Chapter 1: Not My Birthday But I Got The Surprise

Sapphire's POVI got home late after an extremely exhausting day at work. My back ached and my stomach wouldn't stop growling. I hastily took a cold shower and managed to fix up noodles which I downed with a bottle of chilled Coca-Cola. At last, l felt somewhat alive.I glanced over my phone, there was still no calls or texts from my boyfriend, Austin which was odd because he always returned my calls. I'd been calling since this morning and still, nothing from him.It was his birthday today. I had intended to take the day off and spend quality time with him but something came up at the office and that hindered my plans.Nevertheless, I'd ordered a mouthwatering vanilla butter cake - his favourite and a bottle of champagne. I would go to his house and celebrate this special day with him. I kept on calling, texting and leaving voice messages, so many that one would think he's got my kidneys or that I'm nuts. Perhaps he was angry at me for bailing out on our plans today but it didn't ma

Chapter 2: Marriage's Not My Thing

Eric's POV"I heard you sold your app, Tinzel and recently acquired the D'Writers company, is it true?" Elizabeth asked as she took a sip of her wine, batting her fake eyelashes at me.She had her legs crossed as she sat right across me. She wore a skimpy black dress that outlined her firm boobs and left her nipples protruding. Rumour had it that she'd spent a fortune getting boob implants and a whole lot of other plastic surgeries.We were having dinner at some fancy restaurant mother dearest booked for us. And trust me, I'd rather be anywhere else than there. My mother practically forced me to go on a date with our business partner's daughter, Elizabeth.Did I say force? Oh no, I meant blackmail. She was blackmailing me to go on these stupid dates, hoping that I'd agree to marry one of these billionaire's pompous daughters.Not that I had anything against them, no. Marriage just wasn't my thing, it wasn't for me. I mean, what's the point of getting married if you're going to divorce

Chapter 3: The One Night Stand 1

Sapphire's POV"Give me more!" I yelled through the deafening music as I demanded for more beer. I'd already had like what, two or three bottles? But I wanted more and more!"Girl slow down," Gwen said inaudibly. She was just as drunk as I was.Jamila and I had arrived at the nightclub half an hour ago. She'd then texted her roommate Gwen to come join us. We were having the night of our lives, partying like there was no tomorrow. Except that there was actually a tomorrow - a tomorrow where I had to go to work and early too if I didn't want to lose my job.Not to mention, our new CEO would be coming to the office for the first time tomorrow. The bastard couldn't wait till Monday. The news of his sudden arrival had thrown the office into a frenzy. Everything had to be perfect and that meant more work.Thanks to him I couldn't take the day off and celebrate Austin's... Oh that's right.

Chapter 4: The One Night Stand 2

Sapphire's POVHis face was just a few inches away from mine and I could feel his hot breath on me. It was practically making my insides melt and his burning gaze not only sent cold shivers down my spine but also caused me to feel weak in the knees. Who was this man and why was he such an enthraller? How could this stranger have the power to leave me hopelessly spellbound?I didn't know if it was the alcohol taking control of my emotions or if it was this drop-dead gorgeous man casting a spell on me. But whatever it was, I wanted it to carry on and I wished it wouldn't stop, not for any reason. I wanted to feel my cold hands on his bare chest and run my fingers down his perfectly sculpted torso.I wanted to feel his body colliding against mine and wrap my legs tightly around him. I wanted his tongue tasting the sweetness of my skin and his hands exploring every part of my body. Call me crazy but I wanted nothing more than to be his tonight, only his.I took a bold step forward, put my

Chapter 5: Not A Lover Boy

Eric's POVI woke up extremely late the next morning. Not even the blaring sound of my alarm clock could awaken me. I turned to my left where the curly-haired beauty from last night had dozed off and tried to reach for her but she was gone. I rubbed the blurriness off my eyes and sat up on my bed.I scanned the bedroom and noticed that her leather jacket that'd been lying on the floor beside my bed was no longer there. I got out of bed and put on a pair of black joggers. I strode to the guestroom in hopes that she was still lingering around but no, she wasn't. She was gone, probably long gone before I even woke up.It was true that I was such a heavy sleeper. I slept like dead man - my dad used to always say to me back then. One time when I was 8, our house caught fire at midnight. While everyone panicked and tried to get me out, I slept soundly in my room, completely unaware of the flames that'd engulfed the place. So I wasn't surprised that I didn't even hear the Tigress leave.I wa

