WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! DANIEL’S WIFE.
SAPPHIRE'S POV.No matter how hard I had thought about it, that was my conclusion.I was not going to let go of Daniel and that was it.For once, I was going to be selfish.I did not like him, he did not like me too, and that was good.From the moment I knew that Emerald was dating Aidan, I decided to take everything from her also.Since I did not have what it takes to be like her, I could at least take her place in that house.The person I ought to return to after this was over was Aidan and that was no longer possible as he was off-limits. I would not return to a person like him, especially with the evidence I had seen.At least, it was better to stay with Daniel’s family. His parents liked me, his sister, and his friend. That was enough on my part. I would not want to return to this home to resume with the injustice.This was what I should have done from the start. Rebel.However, now that I could, I was not going to give up easily.“You are going to live as who?” He asked and sto
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! WHAT WAS MINE.
DANIEL’S POV.I was at work when I received a call from the driver I had designated for Sapphire whenever she wanted to go out.Even though she had never gone out on her own since she moved in, I knew a day was going to come when she would need to.I had ordered the man sternly to make sure to drive her and be on alert whenever she was going out.“Sir, I just brought Mrs. Preston to her family house,” he said as soon as I placed the phone in my ear.Finally, she visited her home. I had wondered if she was never going to visit her parents and now that she finally visited them, I nodded my head.“Fill me in on everything, and make sure to drive gently,” I said and ended the call.I had told him to update me on everything that might happen today, but what I was not expecting was for him to tell me that my wife looked pissed when she got out of her parents’ house.She did not even spend up to half an hour before she came out again and I thought that something was wrong.“You did not know
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! AN EYE FOR AN EYE.
AUTHOR’S POV.“What has come over your child? This is unlike her!” George, Sapphire’s father asked his wife as he paced around the room.The couple could swear that this was the first time they got such a reaction from Sapphire.She had always watched them do whatever they liked with her, but with what happened today, George knew that might never be the case again.“I… I don’t know either,” Charlotte shook her head.“You don’t know anything! You don’t always know! Are you not fed up with that life?!” He hollered as he pointed his finger accusingly at her.“I don’t know what has gone wrong either. You saw that she did not even let me touch her.”“That is because you did not do your job as a mother well! Because if you do, she would not treat you like that,” he accused.“Are you saying that, George?” Charlotte snapped her brows together and stood up.”“Have you ever done your job as her father too? Because if you do, she would have never insulted you that way,” she retorted.George exha
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! YOUR FAKE HUSBAND.
SAPPHIRE’S POV. “What do you mean?”My mouth trembled as Hilda said to me.A week had passed since I had visited my parents and I had not heard anything from them.I knew they ought to have called, but I also thought it was for the better that I had not heard from them.Maybe my threat worked on them and they assumed that Daniel was actually fond of me.The man that I have not even set my eyes on since that day.Earlier in the morning, I texted Daniel and told him I was visiting a friend since I assumed that he was not pleased that I went to my parents without informing him first.He did not reply, yet it was marked as read.What a snub.“The audition has been canceled,” she repeated.The upcoming audition was what I had been anticipating since forever and Hilda announcing to me right now was definitely not what I needed to hear at the moment.“What? It is coming up next month. How could they cancel it that way?” I frowned.“I don’t know why. I got the mail last night.”She was in ch
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! JUST MY WIFE.
DANIEL’S POV.I raised my head as I heard a soft knock on the door of my office and when the door pushed open, I beaded my brows and watched the woman who entered the office with Alfredo, my informant.“Sir,” he stopped in front of me with a middle-aged woman.“Here is she, the head maid of the Rodriguez family,” he added and my lips tugged gently into a smile.Because my detective instinct would not let me rest, I knew I was going to do everything to know the truth about what goes on in that house.“Good day, Mr. Preston,” she bowed slightly and I nodded my head.“Please, have your seat over there. I will join you in a jiffy,” I pointed at the chair across the office and watched as she turned around.“Well done,” I said to the man and he bowed before me before he walked away.____“I hope you do not mind that I call for you today,” I said as I dropped the fresh juice that I got from the machine in front of her and settled on the single couch opposite her.“Not at all, sir. I am extrem
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! OBSESSION OR GREED…
AUTHOR’S POV.When Daniel found out that Sapphire was aspiring to be a model, he frowned at the idea. Not that he did not support her dream, but he would never sit still and watch his wife take on a ridiculous job.He knows little about the profession and the little he knew was not pleasing.He would not sit still while his wife paraded in front of the hungry eyes just because she was seeking verification from them or whatever.Realizing that he was the major supporter of the audition, he pulled out immediately without thinking twice knowing fully well that they might have no other choice but to cancel it.Daniel knew that this was going to hurt his wife, but he hoped she would let go soon and move on to something else.He would do anything for her, but not this.—“What are you saying?” Daniel snapped his brows the moment he heard what Sapphire said and he raised his head to look at her.It was a Sunday and he had decided to stay back at home. He was in his office in the house when s
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! MY SLEEPING WIFE.
DANIEL’S POV.As I descended the stairs, I tried to listen to the women's conversations. It was evident the two of them were bickering and I could only wonder what was wrong.However, when Sapphire’s palm landed on Kira’s cheek, I stopped walking and frowned at the scene.“I warned you to shut your mouth!” Sapphire hollered and slapped her again.I don’t know what was more shocking. Sapphire slapping Kira or SAPPHIRE SLAPPING KIRA.I knew the woman had quite a bad temper, but what I did not know was that she could do this too.When she turned around and her eyes fell on me, I watched her stand still in her position before she finally composed herself and walked towards me.As she prepared to walk past me, I grabbed her wrist and turned to look at her. “What happened?”“Before you pick sides, I would advise you to ask her what happened. Don’t anger me more,” she said and tried to snatch her hand away.“But I am asking you,” I said, not letting go of her.“Ask her!” She snapped and wrig
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! AMORE.
DANIEL’S POV.“Are you okay?!”The moment I entered the house, I rushed to Sapphire’s room and asked while I panted heavily.She tore her gaze from the television and turned to look at me. She was sitting in the middle of the bed, and barging into her room was definitely not what she was expecting.I scanned her body and when I realized that she was wearing the exact clothes in the picture that was sent to me, I breathed heavily.That picture was taken today, and that realization indeed scared me.“I should be asking you that. What are you doing?” She snapped her brows together and pulled the duvet to cover her thigh.“I… I have been calling you. Are you okay? Did anything happen to you? Did you see anyone? Did anyone…”I stopped bombarding her with questions when she pinned her eyes on mine. She glared at me in disgust and I breathed out.I should have been rational, at least.Rushing to her should not have been the next step.After all, I knew for a fact that this person could never

WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! EPILOGUE.
“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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! THAT LIFE.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! EXTRAVAGANT PARTY.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! YOUR HIGNESS.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! LETTING GO.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! PERFECT.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! THE HELL THAT IS YET TO COME.
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
WHERE IS MY BRIDE?! NOT BY FAMILY.
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
