Chapter 71: A Rift In Time

Sapphire's POVMy whole body was aching. My thighs felt like they had run a marathon on a treadmill made of jelly, my arms like they had been lifting weights all night. My head was slightly pounding and I felt sore underneath. My eyes fluttered open, the blurriness still thick. I yawned, stretching my limbs out and rubbed my eyes, now half-awake. When I finally peeled my eyes wide open, the sunlight attacked me and I squinted before lifting my hands to block it.The memories of last night flooded my mind. I smiled and sighed, all of my insides as happy as my love glove. The night we shared would make even the most scandalous romance novel blush. Eric was a man all right but in bed, he was far from it. He sure knew how to leave a woman gratified and satiated. He'd mastered the art of lovemaking so well that I wondered how long it'd taken him to perfect his bedroom skills, or bathtub in this case.And then, I frowned when I thought of the number of women he must have screwed before me.

Chapter 72: The Cold Shoulder

Sapphire's POVIt had been almost three weeks now. Eric hadn't spoken to me since the night he came home drunk. We barely saw each other despite the fact that we were living in the same house. More than half of the day, he was out, to avoid seeing my face, no doubt. He grew a habit of coming home late, sometimes even past midnight.Forget sleeping on the same bed, Eric didn't even sleep in the same room with me anymore. He moved some of his stuff to his personal fitness room and usually locked himself up whenever he was around. He was quickly becoming no more than a stranger to me and my heart ached like it had never ached before. The few times he saw me, he would waste no time avoiding me like I was a disease or like the sight of me killed him.Every attempt I made to talk to him was met with cold silence or harsh words. He was very quick to brush me off or pretend like I didn't exist. Most times it felt like I was talking to a brick wall, my words bouncing back at me, unheard and un

Chapter 73: The Tigress And The Cobra

Sapphire's POVCora brought her hand to her cheek, the part where I'd just slapped. Her head was turned to the side for what seemed like minutes. She was frozen on the spot, staring into space as if trying to make sense of what had just happened. When it had finally clicked in her holed brain that I'd indeed slapped her, she faced me, her eyes now as red as her lipstick."You slapped me?" She fumed, caressing her cheek. Her whole face had turned red in fact."You're damn right I did," I snapped at her, my voice low and dangerous. I should've been scared of how I sounded right now. "And trust me, I won't hesitate to do it again if you dare to disrespect me one more time."I locked eyes with her, my heart pounding with anger, every fibre of my being pulsing with fury. What the hell did she think of herself? Who the hell was she to talk to me that way? What in the world gave her the right to speak of my relationship with Eric like tha? This woman had some nerves. And I blamed Eric for it

Chapter 74: Payback

Sapphire's POV"And where the hell are you coming from?" Eric growled, stepping closer to me the moment I came out of my car, my old, timeworn Ford. I opted to use that instead of the brand new Bentley Eric had gotten me as a wedding gift because it was the only car with no tracker.Smart move, right?I ignored Eric and whispered a "Thank you" to my bodyguard. I'd been feeling lightheaded earlier and didn't feel like driving so I'd sent him my location and he'd driven me back home. I glanced at my diamond wristwatch. It was past 11pm. I wasn't even as late as I'd hoped I'd be. But whatever. There's always next time, I smiled and glanced at Eric whose eyes were clouded with intense anger. My smile faded and I made an attempt to strut past him. But he took hold of my hand and drew me back effortlessly like I weighed a feather caught in a hurricane."I asked you a question, Sapphire," he said, his tone harsher this time and his grip around my wrist tight as hell. "Where the hell are you

Chapter 75: Intruder Alert, Naked Truths

Sapphire's POVThe strange man's eyes widened as if he just realized I was naked and quickly looked away, turning to face Eric. I shuffled backwards and pulled the sheets, wrapping them around me. What on earth was going on here? Who the hell was this guy and what gave him the nerve to barge into my bedroom so late at night? He didn't even knock or say anything. He just strutted in like he owned the damn place. He shattered whatever fragile illusion of security I had left.Where are the stupid bodyguards when you need them?And worse, I let him touch me while I was naked! I just wanted the ground to open up right now and swallow me. I clutched the sheets around me tighter, taking another step backwards. I couldn't believe the audacity of this stranger, walking into our bedroom like he belonged there. My heart pounded against my chest, a cacophony of fear, anger, and confusion surging through my mind.I wanted to scream so badly, to demand answers, to kick this man out of here this ins

