After trying but failing to explain to her teammates why she had to board a plane to Monaco just when they wanted to start reorganization, she finally gave up.It is not like she stood a chance against them, Alexander said it loud and clear that they were going on a date.Except for the cheers she got when she informed them that some people would be coming from Triple A, all she got through her explanation was wriggled brows and dated jokes.“I wish whoever I date would learn from Mr. Alexander, I would also like a date in Switzerland,” Candy said.“Not everyone is lucky like Sapphire, you should be content with what you have,” Mira replied.“No, I told you..” Sapphire tried to refute her claims.“Right, it is Monaco,” Candy corrected herself and Sapphire just gave up but she supposed that she should be happy that they are taking this positively, it is better than a negative reaction, right?“Wow, SJAY is not nearly bad, I supposed I could say the architectural design is nice,” They h
Venita entered the house and praised the skies when she met her grandmother sitting on the couch in the living room. She was just lucky that she was sitting where anyone could hear what she was about to tell her.Her pride won't let her go and start yapping to her uncle who she hates or her cousins who she despise nor her despicable aunt who she just hopes slips and falls out of the window.“I supposed you haven't heard of the latest development or you wouldn't be relaxing here like it is the time of your life, grandmother,” Venita said but Madam Emiliana did bother to spare her a glance.Marylynne, who just came down from her room upstairs, stopped on the stairs and watched the reaction between Venita and the old woman.The old woman didn't seem to be interested in whatever news she brought with her and Venita restlessness shows that it is an important and exciting news but judging by both of their expressions.Madam Emiliana won't ask and Venita won't tell if she won't ask, Marylynn
“I am still interested in knowing how the hell you got my kid's sample,” Alexander said, staring straight into Oliver’s eyes and the man scoffed in return.“Stop calling them your kid, I just bought proof that they are mine,” Oliver replied.“Cut the crap Oliver, while I am sure that you might have been able to get Sapphire pregnant, you wouldn’t have let her keep the kids, you loved Heather too much,” Ruby snapped at him, narrowing his eyes at the ridiculous man.“I don’t have the time to deal with your nonsense, Ruby. I would like it very much if you don’t interfere in my business,” Oliver groused at him.“Nobody is asking for what you like and what you don’t,” Alyssa said, defending Ruby and Oliver just shook his head before raising his chin confidently.He was quite sure about it this time, he hadn’t rigged anything and the doctor had confirmed that he was related to the kids. Alexander could do dozens of paternity tests like he is about to do at that moment and he would not freak
“Ollie!!” Cassie said with excitement when she saw Oliver standing there with the rest, Oliver despite the fact that he was annoyed still smiled at the kid and waved at her.He turned to stare at Jamie with squinted eyes, why on earth was she here with Cassie? And what nonsense is she talking about?“Hello Everyone, I am Jamie, Cassie's mom and Oliver's sister. I am sorry for the misunderstanding caused by my brother,” she apologized on his behalf and Oliver glared at her.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” Oliver snapped at his sister who was annoying her like hell at that moment. He was already pissed with Alexander and his family. He was ready to take the matters to court if he refused to give him his children.“Cassie!!” Andrew yelled Cassie's name and the cute kid giggled when she turned to the direction which the voice came from and saw both Andrew and Andrea.“Andrew! Andrea!” She said, left her mother and ran over to them.“Don't tell me you got Cassie to get the comb
Claire stared at the man sitting opposite her with an unreadable expression, he was saying something but she was only half listening to what he was saying.Her head was aching as a result of overthinking, with a lot of information that Melissa just dumped on her, he had called the waiter over and ordered what he wanted to eat because apparently he was starving because he had been busy with some stuff.“You aren’t angry that I replied to your text late were you, I wasn’t able to get to my phone quickly,” he informed her and she nodded in understanding. “I am sorry about Melissa’s behavior last time, she is not… well…she is usually like that,” he told her.“So what’s wrong? You are not looking good,” he told her, staring at her face, she was not her usual cheery self.“Melissa came to the gallery,” Claire said and a frown pulled up on Matthew’s face at the mention of his cousin’s name. He had known Melissa enough to understand that her visit to Claire, who Melissa was hostile to, would n
Melissa sat in the visiting room and shrink her nose in distaste and disgust, she is probably the only expensive thing in this place. She shouldn’t be here but she really had to know what the hell is wrong with Heather, things are not going well to plan.Oliver is not getting at Sapphire like she expected and the crazy bitch who would have urged him on was locked behind the bars.She did her findings and found out that it is Oliver that is deliberating holding her in prison, the Smiths have been trying to get their daughter to no avail, which made her wonder if Heather and Oliver are on bad sides of each other.Maybe she is being blackmailed to stay put but it isn’t like Heather, she would rather try to bring everyone down than being controlled like a puppet.The door creaked open and Heather was brought inside the room, cuffs used to hold her in place, the warden sat her down on the chair and left the room.Melissa stared at her and observed that there was no hopelessness, instead it
“Then what are you going to do now?” Alexander asked and Sapphire stared up at his face, she was laying her head in his lap while he ran his hand through the blonde mess.Sapphire thought about it for a while before shaking her head. She honestly had no idea what she should do, except the fact that she had to inform Luci about Oliver's trick, obviously.“What do you think I should do?” She asked and he raised a brow at her in amusement, she rolled her eyes in return before hitting him on his arm.“You should continue doing everything you are doing, you can't let him know that you already figured out his identity, he would try to find leverage over you that way,” Alexander told her and she nodded, urging him to continue.“Then you inform Luci about the kind of person he is and let her continue doing whatever she was doing there, pulling Luci out is a major alert to him, he would figure it out sooner or later.I would tell Zayn to dig up some dirt on that idiot and tell him to find all
Luci opened the door and was ready to let out her worries about her disappearance on her sister but she felt the words get stuck in her throat when she saw that the rim of her eyes are red and she has puffy eyes plus a runny nose, so she had guessed right away that her sister had done a lot of crying.An adult coming home past midnight is not something new and strange, but when it comes to Clairestelle Carter, she had every damn reason to be worried.She had not bothered to inform Sapphire of it after the woman had told her all she knew about Oliver, she came down for a drink and wanted to check on her kids, she never comes home past eight and she makes sure to call her and tell her the reason why she would be running late on days that she was but no text? No call? Major red flags.It must be pretty scary to know that the man you once loved is a psycho who had probably been stalking you and monitoring you every moment, he also plans to bring you down just for the fun of it just becaus

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
