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
