AUTHOR’S POV.When Daniel came out of the bathroom, he raised his brows as he stared at Sapphire who gave him a cold glare as if she had been waiting for a while for him to come out.“What? You said you did not want to enter the bathroom together. Did you change your mind now that I am done?” He asked with a chuckle.He had tried all he could to persuade her earlier in the bathroom but she had refused adamantly.What a stubborn woman!“What is this?” She snapped as she touched her neck.Daniel moved closer to her and then stared at the multiple hickeys on her neck and he burst into laughter.“I guess that is me marking my territory,” he said amidst laughter.“It’s not funny. I have to wear a turtleneck or something today!”“Come on, Amore. You practically moaned when I kissed your neck so you enjoyed it, no? You did not have an issue with it then, so why now?” He asked, trying to hide his laughter.“What are you saying?” She frowned.“Amore, want me to remind you how yesterday went?”
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel stared at the woman who walked over to the cushioned chair and settled on it before he burst into laughter. A dark one.“You want to be everything I need in a woman and more?” He asked as he stared at her while he crossed her legs and leaned back comfortably.“I am it already. Everything you need in a woman and more. I am that woman,” she twitched her mouth.Daniel exhaled and nodded his head. He leaned back and clasped his hands together. “Would you leave on your own or do you need me to call the securities on you?”“You can’t do that, Logan. We have a lot to talk about,” Emerald shook her head.“I am not in for your trashy talks, I hope you know that.”“It’s not trashy. You’re going to like it. You have to listen to me and you can never go wrong with it.Daniel took in his lower lips for a while and sucked it before he finally stood up.He walked over to her and sat on the single chair that was quite away from her and then scanned her face.Now that he was seein
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.

“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