Chapter 6: Blames & Regrets, Mistakes & Memories

Sapphire's POV June 9th 2022 – the worst day of my entire life. Well, the second worst day actually. It was nothing compared to the day my family, my world was shattered. At any rate, it was still a day I'd rue for as long as I lived or so I thought.How could I have been so stupid? How? How did I even let myself get so wasted to the point where I was completely dazzled by alcohol so much so that I had sex with a stranger? Like it wasn't enough that Austin, that bastard, cheated on me, that same night, I went on to sleep with a man I knew nothing of, a total stranger. Just thinking about it made me gag. I was enraged, disgusted and hurt. All I wanted to do was drink and forget about my problem, not add to it. But I did!I remember waking up with a hangover, naked in the arms of a man I'd never seen before. His arms went around my waist and my head was resting on his chiseled chest. The moment I opened my eyes, I screamed and fell so hard on the floor. I w

Chapter 7: A Perfect Monday For Mr Eric

Eric's POVMonday arrived rather quickly. Too quick, if you ask me. I got out of bed very early and got dressed for work. I was decked in a grey Kiton K-50 suit with the first two upper buttons undone and a pair of Testoni's alligator skin, Moro monk-strap shoe. It would be my first day at D'Writers and I couldn't wait to get it over with.I sat down in the dining room for a quick breakfast of Greek salad omelette and coffee that'd been prepared by Nana Belinda, the cook and head maid. She was a 57-year-old woman, kindhearted and caring. She was more of a mother to me than my sorry excuse of a mother. I guess it's because she practically raised me as a child while my mother was too busy to care. "How was your night, Eric?" She asked me with a warm smile on her face as she poured me my coffee. "It was great, Nana." "Did you sleep well?" "Of course, I did," I replied, taking a slice of the omelette. "But not as much a

Chapter 8: We Meet Again

Sapphire's POV "You have got to be fucking kidding me!" That was the first thing I screamed inside of my head when I saw who sat before me. The very same man with whom I had a one night stand, the strange man that I slept with in a drunken state, that man was none other than my new CEO? He was New York's most talked-about billionaire, Mr Donovan? Creator of Tinzel? Who would've thought? I wasn't expecting to see the man so soon and worse, here of all places! The universe really played a trick on me, a wicked one at that. There he was, seated, wearing a million dollar suit I suppose, with his stupid jet-black hair stylishly combed and an idiotic smirk plastered on his face. What the hell was he smirking at anyway? I wished I could walk over there and wipe it off his ugly face. Okay, well that was a blatant lie. He was a thousand miles far from ugly. As a matter of fact, he was devilishly handsome just sitting there. But it didn't matter. Handsome or not, I was still irked by the me

Chapter 9: Bipolar Demeanour Billionaire

Sapphire's POV I tramped all the way to Mr Donovan's office with a big scowl. What could he possibly want with me? Why couldn't he just let me be for now? Didn't he realize how awkward seeing his face made me feel? I didn't even deem it fit to knock before I stormed in. I stood facing him as he sat behind his desk, working on his laptop computer. "You sent for me, sir?" I tried to sound as polite as possible. "Weren't you taught to knock before entering someone's office, Miss Smith?" He asked, still fixated on the screen. "Oh, I was taught to knock, alright. Want me to give you a demonstration using your head?" I muttered to myself. I would be more than happy to show him how good my knocking skills were. "Did you say something?" His voice was somewhat cold and unwelcoming. "No, sir." "And what are you still standing there for? Go back and knock," he ordered, laying emphasis on the 'knock'. I shot him a cold glance and turned towards the door. I stood outside and knocked on it

Chapter 10: My Boss, My Knight In Shining Armour

Sapphire's POVMr Donovan came forward till he was just a few inches away from me. He moved closer and cupped my hand in his."I'm sorry if you think I took advantage of your intoxication. I'm sorry I couldn't resist you. Have you seen yourself though? Who could resist an enchantress like you?"Could there ever be a more cringe-worthy apology than this?"Anyway, I'll try harder next time, Tigress," he added."Next time?" I arched one of my brows. What the hell did he mean by that?"I was just kidding," he said nonchalantly. "But if you're up for it, I wouldn't mind." He shrugged.Just as I was about to respond, a knock on the door interrupted and I quickly pulled away from him. The last thing I wanted was for anyone to find out about what went down between us both, especially here at the office."May I come in, Mr Donovan?" April asked and I watched as Mr freaking Donovan calmly took his seat."Come in." He turned to me and gave me a look that said, "See? Etiquette!" and I rolled my e
