His Little Pawn I'll show you who's boss
Sapphire's POVThe light rays hit my face and my eyes pried open. I looked around. I was at the resort suite. On the bed.On the bed? I gasped, sat up and flung the duvet away. 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"

Third person POVElisa felt her heart stop as the footsteps faded away. She pulled at her hair in hysteria. Alfonso came back after shutting the door with a pant. "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?! If you hadn't messed up with Lance at Californ

I woke up to a new week feeling rather unenthusiastic. I had a nightmare the previous night. Elisa's face couldn't help but be in it. I sat up on the couch with a stretch and looked to the empty bed. Lance must have woken up already. Since I arrived the magnificent Clawson mansion, I've had to sleep on the couch or on the balcony when Mr pretty man was in a bad mood. I didn't tell Lance about Elisa's secret. How she wanted to have him killed or how she still desired to have him killed and also about how Ronald was an illegitimate child she had with the strange man she was speaking with. I ran my hand over my hair. Why would a sophisticated woman like Elisa cheat on her husband and deceive him to believe Ronald was his son? Why would she want to kill her other son to protect the illegitimate one's inheritance? Or were they both illegitimate possibly?I heard scruffling of feet behind me and I turned to see Lance fully draped in a black tuxedo. I didn't notice him earlier. He was kn

Esther approached me along with a friend of hers. Her flawless gold blonde hair fell down her open shoulders. She was dressed real sexy. Even as a woman, it was hard not to oogle at her. Her full bossom was barely even in the dress she was wearing and her tiny waist was well accentuated. It wasn't a surprise why she was such a wanted item in all the modeling industries and also highly desired by men. She was a goddess. I couldn't help but feel super inferior. It wasn't a surprise why Lance would be crazy over her. "Hi Lauren. I'm really surprised meeting you here""Same" I muttered. She giggled half-heartedly and flung her hair over her shoulders. "Oh, well seeing as I own this boutique, I can always afford to be around most of the time. You know I'm a rather very busy lady. I don't have the luxury to sit at home doing nothing" She said and I couldn't help but catch the venom in her voice. Oh goodness. That damn Travis brought me to the wrong place. "By the way, shouldn't you be o

Lance's POV I sat behind the conference table like the rest of the board as Christian the junior strategist gave a detailed explanation concerning a project the company desired to embark on. It was a joint funded project with a Chinese company. One which would roll out millions in profits. The building project would be carried out in Salt Lake City. They hadn't gotten the contract though and this was a deliberation meeting to decide on who would travel to China to meet with them. Grandfather, Greg, Elisa, Steve, Aunt Kathy, Fred, Abigail, Pearl and Ronald were at the table along with some other non-family board members. I could already see Mr Fred's eyes glim with greed as Christian talked about profits. Of course being a building contract, he would be more interested. Fred Clawson, unlike what the media thought was not a family friend but the adopted son of Elder Clawson. He handled one of the company's largest departments, construction and building. Outwardly he managed it eff

Sapphire's POVI slept off in the hospital reception while waiting. Janet and Travis had remained by my side watching over me. After what happened, they were probably too scared to leave me alone or so I thought. I felt a hand tap on my shoulder and I jerked up from sleep gently. I gasped when I saw Lance leaning towards me. What was he doing here?"Why are you here? Where's…."I couldn't see Travis or Janet in sight. They had left me all alone?"Are you okay? He asked gently and I stared at him. Huh? Was I okay? Was I okay!I was almost killed! His freaking mother had tried to kill me and here he was asking if I was okay?I scoffed and turned away viciously. "What are you doing here? Did you come over to check if I was dead? Sorry to disappoint you and your family but I'm pretty much alive. You can go now"I saw him crease his brow and narrow his eyes at me. "What do you mean my family? "It's not something new Lance. I'm sure you and your family all want me dead or something. Y

Sapphire's POVI walked into the mansion. Everyone would be back from the office by now except Brenda who was a stay at home wife. They said she was so talentless in business and had been a model but for some reason her career ended when she married Ronald. "Mrs Lauren, if you walk too fast on these floors you might slip" Janet said as she hurried behind me. "Do I look like a toddler to you Janet? I snapped and shot her a cold look. "Oh no, ma'am I.…."You're back. Welcome" That was Brenda's voice. She smiled softly. She seemed like such a gentle soul. I hoped that was what she really was. "Ah….yes. Thanks""Didn't you go shopping? Where's your stuff?"Hmm?Right, my shopping bags. Travis had driven away with them probably. I smiled. "It's with the driver. He'll bring it up himself""Alright. Dinner will be ready soon, you mind helping me in the kitchen?She cooked? But there were like a hundred servants in the mansion""Oh, em….sure"She moved away and I followed hurriedly leavi

His Little Pawn A promise
"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
His Little Pawn I want you baby
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. They moved into the buildin
His Little Pawn A little gift
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
His Little Pawn I want you baby
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
His Little Pawn A sexy honeymoon
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
His Little Pawn Heated dinner
A celebration was held at the mansion that night. Greg's plans or stolen ideas rather had worked out! It came as both a relief and surprise to everyone. 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. "Did you say anything ma'am?"E
His Little Pawn Fury
Pearl scoffed immediately Sapphire walked out of the kitchen and Brenda rolled her eyes. "Since when did you run errands for Aunt Kathy? Is this the result of grandfather kicking you out of the company? Brenda spat and Pearl gave a mocking laugh. "At least I'm better than a certain someone. It amazes me how much of a snake you are. Can you tell me? What's the secret to laughing along with someone you stabbed in the back?"Says the woman who tried to kill her, along with your brother!"Oh please! We both know that wasn't my intention! If there's someone who's capable of killing someone, it's you! You've always been a vile snake! A pretender and a complete phony! You act all good on the surface but I know you would have been happy if Lauren had died in the fire so you could steal her husband! You slut! Pearl spat and Brenda gasped enraged. "I dare you to say that again! Brenda spat and Pearl smirked. "Oh what? That you're a slut? I said it, so what? "Babe! Devon called as he walked
His Little Pawn One hell of a request
"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
His Little Pawn A request you can't back down from
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,
