Sapphire watched as Oliver wrapped his hand around Heather's shoulder and led her away from the room but couldn't hear what they were saying, her eyes were blurry and her ears were ringing.

She was tempted to lie down there on the floor and take a breath while letting them do whatever they wanted to do to her but her love for her unborn child won't allow that.

It would eat at her conscience for the rest of her life if she allowed it, so with all the strength in her, which isn't much by the way, she tried to stand up but her leg failed her and she found herself on the floor again.

She could feel the perspiration all over her body and she knew that she was coming down with a fever. Doesn't matter, she crawled her way to the door and opened it, she crawled out of the apartment and locked the door behind her when she was out of his place.

She rested her back on the door and let out a breath before she continued her journey. She crawled all the way to

    Sapphire heard the beeping of a machine and was faced with darkness. She wondered what was happening and realized that she was closing her eyes.She tried to open her eyes even though it was as heavy as a lid, she could hear the sound of people going back and forth, the signature smell of a hospital and the bed that didn't feel like her bed.She was finally able to open her eyes and it was blurry for a moment before everything started to become clear. She blinked rapidly, trying to clear her vision.She was really at a hospital, she stared around and realized that it was the hospital room that she was admitted into when she sprained her ankle.“What is happening, Why am I back here?” She asked herself as she stared up at the ceiling. “Last thing I remembered was that I slept on my bed,” she kept talking and tried to sit up but fell back because of the intense pain she felt , her leg was in a cast but the pain she felt was in her stomach and lower

    PRESENT THE ALDINES' MANSION Alexander was wondering why Sapphire wasn't back when he noticed that Oliver too was also missing from the group, he cursed and made his way towards the ladies restroom.He met Alicia on the way and held her by the hand, pulling her to a stop while still looking around.“What's wrong?” Alicia asked and Alexander turned to her and nodded.“Did you see Sapphire come this way, she said that she wanted to go to the restroom and she had been gone for the past thirty minutes,” He said and Alicia stared at him puzzled.“That isn't a cause for alarm, she could be doing her business there or getting away from those brats,” Alicia said.“Oliver had also disappeared, I remember that he left shortly after Sapphire did,”“It could be a coincidence,” she said unsure and he shook his head.“I don't believe in that,” He replied and started walking away.“So, are you going to enter th

    Sapphire woke up and looked around and saw that she was in their bedroom, hers and Alexander's room.She moved her hand to her forehead and noticed that it was cold, she must have had a fever.The door opened and Alexander entered, he was holding a plate of fruit, he smiled when he saw that she was awake. He dropped the tray on the table where there was already food and sat on the bed.“How are you feeling?” He asked and she nodded but he moved closer to her and touched her forehead with the back of her hand before nodding in satisfaction.“You don't trust me?” Sapphire asked and Alexander shook his head with a smirk. “Why?” She asked with a smirk of her own.“You didn't use your words,” he stated simply and she scoffed.“That means I should not trust your answer too because you didn't use your words,” she stated and he nodded in agreement.“No, don't trust it,” he replied and Sapphire chuckled.“Idiot,” she sai

    “What?” Sapphire asked, staring at Alexander in surprise, how easily he could say something would cause the downfall of someone.“Do you want me to uproot it, turn it upside down or bankrupt it, anyone who works for me, just say the word,” he said nonchalantly, still smiling at her and she wondered how many people had crossed his way and he had ruined it while sipping his favorite wine.“What did he do to you? You hate him?” Sapphire asked and Alexander nodded.“Of course I do, you have no idea how much. He is rude and cocky, adding to that, he doesn't know his place,”“Those are the reasons?” She asked with a raised brow and he moved closer to her with a smile on his lips.“And he hurt you, that's unforgivable,” he finished his list with a proud smirk and Sapphire couldn't help the smile that appeared on her lips.If she had someone like Alexander years ago, then everything would have been alright, she may have traveled to Gisbo

    “You sound like you are proud of her,” Alexander said and Sapphire nodded her head.“You make it sound like it is a bad thing,” she said, tilting her head to one side.“You are insufferable!” He exclaimed and turned to the kids who were still at each other's throat. “Stop bickering, you would give your mom a headache,” he told them.“You don't hear me complaining,” Sapphire said and Alexander scoffed.“Are you encouraging them? To continue fighting?” Alexander asked and Sapphire rolled her eyes at the dramatic man.“Playing, not fighting, playing” Sapphire said and the kids moved closer to her before sitting beside them.“You should get up soon, we have been waiting for you all this while, you have been sleeping since yesterday,” Andrea mumbled and Sapphire turned to stare at the kids, Andrew nodded in confirmation.“Yeah, we were,” Andrew affirmed.“You have to learn how to do things without me, I am going to

    Sapphire stood at the stairs and let out a sigh when she saw Matthew who was sitting on the couch. She didn't want to get involved with most of the Conrads.Why can't they just leave her alone, she just wants to make her kids happy for now, why can't they just do the honors of doing her alone.Alexander stared from Sapphire to the guy on the couch and back at Sapphire, he wondered who he was to make Sapphire sighed like that.Even though she only considered him a friend, he felt quite possessive of her and didn't want to see any man who had ulterior motives around her.“Who is he?” He asked Sapphire, gesturing to the man who was still oblivious of their presence.“Matthew,” She said shortly.“Matthew…..?” He asked trailing off and Sapphire turned to look at him, she wondered what the man was asking. She moved her gaze to Claire, who was standing behind them.She saw a small smile on her lips, Claire wriggled her brow when her eyes met Sapphire's. Sapphire raised a brow at her and Clai

    “This is Alexander, my husband,” Sapphire said instead, pointing to Alexander who was patting the kids head.“Oh, I see…” he said with half attention, he seemed to be thinking about another thing.“So what do you have to say to me?” She asked with a raised brow.“Can we discuss it privately?” He asked, staring at Claire and Alexander.“Okay,” Sapphire said, she turned to Alexander. “I would be back in a bit,” She told him and he nodded .“Come this way,” Sapphire said and led Matthew into the garden, the man followed him like a lost puppy.She sat on the chair that was in the garden and he sat down beside her.“Grandma told me to tell you to come over to the house, she had something to discuss with you, something about asking you to join the family company,” Matthew said, and Sapphire raised a brow at him.“And why would I do that?” Sapphire asked and Matthew sighed.“She thinks that since you are not dating or engaged to Oliver and you are not working in his company, you should come

    Alexander and the kids stood at the window, looking over the garden and watching as Sapphire and Matthew discussed.“What do you think that man wants?” Andrew asked.“Who knows? Mom said that he is part of the Conrad family, he also said that he has a message for her from the rest so we just wait and watch.” Andrea replied, staring intently at the man.“Why is he asking about our dad though, I don’t see how that is any of his business,” Andrew said, and Andrea nodded.“What do you think would happen if your dad shows up?” Alexander asked and Andrea stared at him in confusion.“Aren’t you our dad?” Andrea asked and Andrew rolled his eyes.“He is talking about our birth father, mom called it bio- something,” Andrew said.“Biological,” Alexander said and Andrew nodded.“Yes, that is the word!” He confirmed.“It depends on who the man is, if you turned out to be our father then we would stay,” Andrea said and Andrew nodded, Alexander raised a brow at the kids.“Though the chance is pretty m

    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
