“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
Sapphire stared at the screen in disbelief, her brain could not comprehend the view she was seeing.“What….what is that?” Sapphire asked Maxwell and the guy sighed.“What the hell are they talking about? I didn't do anything, I haven't been to a club in three years, talk less of working there as a stripper,” “I really believe you. Believe me when I say I don't agree with them, I know you are not the one but there are videos and pictures of you that prove it right and it is really you, Sapphire. Anyone could see that,” Maxwell said and pressed his phone for a while before dropping it in front of her.“This is going to hurt you but you have to see this,” Maxwell added and after the ad that was displaying on the phone was over, a news anchor popped up on the screen.“Sapphire Eva Conrad is the first daughter of the Conrad family, a family that has been wealthy for ages, she is engaged to Mr Oliver Gray but recently it has been discovered that she is the worst of all species. Even though
Alexander pushed Matthew away from Sapphire and held her in her arms, he tried to move closer but he glared at him.“Don't try to move closer, stay where you are,” He gritted out, glaring daggers at the man.She wondered what he had said or done to trigger Sapphire's past, the man lowered his hand while still staring at it.“I would take my wife away now,” He told him and he nodded. Alexander turned to go but Matthew held him by the arm which made the man turn to look at him.“Can we have a discussion after you drop her in the room?” He asked and Alexander scoffed.“Can you get out of my property right now?” He asked in return and walked away with Sapphire in his hands.“What the—-” Matthew said and scoffed before walking away, he got into his car and sat on the car seat, he remembered how Alexander held Sapphire and jabbed his fist on the steering angrily.The man didn't like her, he is sure of that, he probably just wants to use her and her kids, especially her kids because he can't
How are you feeling now?” Alexander asked as he helped Sapphire sit on the bed.“Do you still feel dizzy?”Sapphire stared at the worried expression on his face and couldn’t help but let out a small smile. It was cute to see him look so worried, the big bad billionaire is fusing over nothing.“I am alright, just a little bit of memories I don’t want to remember,” She replied, and Alexander stared at her for a while before nodding in agreement.“I should prepare something for you to drink, I totally forgot, let me text Alyssa, I think she is downstairs, what kind of drink do you want? Or should I …..” He said but Sapphire wasn’t listening, is he really worried about him?“Do you not want to ask me what kind of memories trigger those reactions?” Sapphire asked with a raised brow and Alexander stopped what he was doing.“Of course I want to know, I have decided that you would be the one to tell me—“ He said but Sapphire cut him off.“That is what I am trying to do, sit. I am ready to tell
“Hello, I am Sapphire Finley, it is nice to meet you and I hope that we will all get along,” Sapphire said, bowing her head, as a form of greetings but all those who are present in the room just stared at her like she is most absurd thing they have ever saw.Sapphire grinned broadly, all her teeth on display and adjusted the bug round glass she used, while adjusting her hair that was covering her eyes and putting it behind her ears.She was wearing a big faded jean with a white top that looked like an obvious favorite. She wore a black jacket and carried a cross bag across her chest, dividing her front into two and was wearing a white sneakers.“Uhm….. welcome to the company, as you can see SJAY is not a super popular company with unlimited number of people, but it is quite well known among the people and we would have a breakthrough soon, so you should get ready for intense thinking when the time comes,” A woman who was in a formal suit said, and Sapphire nodded, still smiling like

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
