“I am sorry Grandmother, but I can't accept this offer of yours, except from the fact that my husband would be strictly against it,” Sapphire said, turning to her grandmother who was staring at them all, an apologetic smile on her lips.She turned to look at her sister and uncle and her lips turned up in an arrogant smirk.“I don't want to be anywhere near all these people, working in the same space as them would suffocate them, I am afraid most people would see my potential and say I deserve their position better than they do,” she finalized condescendingly, staring Melissa down.“You must think that you are the shit because of Alexander, don't forget that the union is a result of an arranged marriage, what husband?” Melissa said, staring into Sapphire’s eyes and scoffed at the ridiculous words she was spewing.“You guys are not even married yet!” she told her and Sapphire nodded, she dusted her hands and carried her bag that she had placed on the table when she sat to eat.It is cle
Oliver exhaled as soon as he parked his car in the garage, he took a moment to assemble his thoughts before getting down from the car.He started walking to the entrance door. It is obvious that the Grays are trying too hard to fit the position of the most elegant family among the families of high society.It has been barely two months since he came here and he felt like he was in an entire different house, the furniture and flowers have been changed, the big fountain that was in the middle of the house was changed to the latest model and the walls were repainted to look more beautiful, the fluorescent lights also enhanced it beauty.He shook his head with a scoff, his mother really went over the top this time but that wasn't his main concern, he was more concerned about the fact that his grandfather asked him to come that evening.He has asked him to come at eight a.m the day before but he canceled it because he had to go to a meeting of some sort which was apparently, more important
“Sapphire sat the on the chair that was closest to the window with a cup to tea in her hand, she enjoyed looking out at the sky that looked quite beautiful at that moment, the television was running but she didn’t pay it any attention, it was late in the night and her kids have went to sleep, as well as her friends and her in laws.Alexander was late today too, Nate had called him regarding some information that he got on Shirley and he needed to meet him at the company. Some other things also needed his attention. He had sent a text message to her just when she got out of the dining room at the Conrad mansion.Sapphire was forced to pay attention to the television when she heard the news anchor say her name twice, she turned to look at the display on screen.“… case was discarded because there was no way someone as high on drugs as Sapphire could drive a car, she would have just slept in the car, that is if she had been able to enter the car in the first place.All is quite clear now
Heather sat in front of the prosecutor, a small smile on her lips and her designer bag on the table while the woman who was asking her questions stared at her with wide eyes.“What? Are you confessing just like that?” She asked and Heather raised a brow at her in surprise.“What the hell are you talking about? You brought me here to ask me questions and here I am, answering you. You should be thankful that I am making it easier for you, you don't have to keep investigating and all that jazz,” she was, nonchalantly and the prosecutor decided that she was really possessed.It was either that or she had some pretty good connection that she was relying on.Of course, everyone knows that she is Mr. Gray's beloved fiance and those people have good connections but saying this outrightly is very ridiculous.“It seems like you are not listening, so I would do you a favor and say it again, you should get that recording tape right now and let it record this.I am the one that planned all of it to
Doctor Mike, Oliver and Heather sat in front of the prosecutor, they had all been questioned separately and both couples' words were the same.Doctor Mike didn't know about what went behind the curtain but confirmed that it was truly Heather that drove the car that day.The police were disgusted by their actions but they couldn't do anything to them because Sapphire didn't press charges against them, so Oliver and Mike were allowed to go while Heather was detained.“Gosh, I feel like putting them in the worst prison that ever exists,” a woman standing at the side said after Oliver and Mike went out while Heather was led away.“They are such grade one assholes!” Another answered her.“Do you think that Sapphire would press charges against them?”“Against people like Mr. Gray?” The first woman replied. “Nope, she won't. Ridiculously rich people don't play their games like we peasants, if she presses charges for these mundane things the most she could do is let them appear in court becau
