AUTHOR’S POV.“We should start going home, Daniel,” Liam said to Daniel as he returned to the base.“Not now,” Daniel groaned from where he sat.His eyes were pinned on the huge screen in the room as the other men were working on the laptop.“Daniel,” Liam palmed his forehead.Since they left home in the morning, they had not returned to the house nor had Daniel slept off or taken a bit of water or food.He had at least slept off for about an hour and had had a bit of food to eat.Daniel refused to do anything. He only watched as the men worked hoping a lead could come on.“Daniel,” he called her name again.“It’s past ten,” he added.When Daniel did not even act like he heard him again, he sighed and went to settle on the chair beside one of the men.Hilda’s call came in for the umpteenth time and he declined it again.Liam pressed his lips together and clasped his hands together as he wondered if he should keep cooperating with Sapphire or if he should tell him what was going on ind
EPISODE 178. THE D-DAY.AUTHOR’S POV.Liam laid Daniel on the bed even though the man groaned in protest.It was the third day that Sapphire had left home and Daniel had still not returned home. He had not eaten too, and it took him a long time before he made the man drink water early in the morning.He understood his friend but he wished there were other ways he could persuade him to eat and that his wife was going to return to him soon— only that there was no way he would tell him that without telling him how he knew that.Daniel rolled on his stomach and grabbed the pillow to himself. He clutched it closer to him and moaned Sapphire’s name.After staring at Daniel for a while, Liam turned to leave the room and then went to meet the others who were in the living room.“How is he?” Alice asked him.“He will be fine. He just needs to rest,” he answered as he glanced at Hilda who rested her head on Mogan’s thigh as she sat on the floor.“I think you guys should go home. M
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire adjusted her top as she stared at the laptop again. She knew a day like this was going to come, but she did not know it would come so soon.She watched as Agatha entered the room and then walked to the dressing table to grab her bag. When she was done, she closed the laptop and then almost immediately, she heard a bell.She carried the laptop in her arm and then carried her bag in another hand then exited the room.“Ma’am,” the driver that had brought her here greeted as she opened the door.“Let’s go,” she said.“How long would it take for us to return to the city at the highest speed?” She asked as she walked after him.The man glanced at his wristwatch and then answered. “There is no traffic so, let’s say about an hour,” He said.While she was coming here, they had spent about two to three hours on the road as there was mad traffic.“Are you confident? We gotta get there as soon as we can,” she said.“Yes, ma’am.”The man held the door for her and as she was
AUTHOR’S POV.“Woah, that is too easy,” he laughed as he entered the house with Agatha.“I’ve been here for several years, so of course, they trust me when I say you’re my family,” she smacked her tongue and then twitched her mouth at the few maids who were in the living room.“Ah… Mr. Liam sent him to come do something here,” she said to them.“Follow me,” she said to Damien and then headed to the stairs.“Did you bring it?” She asked as they ascended the stairs side by side.“Yeah, sure. What are we doing now?” He asked.“Follow me.”As they entered the room, Damien slammed the door harshly behind him and then moved over to the bed where Daniel was lying.“Is he dead?” He asked.“Dead? He’s just sleeping! Hand it over to me, hurry,” she snapped her fingers.Damien dipped his hand in his pocket, removed a syringe and a needle then handed it over to Agatha.Agatha collected it from him and then moved over to the bed. She knelt on the bed beside Daniel and as she inserted the needle on
AUTHOR’S POV.“Can’t you drive faster?!” Sapphire hollered as she burst into tears.“I’m sorry, ma’am. We will get home soon,” he said as he stepped on the gas.Sapphire picked up her phone and then pressed her lips together. At this point, there was no one she could call anymore, and she could only hope that nothing would happen till she got home.Calling Hilda in this situation was going to be the last thing she would do, so instead, she dropped the phone and returned to watching the screen.If she had been told that Agatha was as wild as this, then she would have disagreed.This woman was literally so down to earth that she took her for a mother.She respected and admired her so much.Turning out to be their greatest enemy was something she would have never seen coming. No one would ever have.Daniel killed Agatha’s daughter?How?===“You…” Liam frowned as he pinned his eyes on Damien.“Yeah, me,” he flashed her a smile.“Fuck!”Liam slammed his palm against his head and then his
