Sapphire greeted everyone as soon as she entered the room and quickly walked to her seat. She sat in front of the system and started cleaning it. She had the weird lady role to maintain.If she is weird no one would think of not saying some things in front of her because they would think that she didn't know what she was doing.Who else in this company needs more information than her, acting weird was her best bet, if you are a gossiper, just like she once was, you get information too but not all and if you are too serious, you bet none.“Sapphire, do you know that our team once proposed an idea the last time and we failed,” Candy said and Sapphire stared at her with wide eyes.“Really??” She asked in an overly exaggerated manner and Katie scowled at her for yelling, she muttered sorry.“Yah, it was an epic fall, we used to be the best,” Craig said and Sapphire covered her mouth dramatically.“We are not going to fail now because if you fall,” she stopped staring at all of them and th
“What do you want from me?” Sapphire asked, cutting straight to the chase and Tina smiled.“Nothing, I want nothing from you,” Tina replied but Sapphire raised her brow at her in disbelief. “Okay, maybe a little bit of cooperation,” She added.“Cooperation? For what? As far as I am concerned you don’t have any problem with Oliver and Venita,” Sapphire replied.“Yeah, I don’t have an issue known to the public,” She paused to stare at her manicured fingers and painted nails “but actually, I hate both of them more than I do to anyone right now,” Tina replied with gritted teeth and Sapphire stared at her in askance.“Explain,” she told the woman curtly."I am a model and so is Venita,” Tina said and Sapphire nodded, it is too early to assume anything.“You want to be the model for his new cosmetic products?”“No,” Tina said with a disgusted look. “Of course not, he is a douchebag. He double crosses me every time at Venita’s request. I am not able to do anything in that company anymore becau
Sapphire knocked on the door after the secretary told her to go ahead. She really wants to stay away from this man but too bad, she is stuck here until she achieves her goal.You can’t keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you are not out of hell.She opened the door when he heard his voice, telling her to come in. She dropped the weird woman act and looked around the office with disgust written all over her face. This place used to be her office, well not technically but it was the office she designed for herself.Oliver raised his head to tell off the woman that entered his office and didn’t bother to greet him, it was bad enough that he had never heard of her name, he wondered how a person that isn’t from a well-known family ended up at SJAY.You only get to work there if you are rich or extremely brilliant, there is no in between. He hired the zero brain for their connection, he just put them in a position where all they have to do is easy, but for those with a brain, he put
Sapphire stood in front of the building and exhaled loudly, she was throwing herself to the wolves, it would be pathetic if they mauled her.She had taunted Oliver earlier that she was going to yoga practice when what she had was cooking class, if he knew about that and had corrected her it would have been so embarrassing, she could be really clumsy and forgetful at times.This place doesn’t really bring good memories to her, the fact that it looked just the same wasn’t helping her case, she wasn’t really nervous about coming here, it is not just easy to most of them at once because she is sure that more than twenty rich ladies would be here, heiresses, Directress, Manager, some are even CEO like Melissa and Tiara.“Oh my God!” Someone said, dramatically. The voice was coming from behind her but she didn’t make a move to turn, she already knew who it was, she faced the receptionist who was staring at her suspiciously because she was treating her well.She must have been so used to rud
Everyone gasped watching them with wide eyes, Heather had her hand on her cheek, eyes red and wide.“That should teach you a fucking lesson not to mess with me and that goes to every fucking person present here,” Sapphire said pushing Heather away, she loosed her balance and fell to the ground.Sapphire stood straight and stared at everyone present in the room with cold eyes, leaving no emotion showing.“Mess with me and I would give you a fate worse than the terrible ones you already had, got it?” She asked and they all cowered.Sapphire felt like she was on top of the world, it felt strangely satisfying and ordinary as she watched them avert their eyes.She wondered why on earth she never did this in the past, these people who just stood rooted in a spot would be the first to initiate an argument between her and Melissa years ago.They were the one that backbite her the most in the past, well they also did it to her face with Heather's support.“I hate your guts,” Heather said, grit
Sapphire’s eyes were wide in shock as she stared at Alexander whose body was soaked in his own blood, she remained motionless for a while and it was only when he fell on the ground, groaning in pain that her senses which seemed to have wandered away came back to her.She rushed to him and saw that the wound was from a gunshot, her eyes scanned the wound and she hooked her arm to his, trying to take him to the couch but he was too heavy for her. She raised her head and found herself staring at a man who was gawking at her.She raised a brow at him in askance but he was too busy staring, Sapphire clicked her finger and he jolted out of his daydream.“Who are you?” She finally asked.“I am Zayn, Alexander’s friend,” He introduced and helped her take Alexander to the couch.“Close that door for me, would you?”“Isn’t it daring to invite me in just because I said that I am Alexander’s friend, I know that with his character he wouldn’t talk about me to you, what if I came to hurt you?” He a
Sapphire opened her eyes slowly but all she could see was the flesh of some and a white cloth, she realized that her head was laying in some part of a person's body. She raised her head and saw herself staring at Alexander's face, she gave herself a moment as she recalled the event of the past day, she quickly moved away when she realized that she must have been straining the man's wound. She rolled to the other side and kept staring at him, the sunlight ray was directly on his face, the light made his black hair look like a very dark shade of blue, his jade-like brows, lip lashes, straight nose and pink lips made him look like something out of a perfect portrait. What she didn't understand is how on earth this man who could get any woman he wants kept pinning after her, was she really worth it? “Good morning,” he murmured and used her body to shield himself from the ray of sunlight, he moved and a groan fell from his lips. “Don't move too much, you are going to open that wound,
Sapphire rushed downstairs, she already had a hint that she was calling a thief but she is afraid that it may be a real misunderstanding and Luci can be really crazy when she is in the mood.It is just past nine and a Luci who is awake at this time on a Saturday would be definitely cranky.Alexander was walking after her calmly with a scowl on his face, he looked so irritated and like he would blow up anytime soon.“Zayn is a damn bastard,” he muttered to himself.“You said?” Sapphire asked, but Alexander just shook his head.“Why the hell are you screaming?” Claire asked, walking in from the yard, it was obvious that she had already woken up a while because she was already dressed.“The fuck is wrong with you? How would a thief enter a member of the Aldines' house, especially the one who controls all its affairs, brain Luci, use your damn brain,” Alyssa said, she wasn't usually this casual with Luci but she wasn't a morning person either.Her hair was a mess and all over the place,

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
