The guy dropped a drunk Sapphire on the bed and she groaned. "Daddy…daddy come back" She said sleepily and the guy gave an obscene smile. "Your daddy's right here baby" He kissed down her neck and started touching her all over. He took off his shirt hurriedly and pulled down his pants. After which he zipped her dress down and took it off until she was just in her bra and undies. He was already feeling hard staring at such a sexy woman. He was about to take her bra off when he heard a knock on the door. "Who the fuck is that? He growled. The knock came again and he groaned. He went to get the door and was surprised to see a tall and extremely good looking man dressed in suit. "Is this room taken? The man asked in a deep baritone voice peering into the room and he frowned."Obviously! Are you blind? Fuck off! He made to close the door but the man held it open with his hands and forced his way in. He stared at the half naked woman on the bed. "What the hell…you looking for a fight
Lance walked in that moment. He had gone out jogging earlier. He noticed Sapphire was awake. Their eyes clocked and he looked away. She probably wouldn't remember what she said last night but it still made him uncomfortable and unsure of himself. Sapphire bit her lips as she stared at him. Why was he so quiet? Wasn't he going to say anything? She sighed. "J…Janet told me about yesterday…thank you" She said forcefully with a gulp and he looked at her. She noticed the look in his eyes were very different than usual. However he snorted. "Your alcohol tolerance is pretty low. What the hell were you thinking when you went drinking? Sapphire looked away in embarrassment. She had expected him to mock her but the tone in his voice was more embarrassing. Why was he talking like he cared?"Well, what I was thinking shouldn't be your concern""You were dead drunk and you ran off. Where the hell do you think I found you? You were almost raped. You know that? He snapped at her and her ears sto
At the Clawson's office building, Greg was busy collaborating with his team on how they would solve the crisis at hand. Steve, Fred and Elisa weren't left behind. He however excused himself from the meeting and went to the coffee room during lunch break when Lance walked in with a gentle smile. "Afternoon father"Greg scoffed. "You look rather smug these days, now don't you? Can't help grinning over your brother's failure huh?"Ronald's failure has actually placed the company in a bad spot. It's not something to celebrate. Unlike some people who are too busy fawning over the opportunity to be MD, I have better plans" "Tch. Are you telling me you don't want to be MD? I don't believe that. I know you Lance. I watched you grow so I know that's nothing but a lie" Lance smirked. "Watched me grow? Hmm. I always remembered being under surveillance by many eyes. Yours and mother's certainly weren't one of them. Either way it's not a lie. I'm really not interested. I've been too busy t
Lance's phone rang out at that moment and he paused. Sapphire felt like her mind had been snapped back to reality. Her face went crimson red. What was she doing? She pushed him but he was much stronger than her so he held her hand and pinned it over her head instead. "Let me go" She struggled and a malicious smile came to his face. "I'd like to do that but I can't help but enjoy this sight the more" He gazed down at her exposed chest and her face quivered in embarrassment. She looked away. "You…you pervert…let go of me or I'll scream! He smirked but released her hand and got up. She quickly clipped her bra and pulled her shirt together to cover it but it was no use. Lance had pulled all the buttons out when he ripped it. Her hands shook. He was a beast but then what about her? Why had she let him touch her like that? Once he touched her, it had felt like all her sense of reasoning had disappeared. Was that how vulnerable she was around him? She got up and moved away from him. S
Lance arrived at the mansion when everyone was having dinner in silence. After the mess the company had been thrown in, no one would dare start a conversation in front of elder Clawson without getting chewed out. "Good evening, grandfather"The old man simply nodded as he sat down. Lance looked around the table and noticed Lauren was absent from the gathering. Where was she?"Where's Lauren? "What are we? Your wife's keepers? Pearl muttered scornfully and Devon nudged at her with his elbow. She scoffed and continued eating. "Oh, Lauren said she was feeling a bit cold so she stayed back in her room" Aunty Kathy said and he raised a brow. Was she sick? She had seemed fine earlier when she had barged into his office. He couldn't help but remember what happened between them at the office. He had wished it didn't end so soon. He sighed. He had said he didn't want anything to do with her but yet, he had no idea why he hadn't been able to control himself around her back then just like p
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
