“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
Sapphire stood on the podium, staring at the members of the high society present in the room. There was once a time when she wouldn’t dare to do this without her being insulted, no, she wouldn’t have the guts to come to the party.Andrea cupped her small hands over her mouth and screamed, cheering for her and she felt the tears well up in her eyes, all she ever wanted was to make her kids proud and standing here, she made a quick conclusion that she had been trying her best.“Thanks for this award, honestly, I didn’t expect it,” She said and the host nodded.“You were the most loyal, we Danavivie had to recognize how virtuous you are, you were chased but still came back for your twin, many insulted you because of your kids and you still made no efforts to hide, instead you did action that screamed to the world that they are yours,”“I think I have my husband to thank for the support mostly, I don’t care about my past and he doesn’t too, honestly he is the one that healed me. I wouldn’
“Talk about how you are going to be drained after an event before jumping around on the stage,” Claire said to the twins who were already asleep in the car, they had black out as soon as they found a comfortable spot to sit in the car.“You are talking as if you are the one who would carry them to bed,” Luci said, nodding to Zayn who carried Andrew in his hands while Ruby carried Andrea.“I would have be the one to of Ruby and Zayn here, decided to drive away just as their parents did,”“They left their kids with us because they trust us that we won't abandon them,” Luci said.“ I would have tossed both of them into the dump site if they were still awake and their mouths were still running,” Zayn said.“Everyone knows that you can't tolerate a bit of insult from the kids,” Luci replied.Ruby's phone vibrated and he adjusted Andrea to rest on his shoulder while supporting her with an arm, he walked ahead while pressing his phone.“Yeah, Grandma,” he said into the phone.“Hi Ruby, congr
Three Years AgoIt has been two weeks, two weeks since she was bailed from the prison and sent to a rehabilitation center because she smokes and uses drugs and loves strip dancing, even though none of the things listed made any sense to her.She sat at the window side, staring at the green field that is withering and she thinks that's her life.She had accepted the fact that her fiance is someone who would love nothing more than ruining her, and her best friend is a schemer who just wanted the Gray title, couldn't she have gone for richer men? Oliver is definitely not the richest in the circle? But she could never know because all these while she only had eyes for him and now that he disappeared from her sight, she didn't know how to behave.He was the one that matched her family and demanded that they put her in a rehabilitation center for the time being. Although he could never be with her anymore, he won't stop caring about her.He said those words hand in hand with Heather, starin
“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Heather asked and Sapphire raised her head to stare at her, her hand was still on her cheek which still felt hot from the slap.“That's supposed to be my line, why on earth are you here?” She asked and Heather scoffed while Melissa just entered the room, her eyes ran over the most minimalistic room she had ever seen and sucked her teeth in disgust.How is Sapphire able to live here? There is not even a mat to lie down on, it was bare to the least.“You contacted Oliver's family? What nerves you got right there to do that!” Heather screamed at her and she turned to look at Melissa who was also staring at her and the woman nodded in confirmation.“Yeah, you are right, I told her all about it,” Melissa said and Sapphire scoffed. “You were trying to contact the Grays because you know that they preferred you to Heather, Heather here is one of my people, I can't just watch you do that to her can I now?”Heather reached for Sapphire's shirt and dra
Sapphire squinted her eyes while trying to open it, opening her eyes with half vision made the whole room look like it was made of only white objects.Was this what heaven looks like? Was this the legendary white light you see? Sapphire hoped with every single fiber in her body that it was but her hope was shattered when she started hearing that damning beeping sound.She had been in too many hospitals recently that if she heard this sound a mile away, she would recognize it.Her eyes flew open and she looked around, she was in a private ward with white walls, nothing like the crowded public hospital that her uncle had his thugs drag her to, where they were all separated by curtains.This hospital gave her privacy, but not quite the one she needed, the best privacy she could get right now is the one that your grave gives to you.She felt tears gather in her eyes, she had to use all the courage she could get to jump over that damn bridge, shy save her?The door opened but she didn't bo
Alexander stared at Sapphire and balled his fist, he felt so sorry that she had to go through all of that alone, he didn’t want to get himself involved in anything that had to do with the circle of high society but what they did to his sweetheart was too much to be ignored. Were they even humans? How the hell can they do that to someone, they weren’t tactical or smart, they were downright evil, they proved themselves to be a beast from hell, and for that they are not going to leave unscathed. Every single one of them took a part in what happened and they are going to get it back in double folds. He pulled Sapphire closer to himself and she snapped to get out of the haze she was stuck in, she raised her head to stare at him and it seemed to have glossed over with unshed tears, as soon as their eyes came into contact, she immediately averted her eyes. Somehow Alexander seemed to know that the story wasn’t over and he also knew that was probably all that Sapphire could tell him. “Sw
Sapphire turned as soon as Alexander closed the door and smashed her lips on his, hard and passionately, she barely gave him the time to lock the door behind him, she could hardly control her breathing that was coming out in pants, the tension had been so thick in the car that she almost begged him to take har right there and then.The man also responded with equal ferocity, if not more, and Sapphire definitely felt her legs go weak and wobbly, he pulled her closer to himself and let their tongue dance in a steamy tango with each other when she allowed his entrance to her mouth.Her hands crawling up to run itself through his silky hair while his went down her waist, resting perfectly on her butts, she tightened her hold on his hair and he squeezed her butt which made her let out a moan but it was muffled by his lips that was still swallowing her whole.He raised his lips from hers and trailed kisses down her jaws before stopping to suck on her neck, bruising the spot and she knew tha

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
