SAPPHIRE’S POV.“Is something going on between those two?” I asked Daniel as we entered the room and he shook his head.I am sure he was fed up with my questions already. I kept asking him till we got inside and he was not replying to me.“You are so nosey,” he shook his head as he unbuttoned his shirt.“Come on, Liam is your friend, so I am sure you are aware of what is going on.”“Is Hilda not your friend too?” He asked halfway, undoing his button.I shook my head and settled on the edge of the bed, “You are too uptight.”“Because I am refusing to gossip with you?” He laughed.“I mean, that is so boring, for real!” I hissed.“You are funny.”I dropped my eyes on his now bare chest and breathed out heavily. I hurriedly smacked my tongue and looked away from him.“By the way… you have not told me what happened to me. What did the doctor say?” I asked.“It’s nothing serious.”I frowned at his short response and turned to look at him again.This time, he was avoiding my gaze and I stood
SAPPHIRE’S POV.Breathlessly, I unwrapped my arms around Daniel’s waist and dropped them on his chest to tap him.We’ve been kissing for as long as I could remember and he did not take a second of space to catch his breath.Slowly, and unwillingly, he broke the kiss, while he panted heavily and then bored his eyes into mine. “Sapphire,” he whispered my name as I felt the rising and falling of our chest.“Daniel, I…”“Shhh,” he cut me short and moved back gently.“You don’t need to give me a reply now. I know you don’t feel the same way for me and I understand,” he said and I shook my head.Was he kidding me?I feel the same way, of course!How could he think it was vice versa?I felt like heaven was going to fall due to the excitement I was feeling.All this while, I had assumed that it was only me who felt that way for him and I thought it was wrong and illegal to feel so.Hearing his confession… him pouring his heart to me and through the kiss, I felt too much happiness in my heart
SAPPHIRE’S POV.These past two weeks have made me lazy and so happy that I wish that those days would never vanish.Mogan had to be the best sister-in-law that anyone could ask for.Apart from cooking for me and ensuring that I eat almost every hour daily, Mogan made sure that I did not go back to work no matter how much I protested.She claimed that I was not okay yet and Daniel backed her up too. Of course, I enjoyed her babysitting me, but it also came with her not letting me do anything in the house.As I applied the nude lipstick on my mouth, I glanced at Daniel who sat on the bed, staring at me, through the mirror, and then raised my brows.“Are you sure you want to do this?” He finally breathed out.I pressed my lips together in order to make the lipstick sit well on my lips before I turned around to look at him, “You know I have to.”“No, you don’t need to.”I shook my head and stood from the chair. No matter how much he had tried to stop me from visiting them, it was not work
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“I hope everything mum and dad told me is not true. You would not steal what belongs to me, right?” Emerald asked me as she covered the space between us.“Steal what belongs to you?” I tilted my head.That was what they told her? That I stole Daniel?Of course, my father would not want to admit that he had forced me to marry the man and now that he no longer has any say over it, he wanted to dump the blame on me.After all, Emerald was that favorite daughter he would not want to offend.“Logan is mine!” She snapped.I ran my hand through my hair and moved back gently then burst into laughter.“Hold on, he told you that I stole him?” I asked amidst laughter.My eyes dropped on my father who shook his head to me, stylishly pleading to me to go with the flow.What?Damn me if I do!“Just because I was in an accident. You went ahead to him and pretended to be me?! How dare you?!” She hollered.“Did your daddy not tell you that he was the brain behind it?” I raised a brow.
EMERALD’S POV.“It’s all your fault.”I said through gritted teeth as I tried to dig my nails into the floor in anger.I curled her fist in a ball and then hit the floor till my hands started to hurt.“Darling, you’re hurting yourself,” my father groaned.“It is all your fault!” I hollered and then slammed my palms on my thighs repeatedly.“What are you saying? You can see that Sapphire has changed too. She’s not been listening to me for a while now.”“That is because you were greedy too!” I snapped.I stood up and swept my hair to the back in anger. I bit my lower lips gently and then shook my head.“Why would you make her take my place just because I was in an accident? If you had explained to Logan the situation, he would have understood. Why would you do that?!”“The company was in danger also!” George snapped back and I drew my brows together.I knew my father was shameless, but till this extent?“What?”“You cared more about your company when I was in that situation?”“Emerald?
AUTHOR’S POV.When Sapphire got home, she hurried to the room after greeting Mogan who was watching a movie in the indoor cinema. Daniel was not inside when she got there so she dropped her bag and hurried out of the house to look for Daniel again.After searching for him for a while, she finally stopped at the library. She pushed the door open, entered fully and the moment she saw Daniel sitting ahead of her, she giggled in excitement and scurried over to him.“Daniel!” “Someone looks so happy,” Daniel smiled and pushed his chair to the back and then dropped the book in his hand.Sapphire stood in front of him and clasped her hands together, “Guess what?”“You squashed them real hard!” He grinned and then wrapped his arms around her waist.Sapphire jumped up in excitement and dropped her hands on his shoulders. “You bet!”“I guess I’ve missed a great scene,” Daniel laughed.“You should have seen their faces. I slapped her face really badly! My father was about to hit me too. You nee
AUTHOR’S POV.“Are you going somewhere this morning?” Daniel asked.Sapphire had woken up before Daniel the next morning and when she entered the bathroom to do her morning business, Daniel woke up.He wondered why she had gotten up so early and then waited till she came out which took a while.“Work, of course,” she answered as she dabbed her face with a towel.“No, you’re staying home,” Daniel shook his head.“Stop it, come on. It’s been two weeks already. I’m more than okay to resume my daily activities,” she protested.“You still need to be at home till it’s all sorted, Sapphire.”“How long is that going to take then? I am just going to be careful, okay? Again, Mogan is going out today. She said she was preparing for her company’s launch party. I can’t stay home alone. I’ll be bored to death,” she said.Daniel exhaled and palmed his forehead. It does not seem like she was going to listen to him right now.”“Okay then,” he said and watched as she squealed in excitement.“But… on one
AUTHOR’S POV.“How long is it going to take? It should have been ready, you know that,” Mogan said to the man who stood in front of her.“I am so sorry, ma'am. The furniture got delayed. It will arrive tomorrow and I will begin work immediately. I am truly sorry,” he bowed.Mogan breathed out and looked around the empty office again.Every other part of the company was done except her office. She had wanted a unique job in her office so she had hired the man and he had disappointed her.Of course, she knew he was going to deliver, she had known him for a while and had worked for him when she got married years ago.“Please, get on it fast. The launching is in two weeks,” she said.“It will be done before then, I promise.”“Ma’am.”Mogan turned around when she heard her secretary call her.“You have a visitor downstairs,” he said.“Who is it?”“I don’t know his name, ma’am. He would not tell me.”She waved her hand at the furniture interior designer and then followed her secretary downs

“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
