AUTHOR’S POV.“Here, you're going to love this.”Sapphire grinned as Mogan dropped the tray of hot soup in front of her.“You prepared it?” She asked as she picked up the spoon.“Of course. That’s why I am here, and I will keep preparing your meals as long as I am here. Now, try it,” she patted her and Sapphire smiled.She scooped the soup into the spoon, blew it gently, and then sipped it.She broadened her eyes, dropped the spoon, and covered her mouth with the back of her hand.“Why? You don’t like it?”“It is so delicious!” She exclaimed and Mogan clasped her hands together in excitement.“Have more,” Mogan said.As Sapphire drank the soup, she sniffed as tears threatened to fall from her face. She kept her head buried so that Mogan would not notice as it kept getting uncontrollable.“What’s wrong? Your stomach still hurts?” Mogan asked as she patted Sapphire’s back.“No…” she exhaled as the tears finally fell off her face.“It’s just that… the soup…” she raised her head as the te
AUTHOR’S POV.“It was very easy getting here! Who knows that your husband’s house is located clearly on the GPS!” Hilda squealed as she entered the room with Sapphire.“By the way, this place is so nice. I’ve only heard about this place. I’m entering for the first time.”“Hey, what’s up between you and Liam? Why did you look at each other that way?” Sapphire asked.When Hilda arrived, Daniel had called her to tell her and she had gone outside to meet her. There, she was as the two of them only stared at each other.“W…what are you saying?” Hilda asked as she settled on the couch in the room.“Hey… don’t tell me you’re still not talking over what happened at your first encounter?” Hilda pressed her lips together and looked away from her friend.“Woah, your room is so nice!” She grinned.“You’re not going to answer me?”Hilda was not interested in talking to Sapphire about what actually occurred between the two of them.Sapphire was the opposite of her and she would not appreciate tha
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“Is something going on between those two?” I asked Daniel as we entered the room and he shook his head.I am sure he was fed up with my questions already. I kept asking him till we got inside and he was not replying to me.“You are so nosey,” he shook his head as he unbuttoned his shirt.“Come on, Liam is your friend, so I am sure you are aware of what is going on.”“Is Hilda not your friend too?” He asked halfway, undoing his button.I shook my head and settled on the edge of the bed, “You are too uptight.”“Because I am refusing to gossip with you?” He laughed.“I mean, that is so boring, for real!” I hissed.“You are funny.”I dropped my eyes on his now bare chest and breathed out heavily. I hurriedly smacked my tongue and looked away from him.“By the way… you have not told me what happened to me. What did the doctor say?” I asked.“It’s nothing serious.”I frowned at his short response and turned to look at him again.This time, he was avoiding my gaze and I stood
SAPPHIRE’S POV.Breathlessly, I unwrapped my arms around Daniel’s waist and dropped them on his chest to tap him.We’ve been kissing for as long as I could remember and he did not take a second of space to catch his breath.Slowly, and unwillingly, he broke the kiss, while he panted heavily and then bored his eyes into mine. “Sapphire,” he whispered my name as I felt the rising and falling of our chest.“Daniel, I…”“Shhh,” he cut me short and moved back gently.“You don’t need to give me a reply now. I know you don’t feel the same way for me and I understand,” he said and I shook my head.Was he kidding me?I feel the same way, of course!How could he think it was vice versa?I felt like heaven was going to fall due to the excitement I was feeling.All this while, I had assumed that it was only me who felt that way for him and I thought it was wrong and illegal to feel so.Hearing his confession… him pouring his heart to me and through the kiss, I felt too much happiness in my heart
SAPPHIRE’S POV.These past two weeks have made me lazy and so happy that I wish that those days would never vanish.Mogan had to be the best sister-in-law that anyone could ask for.Apart from cooking for me and ensuring that I eat almost every hour daily, Mogan made sure that I did not go back to work no matter how much I protested.She claimed that I was not okay yet and Daniel backed her up too. Of course, I enjoyed her babysitting me, but it also came with her not letting me do anything in the house.As I applied the nude lipstick on my mouth, I glanced at Daniel who sat on the bed, staring at me, through the mirror, and then raised my brows.“Are you sure you want to do this?” He finally breathed out.I pressed my lips together in order to make the lipstick sit well on my lips before I turned around to look at him, “You know I have to.”“No, you don’t need to.”I shook my head and stood from the chair. No matter how much he had tried to stop me from visiting them, it was not work
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“I hope everything mum and dad told me is not true. You would not steal what belongs to me, right?” Emerald asked me as she covered the space between us.“Steal what belongs to you?” I tilted my head.That was what they told her? That I stole Daniel?Of course, my father would not want to admit that he had forced me to marry the man and now that he no longer has any say over it, he wanted to dump the blame on me.After all, Emerald was that favorite daughter he would not want to offend.“Logan is mine!” She snapped.I ran my hand through my hair and moved back gently then burst into laughter.“Hold on, he told you that I stole him?” I asked amidst laughter.My eyes dropped on my father who shook his head to me, stylishly pleading to me to go with the flow.What?Damn me if I do!“Just because I was in an accident. You went ahead to him and pretended to be me?! How dare you?!” She hollered.“Did your daddy not tell you that he was the brain behind it?” I raised a brow.
EMERALD’S POV.“It’s all your fault.”I said through gritted teeth as I tried to dig my nails into the floor in anger.I curled her fist in a ball and then hit the floor till my hands started to hurt.“Darling, you’re hurting yourself,” my father groaned.“It is all your fault!” I hollered and then slammed my palms on my thighs repeatedly.“What are you saying? You can see that Sapphire has changed too. She’s not been listening to me for a while now.”“That is because you were greedy too!” I snapped.I stood up and swept my hair to the back in anger. I bit my lower lips gently and then shook my head.“Why would you make her take my place just because I was in an accident? If you had explained to Logan the situation, he would have understood. Why would you do that?!”“The company was in danger also!” George snapped back and I drew my brows together.I knew my father was shameless, but till this extent?“What?”“You cared more about your company when I was in that situation?”“Emerald?
AUTHOR’S POV.When Sapphire got home, she hurried to the room after greeting Mogan who was watching a movie in the indoor cinema. Daniel was not inside when she got there so she dropped her bag and hurried out of the house to look for Daniel again.After searching for him for a while, she finally stopped at the library. She pushed the door open, entered fully and the moment she saw Daniel sitting ahead of her, she giggled in excitement and scurried over to him.“Daniel!” “Someone looks so happy,” Daniel smiled and pushed his chair to the back and then dropped the book in his hand.Sapphire stood in front of him and clasped her hands together, “Guess what?”“You squashed them real hard!” He grinned and then wrapped his arms around her waist.Sapphire jumped up in excitement and dropped her hands on his shoulders. “You bet!”“I guess I’ve missed a great scene,” Daniel laughed.“You should have seen their faces. I slapped her face really badly! My father was about to hit me too. You nee