AUTHOR’S POV.“Don't honk,” Sapphire said to the driver as he approached the big gate of their house and he nodded his head.When the car pulled in front of the gate, she got out of the car hurriedly and then rushed to the gate. She knocked on it gently and almost immediately, the gate pulled open and the security man’s face lit up as he saw her.“Madam!” He exclaimed.“Hi,” she waved her hand and then dashed inside.While she hurriedly waved her hands at the other men who looked at her in excitement, she placed her index finger on her lips as she hurried to the big door.She can’t afford to let them know that she is here yet.“Ma…”“Shhh,” she hushed the maids who almost screamed at her sight, and then moved over to one of them.“How are you?” She asked while her eyes were fixed on the stairs.“Ma’am,” she whined.“You all should stay quiet, don’t make noise, please,” she said and then moved away from the lady.Slowly, she ascended the stairs and then headed to their room.When she
AUTHOR’S POV.“Why did you do that?” Daniel asked when he broke the hug.“I am sorry,” she shook her head.“Why… Did you not trust me? Why did…” he sighed and when his eyes finally dropped on Agatha and Damien who sat in a corner of the room, wincing in pain, he breathed out and turned to look at her again.“Let’s sort this out first,” she said to him.Daniel pressed his lips together and looked around the room again.“Welcome, bro,” Liam waved his hands at him.Daniel touched his neck which hurt a little and he fondled Sapphire’s hand with his other hand.“Before we sort anything out. Daniel, what did I hear about you being threatened for four years or something?” Mogan drew her brows together.Daniel groaned and then shook his head. He knew that a day like this would come and no matter what he said, his parents would not take it easy with him for hiding it from them.“I’ve been receiving death threats for four years,” Daniel said as he dropped his eyes on Agatha.When he stared deepl
AUTHOR’S POV.“Shit!” Agatha winced and bowed her head as she sobbed.This was a huge turn of events and she was not expecting even a bit of it.“No, it’s not true, Ma. I would never do that to Isabella!” Damien protested.“It was you all along?” Agatha cried.“No. No. He is lying. He is trying to cause a rift between us!”“A rift? How? I did not even know you used to stay opposite her house or if you were the so-called DRay. Are you kidding?” Daniel frowned.“What do we do?” Liam nudged Daniel a bit.“You should not have done this… Agatha. I might have never said it to you, but… I respect you way more than this shit. I am sure it must have crossed your mind at least once.”“It was not my fault. I heard a voice recording of where you were threatening Isabella. You told her to get rid of the baby or you’d kill her,” Agatha cried.“And it never occurred to you that it might have been voice pished?” Daniel asked.Liam smacked his tongue as his phone rang and he picked it up almost immedi

“Spending a whole three months in France made me assume that you and Daniel will not return here again,” Hilda snorted as she settled on the chair beside Sapphire who had her eyes glued on the big screen in the in house Cinema. “We had to return. I’m near my due date and we don’t want to deliver our baby there,” Sapphire smiled as she dropped her hand on her friend’s hand. “You really spent three months there! I thought it was just going to be a week or two vacation!” Hilda hollered. “Trust me when I say that I don’t even wanna return. It’s really fun there. Plus, we were not there all through the three months, we traveled to Rome, Amsterdam, and so on.” “Tsk, no wonder you don’t always pick up my calls.” “You nag too much, Hilda. At least you came to see us in France with Liam about two months ago.” “So? That is enough. You don’t miss me at all?!” “No, no, I’m not saying that. Of course, I miss you a lot,” Sapphire shook her head. “Oh, Pookie… come here,” Hilda leaned closer t
FINALE.~~~DANIEL~~~I settled on the bed beside my sleeping wife and then dropped my hand on her stomach.“Amore, time to get up.”I stared at her sleeping, innocent face and then shook my head. Since we returned from Mogan’s party around eleven PM last night, till now, 10:56 AM, she had been sleeping.I proceeded to move the hair from her face and caressed her cheeks.“Amore.”When she did not answer nor stir in her sleep, I shook my head and then smacked my tongue.I do not like waking this woman. It usually takes a while before she answers.I raised my head as the maid walked out of the closet and I raised my brows, “Are you done?” I asked as I glanced at the bag in her hand.“Yes, sir.”“Take it to the car,” I said and she nodded her head, bowed, and then walked away.Today was the day I was going to show her the surprise that I have for her and I can’t wait for her to see it and be happy.I kept shaking her gently till she finally stirred in her sleep and then I exhaled. “Good mo
AUTHOR’S POV.“Babe, come help me with my shoe,” Sapphire said after she finished adjusting her dress.“I’m coming!” Daniel said from the closet.She settled on the edge of the bed and then sluggishly picked up the shoes from the ground.This evening, she was feeling heavier and lazier than usual. She just wanted to stay in bed and sleep, but it was Mogan’s party, and they gotta be there too.She panted as she felt beads of sweat gathering on her forehead and she wiped it off.She turned to look in the direction of the closet again and then Daniel did not come out still, she exhaled and shook her head.This was something she could do herself. However, she could not as she was tired and pregnant!She needed him to come help her, but he was not leaving the closet.“Babe,” she swallowed hard.When Daniel did not answer, She tried to wear the shoe herself but her stomach was making it hard for her so she just gave up again.“Daniel!” She snapped.“Amore, I’m coming,” Daniel came out of th
