"Where are you coming from?" Carlos's voice was low and menacing. He was breathing hard as though he just ran a marathon and was standing there. Calling her again the next second, this time his tone was angry, restless and desperate."I asked, ``Where are you coming from?"
Sapphire jumped with fear on the strength of his words. The tone that always stayed serene towards her echoed terror in the strong walls of the opulent room. She had never heard Carlos so malicious towards her. "I heard you had used all your smartness against the bodyguards to get Scroll released. Finished taking care of your Romeo?"
The statement felt very cheap to her ears. Sapphire didn't imagine even in her wildest dream her husband being a billionaire and CEO of a multi million dollar firm would stoop so low on his conduct.
Two hours later she received an MMS on her phone which stopped the beat of her heart. It was the MMS from Mr Guild. Sapphire's face went covered in sweat as she saw the video. Immediately there popped a message getting her stilled in a matter of seconds. "If you want to see the truth with your own eyes, come to the paradise apartment flat number 505." Sapphire raced to the entrance and twisted the door knob. Thankfully it wasn't locked. Today morning when he wished them fortuitously Carlos seemed to be in a cheerful mood. He did not continue to hold her captive in the house. Probably he thought of the well-being of Akira. She might have to take her to the hospital in case of an increase in inflammation or redness. But thankfully their daughter was fine. The
Chapter 24 Few minutes later…. "My love, I have been dying not being able to see you. Where did you go without informing anyone? If not for the jammer installed in your mobile..." Carlos shook his head and his lips landed on her neck. He bit her, sucked her there with a yearn of passion making his mark. "Do not do such crazy things." His breath was ragged after the bite, covered with desire but at the same time with a kind of control and power. Moving closer, he shifted her head up and then kissed her in wantonness, lust and most importantly in an undying love. A whoosh of abhorrence strikes Sapphire's existence as she plants her hands on his chest and pushes him away. "Stay away from me you womanizer."
Chapter 25 He took out his phone and spoke. "Keep the files needed, ready on my table. I will get there in fifteen minutes." Carlos patted the cheeks of Sapphire peeking at her in an unbound love. "We will settle this situation in the evening when I come back. I am very busy now, I have a conference call with the company's shareholders and soon after many meetings are lined up." Reaching the dressing table he put on cufflinks on his sleeves. "Akira should be reaching home shortly but the vehicle which went to pick her broke on its way to reach the school. Do not worry." He quickly added, noting the instant anxiety on Sapphire's features. "One of its tyres got punctured. The driver is safe and Akira is not with him." He picked a red tie from several ties hanging i
As soon as she left the lawyers office, tears ushered in streams from Sapphire's eyes. She could not think after a decade of blissful married life and eighteen years of gratified relationship she would one day file a divorce with her husband who she loved more than her life.That night she did not want to face Carlos. He was her heart, her life and her everything. She knew he had an unsurpassed power upon her that could twirl her judgment in favor of him at any moment but she sentenced herself not to fall in the pit again.Sasha had been throughout the ride consoling her but to no avail. Sapphire wouldn't stop crying. Guild called her but she was not in the right state to answer. So Sasha replied in place of her.Reaching Sasha's house, Sapphire picked a bottle of beer
Carlos thought if he would stop eating maybe she would relish the breakfast. Her face looked tired and drained; he would bet she did not eat anything last night. After all, she was his wife and he can read her features like an open book even when her lips are zipped. But before he could arrive at a solution, Sapphire rose from the bed."I am not feeling hungry and I need to go." She spoke blandly."But mamma today is Sunday, a holiday for you and daddy." Akira's words stopped her on tracks which relieved Carlos but his happiness was short-lived.Sapphire came out with a genuine smile. "I am busy, Princess." She kissed Akira's cheek and walked away without sparing a glance to Carlos.Carlos watched
Chapter 28 "Please do not do this to me." His voice was desperate pleading her. Akira is my life. You are leaving me, kindly do not separate her also. I will not be able to live." He spoke shattered. Carlos was no longer bothered about his reputation in the society or goodwill of his company. He only called the things as an excuse to retain Sapphire as his wife. He would never, under any terms divorce her. She was his breath and he cannot live without her. "You said you are going to give me anything in return for not divorcing you." Sapphire reminded Carlos, folding her hands across her chest. "I do not want Akira's innocence to be ransacked. She better stay away from the affection of her father than discover him as a womanizer with a new woman in his bed everyday.
Chapter 29It has been a month since the incident happened outside the restaurant. Scroll insists on Sapphire to take divorce from Carlos so that they have an unconfined relationship without any threats and grudges from anyone.In a way, Scroll was right. Sapphire needed to take her next step and it was already high time. Sasha supported Scroll's advice and so did Guild.Scroll has already employed an architect to construct his new office in New South Wales. He wants Sapphire to join him, taking a transfer from the present office.Scroll is a very friendly and good natured guy. He even offered to father Akira like a real dad. Being a psychiatrist, he understands how broken Sapphire is finding out the true color of h
For your kind information Sapphire, this lady is speaking from the samples/ report collection department. Your test results have arrived and she wants me to collect them from downstairs." Though Carlos was in a flame of heat at Sapphire's dirty comments on him every now and then, he controlled himself and walked to the exit.The doctor came after half an hour and studied the reports. But for the feedback he gave, Sapphire jumped out of her skin in utter despair while Carlos was in the joys of spring with his eyes twinkling like a thousand watt tube light."Ms Sapphire, you're six weeks pregnant." He called in a light smile."Thank you so much doctor." Carlos answered in place of her, who was still in shock and couldn't resist but hug him.
