DANIEL’S POV.I did not bother hiding the smile on my face as I scooted to the side for Sapphire to enter.I closed the door behind me and watched her as she moaned in satisfaction and then collapsed on the bed. She definitely must have forgotten that I was looking at her.The previous night, it had taken everything in me to not finally succumb to the woman.It got to a point in the middle of the night when I started telling myself that I better let her have her way.When I came to the living room to cover her with a duvet, I had sat on the couch across from her till dawn before I hurriedly returned to my room.Because of her, I had not taken a wink of sleep. There was no way I could when I knew that she was alone in the cold room.I had hoped that she would give in and if she did not, I knew I was going to give up and return her stuff to her room.For a person who vowed deeply last night, I did not expect to see my wife in the morning, looking like a stray dog.She finally got up fr
AUTHOR’S POV.“Were you eavesdropping?” Daniel snapped his brows together, pretending to be angry.“So, what if I was? Again, I was there since and you’re not expecting me to leave the room because you want to make calls, do you? That is what you get for insisting that we share a room.”Daniel parted his lips and exhaled. Gone are those days when his wife was scared of him.It was not like she was exactly scared.She had never been, she always said whatever she wanted to, but now, it just seemed like she had upgraded and would not mind whatever she said.Yes, this was what he would be getting for insisting they share a room.“Still, you should…”“I know you were talking about me and Aidan. What is wrong? Are you still digging?”“Digging on what?” He asked, feigning ignorance.“You know what I am talking about!”“It’s nothing deep, no need to be mad. I just wanted to know what he was up to,” he shrugged his shoulders off and stood up.“That man is threatening you. Why are you not sayin
DANIEL’S POV.I felt my lips twitch upwards and my cheek flushed.I don’t know why she said those words.‘I could not have asked for a better husband.’ But it made me quite happy that at least… for once, she liked that I was her husband.I wrapped my arm tightly around her waist and snuggled her closer. While I inhaled her strawberry scent, I heard her mutter in my ear and I listened.“You might not know, but this… taking my side might actually be the kindest gesture another person has shown me.”“It has always been me. And my best friend whom I know wanted the best for me but could not do beyond her power. You… you don’t know how happy you made me.”Sapphire saying this to me was not a sight or word I would ever expect from her.Apart from the fact that she was so cold to me, she made sure to never depict herself to me.This was not something that I had imagined would ever happen and now that it was happening, I felt like never letting her get away from my arms.She finally disentangl
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel fluttered his eyes open as he felt the unusual position he was in.He snapped his eyes open as he saw the woman sleeping peacefully beside him. Her leg was on his legs and her head was on his shoulder.His hand was on her waist and the thought that they had slept like this actually excited him a bit.He stared at her long lashes, and then her lips again. As he wondered how cute a person could be, he remembered their fight the previous night.The previous night, they had fought for about thirty minutes before they finally slept.She was a fan of sleeping with lights on, and he was not.Given the situation she grew up in, she hated being alone and in the dark and Daniel was the opposite.When it was time to sleep, the man switched off the light and Sapphire switched it on again.This caused arguments between the two before they finally settled for the lamp on the nightstand beside Sapphire’s side of the bed.Before they slept again, he had watched as she had dramati
SAPPHIRE’S POV.I sat in silence beside Daniel in the car and even though I felt his eyes on me, I did not say anything and only looked out of the window.“What is bugging you? You have not said a word since earlier,” he finally asked.I turned my head to look at him and then shook my head.Ever since I had gotten the message from the anonymous person, I had not said anything since then. Even when it was time to dress up, I walked to the closet to dress there instead of nagging him to leave the room.I knew it was evident, but I could not control it.SOMEONE WAS STALKING US!There was no way I would be cool about that.In fact, the gift this person had mentioned had been holding me on edge.I could not help but wonder what this person was trying to send again.What was it going to be this time around?A dead person?“Are you sure? You don’t look like it though,” he said again.“I am fine, Daniel,” I answered curtly and looked away again.“Well, if you say so. I hope you will let me k
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“I was just starting it over when he called me to turn it in. I don’t know what to tell him. God!” “Hold on, it’s just a project, right? You can do it again, can’t you?” I finally butted in and they both turned to look at me.“Just a project?” She creased her brows and palmed her forehead.“I should not be surprised that this is coming from a person like you, but I would really appreciate it if you would just stay out of this!” She retorted angrily.“A person like me?” “Come on, Tina. She just asked a question. You should not attack her that way.”“Yes, a person like you!” She ignored Jay and said to me.“You have no idea how much effort I have spent in doing that project since last month, and you don’t know what would become of me if your husband finds out!”“Okay, I will not get offended by that. But, can’t you just let him know what is going on instead of… panicking like this? I understand that it costs you time and effort, but it is not your fault it got stolen t
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel swallowed deeply as he stared at the woman who gave him a puppy look as she blinked her eyes passionately.He took a glance at his workers who all bowed their heads in terror at his sight and he twitched his mouth upward.He exhaled as his eyes dropped on Tina who was on her knees, crying, and he wriggled his hand freely from Sapphire’s.“I’m giving you one week to…”“Two weeks,” Sapphire cut him short hurriedly and took his hand again.“There is not much time, Sapphire,” he said sharply, yet gently.“I bet you can find the time. Two weeks, please. It’s going to take a while, I believe,” she said.Daniel breathed out and closed his eyes for a few seconds. “Turn it in in two weeks,” he said, as he snatched his hand from Sapphire and walked away.“Thank youuuuu,” Sapphire drawled as she squealed in excitement.She watched Daniel walk away as she joined her hands together and rested her chin on it.Who says her husband was cruel?He was indeed the best.She grabbed t
AUTHOR’S POV.“I… I don’t drink alcohol,” Sapphire stuttered and shook her head as one of the team members handed a glass of drink to her while they were at the team dinner.“No, don’t be boring, please!” Tina exclaimed, snatched the drink from the man, and gave it to Sapphire who collected it unwillingly.“One shot…” Jay hit the table gently as he drawled and the rest joined him.“One shot! One shot! One shot!”Sapphire closed her eyes shut and gulped down the drink immediately. “Fuck, this tastes so horrible!” She snorted in irritation and everyone laughed.“Let’s spin the bottle, everyone!” Tina banged the table and Sapphire creased her brows.“Game of truth is the first game we play on team dinners. So, we spin the bottle and whoever it stops at is answering a question. Failure to do so is drinking two shots of drink,” Tina stated and Sapphire nodded her head.It was not like the game was foreign to her, but two shots of drink? She barely just drank that one and her throat still

“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
