I woke up as early as usual the next morning and then turned around to look at Emerald who was sleeping quite soundly for a person who slept on the floor.She could definitely sleep underwater.I did my morning business in the bathroom, dressed into a casual fit and as I was about to leave the room, I shook my head as I watched her sleep.It would not hurt if I woke her up to go to the bed, would it?I bent beside her and called her name gently. When she didn’t answer, I shook my head and looked at her face.This face was so opposite to her attitude whenever she was not sleeping.Right now, she looked so peaceful that anyone would assume she was as peaceful during the day.“You are a very stupid person and I hope you know that!” It took every bit of energy in me to not laugh at her pained, bittered word and kept mute till she was finally silent and probably asleep.There was no dull moment with this woman as she was so easy to tease and make fun of. She takes everything so seriously
I fluttered my eyes when I heard his last word and fondled my hand. I don’t have a choice?Does he need me to show him that I do have a choice?At times, I wonder how little this man thought of me to have said some words to me.If he knew I was Sapphire… if he knew how I was being treated in that house, then the disdain would be more than this.“You think?” I finally raised a brow as I stared at him intensely.“Dear wife, you have got no choice. When we get out there, I would advise you to stay on your best behavior and go with the flow. I do not want to hurt you,” he said and I sneered evidently at his words.“You do not want to hurt me? How much could you possibly hurt me? Would you hit me? Would you slap me hard across the face and…”“Don’t get on my nerves,” he cut me short.“I will do whatever I want and I do not need you to tell me what to do and what I should not do,” I said.“Emerald, you know what happens when you break the contract,” he said and rubbed his forehead.He looke
“I thought you wanted a kiss as you would not stop staring at my lips,” I moved away from her and stood upright after her outburst.Her face had turned red and I did not know if it was because of embarrassment or because she liked it.It was definitely not the latter.She looked like she was going to slap me across the face out of annoyance and I was prepared for it.Even though she was very easy to tease, she had quite a foul temper too.“Let’s go,” I finally said and resumed walking.It was after I took a few steps before she started to walk behind me.I walked slowly for her to meet with my pace and when she did I looked at her and she looked away hurriedly.“Don’t tell me you’re taking that seriously. It is just a kiss, wife,” I teased again and she threw her head in my direction.“Just a kiss?”“Is it not?” I raised a brow.“Whatever.”“Emerald,” I called and she didn’t answer me.Seems like my wife is mad at me.==As the party went on and Emerald and I had greeted almost everyo
EPISODE 21. I WILL HURT YOU.It was not something I had wanted to notice but I did eventually. Emerald has a pair of hazel eyes but right now, I was staring at something different.The pair of eyes I was staring at was almost familiar but yet very different.Those eyes fall between yellow… orange… and gold on the color wheel.I placed my hand on her chin and raised it slowly just to stare at it again. Her eyes were definitely different.She frowned and then moved away from me gently.“What are you doing?”“I should be asking you the same. What are you up to?” I asked.I don’t know if that was the perfect question I should have asked but I asked either way.Deep down, I had always thought that she was different and might as well be another person or perhaps had a personality disorder, but staring right at her now, I thought I might be right.“You are not her,” I said in a whisper and she shook her brows.“I am not who?”“You are not Emerald, are you? You are not the woman I was su
The moment I got behind the closed door, I allowed the wave of shivering that had been waiting to take over me to finally take over. My legs weakened. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hand. When Magdalene had prepared to go to the grocery store, I offered to follow her as I was bored. I’ve been here for a week and I don’t think I have ever been bored my whole life. After the party that night, Daniel had left without a word and even Magy did not know when he was going to return. I didn’t see the need to use my lenses. I mean, he has not been home for three days and he was mainly the reason I was using it. It did not even seem like the woman was aware of it or anything. Entering the room and meeting Daniel had to be one of the most extreme jumpscares I had ever received in my entire life. I began to palpitate as my hands shook. However, when he finally mentioned it, I thought I was going to enter the ground because of the fear I was feeling. Yet, I stood on my ground.
At first, I was going to assume that she was his little sister. I mean, she looked like it. I was not sure of her age, but I knew I was older than her.However, when she gave me that look after she kissed him on the cheek, I knew that might not be the case.Finally, my eyes fell on the group of women who bowed as we entered and looked away again. Such gestures make me uncomfortable… so much.“I missed you so much that I thought I was going to die,” she said.Daniel grinned and caressed her hair. “You didn't die, thankfully.”“You think?” She pouted as they walked further into the room together.“I did not ask you to miss my wedding,” he said.She stopped walking and looked at me again. I raised a brow as I watched her look at me.“That’s right. She is your wife,” she sneered.“You truly got married,” she added, not tearing her eyes off me.I did not know what this look meant. However, one thing was certain. This lady did not like me.Daniel moved away from her and walked to the stair
I took a step back and swept my hair to the back, my chest rising, and falling.I needed help, because how on earth would I think that this man was attractive?It was as if he could read my mind. I knew he could see through me so I always tried to not react to anything he did or said to me.The way he looked at me whenever he talked was proof on its own. He wanted me to accept finding him attractive even if it was just by looking at me.“Did you find me sexually attractive right now, wife?”I finally collected myself and forced a laugh, “Find you attractive?! Please, don’t make me laugh!” “Am I wrong then? You do not find me attractive?” He asked and took a step towards me.“Stay back and get some fucking cloth on!” I pointed my index finger at him like I was warning him to not come any closer.He shook his head and turned around. As he walked to the bed, my eyes would not leave his body.He stopped beside the bed, picked the polo that was lying on it, and wore it.“Why did you enter
I curled my fist into a tight ball as I watched Emerald as she talked. I do not hit women, but I would not have hesitated to slap the words off her mouth.She was going to cheat too?She literally just did an open challenge and it pissed me off so much.She was going to sleep around because I do too? What effrontery! What made her think she could do such a thing?She bore her Amber eyes into mine after she finished talking and I did the same.She had stopped using the lenses since that time and I actually think these eyes were better.She looked innocent… and so naive. Not anymore.I always knew she was a slut who was just pretending to have memory problems or something.First, she was acting like she would pull up with whatever I wanted just because she wanted to marry me.If she was not okay with them, why had she accepted to do all those?It should not be my place either she fucks around?How dare she think she could do such a thing?Had she forgotten who she was married to?DANI

“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
