LIAM’S POV.I crossed my arms across my chest while I took glances at the crying woman who sat beside me.I shook my head, smacked my tongue, and then removed a handkerchief from my pocket, and then handed it over to her.Hilda pressed her lips together and wiped her tears with the back of her hand before she finally collected the handkerchief from me and then watched as I tightened my arms across my chest back and she looked away from me.I shook my head as I heard the woman blow her nose into the handkerchief and I took another look at her.Anyone who does not know her would think she was a vulnerable and pitiful woman. If I had not met her before, I would have thought that way too, not to lie.Right now, her face was swollen from crying too much and I was almost looking like a bad person as the people who walked past us would not stop giving me some looks.God knows I was not the reason she was crying anyway.“Thank you,” Hilda groaned as she stretched the handkerchief to me.I sna
DANIEL’S POV.I palmed my forehead as I watched my mother and Mogan who began to discuss how Mogan was going to move into my house and how well she was going to take care of Sapphire.My father just shook his head and gestured to me to let them have their way.It was not like there was anything I could do though. Mogan coming to stay with us means more trouble.When we were little, I used to think Mogan was my mother and not my sister.Aside from being too bossy, Mogan would hit me each time she was not having her way.She was just this cruel sister that I did not almost like while growing up.Not to lie though, she was still the best gift ever.I loved my sister so much that I would lay my life down for her.I took another look at Sapphire who was still sleeping and then leaned down. I cupped her cheek while I hesitated to kiss her lips before I finally leaned back.“I’m coming,” I said to my family and then walked out of the room.—-I looked around for Liam for a while before I fin
AUTHOR POV.Liam sat rather patiently as he stared at the menu while he waited for Hilda.It had been over twenty minutes since their agreed time and she was not there yet.He glanced at his wristwatch and then picked up his phone when he felt someone rush towards him and he raised his head to look at the woman.Unlike other times that he had met her, she was wearing big trousers and that was not the case now as she was wearing a black dinner gown which made her look so sexy and elegant.He stood from his chair and pulled out the chair beside him and waited for her to get there.“Jesus, I am so so sorry!” She exclaimed and clasped her hands together.“You really did keep me waiting,” he said as he gestured to her to sit down.“I am sorry. My car broke down on my way here and it took a while for the taxi I called to get to where I was. I am sorry,” she apologized as she settled on the chair.Liam returned to his seat and pressed his lips together. “Are you sure this is not a date thoug
AUTHOR’S POVHilda moved her chair closer to Liam and leaned closer to him, her fingers caressing his lips slightly, as she licked her lips slowly. "Are you trying hard to play hard to get?" She teased.She heard his sharp intake of breath, and she smirked lightly, using her fingers to pinch his lower lip a bit. Then, she slowly pulled her hand back, only for his hand to come up, holding her firmly to himself."Not so fast," he drawled.She smirked at those words. "Why? Do you wish to have sex with me or are you still playing hard to get?"Hilda bit back a moan as Liam pulled her finger into his lips, sucking lightly. His plump lips were too good, and she wanted even more. How hot would he be in the safety of a bedroom? She couldn’t even bring herself to imagine all of that."I’m called Liam for a reason, and when I want a woman, I go all in. The question is, can you be able to handle me, Hilda?"Using her fingers, she teased his outfit slightly. "Why don’t you see for yourself?" She
AUTHOR’S POV.He stirred in his sleep and then stuttered his eyes open before he dropped his hand on the woman lying on the bed beside him—only that she was not there.Liam opened his eyes fully and looked around the room and when he did not see the woman anywhere around, he sat upright and breathed out.Maybe she was in the bathroom.He assumed.He looked around the messy room and when his eyes caught only his clothes on the floor, he got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom.He pushed it open and walked to the balcony of the hotel room to see if she was there.“Where did she go?” He asked himself as he walked back to the bedside. He was about to pick up his phone when his eyes met with the small paper in the drawer and he picked it up.However, Liam’s brows pulled together in disbelief as he read the short letter Hilda had dropped for him.“I enjoyed myself. Thanks.”“What is this?” He groaned as he tightened the paper in his hand and then threw it on the floor before he picke
AUTHOR’S POV.“Jesus, this is so embarrassing. Why are you treating me like a baby?” Sapphire groaned as she buried her face in Daniel’s neck.She had just been discharged and her husband had carried her in a bridal style from the ward till they got outside the hospital.People were watching and it seemed like she was the only person who was feeling embarrassed.Daniel did not even seem fazed by that!“Why is it embarrassing? I am simply saving my wife from stress,” he whispered in her ear.“Did I tell you I can not walk?” She asked right back.“I just want to do this, okay? Just enjoy the moment,” he said, stopped walking, looked into her eyes, and then kissed her cheek slightly before he resumed walking.“You have been acting weird since yesterday,” Sapphire smacked her tongue and Daniel burst into laughter as he stopped by the car.“Because I pecked you?”“You kissed me in front of everyone yesterday too,” she hissed.“You are my wife. I can do that,” he said as he lowered her gent
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