Claire stared at Matthew as he finished wrapping up his talk with the directors and representative of the company, they were so honored to have Matthew in the office with them so they were taking their sweet time to talk to him.They had been hanging out together almost every day since they both discovered that they were both interested in the same things, he always had something he wanted her to help with, she always had somewhere interesting to go, and when they were doing none of these, they met coincidentally.He finished wrapping up his business with the men and they said their goodbyes to each other, he turned to her direction and waved, a big smile on his lips when he sighted her standing there.Claire also smiled and waved her hands at him, watching the man as he started walking towards her, she picked up her steps to meet him halfway.“Hi, you haven’t been waiting for too long right?” he asked and she shook her head. Matthew is a caring man, he likes to make sure that all tho
“Hi sweetheart,” Alexander greeted Sapphire, hugging her from behind and his hands locked around her waist, his head resting on her shoulder while she continued washing the dishes. Luci had kept her at her side since she went to look at what she had to show her.Then the kids had started arguing and they wasted a lot of time trying to let them make peace with each other, they went away a few minutes earlier and they were still at odds with each other, Sapphire guessed that she would let Alexander deal with it, since the man seems to be the one who knows them the best nowadays.“Don’t touch me, Mr. Aldine. I would appreciate it very much if you get your hands off me before I cut it off with a knife,” She told him leisurely and he raised a surprise brow at her.“Don’t tell me that you are still grumpy about what happened yesterday night,” he told her but she only focused on washing the plate. “That wasn’t even my fault. The kids had a nightmare and they came to our room when we were abou
“I would like it if we meet tomorrow, I have something important to discuss with you,” he told her and she scoffed.‘Something that is so important that it can’t be discussed over the phone?” She asked sarcastically and she could hear the man exhale, or maybe it was an approving hum, she couldn’t tell.The only good thing about him was his unfiltered honesty, he is the type to tell you that you are ugly and he hates you straight to your face, the first time you meet, he would also give it to you if you sucks, he would make you sound so stupid.And of course, it is this unfiltered honesty that made her realize that her in-laws, including the old man, preferred Melissa over her, he wasn’t shy about calling her daft when he said it straight to his face.He once told her that her relationship with Oliver wouldn’t last, she only gave him a faux smile in return, and she believed that nothing could shake a nine years relationship.One of them had been right and it hadn’t been her.“It is abo

Last time, it was her family signing a fake marriage contract, but this time, she was having a real engagement party.Alexander was talking with a the same man he was talking to that day, and was standing at that same spot, only this time, the spot where Melissa stood was acquired by Luci and Zayn, they were chatting heartily, a man tried to pass and almost bumped into Luci but Zayn quickly wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her to the side, they both talked to the man and resumed their conversation, but Zayn hands never left Luci’s waist which made Sapphire smile.Not too far from them were Tiara and Fiona who seemed to be having a serious conversation. Fiona was the one speaking while Tiara just stared at her.“You finally decided to show your face out here?” Mr. Aldine said and Sapphire laughed, it was a small and quiet laugh.“I am sorry for not visiting you since all this while,” Sapphire said.“I understand. You have been busy, besides I have the kids by my side most o
“The only thing I love the most about everything here is your ring, I mean, would you check out that beautiful thing?” Tiara who was dressed to perfection gushed, she bent beside Sapphire and held her hand up to her face, and she stared at the ring with a gooey look in her eyes. She had asked Sapphire to remove it to let her examine it but Sapphire had refused to do that.“You have been saying that you loved the ring in a thousand different phrases ever since you saw that ring on her finger,” Gladys said beside her, Sapphire didn’t know that someone could look so hot in a super short dress at an engagement party but she managed to rock it hard. Gladys rrolled her eyes at her friend who only pouted at her before turning back to the ring.“Just how much was it worth? Did you ask him?” Luci asked as she perched herself on the beautiful chair that Sapphire was sitting, she also stared at it in admiration. Luci had gone for the dark look with her floor length back dress that was slit all t
Headache shot up her head when she hit her head on the floor and she willed it to split apart in order to stop, she could only groan in her throat and curse Sapphire and her friends over and over in her head.She turned to her head and felt every single part of her body freeze, she didn’t even dare to blink, it would make too much noise and her body was particularly capable of that feat.Just a foot away from her were giant scorpions, they were huddled together at a spot and were unmoving, her eyes trailed upward and a gasp would have fell from her lips if she didn’t have that gag because she saw a snake crawled on the ground into a spot and came out of another opened one, that was when she saw the snake for what it was; a viper.Cold sweat covered her and her body started shaking in fear, her inability to run her way out of this dangerous ditch also made her terrified, it would be the end of her if she was attacked.She tried to move back only for back to slam heavily on what seemed
