Sapphire woke up the next day feeling extremely lazy. She noticed Lance's wardrobe had been left slightly open and the leather jacket he wore last night had been left on the side table. He must have come in early, changed and went out without waking her. Then again he probably didn't want to see her. She frowned. She didn't want to see him too anyway. 'Liar' Her thoughts echoed but she ignored them and got up. She might as well arrange his stuff. She kept his jacket and made to lock his wardrobe when she saw an old book tucked away at the lowest part of the wardrobe. What was that? She was overwhelmed by curiousity and picked it up. It was dusty. She cleaned it up and opened it.It was a photo album! There were lots of photos in it. She saw photos of Lance when he was a baby."Awwnn" She cooed. He was so adorable. He never lost those villainously sexy eyes though. She opened further and she saw photos of Lance and Ronald as kids. They were smiling in most of them. They seemed so hap
Pearl smiled as she watched the news in her chamber. The fire incident had already made its way to the news. Paying Dean to set the building on fire was worth it. After all, that bitch couldn't send her to jail without evidence. Suddenly Devon barged into the room the next minute. "Babe, what the hell were you thinking? He snapped and she chuckled. "You've heard the news too right? It's all over social media too. Clawson fashion store gets burnt down barely a week after new management is put in place. Lauren's really in for it. It's hilarious""Did your burning down the building also involve killing someone? Since when did you become so cold hearted?Her ear stood on edge and she sat up. "What are you talking about? I didn't kill anyone. Dean said no one was in the building when she left""Well your stupid Dean was wrong. Lauren had been in the building when she set it on fire! Devon slammed furiously and Pearl's eyes widened. Devon never got mad at her. Him shouting at her meant h
Sapphire froze as she read through the headlines. Was she seeing right?"This…what is this?! "That video. This is most definitely Esther Marshals doing. I'm very sorry for my uselessness ma'am. I couldn't protect you from this" Marcus said remorsefully and she sighed. "No, this isn't your fault. It's not like we knew this was going to happen. I can't believe this! I've got a $870 million debt stashed on my shoulder, a part of the department store just got razed down and now this? Why am I so unlucky? "Don't say that ma'am. There's nothing wrong with you ma'am and it isn't your fault. It's that Miss Marshal's fault. I'm sure she heard about the fire and used it to her advantage! That callous woman! Not only is she running after your husband, she's also trying to ruin your reputation" Janet snapped enraged. Marcus sighted a few reporters coming into the hospital but it was too late, they had already seen Sapphire. "There she is! Mrs Clawson…! A reporter called and Sapphire's heart
Meanwhile Esther just arrived her penthouse along with her friend Stephanie. "Way to go girl! That wretch doesn't stand a chance" Stephanie laughed as she tossed her bag on the couch. "I know right? She's such a lowlife. She's just getting a taste of what she deserves. She thinks she can steal Lance away from me? She hasn't seen anything yet"Suddenly her phone rang out at that moment. "Who's that? Stephanie asked taking off her shirt. "Oh, it's the old man. I'll take this real quick. Hello da….."You damn brat. What the hell did you do? Tyron Marshal's enraged voice rang at the other side of the line and Esther froze. Her dad never yelled at her. "Daddy, what did I do? Why are you screaming at me like that?"Don't you dare daddy me, you brat. What the fuck did you do to the Clawsons?"The Clawsons? I mean I didn't do anything. Well I played a little game on one of them, that's all. It wasn't seriou….""A little game? You messed with someone dangerous in the Clawson family, didn'
Sapphire woke up the next morning to receive one of the greatest shock of her life. The rumours about her in the media had been resolved in a twinkle of an eye. Esther Marshal had come out to say that Lauren wasn't the one in the video and that her sources had simply misled her. She gave a public apology and said something about going to apologize to her personally when she had the chance. That didn't work well in Esther's favor as a few people bashed her for doing something like that without being sure first. "Isn't this exciting news ma'am? You can walk freely again""Is this…Lance's doing? How did he get Esther to do this? She scoffed and sighed. Who knows, maybe he threatened to end their relationship. Sapphire was seated on the bed when a knock came at the door. Janet went to get the door and Lance came in. Sapphire felt a lump in her throat, she didn't know what to say. "Welcome sir. Mistress, I'll take my leave now" Janet bowed and went outside. An awkward silence hung in
The rumours had died down completely much to Sapphire's relief. All the articles about her had also been pulled down too. It was so surprising. She wondered if Lance had anything to do with it. Was he really that influential? He couldn't possibly be responsible anyway. She was however thankful he had made Esther confess to the truth. She scoffed. Who would have thought she'd actually be appreciating him after all he did to her. She was really hopeless. Despite her appreciation the jerk still had the guts to request for a pay back. She had ran off earlier in the morning before he could tell her whatever it was he wanted. She couldn't believe how arrogant he could be. She only hoped he didn't request something naughty. She flushed at the possibility "Ma'am, we're here" Janet tapped on her arm and she flinched. "Already? She asked as Janet arranged her flower patterned Chiffon shirt and her black flared pants. Marcus opened the car door after which both ladies alighted. A smirk cam
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. The old man had probably sneaked into his study,
"Fine! Sapphire spat with a frown and Lance smirked. "Alright then. I'll have my secretary transfer the renovation funds to you"She scoffed and turned to leave. "Wait, I haven't told you my first request"Sapphire's hair stood on edge and she turned."Ugh. You're doing this. Right now?He raised a brow and she sighed. "Anyway, here's my first request………"Brenda had hurried to the office to catch up with Lance but she felt her heart stop when Tina the secretary told her that Lance was inside the office with Lauren. She stifled the urge to bawl. Lauren was here? Right now? Why? Why did that bitch always have to ruin her plans?She went home fuming. She had to put her plan into motion. She couldn't let Lauren couldn't steal Lance from her. There was no way Lance loved that woman that much! She would get Lance back.Sapphire walked outside the office with a puzzled look on her face. She was still baffled at Lance's request. Sure she had expected that he would request for something ins
