2024-10-29 19:42:56Esther was someone I was familiar with. She was dressed in a low neck sleeveless blouse which showed a pretty nice portion of her cleavage and her skin tight dress accentuated her tiny waist pretty well. Her long blonde hair fell over her shoulder and her eyes twinkled with delight and a hint of passion. She was a renowned model. A goddess in the world of beauty. A devious and rather impressive wretch but a tramp all the same.
"What a pleasant surprise" I said, hands in my pocket. "Really? Of course it should be after you disappeared that day and abandoned me at that hotel" She scoffed and I raised a brow. We had had a one night stand. I couldn't deny that she was good but nothing particularly thrilling. What more had she been expecting? "I see you came along with your father" "Of course. It seems someone refused to send me an invite. Why? Scared I'll make your lovely wife feel insecure? I'm sure she wouldn't mind knowing her husband had a one night stand a month to their wedding" I smirked. "I'm sure I sent one out to your residence. Maybe an error? In the meantime you should enjoy the party. I need to be somewhere right now"I didn't have to waste my time on her. A pest was the last thing I needed right now.
"Oh abandoning me so soon? She said with a purr and inched closer till her breasts were gently brushing my chest. I looked down on her and she gazed back, flickering her lashes with a sexy look. She ran her finger on my chest. Was this her pitiful attempt at seduction?
"You know, I haven't been able to sleep well since what happened between us. I just kept thinking about you. Your handsome face kept me up all night. The thought of your touch just kept driving me crazy Lance. It doesn't matter if you're married Lance, we can still...... "Lance.....? A shrill but soft feminine voice called and I turned to see the bitch. My new wife. She had this look on her face that I couldn't read. Her eyes were.....cold. "Oh, Mrs Lance, my apologies. I didn't see you there. I hadn't even realized anyone was there in the first place. Forgive my manners. I am Esther Marshal, a very good friend of your husband" She said with a hint of mockery as she inched back a little bit and I saw Sapphire force a smile. "I...see...it's nice to meet you. Esther..." She turned to look at me. "Your grandfather called for you. You should go to him, that is when you're done flirting" She snapped with that blank smile on her face and I raised a brow. Esther gave a feigned gasp and shook her head. "Oh no, you've got it all wrong mrs Clawson. I was only talking with him. Nothing more" "of course you were. I never said otherwise" She snapped and moved away. I furrowed my brows as I felt my annoyance creep to my throat. what the hell was that? Who the hell did she think she was to speak out of terms and to me? I pulled away from Esther as I moved away. I caught up to her and gripped tightly at her wrist, spinning her round. "What the hell do you think you're doing? What was that? She looked me dead in the eyes for split seconds and I was left stunned but then she looked away suddenly, her eyes to the ground. "Even if you hate me so much......you could...you could at least have a little courtesy. What kind of man flirts openly with another woman at his own wedding reception? I glared at her in amusement and smirked. I gripped at her wrist tighter and inched closer to her. She winced and struggled to pull her hand away. "Let go.... "Tch. You'll be a piece of paper or a garbage bin if I say so. Don't ever get any idea or get cocky. I'll do with you, whatever I want and if you see your measly life as something of any value, then I suggest you know your place and do the fuck what I say" She winced a little until I released my hold on her wrist. I could hear her whimper but I simply ignored it. She could shed blood for all I care. "Wait here and do nothing. I'll be back in a few minutes" I growled as I moved away from her towards my grandfather who stood along with a few others. Sapphire's POV I didn't know if I was supposed to cry or scream. My wrist burned slightly at his extremely tight grip and my heart at everything else. Was I going to live like this? I couldn't remember when last I felt so completely powerless. I was still mopping in my thoughts I didn't realize when someone approached me. "Lauren, right? I looked up to see Pearl, Lance's sister and my sister in-law. She was far more beautiful up close and her eyes twinkled. She looked like her mother however she had a scowl on her face. "We couldn't officially get the chance to meet before the wedding but I'm sure you must know who I am already" I nodded. "Good, I must say, I was surprised when I heard my brother was getting married. Much more surprised when I saw it was someone I'd never heard of before. Miss Dennis from Hamilton University right? From the prestigious Dennis family at Hamilton? I'm friends with quite a lot of people from Hamilton. Since you're from a prestigious family, your parents must certainly be part of the Eagle's club at Hamilton for all top socialites right? How come I've never heard of your family then? I flinched. Eagle's club? A socialite club at Hamilton? I'd never heard of it before. What would I say? Yes? If they were prestigious then they certainly would be a part of that club, right? I made to say yes but I paused. Why did it feel like she was testing me? Her eyes.... There was this uncertain dark glare in her eyes that I couldn't pin point like the one I saw in Lance's eyes. The Clawson family wasn't one to be messed with. I didn't know anything about Lance's history with his family or why the hell he wounded up a lie just to marry me or why he even married me but as long as I was here, I needed to be careful. I took a deep breathe and I looked at her. "I apologize but....I've never heard of any Eagle's club at Hamilton. I grew rather isolated and I was homeschooled. My parents weren't always present in the house and kept me locked out of any sort of social activity" I saw her twist her lips and suddenly give a smile which looked crooked. "I see. I'm sorry for straining you. You certainly wouldn't know in that case. Please don't mind me, you should enjoy the party. It is your special day after all. If you'll excuse me" She gave a gentle curt bend, a flat smile and moved away. My heart pounded against my chest. What was that?Related chapters
His Little Pawn The Clawson family
Third person POV Elisa Clawson stood fixated at a corner , a glass cup in her hands with her eyes resting on the newly weds who at the moment were having their first dance. 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. I wish you didn't have to tolerate him. I wish he didn't have to have acce
His Little Pawn Sudden Tragedy
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.
His Little Pawn Sexy eyes
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
His Little Pawn Murderer?
"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? He left witho
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
His Little Pawn A kiss and a hiss
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"
His Little Pawn Watch your steps
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
His Little Pawn Watch your steps 2
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

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,
