The next morning came and I heard a faint voice from my door. "Sapphire..." Auntie knocked. The door opened and her head peeked inside. I burried my face on the pillow so she wouldn't see my bloodshot eyes. I don't know how much I cried last night, but everything is just hard to accept.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the ceiling. I think I prefer the hardwood I had in Georgebury than the marble one in front of me. Auntie fully went inside my room. She's already dressed up – grey tube top with a pairing skirt and ankle strapped heels. The jewelry on her wrist and neck screamed wealth.

Midnight Adventures"Maybe she's going through something, Auntie." I quietly said.There is a reason why people act the way they do. We just misunderstand them sometimes. As I always say, there's always good in people. The only exception is the reason for committing murder. Up until now, I don't understand why Papa died.Who killed him? Why did they do that?These questions keep me up late at night. Just like in an orbit, they revolve around my brain in a never-ending cycle. And I badly want it to stop. All I know is that Papa is a good man, even though I didn't full

Aspyn's not hot-headed today, I should just go with it I guess?"Hop in," Hayden said as we walked towards an SUV in the parking lot. I nervously went to the backseat where Aspyn and Cheryl sat too. Jared was holding a bag with the liquor bottle in the front seat."What score did you guys get in the enlit as

New York is big, dear. There are many places you haven't went to yet," She said. She was wearing a black dress and white pumps, looking fashionable as ever."Okay. I think I'd like to go around." I suddenly thought about Dom. Is he in New York? Of course he is. Goodness! This city is big, so I don't think I'll be able to see him. I'm not ready to see him again, not after everything that I've disc

RumorsAfter a month, I got used to the city life. Aspyn's friends would come to the penthouse often and we'd hang out. Aspyn would sometimes bring me when they go out. I help her in her literature homework too. Though, I am still considering Auntie's offer in sending me to NYU.As an alternative, I started home-schooling. My tutor would go here in the penthouse and I'd busy myself with learning. I realized that the amount of knowledge there is in the world has no limit. I also found my despise of numbers through algebra.Along with that, Brent and I got closer too. He often calls

Arranged Marriage"D-dom will be there? I mean, Travis?" I asked. My heart hammered erratically at the mention of his name."Yes! The party is hosted by the Florences and they're very close. I heard he's been active lately." Brent giggled. "I mean, active in business parties like this, you know, since he was gone for months. I can tell that he didn't like what happened after the divorce." He finished my hair, now he's onto my makeup."What happened after the divorce?" I curiously asked.

She usually stays in her condo during weekdays, but today's different.I didn't see Auntie this morning. I still can't believe she arranged me to a marriage like that. I'm not mad, but disappointed. I appreciate her for taking me in, but what she did is out of line. Brent even called last night, complaining that I didn't tell him anything. I explained to him that I didn't even know I was being arranged to Mat. Apparently, the Beaumonts made an unofficial announcement.

He offered to merge with our company and we'll benefit even more." She looked at me pleadingly. "I also learned that Travis

The water pressure is not too high, safe enough to take a dip and swim.We had a picnic mat where we’re sitting. Some baskets stood on the greens for our food.

We passed them as Dom led me to his black SUV."How did you find me?" I asked in a low voice, when we were finally alone in the car."Mat was there, looking for Lucy Florence. He found you lurking around the fields of Georgebury instead." He drove past the wild streets full of lights and people. I didn't think I would miss New York for a bit, but there's something about its liveliness that I'd always look for.

Dizziness circled around my senses as my stomach grumbled in a mix of hunger and pain. I don't like this feeling at all. I feel like puking my insides out. My body felt sore for what seems like hours of sitting and my hands were tied on my back with thick layers of rope. My legs too were tied and I had no shoes on.What happened? Where am I?Dark

The thought still gives me shivers."This is now my normal life, Dom."He sighed as the driver drove to a farther part of the city. "You know, you're the only one who calls me that now.

I stared as it glimmered against the bright soulful sun of Manhattan."Yes, I'm all prepared..." I mumbled. I felt Dom plant a soft kiss on top of my head before doing his final rituals. We're going to the airport today to travel to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I haven't been there yet. Heck, I haven't even rode an airplane yet or went to an airport.
