All Chapters of A One Night Stand To Remember: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Sapphire's POVIt was a woman. The strange voice on the line belonged to a female. But who? Who on earth could it be and how well did she know me?"How do you know my name?" I managed to croak out, gripping the receiver tighter and staring into blank space."I managed to get your number and leave a note in your wardrobe and you're worried about how I know your name?" The caller replied, her tone smoky and brutal as the harsh reality of her words slapped me on my face. Her voice dripped with a certain mockery that made my skin crawl and made me want to run out of the place. It carried a chilling confidence, as if she held all the cards in this twisted game we were playing. I could also sense a hint of amusement in her tone, it was almost like she was enjoying watching me squirm in discomfort and fear.It was the kind of voice that made you feel small, insignificant, like a pawn in someone else's grand scheme. And yet, there was some sort of vulnerability buried deep within, one that m

Sapphire's POV"Eric...," I called out to him but he refused to meet my gaze.Eric took another step away from me, his body language having shifted from concern to defensiveness. His gaze flickered across the living room, went around everywhere but me, like he was searching for an escape route. His hands fidgeted nervously at his sides, his shoulders tense and hunched as if he were trying to shrink away from the accusation that I'd laid out.He licked his lips and ran his hands through his hair and by this time, I was shivering much more than I was before. Now, I wasn't just terrified. I was terrified out of my wits. I was scared shitless, absolutely petrified. I wanted him to say something, anything at all to refute the accusations, to assure me that it was all just a misunderstanding but no. He remained wordless, his silence speaking volumes about his possible guilt.The tension around us grew heavier and became unbearable, on its way to suffocate me to death. I kept waiting for Eri

Eric's POVIt had been two weeks since Sapphire left me and nothing was the same. I was losing it, I was losing my fucking mind. I couldn't sleep for shit, not even for a minute, my eyes just staring at the ceiling, replaying every damn moment over and over again. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was her face, her beautiful face clouded with anger and hurt.Every single night was a marathon of tossing and turning in the empty bed, the bed that used to bear witness to how crazy in love I was with her. My brain kept buzzing with thoughts of my tigress, her eyes pooled with tears as she hurled that ring in my direction like a missile. Like it was nothing. And damn, did it sting. The disappointment plastered into every line of her beautiful face, that is.I thought about my mistake that led to this. I'd been replaying it over and over in my head, like some sick movie on repeat. The accident. The one that took her brother away and put her sister in a coma. And now she knew it w

Sapphire's POVI sucked in a breath, my heart drumming loud against my ribcage and skipping a beat or two. Eric's statement hung loosely in the air for what felt like a minute before descending on me like a lead balloon. His words resounded in my ear, chilling despite the heat of the soup still lingering on my skin. I felt my blood boil at his audacity. The audacity to think he could control me, dictate my every move.How dare he?"What..." My voice faltered. Suddenly, the room felt smaller, the walls closing in as my chest tightened and dizziness hit me once again. "What did you just say?"Eric's eyes bored into mine, steady and unblinking. There was a weird calmness which had settled in his gaze and his demeanour. He had no right to be calm or at peace for even a split second. Not after what he'd done. He ought to be in constant pain and restlessness for the sins he committed. It bothered me to see him so calm and composed all of a sudden. A monster like him deserved no less."You h

Sapphire's POVAnother exhausting day at work over...I sighed heavily and grabbed my stuff before heading home. It was almost evening and my shift was over. I just wanted to get home, take a nice cold shower and plop on the bed. My entire body was aching and screaming rest. I managed to reach Jamila's house and as it turned out, she wasn't home yet. And neither was Gwen.The both of them had assured me that they were okay with me living with them and that I shouldn't be in a hurry to leave just yet. It was really sweet and thoughtful of them but I preferred to have my own place. I didn't want to depend on people too much or burden them with my shit.I dipped my hand into my purse, searching for my keys and I let out a grunt of frustration as I couldn't find them. I hoped I hadn't dropped them carelessly at work or on my way here. I was still ransacking my purse for the annoying, little devils when I felt someone standing behind me."Austin!" I shrieked in horror as I quickly turned t
