He took her to his room and laid her on his bed. She fell asleep out of exhaustion and stress.
Alexander sat beside her, observing her. Her tear-stained face, disheveled hair, dark circles under eyes were a clear indication that she was in pain inside.
His heart painfully clenched at the thought of when she asked him to kill her. Living was way too painful for her.
I know I am selfish, but I am in love. I can do everything for you; even die for you but I am not letting you go. I corrupted you and I will heal you. I have snatched your life but I will give everything back to you.
He vowed.
He took her hand and kissed her knuckles and then kissed her forehead. Just a mere touch of her smooth skin against his lip made him hungrier, wanting for more but he controlled himself.
He quickly made leave from there. He entered the bathroom, took a shower and came out.
He
Third Person's POV:She looked at him but didn't say anything. She weakly shook her head in negative and looked at another direction from Alexander. He cupped her face and softly made her look at him. "What's the matter? Tell me, angel." He told her. "Nothing at all. I am happy, really." She said, trying to smile but couldn't. Her smile didn't reach her eyes, she failed utterly. "I am happy." She whispered, a lone tear slipped from her eyes. Then it hit him that something was definitely wrong with her. He crinkled his eyebrows. He felt puzzled, why she was crying. Wasn't she a bit happy?! He wondered. "What's wrong, baby? Why are you crying then?" He softly asked, cupping her face, rubbing her shoulder. The sobs she was holding back, she burst into them. "Because, I miss him so much, badly. It hurts so much
Sapphire's POV:I felt so bored. I had nothing particular to do. I just got up, ate foods, pooped and slept and again repeated the damn process. I meant now it's too much. I was a girl who just turned 21; I wanted to do many things. Not just to sit and eat while caged in a mansion. Maids also didn't talk to me very much without necessity. Sometimes I felt suffocated, always alone. I got up and reached downstairs to have my breakfast. Alexander was gone early. He didn't even tell me yesterday. He was a selfish man. Really a selfish man. He wanted to have me all to himself, isolating me from the world. Couldn't he understand that I too felt bad, I too felt alone? Or God, is it you who always want to me stay alone? I wanted to talk to somebody. I had my breakfast and decided to peep inside the kitchen.
"Can't we stay here overnight? It's so beautiful." I whined Alexander chuckled. "If you really like this place, we can come here again. But not tonight. We don't have food or clothes." He told me. Pouting I returned with him. I didn't bother him anymore. He was busy with the laptop doing his works. I went to Twity and played with him. He was such a good dog. If I patted him, he would lick my hand. The next day, Alexander told me that someone important to me would come. He didn't say much and went to work quickly kissing me. I asked him but he just winked. I was reading a book about bacteria in the library when a maid came and told me that I had a guest. I went to the living room to see who could be this important guest. I didn't have any idea at all. I saw a girl was observing the rare wall paintings turning her back.
He was handsome in a blue suit but not as much as Alexander. "I am not alone here. My date is waiting for me. Excuse me then." I said awkwardly; didn't want to initiate any conversation. "You are in a hurry. He may wait a bit. How about we get to know each other? I am Ivan Morisson by the way." He suddenly pulled my wrist. Awkward man! "I am Sapphire Atkinson." I flatly said. I heard the announcement for dance was made and soon couples would be pairing up for the dance. "Let me have the pleasure to dance with you for once." He said pulling me towards the dance floor. "Mr. Morisson! I don't think it's a good idea. My date is waiting for me and I want to dance with him. Now excuse me." I dismissed him and about to walk that's when he again pulled me but harshly this time. I gasped in surprise. "I wasn't asking." His voice seemed commanding. "J
Sapphire's POV:I woke up and my head was pounding. With a groggy feeling, I opened my eyes and was welcome by the sunlight. I was covered by a blanket and was wearing a big white shirt and my black lacey underwear. I must be really drunk yesterday night. Whoever changed my dress! Alexander gave the maids the night off. And why the hell am I in his shirt?! Don't tell me that yesterday I had done it with him. I quickly touched between my legs over my panty. No, nothing was wrong. I wasn't sore or in pain. Then why the hell I am in his shirt?! I was tensed and embarrassed. I covered my body with the blanket more tightly and buried my face in my knees, thinking deep. "Nothing happened yesterday night." A deep sexy voice spoke up. I jumped in shock. It was Alexander.
