remain in your debt. Keep that in mind" It felt like a block had been dropped on my head. Why was he acting like he hadn't just rushed at me like a wild hound few seconds ago? Why was he acting like nothing had happened between us? Did he just do that to tease me? I flushed in embarrassment when I realized if he hadn't pulled back, I would have probably let him have his way with me like some cheap tramp. Sapphire, what the hell is wrong with you?

How did I get on the bed? If I could remember right, aunty Kathy had come pick me up from the hospital. She helped me to the suite and I sat outside on the balcony bench till I fell asleep.I slept outside last night so how....... Or was I dreaming?The bathroom door was flung open that instant and I saw a half dressed Lance come out. He was still wet wearing a white robe which was left open, exposing his muscular upper body and a white towel was wrapped around his waist. He wiped his hair with another towel. I couldn't help but notice how hot he looked with his hair roughened and his ripped body on full display. His cold eyes shot to my direction all of a sudden and I looked away with a gulp. I suddenly remembered how he kissed me yesterday and I flushed.Wait, was he the one who carried me to the bed? Did he d

    Sapphire's POVWe arrived the Clawson mansion after a few hours. The idea of living cooped up from now on with a bunch of unseeming rich folks made my hair stand on edge.For all I know someone tried to poison Lance and like he said, it could be anyone, even his family. Lance hadn't spoken to me since I talked back at him at the parking lot. I glanced at his direction a few times on the plane.He had been busy with his tablet as usual. Not saying a word.He didn't mock me as usual or throw insults at me. It made me shudder. What was he possibly thinking? What was going on in his mind? At the mansion, we were welcomed by the staff and the head butler whose name I found out was Mr Dawson. Elder Clawson introduced me to the entire staff and after a cherry welcome and tons of congratulations, I followed Lance to where would now become our bedroom. It was larger than my entire apartment. Luxurious with a king sized bed as soft as wool. The room was finesse at it's peak. "It's beautiful"

"She ran off before I could even get close. These legs don't work as fast as they used to anymore""We're doomed. We're doomed Alfonso! Oh goodness! This can't be happening. This..This is all your fault! Elisa hit him profusely on the elbow and he winched with a frown. "How? "I told you not to talk so loud! That wretched woman must have heard everything we said including Ronald being our son! If Lance finds out about that then it'll…."Relax. He won't find out" Alfonso snorted. "How? "I said relax love. You don't have anything to worry about. I'll take care of that bitch. You know I always take care of these things. Just don't ruin your pretty face with wrinkles" He caressed her cheek with his finger with a carefree look and it seemed to aggravate Elisa the more. "Always?!

    "Lance" She muttered softly. He kissed her again, this time deeper as he ran his hand through her hair. Sapphire felt her body throb in need. She was yearning for his touch and this time she couldn't deny it. She held his collar as he kissed her more violently. She moaned softly. He ran his hand down her back and over her hair. He pulled back and wrapped his arms around her. "I want you Sapphire" He whispered into her ears in deep heavy breathes. "Then..what…are you waiting for? She stuttered softly and his eyes glowed. Just then, he swept her off her feet and carried her to their room. He laid her down on the bed and climbed over her, using his right arm to support his weight on the bed to avoid crushing her. He kissed her again. This time more hungrily. His tongue swirled entangling with hers. He pushed her dress up as he ran his left hand ran up her thigh softly. He trailed his tongue down her neck, planting kisses on the nape of her neck and sucking it slightly. She felt the

    Sapphire gave a fresh gasp of relief when she alighted the car. She had sworn she almost suffocated despite the AC. Lance was just so damn close to her. He wasn't sparing any moment to make her uncomfortable, right? It was more frustrating how she hated it but liked it at the same time. Sapphire looked at the bungalow in front of her and raised a brow. Did the driver bring them to a wrong place? Sure, the place was exquisite but nothing special. Lance walked over to meet her and he caught her confused looks. "Not what you were expecting? He said, hands in his pockets. "Hm. Not really"He gave a slightly amused smile. "What? You said it was a massive surprise. I expected something more thrilling" She shrugged in her defence. "Why don't you see the surprise before concluding? Let's go" He held her hand and pulled her along. Having him holding her hand like that made her heart feel fuzzy. It was unlike other times. It was filled with nothing but warmth.

