AUTHOR’S POV.

Sapphire felt her heart rising and falling, it was as if it was going to fall off her chest.

She does not know what scares her more. The fact that Aidan, HER OWN BOYFRIEND, had access to her or might know Emerald, or the fact that she was finally hearing his voice after three weeks.

She pursed her lips together and exhaled. Why had he called? What should she say to him?

Does he know already?

That was practically not possible.

Even Daniel does not know, so how could he?

“Yes?” Her voice came out hoarsely and she swallowed the lump in her throat.

“Did you remember me? We met a couple of months ago at the event that our company had hosted and we exchanged numbers,” he said and Sapphire frowned.

Aidan and Emerald met?

Aidan never told her and this was coming to her as a shock.

“Huh… I am sorry, but… I— I don't remember… you know I met a lot of people there and…”

She was not sure what to say.

What if there was no event and Aidan was doing this because he had probably caught o

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   THE MADAM.

    DANIEL’S POV.I had waited for a while before I knocked on the door. I knew she was on the call with someone and I didn’t want to disturb that, however, it was taking too long and I knew I had to enter already.At first, I had turned the knob of the door but when I noticed the door was locked from inside, I shook my head and then knocked.I was going to pay her back. Walking in on her while she walked out of the bathroom like before or while she was naked was going to be so fun but disappointment soon rushed me when the door was locked.I heard her stop talking and then waited patiently for the door to open. The door opened finally and I stared at her face carefully and then teased her.“Were you talking to your boyfriend?” My eyes rose as I watched her reaction after I had told her that I would be offended if she was talking to her boyfriend.I had only said that, I didn’t know this woman’s expression was going to give her away like that.“What boyfriend? I was talking to my friend,”

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   MY WIFE AND I.

    DANIEL’S POV.If what happened two years ago should ever happen again. Then, forever, I would never find peace.I tried as much as I could… I acted as if it was okay, but deep down, I knew it was not.The only thing that kept me going was the fact that she did not die that day and was already living her life elsewhere… without these watching eyes.I exhaled deeply, returned the picture and note in the box, then strolled across the room.I pushed the door that would almost be mistaken for a wall open and then entered the room that was behind the door.I looked around the room and shook my head slightly.Inside this room, was almost everything that I had received from this anonymous sender. Now that I think of it, I have received a lot from this person over the past few years.Frames, mugs, letters, dead rats, pig’s blood… and many more.Because I couldn’t keep dead rats and pig’s blood here, I had taken pictures of them the moment I had received them and printed them out.I don’t know

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   HIS MISTRESS.

    SAPPHIRE’S POV.It was shortly after breakfast and I had just returned to my room when I heard a knock on my door.Was it Daniel? I wondered as I walked to the door.It’s been two days since I last saw him and it was as if we’ve both been avoiding each other on purpose. After he had left my room that day, I had not seen him and had only watched his car leave the compound through my window.I made sure to eat dinner after he had left the dining room and made sure I had breakfast whenever he was out of the house.I did not like this, still, I appreciated it.Talking to the man has always done one thing to me and that was anger. Every time.I finally pushed the door open and found the butler who I still do not know her name standing outside my room, her head slightly bowed.“Hi,” I waved my hand at her.I watched closely as she raised her head gently, looked both sides hurriedly, and turned to look at me back. “Hi,” she waved right back and a smile tugged on her lips.This woman has bee

    SAPPHIRE’S POV.“Ma’am,” they chorused in a low voice.“I thought it hard and thoroughly why some bosses are so strict on their workers… I wondered why my husband restricted you all to not communicating with each other and I get it now… I mean, it is all so clear now,” I started, making sure I looked at least intimidating.I can’t appear weak in front of these people who just mocked me.It was going to be like I just agreed to whatever they said.“I thought I needed to be different. I wanted to be, but… this? I do not beg any of you to see me in a good light, but how dare you…!” My voice raised and I pressed my lips together hurriedly.I hated drama so much.I turned to look at the butler who appeared in my sight and I looked away from her.“How dare you disrespect me in such a manner? What temerity?!” I hollered and watched them as they kept their heads bowed.“It is fine if you have your opinions. To each man their own, they say. However, standing here… and belittling me this way s

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   AM I A BABY?

    SAPPHIRE’S POV.“Right?” I faked a laugh and nodded my head at her.She covered the space between us and curled her arm in mine, flashing me a smile.“Oh, my. Why did you use lenses? These eyes don't suit you! Makes you look like Sapph…”“Can we talk elsewhere?” I cut her short hurriedly and pulled her with me.“What is wrong, Emerald?” She frowned as we stopped at a corner away from the others.“I just thought we should talk where it is just us. You don’t like it?” I asked nervously.I had never imagined that I was going to meet her acquaintances.I never did and that was because I believed there was no way I would meet them.“Of course, it’s awesome! Goodness, you should get these lenses off your eyes. I keep thinking I am seeing your twin sister,” she grunted and I forced a laugh.“By the way, why did you suddenly cut out our invitation to your wedding? I thought it was just me but a few of our friends said they were not allowed in either,” she said and I hiccupped unconsciously.T

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   I AM TIRED.

    SAPPHIRE’S POV.I know that man did not like me.He, in fact, makes it so obvious.So, him looking out for me, wanting me to get new dresses, and doing all these was nothing but confusion on my end.What was he doing exactly?After a while of sitting in the air-conditioned room, a few women entered with a tray in their hand and they strolled to where I was sitting.They served me the dessert and fruit juice and stood in front of me, waiting for me to dig in.This was uncomfortable.I thought.I pressed my lips together, picked up the fork, and then raised my head to look at the people who were watching me closely.As if the eyes of the maids back at home were not enough. This was definitely not needed again.I began to eat… After all, I have got no choice.==I could definitely swear that the time spent at the boutique had to be the most stressful day ever.I did not even go through such stress on the wedding dress fitting.It was not as if I was moving around, shopping, but that woul

  • WHERE IS MY BRIDE?!   SAPPHIRE, THE TWIN.

    DANIEL’S POV.“What do you want me to do then?” I frowned at the woman who stood in front of me.This woman loved to nitpick things so much and I wonder if she knew that about herself.Today was quite stressful as I did a lot and met with a lot of people. This woman nagging me was definitely not what I needed next.It was not like she was the only one tired. I was too. And again, who gets tired of shopping?It was literally what every woman looked forward to.“Besides, I texted you early to inform you. It is you who wasted time shopping,” I told her with irritation on my face and then watched a frown gather on her face.“So what if you texted to tell me that? Do you think I had a choice about going shopping? It was your idea! I did not even approve of it!” She snapped and I almost flinched in my seat.She was too loud.Did she not know that?“You think I would sit still while you go around in clothes that clearly do not size you? Unless you are blind, I am sure you know that much,” I

    DANIEL’S POV.As the car drove out of the mansion, I glanced at Emerald… Sapphire. She is Sapphire and the other name would not stop popping out of my mouth.I looked at her as she looked out of the window, awing the atmosphere. She liked night drives and it was evident on her face right now.I took in my lower lips, sucked it gently, and tore my eyes away from her.I have been living with another person for almost one month. No, I married someone else.At first, it was as if I was the one with mental issues, it was as if I was running crazy when the thought that Emerald was different would not stop popping into my head.I tried my best. I tried all I could to get this thought out of my head. I did not want to doubt this person I had just married but that was impossible as everything kept clashing against each other.The Emerald I had met that day… The Emerald I had met on the first day, was definitely nothing like this woman, Sapphire.It is not my fault I was able to be fooled that

    “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

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

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