Third person's POV:Sapphire was extremely happy. The smile wasn't moving from her lips. She called Bella and gave her the good news. She told her to come the next day and had Alexander send a car to pick her up. The next day, Bella came and Sapphire took her to her room. "So in which University are you going to apply?" Bella asked her. "I wanted to try Harvard but I think that won't happen as I have to stay here. Alexander won't let me go anywhere away." Sapphire sighed. "Wherever you go, it doesn't matter. A diamond sparkles everywhere." Bella commented. Sapphire rolled her eyes at her. "Sapphire let's go shopping together someday. We will have so much fun. It has been many days." Bella added excitedly. Sapphire couldn't say that every time she needed to ask Alexander before she does anything. She suddenly felt very angry. Her freedom had b
Six months later:Sapphire's classes for her first semester started and she was really busy with her study. She would have breakfast with Alexander and go to her university. She would come home and would start studying soon after resting a bit. She would come sometimes late home if she had practical lab classes. She was recognized as a good student by teachers. Her academic performance was good. There were some boys who even asked her out. She politely declined them. Thinking what would be Alexander's reaction, she wondered. He would beat them up or threaten badly. She made some friends- Tina, Chen, Clayton, Robert, Kim, Betty. As she was the brightest student, everyone liked her. Once, Betty asked Sapphire to help her with Virology assignment and she did. From then their friendship became stronger. The bodyguards waited outside as they weren't allowed to enter the campus with arms. It was a mat
Sapphire's POV:Today was my last theoretical exam of this semester. I was really tired of studying for this semester. I reached the university in time and attended the exam in time. Exam went good as usual; I actually got nervous during exam. Coming out of the exam hall, I quickly got out the campus gate. I got into car and went to Alexander's mansion. Actually I was so tired and exhausted, that I only wanted to sleep and rest. I got freshen up and had a something light. After that I threw my exhausted body on the bed to get sleep. I told the maids not to call me, let me sleep till I don't wake up. I slept wrapping my body with the soft blanket and was driven into the dreamland. "Angel.""Angel, get up.""Mm. No. Lemme sleep." I mumbled in my sleep. "Angel, get up." I got up hearing someone calling me.
Seven years later, "Mom, I have drawn this." Alice, Sapphire's seven years old daughter showed her the picture she painted. "Wow, honey, it's beautiful." Sapphire complimented. "Baby, have you completed your home task yet?" She asked. "Yes, mom. Mom, you know I have obtained 100% in my class test. See." Alice showed her the test report. "Wow, darling. It's incredible. Let mama give you a kiss." Sapphire leaned carefully and kissed Alice's both cheeks. She was pregnant of four months. Alice giggled when Sapphire tickled her. "Oh, mommy, it tickles." She laughed. "Mom, you know, I told my friends about you that you are a scientis. They all said that you are so cool." Alice announced in a proud voice. Sapphire couldn't help laughing. She couldn't pronounce scientist. So she spelled it as 'scientis'. "What is a scientist, baby?
Third Person's POV:"Huuuuuh. I k-knew it. I knew it. Now that I am fat, you don't love me anymore." Sapphire cried in the bed. Tonight, Sapphire took initiative to have sex. She wore a flimsy almost transparent night gown and came to the bed. Straddling Alexander, she kissed him with urgent need. She was crying because Alexander didn't have sex with her frequently nowadays. He was afraid that he might hurt her and their child. Because of her pregnancy hormones, she was overly emotional and horny. It never happened before but after pregnancy, she often initiated their sex. "Huhuhuuhu." She sniffed burying her face on her palms. Alexander was used to her mood swings and tantrums lately. She passed her first trimester and was five months pregnant already. Her belly grew big and it showed. Alexander sighed and turned to her. "A
Third Person's POV:Three and a half years later, Today, Alexander was sitting proudly, clapping his hands looking at the stage. Sapphire was receiving a gold medal for her outstanding academic performance. Today she was graduating from the university and it was her graduation ceremony. A bright smile was plastered on her angelic face. She gracefully walked to the stage and gave her speech. Everyone present there clapped their hands and cheered for her. She was an icon to the students, a great learner to the teachers. Today, she stepped one step ahead in the way to reach her dream to be a scientist. Sapphire descended from the stage and hugged Alexander. "Alexanderrrrrrr!" She exclaimed in joy. "You made it, angel. I am so proud of you."Alexander's parents, Devon, Lily also came to double her happiness of the great achievement.
