That name was what she was called some years ago when she was still in this city, anybody that knew that name and recognized her with that now, definitely used to see her face well and she remembered that she offended people with that name more than she did any good.
She was not in a good list of Alyssa's and her knowing that name isn't helping matters."God..." Alyssa said, her voice thick with wonder. " You have changed a lot, now I understand why I couldn't find you when I looked for you," she said in awe and Sapphire was still confused. She stared at the twin in confusion and Luci nudged her head towards Alyssa."Sorry, but I don't really remember getting involved with you in the past," she said and the twins nodded when she looked at them for approval, the other twins sat on the couch staring at them, already bored out by the conversation."Uhm, yeah.." Alyssa paused and thought for a while to gather her thoughts. "You may not know me but IMelissa sat at the pool with her legs in the river, she had her phone in her hand and earphones were connected to her ear. It was a fairly hot afternoon and the sun was just setting, it was just the nicest time to be at the pool.She paused when she saw the picture of Alyssa on her phone, she was surfing through Instagram. She smiled when she remembered that Sapphire would be going to Alexander's house today with the kids. She found herself wondering about those kids.They were definitely between three and four years of age and she didn't remember her sister getting pregnant before she left home. It was even more shocking when granny acted like it was not surprising, she definitely choked on her wine and dropped the glass in her hands when her mother told her.She felt like seeing Sapphire at that moment and confronting her and adding to that, her mother told her that when she investigated the matter, everything that came up was pretty normal, th
Sapphire stared at the left side of the bed with the corner of her eyes and quickly averted it, her children were sandwiched between her and Alexander.She had tried to stand up earlier but they didn't allow them to."So dad, if you had met mom in another situation would you not be so awkward with each other?" Andrea asked and Alexander stared at the kid, he raised his eyes to Sapphire and their eyes met and they stared at them for a while before he averted his eyes to stare at the kid."What do you mean another situation?" He asked"We are not dumb, you both were never in love because you do not behave like those cute couples," Andrew said. “Daddy is the only one that makes an effort while mom chases him away.”"Are you both in an arranged marriage?" Andrea asked and Sapphire choked."No, we are not. We met some time ago and dated for a while before we decided that I should move here with you guys," Sapphire quickly replied befo
Alyssa looked around and nodded her head in satisfaction, at least there's something that Audrey could do right. She was standing at the balcony with Sapphire who looked awestruck.Even though she was not on good terms with Audrey she didn't expect any less from her, she likes to think that she is elegant and seeing as she and Melissa were together the last time they were at the Aldine mansion, she may go ahead and invite the bitch. She looked over at Sapphire and chuckled, the Gray really did a number on her. It must have been a while since she had been to a gala, she looked so amazed.The whole place screamed elegant, if Sapphire thought that the party that the Conrad hosted was luxurious, this is on another whole level, it is nothing short of magical.It looked like a combination of historical and modern party and that added to its charm.It was a dark starless night but the golden lights that littered the whole place looked like they
Later, she stood with a glass of champagne in her hand. The party was alive and the guests were already here and Sapphire was pleasantly surprised when none of those kids recognized her.She didn't need the attention in the first place, she couldn't deny that she looked really different from who she used to be.Everyone was having their merry fun and she thought maybe, just maybe, she may make it to the end of the party without any drama."Ms. Finley?" Someone called and she turned. It turned out that she was the head manager of the company she would start working at.She was transferred there from the company she worked at in Gisborne, in order to make it difficult for the family to find her she used the maiden name of her mother and that's what she is referred to as _ Ms. Finley."It's a pleasure to meet you here, I thought that our first meeting would be in the company, I heard a lot about you. I am Belle Thompson." She said, shaking h
Oliver stared at the woman who he used to be engaged to and almost rubbed his eyes. He really didn't take it to heart when Sebastian told him that he met her and that she had changed.He didn't even believe that he saw her, he thought Seb was just joking around and he wished that he had believed him, maybe then he would have been ready to face her in person.She looked nothing like that broken girl who had too many tears stuck in her throat to talk. Gone are the waters that fell from her eyes anytime someone asked her what happened.The shaking knees were gone and her hair which used to look haggard was packed and a part was used to cover her eyes. Her once dry lips were painted blood red and looked like they were ready to kiss the next available person."How have you been?" He asked after the chatty Head manager left and Sapphire shrugged.How hard Oliver found it to believe that Sapphire could treat him nonchalantly. He used to be her world and they both knew it, she sought his atte
Melissa smirked when she saw the myriad of emotions that passed Heather's face when she saw her fiance's Ex.She is in for a treat because her Sapphire definitely packed a lot of sass from Gisborne.She took some steps back to follow the beats of the song but bumped into someone, she turned to look at the person and bitched at them but paused when she saw that it was that hot guy she saw in the garden with Alexander when they had that breakfast.She remembered that cripple calling him Andrew.She opened and closed her mouth, she was speechless, the approach she had planned seemed so useless now."Sorry for that, I wasn't looking where I was going," The guy apologized, he is a gentleman."It takes two to tangle, it is both of our faults, sorry" she said after regaining her sense of speech. "I am Melissa,""You can't be the famous Melissa or are you?""In her flesh and blood, am that Melissa,""Then you are Sapphire's sister," "Yes I am,""Alexander's cousin," he said and took a sip, "
“Oh my,” The lady with fur said, turning to face those she was standing with, eyes wide. “Are you all sure that is Sapphire, where did she get all that courage,”“Look, Tina, I am just as confused as you are, normally it is Heather talking like that to Sapphire,” Her friend told her and Tina turned to stare at Sapphire.“She just slapped her, Penny, like, Sapphire slapped Heather,” Tina said and Penny nodded.“We just saw that, stop screaming,” a man standing with them said, he adjusted his suit and took a glass of wine.“Don't they deserve that? They are bunch of assholes and bitches anyway, it is about time she put them in their fucking place,” Nick added.“Things are going to get pretty interesting very soon, look over there, Melissa is going to them,” Penny said pointing to Melissa.“I wonder if you would be able to stand up to Melissa, shame I didn't bring popcorns,” Tina said, adjusting her fur while she sipped from the glass.“You would be a weirdo if you did, idiot,”—--------
“Isn't it a sin to look that handsome, I mean, he gets hotter everyday,” Penny gushed.“How do you know that, this is probably the first time you have seen him in five years, you don't see him everyday,” Nick said, looking at the Aldine mansion, he wondered what Sapphire was doing there.“Shut up! I see him everyday on TV,”“You mean a picture of him,”“How on earth can he make himself look so distinct and expensive without even trying,” Tina said, staring at the man who was looking around, as if he was searching for someone. He was the only one standing where he was, nobody dared to get too close to him.“I don't know what your definition of expensive is but, a man who owns the most expensive collection of suits and tux, use wristwatches that can buy some people's entire generation and is wearing an Oliver Cambell right now is nothing short of expensive,” Penny said and Tina nodded staring at his shoes.“I guess you are right,” she said in a low tone. “I don't have a chance with him,

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
