AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire’s face lit up as she saw Hilda who walked towards her and she waved her hands at her in excitement.“Hilda!” She squealed in excitement.“How… you…”“I invited her,” Daniel whispered in Sapphire's ear.“Really? You did not tell me!”Daniel shrugged his shoulder and then moved closer to his sister who stood by the entrance, welcoming her guests in.He had deliberately invited her because he hoped she and Liam would meet again.Liam had kept mute regarding whatever might have happened between them and he hoped it would get resolved.No lady had ever succeeded in shaking Liam up the way Hilda did, and he found that very fun!Sapphire and Hilda spoke for a while before Daniel moved back to them and beckoned to her that it was time to go inside.“Let’s go inside,” she mouthed to Hilda as she dropped her palm on Daniel’s palm.They were about to leave when their eyes caught the sight of the couple that just entered and Sapphire breathed out.“Oh, my princess!” George
AUTHOR’S POV.“What are you talking about?” George feigned ignorance.Alice leaned back and then beckoned to the waiter to come to her. When the man got there, she took a glass of champagne and then sipped it gently before she dropped it again.“I was not going to talk yet. I mean, I wanted Sapphire to tell me first, but… I hate your gut, George.”“What? Me?” Sapphire’s father frowned and pointed his hand on his chest.“Hold on, you planned on switching them again? You want your eldest daughter to take Sapphire’s place and live as Daniel’s wife like nothing happened?”“I don’t understand what you are talking about at all. You are…”“On the sixteenth of March of this year, around 2:45 PM, Emerald got into an accident and slipped into comatose. On the nineteenth of March, she married Daniel. How is that possible?”“I…it’s… you are mistaken.”“You forced your daughter to replace Emerald. And now that she is awake, you want them to switch places back? You are insane,” Alice burst into lau
AUTHOR’S POV.“Did something happen?“ Hilda muttered to herself as she watched everyone disperse and then exhaled.It was obvious that Sapphire and Daniel had gone after Daniel’s parents who seemed to have left in anger, so she knew she had to wait till later when she could ask her what was wrong.She took a glance at Liam who browsed through his phone and ignored her totally.The man had not said a single word to her and she hated the silent treatment.Things like this do not usually bother her, but why does she hate it so much now that he was doing it to her?He did not even look at her!She continued to contemplate if she should talk to the man first or just let him be.When she could not take it any longer, she clasped her hands together and parted her lips to talk when his phone beeped and he picked it up almost immediately.She watched as she talked to the person on the phone for a while while he still kept a straight face and she kept playing with her hands.“Hi,” she said when
AUTHOR’S POV.“Liam!” Hilda exclaimed as she finally caught up with the man and panted.She had been following him and calling out his name since she was out of the premises and she could swear that he knew she was following.“What’s wrong with you?” She snapped her brows together as she stood upright.She adjusted her dress and stared at the man who only looked at her.“What do you mean? I should be asking you the same, don’t you think?”“You knew I was after you.”“I believe we have finished talking,” he said rather emotionlessly.How could he change towards her in that short period of time? Was it because of what she said?Was that so wrong?She should be the one giving this attitude, no?“Liam, why are you acting this way? Why are you being immature?”“Immature, you say?” Liam scoffed and chuckled.“I am acting immature now that I am letting you be?”“Why are you letting me be? I never asked that from you!” She retorted.“What exactly do you want from me? I don’t understand why yo
AUTHOR’S POV.Emerald sat in the back seat in silence beside her mother and then took a glance at her father who sat in the owner’s seat beside the driver.Tonight was so fucked up that she felt like if she said a word, she was going to misspeak.When she felt her mother’s hand cover her hand, she smacked her tongue and turned to the woman who stared at her.“It is fine,” Charlotte whispered to her.Emerald hissed and then moved her hand from her mother’s hand.“It is fine?” She scoffed and then threw her face out the window.“Emerald, you need to…”“Everything just went down the drain before our very eyes and that’s all you can say? It is fine? Why is everything always okay with you? Why do you always watch and agree with everything? Are you a fool?!” She screamed in annoyance.“I am sorry.”“Mum, please! Can you not say anything tonight? You kept mute throughout the gathering there, so what makes you think you can say anything now? Just shut up, please!” She hollered.Charlotte exha
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel went down on one knee as he pulled Sapphire's legs down on his thigh, pecking her ankles lightly. He still couldn’t believe that she was agreeing to be his in all totality. Sapphire was the best thing to ever happen in his life, and he loved her as hard as ever, knowing that it was never going to change."I want you so hard that it hurts," he said softly.She smiled at him as she slowly, her fingers grazed his hair lightly. "Would you spend so much time talking?" She teased instead.He laughed at that, and then softly placed her leg down as he took hold of her right hand, pecking it softly. "I’m just savoring my time."Just like that, he rose to his feet, gently scooping Sapphire into his hands. He looked into her angelic face, loving the way her long, dark hair played with his hands. It was beyond beautiful and he couldn’t just get enough of it. "You’re beautiful," he breathed.Her eyes moistened in pleasure. "Say it again," she pleaded.He grinned as he cupped
AUTHOR’S POV. “Are you okay?” Daniel asked Sapphire in a whisper while her head was on his arm and was still in bed. She nodded her head gently and he slowly moved his hand, kissed her cheek, and then stood up. Flustered, Sapphire looked away from his naked body, and when Daniel noticed that, he only smiled and headed to the bathroom. Shortly after he had entered, Sapphire breathed out and covered her face with her palm. She loved every bit of the sex that she had with her husband and even though her down there still stings a little, she knew it was worth it. She pulled the blanket closer to herself, and when her eyes caught the stain of blood on the sheet, she panicked a bit and tried to take it off with her hand even though she knew that was not possible. While she was still trying to get it off, the door to the bathroom opened and Daniel came out. Sapphire hurriedly sat upright and took a glimpse at him. “I ran you a warm bath. Would you go in now?” He asked and then noticed
AUTHOR’S POV.When Daniel came out of the bathroom, he raised his brows as he stared at Sapphire who gave him a cold glare as if she had been waiting for a while for him to come out.“What? You said you did not want to enter the bathroom together. Did you change your mind now that I am done?” He asked with a chuckle.He had tried all he could to persuade her earlier in the bathroom but she had refused adamantly.What a stubborn woman!“What is this?” She snapped as she touched her neck.Daniel moved closer to her and then stared at the multiple hickeys on her neck and he burst into laughter.“I guess that is me marking my territory,” he said amidst laughter.“It’s not funny. I have to wear a turtleneck or something today!”“Come on, Amore. You practically moaned when I kissed your neck so you enjoyed it, no? You did not have an issue with it then, so why now?” He asked, trying to hide his laughter.“What are you saying?” She frowned.“Amore, want me to remind you how yesterday went?”
