"Mum, dad... Who is this weird looking guy and why am I here? Uhh..... My head really hurts." Sapphire muttered, rubbing her forehead simultaneously.
Jade was dumbfounded.
"I got shot trying to save you... Why can't you remember?! Is it because I came too late? Are you angry at me? Talk to me, Fire!" He turned to the doctor after wiping away his tears and sniffed quietly into his sleeves."Stop calling me that name okay?! I said I don't know you. Are you deaf? Ugh!" She muttered in pain.
Sapphire couldn't understand why a random, pathetic looking guy would lie to her and shout at her despite her condition.
With this, Sapphire gently turned to the direction of Fiona."Mum, what's happening here? Who's this?"
"Umm.. don't worry my dear. You're recovering, just relax." Fiona muttered, facing Jade with an annoying look.
"You heard her, right? So can you leave for now
A piercing headache spread through Jade's head like wildfire. He grabbed his head in the pain, consuming the burning sensation that was pushing him into an invisible hole but he tried not to get do.Jade got back into his ward and all he wanted to do was to break down. The two people he loved so much deserved him on the same day. Although, he doesn't acknowledge that of his grandfather's but the chairman has always been his role-model. Someone he admire. Someone he had worked so hard for throughout the years.Jade chewed on his lower lips as tears washed down his eyes. He couldn't hold it anymore. His breathing tightened. His head hurt even more. Jade held his head with both hands and closed his eyes. I couldn't even say goodbye. I couldn't ask him for forgiveness for being so rude.(A flashback of their last interaction played on his mind.)
Lucas and Jade walked to the beautiful garden, somewhere around his ward. There were other patients with similar cases to Jade's, but everyone concentrated on themselves. Jade sat on a wooden bench. Somewhere alone the walking path. The fresh air sent beautiful fragrance, but that didn't lift the weight off Jade's shoulders. His eyebrows joined together in fury as he sat down. Lucas watched his expression careful. It's clear that he could read his CEO friend, like a book. Lucas sat down, right next to his friend as the watched other patients and visitors move around on concentration.Lucas heaved out to kill the bored silence that reigned with the seconds. "I know you're going through a lot and there's a lot going through your mind right now. There's going to be a new change in.... Everything. Especially in the company, within your family and also... With your relationship with Sapphire but, whatever happens. I want you to remain strong, as you've always been. Take resp
Her voice brightened up the room. The audience roared to her in excitement. The four seated judges loved her performance. Ruby walked out of the audition room with a wide smile across her broad face. She had a black, leathery short skirt and a pink, mini-top, on. Ruby's blond hair swept through her shoulder with her 5 feet black boots that made her little taller. Her lips were bull-red and she had a smokey eye makeup done, which fitted her perfectly. About to leave, she met Gabby. He was holding a bouquet of daisy flowers."Gabriel Anderson!" She called his name. Gabby looked up, his eyes met hers."Nice to meet you again. It's been twice in a week now, like seriously?!" Ruby walked up to him in excitement and wrapped her arms over his shoulder.Gabby felt butterflies piercing in his stomach as he gently pulled himself from her tight hug."Nice to bomb into you like this. Are you sure you aren't stal
Coloured squares of light, checkered the carpet of the aisle. There were tons of guests in black. About thirty or forty. The arriving guests took their rows. It was a tall glorious church with beautiful construction and giant status. There were white daffodils and red roses placed on his coffin placed on a huge, marble table."...not merely because of the desirability of life but because of same exercise at once to live and die well. Much more is he who says that it were good not to be born, but once one is born to pass with all speed through the gates of heaven...." The priest in flowing, white and gold robe muttered.Kate was crying, wiping tears away with a tissue. Jade looked sick but didn't weep. Denver and Stephen Alejandro's daughters came from Paris for their fathers burial.The choir ladies started singing. Ruby and Jade helped kate to her feet, with denver on the other side. Jade didn't give Denver a look, he jus
