AUTHOR’S POV.Mogan clasped her hands together as she flashed her workers a smile. It’s Monday and they’ve been working all day. “It’s the first day at work and I’m glad of how we’re starting,” she said with a wide smile.“By next week hopefully, our time will be more balanced as there will be a fixed time for breaks. I know we could not have that because we’ve been swamped with work today.”“It’s no problem at all, ma’am. It’s a huge privilege for me… for us to be starting this with you,” one of them said with a huge smile on her face and she nodded her head.“Thank you very much.”“So, guys. I want you all to be aware of the poli…” her voice trailed off as she noticed the person who walked quietly inside.When her eyes met with the woman, she twitched her lips upwards cynically and curled her hand gently into a wall.“Mogan,” she called her name with a wide smile on her face.“Vanessa,” Mogan called her back.Mogan… her past secretary. The main reason she had a fallout with Ethan.
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel arrived home with excitement written all over his face. The thought that he was going to meet his wife was making him happier than usual.When he entered the room, she was lying on her stomach on the bed and he hurried over to her, spanked her butt, and then waited for her to react.“Daniel,” she groaned as she turned around.“What is wrong? Are you not happy to see me?”Sapphire sat upright and frowned, “What happened today?”“Today? Nothing much, just meetings, work, and stuff.”“I called Tina earlier and apparently, I was at work. Only that I did not step out of the house today at all.”“Oh, shit,” Daniel smacked his tongue and shook his head.He did not even think ahead. Of course, she would know!“Emerald was there. Why?”“Babe, you should not worry yourself with something like that,” he shook his head, leaned closer to her, and cupped her cheeks.“No, I want to. Why did Emerald visit you? Did you call her? She was in your office for a while, why? What did yo
AUTHOR’S POV.“How did you know how to speak Italian? You speak it a lot,” Sapphire asked as she dropped popcorn in her mouth while she glued her face on the big screen.“I studied in Italy, did you not know?” “You did?” She raised her head to look at him.“After I finished high school, I went there and that was where I met Liam. We even moved in together at some point.”“Really?!”“You did not know?” He laughed.“It’s not like you have ever told me, have you? I just had to ask because you’re so fluent at it.”“I was there for many years and I can speak it very well. Can you speak any other language aside from English?”“Me? No!” She laughed.“Although, I understand the basics of French,” she added.“You do?”“France is actually my dream vacation destination. I want to go there at least once in my life, and one time when I was so desperate about traveling there, I started learning it online and watching movies and podcasts from there.”“But you gave up?”“I had to. I felt like it was
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire placed her hand on her stomach as the fashion designer adjusted her dress from the back and she shook her head.“Am I doing my wedding again?” She asked the butler who burst into laughter.“That is the theme, Ma’am.”“A wedding dress?”“It’s not a wedding dress,” the woman laughed again.When the fashion designer moved back, Sapphire scanned herself in the mirror and then breathed out.She looked so breathtaking, she knew that.Her makeup was simple, yet extravagant. She was wearing a silver, ball, flowing dress which had diamond stones over it.She refused to remove the necklace Daniel gave her and insisted that the woman bend it to her dress which she did and she loved it too.Her hair was packed in a dough and a tiny bow was used to compliment her hair.“You are so beautiful! You could pass for a model!” The fashion designer complimented and she blushed.“Thank you.”“Mr. Daniel is waiting for you downstairs, are you ready?” The butler asked.==Daniel parted
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire drew her brows together as she felt Daniel’s fingertip dug roughly on her arm. His hand was curled around her but when the old man would not stop playing with his hair, she felt his muscle pull as he pressed his fingers on her arm which actually hurt.“Daniel,” she nudged him a bit and then glanced at her mother and father-in-law who only watched the man with shock still registered on their faces.Were they not aware that this man was having an effect on her husband?She glanced at her husband again and when she noticed the beads of sweat that had gathered massively on his face, she moved front while his hands were still tightly wrapped around her arm.“What are you doing, sir?!” She almost raised her voice as she abruptly moved the man’s hand from Daniel’s hair.“Oh?” he smirked rather mischievously.“What are you doing?”“I almost forgot my baby boy is married. Hi, little lady.”“I am Sapphire and he is Daniel, not a baby boy,” she snapped.She knew there was
AUTHOR’S POV.Liam walked outside the event hall and right outside, he saw Hilda who waited at a corner looking around like she was waiting for someone. When their eyes met, she waved her hand at him and he nodded his head.Liam did not know why but he found himself walking over to where she was standing and when he got there, he gave her a nervous smile and then nodded his head. “You came… was not expecting you.”“Yeah… same here,” she answered and then looked around again.“Are you waiting for someone?”“Ah, yeah. I’m waiting for Arlo.”“Oh, your boyfriend?” He raised his brows.“Arlo is not… my boyfriend,” she swallowed hard.“He’s not?” “He’s just a business partner and he wanted us to come to the event together. I have nothing to do with him, I promise,” she defended.Deeply, she wondered why she was saying all of this. He did not even ask her!“Oh, nice.”“You’re leaving?” She asked him and he nodded his head.“Yes. I gotta go.”Hilda nodded her head and Liam did the same too.
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire sighed lightly as Daniel’s lips crashed on hers. She had a billion questions she wished to ask about that man, but she was not able to ask even one. Everything was a jumbled mess as her body ignited in Daniel’s passionate kisses."Daniel," she whispered softly.He kissed her on the lips softly. "You don’t have to say another word to me, amore. You can’t imagine how much I want this and you."She groaned at that as she looked right at him. "You just don’t want to answer my unspoken questions.""Maybe," he admitted.She gave him a look and he kissed her in return. "You’re not going to deny it?""There is no need for such drama, and now, you talk too much, let me love you," he said softly.That was all it took to bring her back to the moment. Daniel’s lips were wet as he kissed her softly. She felt her nipple tickle his chest hair, and she couldn’t even think straight. It didn’t help that the water was leaking through her body into her sensitive spots, causing her
AUTHOR’S POV.“What do you mean by that?Sapphire drew her brows together as Daniel started.After they had finished making love together in the bathroom, they had their bath together, and then laid in the bed, naked.Sapphire was starting to feel comfortable around Daniel and she liked it.He was playing with her hair as her head was on his chest when he started.“I don’t remember anything from my childhood,” he repeated.It was taking everything in her to not raise her head to look at him but she felt like it was good this way.He probably does not want her to see the look on his face too.“I woke up one day and my parents were taking me to the hospital. I remember meeting a therapist.”“You don’t know why?”“I was young, so I could not ask.”“What happened? Did you ever try to know?”“Of course, I did. I don’t know, but I feel like there’s something pulling me back. I don’t know the truth, yet it scares me.”“That is…”“Since that day… when I was ten, I’ve been living wi