“You shouldn’t do this to me, if you do this to me you would be a murderer too,” Arielle said, desperately and Sapphire shrugged.“Doesn’t matter. We Conrad are known for being villainous already, if I emerged as a murderer, people won’t be shocked, they would be even glad that I got rid of you for them.” Sapphire said and nodded. “Here is what we would do. Try to convince me to not kill you, I am listening,” Sapphire gestured to her with her hands.“Aren’t you afraid of ending up in hell?” she blurted out and Sapphire stared at her with a dumbfounded expression, everyone paused what they were doing but Luci was the first person that burst into laughter, she doubled as she tried to control her laughter and catch her breath but she couldn’t stop herself.“What?” Sapphire asked in disbelief and she started chuckling before she started to laugh . Zayn was snickering from where he sat and staring at Arielle with the expression that screams ‘No, you didn’t just say that bitch.”Some of the
Arielle sat in the cell that was reserved for only ‘hardened criminals’ like her, that’s what everyone referred to her as, she even saw some of the prisoners flinched when she brushed her hand passed them.Even though they call her suspect in face of any camera they see, they treat worse than a murderer that has went to court and branded as on, they should at least picked her to court first.She thought about the day’s event and laughed out loud, maniacally and hysterically, the wardens at her door glanced at her once before they turned to resume their duties of staring, at least that was what she assumed, she only saw their eyes through the small space at the top of the iron door and she didn’t saw them again when they moved.Melissa had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Very good! That was what she had planned from the beginning of her plan, the one she drew when she was sixteen, that was the only plan that was to her aid. Even if Melissa hadn’t been in prison because she foolish
“With all of the solid evidence against Ms. Melissa Conrad, I hereby sentence her to life imprisonment, the money that she has now would be used to pay for the companies she damaged and the rest would be confiscated.” The judge said and Melissa just stared blankly at every single person in the court, her eyes met Sapphire’s and they both stared at each other solemnly for a bit.It was Melissa’s hearing and Sapphire went with almost all her friend, Luci, Tiara and Gladys, Claire was absent because she had something she needed to do at the gallery and Trisha had once again been asked to do some humiliating task by her mother-in-law, Sapphire hopes that she would be able to break free from their abuse soon and would stop at nothing to help, Tiara also assured that if they interfere in it, her in-laws would not do as much as grunt but Trisha would only smile and say that it was not yet time to make such a move, she wanted to wait till climax before executing which made Sapphire suspect th
Luci rushed to Sapphire who was sprawled on the ground with a blood stain on her stomach. She felt her breathing and saw that she was still alive.“Save Sapphire first, let's get her to the hospital! Zayn, get a car instead of standing there like an immobilized ant, Claire, get the first aid box,” she screamed out orders and Claire quickly nodded, running to the door at the speed of light, it was like her feet weren't touching the floor at all, Zayn also went out of her sight and some men advanced towards her to help carry Sapphire.She saw that Alexander hadn't moved from the same spot he was since the Arielle fiasco started, it made her gritted her teeth in irritation and despite the fact that she always tread cautiously and respectfully around the man, she didn't know when she snapped at the man angrily.“You wife is here in the pool of her own blood, dying and barely holding on to life because of the stupid thing she did well th this crazy woman,” she said, glared at Arielle who h
Sapphire wrapped her night robe around her tighter, it was pretty chilling out here but she felt that she needed to go on a walk to clear her head now, Melissa has a hearing in the court the next day and in front of her very eyes, she might be convicted for a crime Sapphire was sure that she had absolutely no idea of.It was pretty clear to everyone in the inner circle that it was Arielle that set her up, Brielle had confirmed that Arielle was indeed sighted at the premises of the prison at that night, her face was shown as she was using her signature face cap and mask, she had her hair well-kept in her cap and didn’t made any silly mistake like letting a strand of her hair remain in the murder scene, she had gloves and boots on and that’s why no DNA of her was found on the scene.Though there was no assurance that she would be able to get Melissa out of the prison if she interfered, she would at least get a reduced sentence of a punishment lighter than the initial one that she would
