His Little Pawn The truth hurts
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
His Little Pawn The letter
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 Bad bitch
The next day, I woke up earlier than usual. Lance wasn't in the room at the time. I didn't care the least anyway as I had better things to think about.Like the paper from last night. I heard a knock from the door. "It's me Mrs Lauren, are you awake?I snorted. Wouldn't that wake me up if I wasn't? "I'm awake"Janet pushed the door and walked in with a tray in her hands. I raised a brow. "Mrs Brenda sent this to you. It's coconut milk tea. She says it helps the skin when you take it in the early hours of the day"Hm. She was really making such an attempt to bond, wasn't she? She must be lonely in the mansion. Unfortunately, I wouldn't always be around like she expected. I had some plans up my sleeve. "Alright. Drop it there. Thank you. Hey, do you know whose handwriting this is?I flashed the paper in Janet's face and she shook her head. "Not in the slightest ma'am ""Are you serious? Doesn't it belong to anyone here in the mansion?"Ma'am, I was only hired just recently upon you
His Little Pawn We meet again
Third person POVRonald was dressing up in preparation for his trip when Brenda walked into the room."Oh, you're almost ready? The flight doesn't leave for the next three hours though" She said sadly. "So what? I should stay home with you? I'll pass. I have better places to be""Like with your multiple girlfriends? She muttered under breathe and he glared at her. "What did you say?"I said it's not because of me but Junior. He was expecting you'd go watch his game for 20 minutes at least. You can go to the airport after that. You never go to any of his games""What does he have you for? Do your job Brenda and make yourself useful " He spat and she sighed. He carried his briefcase but she held it. "Wait. Ronald…Junior…Junior needs a father in his life. You're not always around. He isn't happy about it""Pfft. Then make him happy. I was raised by nannies all my life. You don't see whining. Get out of my way woman" He pushed her away violently and she almost fell. She gasped and tear
His Little Pawn Frenemies
Lance's POVWilliams and I were having a little discussion when he stopped all of a sudden. "Isn't that your wife? He said and I raised a brow. I turned and I saw her standing behind us. There was this strange way she looked at Williams that I couldn't understand. What the hell was she doing here and why now?"Why the hell are you here? I snapped. "Who is that? She shot at me glaring at Williams. "Why the fuck do you care? Didn't you say not to meddle in your business? I expect the same courtesy"Williams stood up with a smile and stretched his hand for a handshake."Em…sorry. You must be Lauren. I'm Williams, Lance's friend""Hmm. Friend indeed" She scoffed, rolled her eyes and walked away leaving his hand hanging. Williams was stunned. "Oh…..she's more of tigress than you told me""She's been acting that way ever since Elisa tried to assassinate her""Your mother tried to assassinate her? His eyes bulged. "She also found out the reason I married her so she's being more defiant
His Little Pawn You drive me crazy
When Ronald came back to the company, he was applauded and celebrated for securing the contract. The fool had been all smiles that day as he bragged on and on. Everyone who had been doubtful were relieved and surprised. Pearl in particular was stunned. "Doesn't this seem too easy? There's no way Ronald could have gotten that contract. Not with his skills. He probably had his assistants do all the work" She ranted. "And you came all the way to my office to tell me that? I raised a brow. She sighed. "Doesn't it bother you Lance? I mean we both know Ronald. We grew up together! That guy's an idiot. He might have gotten the contract but he'll ruin the company eventually! Did you know since he became MD, we've encountered an 8% decline in profits""Babe, your father told you not to talk about that" Devon muttered as he stood by a corner. I had suspected Ronald's current position would affect the company but I never thought it would be that bad so soon. Why would grandfather let this h
His Little Pawn The surprise
A small party was organized to celebrate Ronald's successful sealing of the contract. Greg spearheaded the entire thing. After all, he said every success deserved a worthy celebration.Lance was putting on his shirt when Sapphire walked into the room, all dazzled up. "Your aunt said to call you""Hmm" He said with a nod as he buttoned his shirt. Sapphire sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "Are you okay? "My well-being is non of your concern"Sapphire bit her lips and moved closer to where he stood besides the bed. He had been quiet around her for a while. No sarcastic or mean remarks. That smug and cocky look on his face was no longer there too. Had she been too harsh to him the last time? But he had started it though. "Lance….are you acting this way because of last time?"Or are you upset, Ronald's been thrown a party? He's your brother but you don't like him much, do you?He didn't say a word but started lacing his shoes.She sighed. It was probably because of last time.
His Little Pawn The surprise 2
Sapphire tried to move away but he tightened his hand around her shoulder and neck. "Hey..let me go" "Ah, where are you off to sweetheart? We haven't even had a conversation yet. Relax" He said touching her hair softly. It made her feel sick. "What do you want? Sapphire asked. "Elisa told me what you did to her""And so?"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You might not know what will happen next"Sapphire scoffed and with all the energy in her body, flung his hand away. "What will you do? Try to kill me? Sorry but your lover already tried that and failed"Sapphire said with a sneer and she saw the man's eyes widen in surprise. "Elisa tried to get rid of you herself?"Why don't you ask your lover? She told you what I did to her huh? Why didn't she tell you what she did to me? You both better be careful unless you want your secret out in the open"He gasped at her in surprise and disbelief. So Elisa had tried to dispose of this bitch herself but yet her mouth was still as sharp as

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,
