“That is all you need to do, make sure to get a clear view of her face,” Tina said and Hanna nodded. Giselle was standing at the side, her eyes were still red and she looked very stressed but she was determined, so that is why she is standing here with them.“Giselle, are you sure that you are okay with going through that again?” Hanna asked and Giselle nodded.“It is not the first time that she has done and if I don’t do this to make it the final time, it would not be the last either, Venita had always had a problem with me since I came to the company, I had a score higher than hers when the company first tested us and that is the first time since a long time, I broke the streak she had, it was a big discussion when I joined but it wasn’t much of a talk when other trainee started doing it too because I was the first.Unfortunately, I had to be under her, even though she smiled at the directors, managers and me when the news was brought to her, she had a big problem with it, it became
Their lips and the intensity of the emotions that came over her made her almost want to melt, the man was tentative at first, slowly leading her into the depth of passion, but that wasn’t what she wanted, so she pulled him closer to her, wrapping her hand around his neck and open her mouth to enable access, she was sure of what she wanted now.Her single move unleashed the man hidden beneath the caring one, the one he had put a leash on in order to heal her, he kissed her with the starvation of a man who just reconciled with a lost lover on his last day on earth.All he felt towards her, he poured into the kiss and the amount of love she felt made her eyes water, she once had a lover but at this moment she knew that he is her soul mate, she pulled him down with her, their lips never leaving each other, she held him tightly, he is a treasure she never wants to let go.Her hand move to his neck and she tug the hair at his nape and a groan left his mouth, he deepened the kiss and she let
Everyone gathered around Candy's table inside the strategic planning team department, the door was locked and anyone who wanted to enter would have to knock.There were many papers spread on the table and their eyes were glued on it. Belle held a pen in her hand and a reading glass rested on the bridge of her nose.“Oliver really went ahead with his plans and started firing the employees for no definite reason,” Mira said, staring at the papers, her hands stuck in her pants pocket.“Yeah,” Belle said, nodding. “this is a list of all the employees he had fired,” she pointed to the blue paper on the left. “This contains the name of those who would soon be fired and this is the list of people who would soon be filling the spots,” she pointed to the white and cream papers.“So far, he hasn't fired anyone from the SPD,” Jace said.“And he had fired everyone else in Mira’s team, the only saving grace we had here is Sapphire, it would look weird if it was the nerdy employee that was left alo
The majestic ballroom was decorated so elegantly, it was the most luxurious the ceremony had ever been, the best of the best things were used, rumors about Zayn coming to the party had spread around the members of the High Society, the guests wanted to impress the distinct man known as Mr. Aldine’s best friend.If the host had known how many guests were really coming to the party uninvited, maybe they would have taken further steps and tried to make it the best party of the year.Everything was beautifully organized and nothing seemed out of place, the evening sky gave the gold lighting an ethereal glow, crystal chandeliers hanging around the room, most of the guest were arriving, their shoes clicking on the marble floor, the reporters doing their thing and the camera was flashing light as different people parked their cars at the parking lot.An Armored Rolls Royce Cullinan halted at the parking lot and everyone waited for the power couple to step on the entrance tunnel, they already
“Remind me once again why we have to be here,” Tina said and Hanna shook her head at the impatient woman.“Because we have to take control of this room, we need to change the flash drive and make sure that the video finishes playing before we leave,” Hanna told her.“Then we don't have any opportunity to watch the show live, seeing Heather's face from the camera won't be as fun as seeing it live,” Tina groaned.“Too bad. We are stuck with this, Luci said that none of the rest of the family could come here because they all have to be present in order to give the press an alibi that they know nothing about what is going on,” Hanna explained.“And why are you the one complaining, Addie and Giselle are your juniors and instead of whining like you have been doing they are taking care of everything there, it is really a blessing that we brought them,”“They are Venita’s juniors, not mine,”“They became your juniors the moment they decided to cross her,”“She stopped being their senior the m
The ballroom erupted in chaos and there were different kinds of voice from every corner of the room, the reporters rushed forward the stairs that framed the stage with their gadgets and never ending questions, they couldn’t go on the stage because of the bodyguards that were guarding the stage which made Oliver safe from them but the man was too dumbfounded to move.Heather was not as lucky as her fiancé, she was still sitting in her seat and the news beast had rushed to her who happened to be the easy target, the persistent ones tried to go to Oliver but most of them were with Heather, Melissa was sitting on her seat, enjoying the show with a smirk on her face, most of the paparazzi knew that they should avoid the crazy princess of the Conrad family.“Is it true what we just saw on the screen?”“Did you really scheme and take her to the club?”“Were you involved in drugs three years ago? How did you manage to get the drugs that you used on her?”“Was it really Miss. Sapphire that dro
Sapphire stood up when Oliver checked his phone, it must be a member of the Gray family calling him, you really get an advantage over your foe when you know a lot about them, in fact she knew too much about Oliver.Oliver Gray is a man of habit, he hates change a lot, that was what caused fights in the later part of their relationship. She wasn’t ready to keep laying low and staying as the same Sapphire which irked him to no end and they had arguments over it every single night three years ago.At her side, a lot had changed. She turned to look at Alexander who was still sitting and smiled to herself, he is one of the major changes that happened to her that she loved, the man loves her and they both knew that, so she wasn’t anxious when she told him that he loves and he just smiled, he was not given the chance to speak before she kissed him.The man was always ready for her, no matter what she does, it seems like it is her next move that would always determine his, he kissed her with
“This is all your fault!” Oliver said to Heather and she raised her head from the phone. She had been watching the show, she was curious about who would get the award among the men and the host was about to announce it when Oliver shouted at her.She spared him a glance before turning back to face the phone and she fisted her hand in anger when the emcee mentioned Ruby’s name. Anyone could have gotten the award, why did it have to be Ruby? Why did everything revolve around the Conrad family?Oliver, who was ignored by Heather, was pissed too. He hates it when he is trying to have a serious conversation but he is ignored. He snatched the phone from her and threw it on the floor. She had been watching the damn show since they entered the car.“What the hell?!” She snapped and he stared at her in disbelief.“What?”“Why the fuck would you smash my phone on the ground?”“That is your only concern right now?” He asked and Heather tilted her head at him.“Am I supposed to have any other wor

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