Jade pressed the call button but her phone was switched off. She turned it off to avoid being disturbed.Fiona couldn't eat much as well. She cleared the table and walked to Sapphires door. Pulling the door knob, she notice that it was locked.'Knock! Knock!! knock!!!'She tapped on the door lightly but all she could hear was Sapphire's soft sobbing."You should hang on a little longer my dear. You'll overcome these really soon, I hope." Fiona stuttered to the word as a single tear rolled down her cheek like dew drop on a leaf. Her right hand wiped it off immediately while she went back, downstairs. It was just a waste of effort. Sapphire wouldn't eat.Fiona and John felt really sad that night. They believe that it was just a bad day, not a bad life. Hoping that things would get better really soon. And their daughter would overcome all of these.Meanwhile, Sapphir
"Then feed me. I've missed having you around. I haven't even been to your place.""Don't worry, Ruby. I'll take you out one of these days." He deepened his fork into chicken and placed it at Ruby's mouth. Instead if eating it, she refused."Are you angry at me now?""Promise you won't tell mum about me." Her doe-like eyes begged.Jade chuckled at her cuteness. "It's two years since they last had a meal together. I won't tell your mum." He promised.Ruby smiled at this and finally took a bite."Now that you're smiling. I think we're on the same page." Jade suggested while she blushed."Ruby... You have your ways at doing things. So, what's it about you auditioning and going into music. Is that what you really want?"Watching them from behind, tears clouded in sapphires eyes. She couldn't hear what they were discussing about, clearly but it'
Getting there, Zoey knocked and peeped through but couldn't see anything. She remembered the password and quickly opened the door. She noticed Sapphire was lying on the floor."Fire! Why won't you pick up your phone?" Zoey asked as she quickly took off her shoes and rushed to her friend."Sapphire! Oh my!" She threw her bag away and helped Sapphire up. "What happened? Why are you doing this again, fire!" She cried and gently took her to the bed.Zoey noticed that she was still breathing. She ran to the kitchen and took some ice from the fridge, placing it into a small blue bowl. She grabbed a white towel and deepened the towel into the cold water and squeezed it. She gently wiped Sapphire's sweaty forehead. It was as if her face and hair was dripping due to the heat in the room. Zoey quick opened up the windows for ventilation.Rushing to her friend and wiping her face again. Gently. Affectionately.
At the bar with Lucas.11:46 p.mJade and Lucas were seated in their usual spot. The bar man offered him a cup of champagne. He gulped it down his throat at once.Hey, don't even think about getting drunk, okay?" Lucas warned."I'm not." He poured another drink into a wine cup. "I'm not drunk but I'd like to get drunk."Lucas watched how he gulped it down his throat again. He looked so sad and messy."Don't overthink, Jade. Time heals all wounds." Lucas advised. "I'm sure you'll forget about everything with time. He pay him at the back.""About what you just said..." Jade poured another drink. "Don't believe that drivel. It's a lie" He started at the glassy cup and poured the third cup down his throat. He closed his eyes to the thought of it and gulped it down in pain.Jade drove home, collapsing on the sofa chair in
***Later that day, Jade came to pick her up."Aren't you selling these?" Jade started."No, but would you buy it for me?" She asked."Isn't that cheating?""You'd be making a donation so you're doing a good deed." Sapphire cheered up."She sold it for him. Alright then, can we leave?""Of course." Zoey's mum replied. "You've done a lot today.""Bye ma'am.""Good bye." The couple waved them. Jade placed his arm around her waist with they walked side by side.Is that really his wife? Some women gossiped. She's so old fashioned, like seriously? She didn't even wear makeup. How local?"Director! Have you seen the article?" Mr. Tim rushed to Jade."What's it now? Did they say I had an affair with someone?""No, it's not that, sir. It's about the young Madam."
Antigua And Barbuda Island3 Days After WeddingThe newly wedded couple gazed at the sunset for a minute. Sapphire stared at the rosy clouds and commented, “It looks like I can just pluck the clouds out of the sky and eat them. Don’t they look like cotton candy?”“I love the way you think.” Jade laughed.Sapphire sighed, stretching her arms above her head and then placed them behind her back on the soft mossy ground. With this, she leaned on her elbows, and then, eventually, lied down completely. Later on, Sapphire folded her hands behind her head and watch the last of the sun’s rays disappear below the horizon. The first stars begin to peek out from the black curtain sweeping above out heads and the light of the full moon. There aren’t any crater or bruises — just a polished sphere of white looking down at the both of them.
