The Following Day...
2:00 p.m
Sapphire 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.

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 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
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
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.
***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."
“Make sure you pick out the weed like this, okay?” A young lady in colourful, floral dress instructed her students.“Yes teacher!” They replied to her with a cheerful smile as they focused on the gardening.Her multi-colored, mid length floral dress swayed a little in the direction of the wind. She smiled down at her lovely students and the corners of her eyes wrinkled to show she smiles a lot. Her crystal blue eyes sparkled as the sun reflected in it, highlighting the little tiny specks of joy in her eyes. Her Auburn hair was up in a neat bun so her hair wouldn't disturb her from weeding. Anyone could see that aside from teaching, being in the garden was something she loved to do.It was a small garden outside the school compound. Sapphire had been working there for a couple of months; though her plan was to get a better job and possibly meet with an educated agriculturist to take care of her fathe
In Sapphire's Room“Yes mum, Carlos has started chatting with me!” Sapphire's cute voice sounded over the phone.“That's good my dear.” Her mum praised.“Mum, what kind of agriculturist is he? Does he own a farm as well? What kinds of crops is he into?” She sounded so curious and impatient.“I'm not sure darling. I know he's hardworking and good-looking. Carlos would be a good husband for you, my dear.”“So he's also good-looking, huh? I can't wait to meet Carlos already.” Sapphire said, sarcastically.“Have you guys picked a date for the meeting?” her mum asked over the phone.“Yes mum. It's 2:00 p.m on Saturday. At Blue Bird Hotel.”“Wow! That's great! Who picked the venue?”“He did mum. I've al
In Lucas's Office."You're here CEO Jade!" Lucas walked to Jade for a handshake, but he ignored and jerked off.They took their seats on an executive table to discuss whatever it was."Awwwwn... I'm not your friend right now. I'm BB Company's legal Consultant." Lucas explained."What is this about that you even used the red call to contact me?""How-dare-you-use-the-red-call-to-call-us-when-he's-a-mere-attorney?" Lucas mimicked Jade's voice which was very funny. This time, Jade couldn't help but to fall for his trick as he blushed."Exactly." Jade replied him. "How dare some lawyers tell me, the CEO to come and go as he pleases.""The chairman changed his will." Lucas explained. He brought out a file from a brown envelope, handling Jade the documents to read.A frown appeared on Jade's face as he co

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
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