    Esther flashed a sassy smile. "Oh, if it isn't Lauren. I didn't see you there. You presence is just so weak as usual" Esther spat with a lace of venom as she pushed a lock of her hair behind her shoulders. Sapphire's jaw tightened. Esther was in Dubai too? Had she come here because she heard they would be here? But no one was supposed to know. "Hi Lance. You look more handsome today than you did last night" Esther said with a sly wink and Sapphire felt her blood boil. Last night? She raised a brow and turned to look at Lance who didn't say a word. She couldn't believe it! He had been with Esther all night. He must have probably invited her too! The bastard! After all the nonsense he spewed when they were both in the Jacuzzi. "Say, didn't you miss me Lance? You didn't even say goodbye last night. That was so cold. I was kind of lonely after you left" Esther said with a slight moan and Sapphire couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing the two of them flirt in front of her. She turned to La

    Lance intensified the kiss as he held her closer. It almost felt like he was on fire. He had never felt this way in a very long time. This woman was driving him crazy. He wanted her right now. He wanted to feel every inch of her and make love to her from dusk till dawn but then he knew he needed to take things slow. If he went any further, she'd probably pull away. Like last time. He pulled away gently and caressed her cheeks as he gazed into her eyes but Sapphire looked away sheepishly. What was she doing? Why was she feeling this way for him when she knew without a doubt that he was simply using her? It felt like her senses had just kicked in. She pulled away from his arms. "Staying…staying with you tonight didn't include kissing me"He smirked. "You didn't seem like you wanted me to stop. I don't mind kissing you all over again all night long" He said in a husky tone and she gulped with a blush. She moved away from him a little. He chuckled, got out of the Jacuzzi and came bac

    Sapphire sat by her reading table, a book in her hands. She had dismissed Janet for the night and she couldn't help but feel so alone and scared. What was Lance really planning for the honeymoon tomorrow? Maybe it was also part of his ploy and he was only using the trip to Dubai as a cover to do something else. Just then Lance came out of the bathroom, half naked except a towel which was wrapped around his waist. She resisted the urge to gaze at his hot body and just looked away. She swallowed. If she didn't ask now, she probably wouldn't know."Lance""Yes?"Why….why did you suddenly request we go on a honeymoon? "I just felt like it. After all we're husband and wife. Shouldn't we get to spend time with one another?"Huh? Sapphire looked at him wide eyed and he shot her a sexy look. She flushed and looked away embarrassed. "But..but…this marriage is nothing but a sham. You…you only got married to me to access your family's empire so why should you care? Or is this another one of

The celebration took place in Elder Clawson's private balcony. For some reason Kathy had talked grandfather into it and he had agreed. While everyone talked and chatted, Sapphire's mind couldn't help but be elsewhere. She couldn't stop thinking about Lance's request. What was he really planning?"Ma'am, do you need a drink? Janet asked with a bright smile and she sighed. A drink was the last thing she wanted. With Elisa running lose, there was no telling what she'd do. She could plan to poison her. "I'm okay J" "Elder Clawson isn't present at the party" Sapphire noticed. It was strange. "He must want to rest. I heard Mr Steve telling Mr Fred that he had gone to sleep in his chambers""Oh" "Mr Lance isn't here also" Janet noted and Sapphire grimaced. "That's a good thing" She whispered to herself.

    A conference at the Clawson office complex was ongoing. Greg was presenting a remedy to the problem the company was facing. That was clinching a certain project with the Gregorys who were known for their credibility. "This was what I thought about and after compiling stats, I'm certain this will help the company growth" Everyone at the conference was stunned. No one possibly expected a loser like Greg to come up with such a majestic idea. A majority agreed to follow Greg's plans. After the conference ended, a bunch of the board members hovered around him commending him and telling him how brilliant his idea was. He grinned. "Well what can I say? I can be rather surprising eh? He said and they burst into laughter. Lance scoffed. He knew his thieving father would steal his idea. He had prepared a few documents on a good strategy plan to solve the problem too and had intentionally kept them carelessly in his study room at the mansion.