Sapphire was in taking her students dancing classes with one of Jade's recent songs when Jade walked in. He watched her with excitement for a while until she stopped and dismissed her students. She gave them a hug as usually. Jade walked in and took a chair from the corner of the room. "Oh, Jade!" Sapphire shrieked, by his presence.He sat down and watched her earnestly. "The media would be reporting about us, soon. Would you be alright?""I'm glad the school would be on vacation next week. Hope they won't harass my students?""I don't know but... How about
The early risers chirping to the morning sun beams peeking through the clouds. Colourful birds performing their morning rituals made the gentle, cool breeze blow through the white curtains. The light of dawn seeped into the beautiful mansion. With brightness covering the natural and man-made creations, the first rays of sun beamed through the window.A smile stretched on sapphire's lips as she gently opened her eyes. Looking around, she remembered what happened last night and smiled even brighter. Stretching like a lazy cat, she noticed Jade wasn't beside her. Her eyes turned to the other corner of the room as she pulled out of bed, sitting upright."...Yes, I won't be coming to the hotel for a while. If there's anything important, forward it to my email address." Sapphire heard Jade's voice from the bathroom."Hello wifey." He walked up to her cupping her face into his palms. Then he gently placed peck on her cheek that m
It was the American Got Talent's finals. The judges were dressed in extravagant clothes as the crowd roared to the first participant in merriment. It was a funny magician that brought smiles to people's faces despite his old age. His performance was simply magnificent. The audience loved him.Next were a set of twins. Maria and Mario with their explicit dancing skills. They did a salsa, ballet and hip-hop mixed dance and the crowd cheered their names.M&M! M&M!! Ruby was the next participant. She's bold and courageous but the outrageous amount audience and lightning still gave her goosebumps."Don't worry. Everything would be alright." Gabby encouraged."Okay, Gabby. I'd try my best." She promised and took out a deep sigh.The next contestant is... Ruby Darlings!!!"Yaaaayyyy!!!" The crowd cheered up as she walked to the stage...
The Following Day...2:00 p.mSapphire walked out if her class while everyone had gone home. Climbing downstairs she raised her gaze at Jade whom was awaiting with his while jeep, as usual. He noticed the surprised look on her face and moved closer. Sapphire felt like evaporating into the thin air, she couldn't believe her eyes."What are you so surprised about, wifey? You're making me feel bad."Sapphire wore a stern look at him and walked down to where he was. Don't shout okay, were not even married yet and... I didn't know that I'd run into you here." She explained, avoiding his gaze. Turning away, Jade held her wrist and pulled her towards him. His hands wrapped around her waist."And what does that mean? You didn't give me a good reply last night so I came to pick you up."Sapphires pushed him away as he let go.
Meanwhile, Lucas visited Zoey's boutique to tell her what had to."I tried my best to convince him, Zoey. I think Jade's made up his mind.""Jeez! That idiot!""Me?""No, I'm referring to your friend. He's so proud and arrogant. I wonder why I'm going this far just to bring them together. I guess that's why he makes so much money, huh? Because he's stupidly stubborn." Zoey vexed."Jade also feel down sometimes but I think he's ready to leave the past behind." Lucas explained."Does he really not have any feelings for her, then? I guess he didn't love Sapphire as much as I thought he did. Anyway, thanks for everything. I guess I misunderstood but... Since she can meet someone better with no regrets, I think there's nothing to worry about."So, I've tried all my best. Jade has his ways, you know.""Yeah, yeah. I know. I also know that he's n
***After lunch, Rome drove back to Zoey's boutique. He asked Sapphire to pick any 2 clothes of her favorite designer.Happy and ready for shopping, Sapphire checked out the clothes, line by line. Row by row."You can pick 2 more! Zoey uttered. Consider it a gift from me to commemorate you overcoming your heartbreak." Zoey added."Wow! Wait, since you're buying things for me, I'll... Pick this one!" She jerked over a pink sequine gown that had while tons on its chest for designs."Like seriously, do you know how much that gown costs? Don't let me shout at you! " Zoey blurted."I broke up with a guy and now I'm in tons of pain. I'm so miserable..." Sapphire pretended, acting as if she was actually crying.Watching her, Rome and Zoey burst into laughter."Wow! You're never this sly before!""So would you buy this gown for me