AUTHOR’S POV.For about a minute, the room was quiet as everyone kept mute.They definitely did not see that coming.Alice was the first to find out about Ethan and Mogan. She just knew something was up when Ethan had stopped calling and coming by to tell her to beg the woman.At first, she thought that Ethan was giving up on Mogan, but then again, she knew that was not the case.He had been waiting for her for several years to give up that way.So, she dug into it after sharing her thoughts with Daniel.As usual, Daniel and her husband just told her to mind her business and leave the two alone but she didn’t agree.When she found out the truth, it was when the two had rented out the whole restaurant just to have a date and immediately, she called Daniel and then Thomas.The three agreed to keep it within them and not say anything as it might be as if they were invading their privacy.Alice, at first, didn't agree with that. She literally wanted to go in at that moment and be like, “B
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire carried the funerary urn tightly in her arm as she stared at the sea with Daniel beside her, and then Liam, Hilda, and Carlo behind them.She closed her eyes as she muttered words on the funerary urn and then sniffed gently.Her mother had specifically told her that whenever she died, she wanted to be cremated and then that her ashes be poured into the sea.Sapphire had tried to persuade her mother not to do that as it was better for her to be buried, but Charlotte declined. “LETTING GO.”Charlotte had said. She said it was the best for her and Sapphire.The cremation process had taken two hours and afterward, Daniel had driven them to the sea that used to be her mother’s favorite“Amore,” Daniel patted her shoulder gently, gesturing to her that it was time to let go of her mother.After a while of clutching it closer to herself, Daniel watched as Sapphire began to sprinkle the ashes in the water while she muttered words and smiled.“Till we meet… to part no mo
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel clicked on the button on the laptop, leaned back, and then raised his head as Liam moved over to him.“What’s that?”“Let’s watch,” he smiled.When Daniel had told Liam about his experience with Baldwin, the man had felt very bad and sad for his friend.Instead of getting mad at him for keeping it to himself all that while, he instead pulled him into a hug and muttered words of encouragement to him.As Daniel and Liam heard the scream that came from the laptop, they glued their eyes to the screen.Baldwin was hung up in the air while his feet were dangling around. He was stripped naked and looked around in fear.“Holy Moly!” Liam exclaimed as he watched the video in front of him and then glanced at his friend who had no expression on his face.It definitely was his idea.“What are they doing?” Liam asked as his eyes met with the firewood on the floor centered on where Baldwin was dangling from.“Showing him what hell feels like,” he raised the corner of his lips i
AUTHOR’S POV. Charlotte sat patiently behind the counter as she waited for the man to appear and after what seemed like an eternity, he walked towards her with two cell guards behind him. “See who is here,” he snorted as he settled on the chair and then tapped the glass which divided them. Charlotte stared at George and then nodded her head, she watched as the guards left them alone and then leaned her back against the chair. “You must have missed me, no?” George laughed. “You left without telling anyone. Should I be happy about your presence? You don’t think I am going to accept you, do you?” He raised his brows. “You… you look so good in that jail uniform,” Charlotte commented and then chuckled. “What?” George frowned. “That uniform. I said it looks so good on you,” she smiled again. “Hey!” “I heard you’re sentenced to twelve years imprisonment, with four years probation afterward.” “So? Do you pity me?” “Pity you? Come on, no way. I don’t even mind if you’re sentenced to
AUTHOR’S POV.“How could you say you don’t want to meet him?” Sapphire pulled her brows together.“You might not know… no, it is something that you know very well. I am not like you. I’m not going to seek validation from another man just because MY DAD, George, is in prison. Never. He treated you wrong… not me. Get your facts right, while growing up, I was loved by him. He hated you so it is understandable if you choose to accept another man. As for me, I am not interested in that shit. All I need is to get away from this fucking country and away from you all. I hate you very much and staying in this country with you all is messing with my head and I might want to do something bad again… you know I always do,” she breathed out and swept her hair to the back.“Have fun with your new father… but I don’t care. Just give me money, and I will leave. I know you want that more than anyone else.”Sapphire smacked her tongue and exhaled. Of course, she wanted it. She took a glance at Carlo who
