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?”

“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
