AUTHOR’S POV. “I’m sorry,” Liam pressed his lips together as everyone went silent. Hilda stood from where she sat and moved over to him. “What did you mean by you were aware? You mean that you knew everything and only watched as we agonized over her disappearance?” “Babe, I can explain.” Daniel locked eyes with Sapphire and she shook her head like she was telling him that it was not how it seemed like. “It was my fault. I threatened to run farther away if he told anyone about it,” Sapphire interfered. “Sapphire, that is not cool!” Hilda hollered. “I am sorry.” “What if something had happened to you? Everyone was looking for you. No one could sleep because of you but he was aware and did not tell us. Did you not trust us to keep it to ourselves too?” Hilda asked. “Chill, guys. I can understand why she did that,” Mogan clasped her hands together. “Sis, are you for real?!” Hilda frowned. “Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way supporting her leaving the house but I understand why s
AUTHOR’S POV.“You have gotten her?” Liam said and turned to face Daniel.“Kira. They found her,” he said.Daniel nodded his head and then parted his lips when Sapphire hurriedly said.“They should bring her here,” she said as she dropped her eyes on Daniel.“Here?” He asked.“Yes. Or where do you want her to go in that state?” Sapphire asked.“Are you sure? She is…”“Just let her come here. She must have had it rough too,” she said.Daniel turned to look at Liam and then nodded his head at him.Alice and Thomas had left already as Mogan had gone to drop them off.After Liam dropped the call, he turned to face the couple and then dropped his phone in his pocket.“I’ll go drop my girlfriend at home, then I’ll go to the hospital from there and then sort out Agatha and that man’s arrest,” Liam said.“Should I go with you?” Daniel asked.“Nah, just stay back with your wife,” he smiled and then winked at Sapphire.“Thank you, Liam,” Sapphire smiled softly.“No, thank you,” he said, moved o
AUTHOR’S POV. When the men brought Kira home, she was unconscious and paled so Daniel hurriedly ushered them to her room. “Why is she looking like this? You should have taken her to the hospital first!” He exclaimed as he stared at her. “She was locked in a small room and according to Damien, she’s been locked up for about five days without having anything to eat or drink. I guess the aim was to let her starve to death. I’ve called the doctor on our way here and he is coming now,” Alfred said to Daniel after they laid her on the bed. “Five days?!” Daniel widened his eyes. He glanced at Sapphire who had a pitiful expression on her face and then turned to look at Kira whose lips were chapped dry, and her face was white. She looked almost lifeless and if the man had not told her that she was still breathing, he would have assumed that she was dead. “Should we give her water first? She is so dehydrated,” Sapphire said. “Get water,” Daniel said to one of the men. Sapphire walked to
AUTHOR’S POV.“I am sorry,” Kira bowed her head and then picked on her nails.The last person she thought was going to save her was Daniel even though she also felt like he was going to save her.Daniel had always been there for her. He had been a father to her and she admitted that she had been so stupid to have developed feelings for that man instead.While she was locked in that cold, dark room, all she thought of was Daniel.She knew that if things were okay between them, he would have been the first to have noticed that she was missing.Now that she was out of their lives with the shit that she had done to Sapphire, he knew that the man would never forgive her or look for her.She had accepted her fate— dying and probably rotting away in that room.However, when she had opened her eyes to her ever familiar room in Daniel’s house, a sense of relief washed her.Sapphire had not even cared about what she had done to her, still, she looked after her.She fed her and kept looking out
EPISODE 189. THAT GOLD DIGGER.AUTHOR’S POV.Emerald was in her room when she heard the loud noise from downstairs, so she peeped through the window and then pulled her brows together when she saw the men who got out of the van. She put a coat on and then rushed outside.“What is going on?” She asked her dad who bit his finger anxiously.“They are here.”“Who are they?” She asked as she watched them approach them.He turned to look at her and then exhaled, “Our house…”“Fuck, our house? I thought you had settled it!” She yelled.It was past the due time the bank had given them so she assumed that her father had sorted it out as he was even relaxed. Jesus, he was fucking indifferent to the fact that their house was going!“What are you going to do?” She asked him.“What are you saying? I have no one to run to,” he shook his head.“Fuck, Dad!”“Good day, Mr. Rodriquez, we are from CNN Worldwide Banking. As from this moment onwards, we hereby confiscate all of your properties,
AUTHOR’S POV.“I’m so happy for you!” Tina shrieked after she pulled Sapphire to the coffee room and then hugged her again.“I know, thank you,” Sapphire smiled after she broke the hug and then dropped her hand on her stomach unconsciously.“I guess this was the reason you stopped coming to work. Right?” Tina asked.“Not actually. I had a bit of a private matter going on so my husband stopped me from coming again, and then I got pregnant too,” she shrugged.“Ah… speaking of your husband, Mr. Daniel has changed a lot! What did you do to him?!” Tina screamed and clapped her hands together.“How? What do you mean?”“He no longer frowns like before. Even whenever we hit the deadline of whatever project he gives us, he’d just be like… ‘one more week’…” She feigned his voice and Sapphire laughed.“Really?”“Yes! We really did not think we could ever see that side of him. It’s all thanks to you, I guess,” she giggled.“How is it me? Come on. I guess he just got tired of being grumpy,” Sapphi
AUTHOR’S POV.“Welcome,” Daniel ushered Charlotte in and they shook hands with the man.“I am Carlo,” he said.“I am Daniel,” Daniel answered.“I know,” Carlo smiled gently.Daniel nodded his head and then showed him the way in.“Where is Sapphire?” Charlotte asked as she entered.“I will get her now. You guys should feel at home,” Daniel said and then headed to the stairs.When he got to the door, he exhaled and pushed the door open gently.“Amore,” he called her as she dropped a piece of shrimp in her mouth.“Are they here?” She asked and got out of the chair.“Yes, are you ready?” He asked and she nodded her head.“For the last time, who are they?” Sapphire asked with a frown.“Are you still on that? Just come with me and see them,” he moved closer to her, took her hand in his, and then fondled it gently.“Okay.”____As Sapphire got down, she tilted her head as she stared at the familiar backside and then, the woman turned around instantly.“Mum?” She drew her brows together as sh
AUTHOR’S POV.Emerald stood in a corner while she stared at the huge gate of the mansion of the Prestons. She bit her lower lips as she hit her leg on the floor.She had been standing there for over ten minutes wondering if she should move over to the gate or not.She had nothing to lose anymore… Did she?Their house has been taken away.Her cars and most of her belongings have been taken away because they were under her father’s name.The last news she had from her father was when he had gone to court and when the media had announced his verdicts.Her father was going to serve his term in jail.Finally, she moved to the big gate and then pressed the button. The gate pulled open almost immediately and the middle-aged security man opened the gate.“Ma… ma’am?” He raised his brows and then turned to look backward again.“It’s me. Emerald, Sapphire’s twin sister,” she said grudgingly.“Madam is a twin…? Ah, I’m sorry.”“You didn’t know?” Emerald raised her brows in detest.Her identity wa

“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
