The water was colder like Ice. Sapphire sat inside the bathtub and cried as if the water was peeling off her skin. She shivered in tears, crying in the loneliness for staying away from home without knowing if she would be able to make it out alive or not.
Before the kidnap, Sapphire had planned to meet Jade and tell him her true feelings about him so far. That she thought about him and their moments together but right now, she even miss him more.
'Why does it have to be me?' Sapphire thought as she cried aloud in her mind.
Her hands fetched an amount of water as she scrubbed it through over her coal-lined mascara she'd put on her face the day before. Although, it was the first time in forever she'd used that beauty products, it's such a shame that Jade couldn't even see her in it. The thought of Jade poured through her mind like a magical pixie dust— She was addicted to.
After a
***Jade went into his office, ignoring the weird stares. Pissed like hell but trying to conceal it. Her took off his black jacket and placed it on a hanger, somewhere in the corner of his office. He threw himself on his executive chair, already feeling useless.A small frown appeared on his handsomely -shaped face. Jade went through the file placed on his desk as he unbuttoned the first three buttons on his white sleeved shirt.Mr Tim looked at his co-workers with a fake smile on his face. "Come on guys, concentrated on your work. I'll go and check on him now." He announced before walking to the CEO's office.Tick-tick.Mr. Tim tapped his index finger on the mirrored door as he narrowed his head into Jade's office."What's it?" Jade muttered without even looking at Mr. Tim's direction. "Come in." He ordered."Umm... What's happening, boss? Are
"Whatever..." Jade replied her blankly and walked to the parking lot where his car was parked."Wait up for me!" She called upon him as she rushed to the other side of his car."Come on, Jade. You're so boring. I just want to spend sometime with you and you're acting so weird?""Just get in!" Jade rolled his eyes at her.They took their seats swiftly while Jade fixed his seatbelt. Chloe turned to him, rolling her eyes too."Don't you think it's enough playing this hate game? I mean, let's chat like real friends." She begged."Don't you have anything else to do?" Jade knotted an eyebrow, casting a brief look at her."When I'm not a workaholic like you." She smiled, but her smile dropped almost immediately. "Taking a day off to strengthen out friendship isn't bad. Is it? Perhaps, I could help you find your girlfriend.""Whatever..." Jade hissed under his breath as he turned on his car engine and zoomed off into the busy roa
❁❀❁❀❁❀❁❀❁❀❁❀❁The room was silent dark as shame. Only a line of the sun's ray touched through the window of the room. Sapphire opened her eyes. As blue as the dept of the sea, deep and pondering. She looked around and all she could see was series of her photograph, placed on the wall. Even her childhood pictures were there. Sapphire's eyes widened in astonishment as her breath thickened. Her throat suddenly went dump... It felt as if she could feel her heart hanging in between her troat."What's this... where am I?" She tried to speak but her voice came out in a soft, hoarsely whisper.A sharp pain hit her hard on the hard, making her hold her forehead. She clinged to it, trying to remember what happened last.The memory of how she tried to escape flashed through her mind. And it was Ace that stopped her. She remembered the his darkness that clouded his eyes in the shadows of the nig
***Something in a box. Scared of being caught, she looked towards the door. Sapphire could clearly see the shadows of their figures on the floor. They were outside, waiting for her. She knows sooner or later, they would come and drag her back to her room. But, before then, Sapphire's face tuned back to the carton in her hand. Curious to know what was inside, she tore it open. It was a Samsung Galaxy mobile phone.'It looked so new. Probably Ace bought it recently or maybe he's not in need of it.' Sapphire thought.She skimmed through it vividly when, the bodyguards suddenly opened the door. Sapphire climbed on the bed so quickly, they didn't notice. "Come on, let's go." Both of the chorused in their deep, baritone voice.In obedience, the elementary school teacher squeezed her eyes, shut tightly, trying to force out tears.She held her stomach in pain as if she couldn't stand properly, but she
With an unsettled mind while driving in full speed, Jade drove back to his hotel. Everything about his facial expression wrote disappointment."You have a guest sir." Mr. George stood up and reported immediately his eyes met with the CEO's."Who's it?" Jade knotted an eyebrow interestedly."He said he is Rome Anderson."Jade nodded his head and walked in. Opening the door, he met Rome seated on a chair at the entrance.He stood up immediately Jade walked in."I think we have something to discuss." Rome muttered with seriousness.Jade, his swallowed pride and walked to the chair facing his."I know who you are, Jade Alejandro. And what you've put Zoey through since Sapphire's disappearance. But do you have to keep this a secret from Sapphire's family as well?""W..what are you talking about?" Jade faked confusion."I'm sure that it would only be completely secret once you end things with Sapphire. Your so cal
***In Lucas's Office."I received a report about that can't we just solve this issue with money and stop making noise. Lucas furrowed his eyes at Mr. Charles, in all earnestly.I'll give the victim and her family a nice sum for their suffering." He assured."Kidnap is a serious crime. So is poisoning. Jade is not arresting your daughter for the kidnap case, for now. She drugged him sir, which would have taken his life. This is a serious crime. Your company would be investigated.""I know, Attorney Lucas. But still, is there anything in this world that money can't solve? Come on, we've been business partners with BB Company for over 20 years now. Can't we just sweep this case under the carpet and forget about it?""We could but Jade isn't going to overlook this, this time around. The chairman won't, either."Mr. Charles adjust his necktie, ne
The sun dipped below the horizon, the last gasp of beauty before the death of the day.Ace drove into his manor like a bullet crushing against the wind. Still nervous about what might come next, he brought out a park of cigarette from his side pocket and lit it up with a lighter. Smoking it up, burning away this worries and anxieties, inside.The mafia boss waited a while before throwing the away the burnt out stick. He placed the tip of his shiny, black brogues against the moist grass. Quenching out life, out of the cigarette stick. The wore a serious look, yet, different shades of emotion clouded his black eyes. Ace's thick eyebrows were lowered and pulled close, together. An heavy breath heaved from his breath before walking in."Welcome boss." Dylan muttered from the corner. Ace raised is an eyebrow at him."How is she? Hope she didn't do anything stupid?""No... She's gentle." Dylan smiled. "We would have dinner in 30 minutes. Inform the cook."
As they walked inside the building, Jade hide at a dark corner, trying to eavesdrop into their conversation. About to enter her room, Ace turned to her with a crooked smile of satisfaction."I love everything about today's dinner. I see you're loving it here, already."Sapphire smiled. Then she suddenly, she moved closer to him with an irritated look plastered on her pretty face. "You are the green snake under the green grass, Mr. Mafia. I'm not surprised.""No, baby. I see it the the other way round. I'm the guardian angel, saving you from the green snake under the green grass." Ace chuckled softly at her words. "You're my toy, now.""So you kidnapped me just to tell me that? Listen, I'm not your toy." She pointed out. "Do I look like a Barbie doll to you?" Her slim, arched eyebrows knotted in unison."Kinda." He rolled his eyes at her."I'm the only one