Alexander's POV:I turned behind hearing Sapphire's loud scream. She came before me and gave me a hard push; I literally stumbled in the left side. Before I could understand anything, a bullet hit her body and she fell on the floor. I never heard the gunshot; I saw a Russian was targeting me. He was pointing a silencer gun at me. I shot him immediately and my eyes darted on Sapphire. She took the bullet to save me. "Angel! Angel!" I screamed, patting her cheeks. "A-Alexander-r, I love you-u. P-please d-don't f-forget m-me a-after my d-death." She couldn't talk clearly; she was feeling difficulty to breathe. She shakily tried to stretch up her hand to touch me but couldn't either. Her hand fell on the side limply. Her eyes were droopy. "D-don't close your eyes, Sapphire. Don't you dare close your eyes on me! Stay with me!" I
Sapphire told Alexander the whole matter about my mother; she found her and the next day got to know that she died. Others might call her heartless but she couldn't make up her mind to go and be a part of her funeral. Actually, the damage inside her was too deep, too severe. Alexander didn't ask her anything or tell her to go there, for which she was grateful. After this incident, Sapphire was feeling lonely and most of the time, she stayed home with a sad, dejected face. Alexander could understand what was going inside her. So, he called her mother and father in his mansion to stay some days here, so that Sapphire could spend some time with his mother. Both Alexander and his father were ruthless mafias, but his mother was a kind and gentle woman. She loved Sapphire as her own child and tried to cheer her up. Sapphire was passing her days feeling downcast, upset and lonely. Alexander's mother, Lily also noticed
Third person's POV:Alexander hugged her tightly as Sapphire cried hard, holding onto him. He didn't understand why she was crying so hard, words even came unclear out of her mouth. He decided to let her cry and become light hearted. Who could put her Angel through such agony that she couldn't bear anymore? He couldn't tolerate her little pain. Whoever the person behind her tears, he wouldn't spare him/her. He would tear the person into tiny bloody pieces. No one could get away after hurting his angel. She was almost drained crying for so long. Alexander patted her head and cooed her ear soothingly. Finally, she stopped crying. "Angel, what happened? Why are you crying?" He gently asked. Sapphire held his right arm with both of her hands tightly but stayed silent. Her lips quivered. "You know angel that you can tell me anyth
Third Person's POV:"Mom, I am Sapphire." The woman's frown deepened but as she comprehended what the girl said, her eyes widened and mouth hung open. "Y-you a-are Sapphire!" She was shocked. "Mom, it has been many years. How are you? Did you ever remember me once in those years?" Sapphire asked, her voice was cracking slowly. She knew very well what would be her answer. But the daughter inside her who never got an ounce of motherly affection couldn't help asking this stupid question. The woman didn't say anything, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth again and looked another direction. Sapphire wasn't disappointed much, but still, tears were streaming from her eyes. It's okay, Sapphire. She was once ready to sell me, her own daughter. This is not something unexpected from her. It's okay. She thought.
One month later, Third Person's POV:Sapphire is trying to live her life normally. It's true finally she was able to sleep without fear. When she thought that her past tormentor was no more, she breathed in relief every time. A different, a strange type of relief washed over her mind. But emptiness was also there, each time took her over. Michael's one sentence still rang inside her ear. Your mother should care for you. She was a bitch to you in the first place. I got an advantage. Every time this rang inside her ear, tears stung her eyes. Michael was a vile, despicable person but what he said was true after all. Sapphire was grateful to Alexander that he killed Michael. She was also shocked that a mafia war was about to happen just to take Alexander Rodriguez down, but Alexander didn't inform anything to her so that she didn't worry about that, he kept everything to himself an
Third person's POV:"Alexander! No! Please let me out!" She said, her voice cracked. "Boys out!" Alexander shouted at the men standing in that room. They left the room immediately. "Angel, you have to face your fear. Enough of your running." Alexander said in a serious tone, holding her hands tightly. Sapphire was shaking her head vigorously. Her thoughts were puddled in fear. How many years had been passed, it didn't matter, she still couldn't forget her horrible past. Alexander grabbed her shoulder and tried to turn her toward Michael. "No!""No!" Sapphire struggled hard crying. But Alexander didn't care; he harshly turned her and dragged her where Michael was sitting, tied. "Angel, can you see? This is the vile bastard who hurt you, tainted your childhood. He is the reason of your nightmares, tears." Alexander asserted lou
