AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire hurriedly wiped off the tears that fell off her face and sniffed hard.Daniel had just narrated everything that had happened to him and she could swear that she did not see it coming. She stood from where she sat, moved closer to her, and wrapped her arm around his neck.Daniel raised his head and then placed it on Sapphire’s naked stomach while he wrapped his arms around her waist. She was wearing only pants and a bra so he could feel the warmness of her body.He inhaled her strawberry scent as he closed his eyes.He thought it was going to weigh him down a lot but somehow, only the presence of his wife was enough to soothe him.When he felt her fingertips trailing through his hair, he groaned and pulled her closer to himself.He was glad for the gift of Sapphire.He was glad for the gift of this woman.Again, he was scared she had become his weakness… and strength.With her, he knew he could do anything. He knew he could overcome anything.Without her, Daniel
AUTHOR’S POV. “What’s wrong?” Hilda asked Sapphire after a while of totally spacing out. Sapphire jerked back and swallowed hard, “Ah… nothing,” she shook her head, pressed the home button of her phone, and then returned it to the nightstand. “Unless you want him dead, do not heed my instructions.” She had no idea why those words were bothering her and she could only imagine on her own. She soon let go of her thoughts and then returned to talking to Hilda. “What’s your plan for the weekend? Let’s hang out,” she said. “I am going to meet Liam's mum with him on Sunday.” “His mum?” “Her grave site. He said he wants to show me to her,” she grinned. Sapphire smiled and then nodded her head. “I’m glad your perspective about relationships has changed anyway.” “It’s always been the same. Nothing changed,” Hilda shook her head and Sapphire smacked her tongue. “Little liar.” After Hilda left, which remained only her in the room, she breathed out as boredom started to set in. The
AUTHOR’S POV.“It’s fine, I will go alone,” Sapphire said.The driver, John, shook his head and bowed gently, “I’m sorry ma’am, but I have to take you wherever you are going,” he said.Sapphire smacked her tongue, moved closer to him, and collected the key from him, “You know Daniel would not mind. I can always tell him it’s me who wanted it,” she said and moved to the car.She was bored at home and planned on going to Daniel’s company, and then probably get something at the mall later.That was enough to kill her boredom.==The man stared at the woman in the car before she rolled up the window of the car. He hurriedly picked up his phone and then beckoned to the other guys in the car.“She just left the house,” he announced.“Alone?” Emerald asked from the other end.“Yes, ma’am, she was in the driver’s seat,” he answered.“Good, proceed. Trail her carefully and don’t make any mistakes, okay?”The man dropped the call, ignited the engine, and then drove gently after her car.===Sap
AUTHOR’S POV.Emerald stared down at Sapphire in disgust after she had pulled off her clothes leaving only pants and a bra on her.She wished she could strangle her and put an end to everything, but she knew she dared not.Apart from fulfilling her part of the deal, it could get her in trouble too.Later, Aidan would come here and then do whatever he wanted with her too.Now, it was time she started her own business.She moved away from Sapphire, pulled off her clothes, and then proceeded to wear Sapphire’s.Deeply, Emerald thanked her stars that the dress had a rope for adjusting from behind, else, it would have been evident as the cloth looked a bit big for her.She adjusted the cloth to her size with the rope and when she was done, she removed the wipes from her bag and began to clean her makeup off.Sapphire was wearing no makeup and she needed to be her completely.When she was done, she applied the contact lenses in her eyes, took off Sapphire’s shoe, and then wore it.Now that
AUTHOR’S POV.“What are you insinuating? Are you saying I am fake? Me, your wife?!” Emerald snapped in annoyance.Fake annoyance though.How could her cover blow so quickly again?How did he find out?She was wearing everything that belonged to Sapphire so how did he catch on again?What does Sapphire have that she doesn’t?!“Where is my wife?” Daniel asked her again.“I want you to know that it is enough. If this is a joke, stop it. I am not in a good mood.”Daniel pressed his lips together, covered the space between them, and then dropped his hand on her head. Instantly, he pulled off the towel from her head and then watched her hair fall over her shoulder.His lips tugged in a cold, dark smile as he stared at the hair.Sapphire hair was longer.“I trimmed my hair earlier,” she said hurriedly.He had not even asked her.“I will ask for the last time, Emerald. You don’t want to see another side of me, I promise. Where is Sapphire?”“I am your wife. I am Sapphire and I…” she was still
AUTHOR’S POV.“What do you mean by he did not touch you?” Daniel frowned.Sapphire pressed her lips together and turned to look at Emerald who stood in a corner of the room silently.The urge to move over to her and slap her across her face was so hard that she only sighed.#FLASHBACK#“You abducted me?!”Aidan parted her lips and breathed out. “Chill, Sapphire. Chill,” he smiled at her instead, to the disgust of Sapphire.“You are smiling?”Aidan shook his head, moved over to the floor where Emerald’s cloth was lying, and turned to give it to Sapphire.“Put this on,” he said and turned his back to her.Sapphire glared at his backside for a while before she dumped the jacket on the floor and then wore the dress.After she was done, she moved over to Aidan and grabbed his arm to face her.“What is going on? Did you send those men?!”“I am sorry, Sapphire. I am truly sorry.”“Sorry? That’s all you gotta say? You abducted me and all you can…”“It was not me! It was Emerald!” He cut her s
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel dropped his phone and hurried after Sapphire who dashed to the bathroom. “Babe?” He leaned down and patted her back as she knelt by the water closet and vomited in it.He kept stroking her back till she raised her head and then took a bowl of water and then rinsed her face with it.He pulled her up gently and then carried her up in his arms when he saw how weak she looked and then carried her out of the bathroom.Sapphire buried her face in his neck till her back touched the soft mattress and then lay on it while Daniel pulled the duvet on her.“Are you okay?” He asked as he caressed her cheek.“God, no,” Sapphire moaned.“Sorry. Do you want to eat now? You’ve not had anything since morning,” he said, worry evident on his face.“Not yet,” she shook her head.“Nothing? Not even fruit or anything?” He asked.“I’m going to vomit it all so what’s the point,” she frowned.“Still, you gotta eat something so that you will…”“I am fine,” she cut him short with a his
AUTHOR’S POV. Sapphire inhaled and exhaled in fear as she read the sentence and then exited it hurriedly. She went to her call log, clicked on Daniel’s number, and then called him. It kept ringing for a while before he finally picked up the call. “Daniel!” “What’s wrong, babe?” He asked. “Come home.” “What?” “Come home, right now. Leave where you are. Don’t drink or eat anything there and come home now! I… I need you!” She cried. “Sapphire, calm…” “Please, come home…” she burst into tears. She heard the creaking sound of the chair and then he spoke up again. “I’m on my way. Right now.” Sapphire dropped the call and watched the video again. She kept crying as she watched it and almost immediately, a call came in and she picked it up. A low, thunderous smile came up as she placed the phone on her head and she breathed out gently. It was the anonymous person. “You must have been scared to death seeing how he rushed out of there,” they said amidst laughter. “W… why are you do

“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