Chapter 54Cadell was the silent spectator enjoying the chemistry of daddy and daughter in all smiles. The plane ride was full of fun with Sylvia asking endless questions to her father and Ian replying to them with not even a tinge of impatience.He had already got one of the rooms developed into a princess theme with pink and purple dominating the colors. Sylvia was very happy to see her new bedroom. Her room at Athens was not small but it wasn't as big as the one she is presently seeing in New York.Two days after they reached New York, both of them along with Sylvia went to Ian's parents home. Carlos and Sapphire were very happy to receive their son and his family.Their joy was without boundari
Chapter 53Ian's Adam's apple bobbed looking at her beguiling sex appeal. His eyes stare at her tempting naked figure in an animalistic wantonness.He hovered upon her gazing down and licked his lips. His eyes darken in a ferocious desire. There was a fire of passion running in their bodies.His hands run from her shoulders, passing through her breasts and reaching the center of her feminism.Cadell took a shaky staggered breath as his hands crossed her most intimate parts of her body. Before her mind could register on what would happen next, his finger beat into her clitoris like an arrow into the target.A loud moan went out of Cadell and body
Chapter 52Cadell held his rough cheeks in her soft palms and he deepened the kiss pounding his tongue into her mouth."So long it had been since I enjoyed this moment." His voice went muffled as he kissed her denser, stronger and harder.Ian sat on the bed beside her and leaning on the headboard, he brought her to his lap. His tongue once again hooked cavernous into her mouth occupying every corner.Cadell's soft palms went relishing his muscular frame. Her arms passed through his strong shoulder blades, reaching down to his brawny chest, feeling the robust abs and the thick mane on his well built sternum.Ian pulled her rough into him and smooched her lik
Chapter 51He picked her from the bed with no words and walked out of the room carrying her bridal style. Humanity kept watching them like they were posing for a cover of a popular romance movie.She was not the soft heroine of one of those romance books. She is a fighter, a virago who has made even the national criminals and worst underworld leaders to taste their own shit. But the handsome Romeo Ian Walkhart was the one and only person in the world who had the capacity of arising in her the romantic titillation which she did not know she possessed.Cadell watched him in awe, putting her fragile soft arms around his strong shoulders to balance her in his arms. Her words went sealed, mind blocked and jaw dropped at his power of virility. The way he carried himself with an au
Chapter 50There were no words spoken between them and probably Ian was telling her the truth because Cadell could see care in his every action.She was deeply involved in her thoughts when she choked on the food she was being fed and Ian hurriedly brought a glass of water to her mouth. Cadell could find the affection in his actions for her.She had just finished her breakfast when there were giggles heard from the corridor. Ian and Cadell knew pretty well who the owner of the voice was.Akira and David walked inside with kids Sylvia and Esther. Their son Allen, who was older to Esther by three years, now studies in a hostel."Daddy" Sylvi
Chapter 49"Sir, we are calling you from Ridgewood hospital. Ms Cadell Campbell is admitted here on an emergency care. The last call that she received was from your number. Are you anywhere related to her?" And the woman's words cut the breath out of his throat. Ian was still standing there like a statue clasping the phone to his ears when the receptionist's voice was heard again bringing him out of the thick reverie he was in."Sir, are you there? Should I call the next number?" Ian shook as if she could see him, his mind refused to function and then it struck all of a sudden that he had to use his words. "That won't be necessary. I am her husband, can you just send me the location?""Sure" there was a reply and the call went dead. The earth stopped moving around for
Chapter 48"What is your father's name Sylvia?"He ran his hands on her head in a care. His heart was beating against the rib cage like a rummage when he asked her the nerve shattering question.Sylvia twisted her lips. "I have not seen my father. My mom says he joined the military and has not returned since then.""Typical Charlotte" he murmured, wrapping his lips in a thin line with indignation but the joy on Ian's features was matchless as he heard Sylvia's reply. He kissed her forehead and hugged her to his chest tight like never to go parting.Akira engaged the girls into a deep conversation and shared a look with her brother in an unspoken communicati
Chapter 47 "I think it's high time you move on in your life Ian. Charlotte has left you and she is not going to return." Akira, Ian's sister, told him before she serves breakfast on his plate. Charlotte Benz alias Cadell Campbell left her employment and the city of New York because somewhere she felt guilty of going unjustified towards her job. When going to the CIA she made an oath to her that she will fulfill the duty and serve her country to the best of her abilities but she fell in love with the man who was her client and prime suspect in the case. The Walkharts are the leaders in underworld business. The complete police department and CIA knew about it but they were the most powerful people
Chapter 46 Taking him in their vehicle one of the officers spoke sternly, caring least about his position. "Three hours later, officer Cadell Campbell will be coming to interrogate you. Speak truth and only the truth to her because she is very harsh with terrorists and traitors." Ian was under the temptation to kill all of them. He wonders who had done this mischief on him because Walkhart's deals are carefully sealed in every possible scenario. Every underworld contract is made under strict surveillance that there is no third eye to notice it Nobody dares to invoke the black eye of Walkharts because once they do they will not have any existence in the world. He decided to see the end of th