Chapter 76: Stirring Up Trouble In Eric's Kitchen

Sapphire's POV"Hey," Ethan greeted from behind me. I was in the kitchen, cutting some vegetables to go along with the nice, delicious steak dinner I was preparing. The aroma of sizzling meat was all over the room, mingling with the scent of herbs and spices.I quickly turned to face him, my eyes meeting his as he leaned against the kitchen counter, close to me. I took a while to respond, my gaze examining his features. Ethan was tall, just as tall as Eric but unlike his older brother, he had jet black hair, which pretty much seemed like how Eric used to style his when I first met him. Until he dyed it brown and began wearing it with neat curls before we even got married. And I never told him how much he looked better with it.Ethan also had beautiful brown eyes and a symmetrical face but his looks weren't as chiselled as Eric's. He was good-looking, it obviously ran in the family, but he had a more boyish handsomeness and would easily cut out for a charming lead in a romantic comedy

Chapter 77: Dishing Out Accusations

Sapphire's POVEric's voice was demanding and menacing when he asked that question. He gave me a deathly stare and I had to pause with what I was doing just to stare right back at him. I glared at him, agape, clutching the knife harder in my grasp. If I were a psychopath, I'd have driven it through his cold, stony heart and ripped it out. That'd teach him never to mess with me ever again.To say I was appalled by his stupid question was an utter understatement. I was livid. I was furious beyond words. How dare he insinuate that something was going on between his brother and me? The audacity! I felt my blood boiling, sizzling hotter than my steak right now, my temper reaching its boiling point. It took every ounce of self–control I had not to lash out at him right then and there.I felt insulted, infuriated and disrespected. What exactly did this man take me for? Seriously! Was he really accusing me of having something with his brother whom I only just met yesterday? That's insane! How

Chapter 78: A Good Day, I Guess

Sapphire's POVI was on the phone with Jamila, talking about everything and yet, nothing in particular. I ranted to her about my Eric problems, she's the only one I could talk to about it. Like always, she tried to console me by saying she was sure Eric was going to come to his senses sooner or later. She kept hammering on how she suspected Eric's mother had something to do with his abrupt change in behaviour.Jamila was on to something. For all I knew, she could be right. But I couldn't care less anymore. Eric made his choice. And it was to treat me like a piece of shit. Whatever his reason was, it was still not enough for him to treat me the way that he did. No excuse could cut it. I'd have appreciated it if he could come to me and tell me straight to my face what the problem was. That's if there was a problem. But no, Eric was hopeless right now.Jamila wouldn't have it though. When I told her I was done with Eric, she went on and on about how much he loved me, urging me to remembe

Chapter 79: Crushed

Sapphire's POVI couldn't believe what I just saw. I couldn't believe what was happening. Eric was in there with another woman! He was fucking another woman after driving me insane! He had betrayed me in the worst possible way, right in front of my eyes. All the pain, the hurt, the anger flooded through me like a tidal wave, crashing down on my already bruised heart.How could he do this to me? How could he throw everything we had, everything we shared for some meaningless sex? How could he betray me like this? How could he hurt me the same way Austin did?He knew how much I loved him. He knew it. I'd even confessed to him how I felt about him. It wasn't enough that he decided to trample on me these past few weeks, he was making a mockery of me and my love for him. I knew our relationship started out as a mere agreement which he'd initiated. But we'd long blurred the lines and it'd turned into something beautiful for us until he ruined it all with his stupidity and now...this!My hand

Chapter 80: Relieved, Then Bam!

Sapphire's POVThat's not Eric.It's not Eric!The man that came out of the room was not my husband. But I was so sure he was the one I'd followed all the way here. I was certain it was Eric I had seen walking into the hotel. But this man... He was wearing the same clothes he had on when I spotted him—formal black jacket and black pants. His hair was now messier than it was and his shirt was unbuttoned and dishevelled.What's going on?I thought I'd seen Eric.I kept staring at the man, confused and all. He stomped past Ethan and I, with anger making his face. Obviously, things had not gone as planned with the blonde but that wasn't my concern. I was worried and puzzled by the fact that I'd thought it was Eric I'd followed here. This man was as tall as Eric, same hairstyle and from the back, it was so easy to think that they were the same person. I was wrong. I was so darn wrong.A smile broke on my lips and the pain in my chest gradually began to fade. Relief flooded through me, wash
