A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 43: Face-off
Sapphire's POVEric's mother glided toward us, her tall figure accentuated in a purple velvet gown that screamed wealth and poise. Her wavy black hair with a side parting flowed over her shoulders as she walked. Her beauty was undeniable, I could see where Eric got his looks from, but it was overshadowed by an air of arrogance that hung around her like an invisible cloak.Her eyes, sharp and piercing, surveyed me with distinct coldness as she approached us. There was this look of disdain etched on her face that made it very clear she was not happy to see her son with me. And I braced myself for whatever was to come. Because it was obvious that she was going to talk down to me. I just didn't know to what extent.I could feel Eric's muscles tense beside me when he locked our fingers together and glanced into my eyes as if to say, "I got you." But I sent him a small reassuring smile to let him know that he had nothing to worry about.It was evident that their relationship was not a good
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 44: From Beastly Mothers To Culinary Delights
Sapphire's POVAnger bubbled up inside me. How could this woman refer to her own son as a beast? Sure, Eric was a case of his own and he could be such a prick, no doubt, but he was far from being a beast whereas this woman glaring at me clearly didn't take her time looking into her mirror. She was like a three-headed venomous monster who poisoned everything she came across.I gave her yet another befitting reply, "Oh, don't worry about me. If your husband could put up with a monster like you for such a long time, then I'll manage with my beast just fine." I hooked my arm in Eric's and smiled sickly at her.Mrs Donovan fumed, "I will make you regret ever speaking to me this way.""I just don't get what your fucking problem is, honestly," Eric chipped in, "The only reason you asked me to get married is your greed. I don't see why my choice of wife should bother you, mother."Eric's mother heaved a deep breath and shook her head disapprovingly. "Very well, Eric. Do whatever you want. But
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 45: Sophia's Subtle Sabotage
Sapphire's POVSophia? Who was Sophia? And why was she all over my fiancé like they were in some kind of intimate relationship? Why was he so comfortable with her? And why was she acting so possessive towards him?Was I missing something here? And she called him Erry Perry. That's new. What kind of silly nickname was that?I glared at her, feeling a mix of irritation, jealousy and anger. Eric's casual interaction with her didn't sit well with me. It was clear that these two had a history, and her familiarity with him bothered me more than I wanted to admit. While they exchanged their neverending pleasantries, all that ran through my mind was what connection the both of them could possibly have.She seemed like the typical ex-girlfriend – gorgeous, slender, with beautiful brown eyes, silky brown hair and a charming smile that could stop hearts. And most importantly, she seemed filthy rich. That was no surprise. Since she was here at this party and happened to be an old acquaintance of E
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 46: Twists And Turns On The Dance Floor
Sapphire's POVI snapped back to reality and lifted my head up to see a tall, dark-haired man standing in front of me, his hand extended towards me. I looked at him, taking in his handsome chiseled features which were Brad-Pitt-like. It seemed like almost all the men here were good-looking and should either be on the runway or in showbiz.The stranger was about 6 feet tall, with a strong jawline and bright blue green eyes that appeared as though they sparkled under the gleaming lights of the place. His dark hair was styled in a messy yet charming way, and his suit fit him perfectly, clinging to his somewhat muscular frame. His eyes were more than capable of looking right through anyone they found and his faint smile was mesmerizing.It took me a moment to register what he had said and I was momentarily taken aback, unsure of how to react. The man kept peering straight into my eyes, his smile having faded into a small smirk playing on his lips."Um, I...I'm sorry, what did you say?" I
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 47: Possessive Drama King
Sapphire's POVI spun around to see my 'beloved' fiancé standing there, his eyes blazing with anger and something that I just couldn't really make out. His sudden intrusion caught me off guard. He stepped towards me and Adrian, his eyes never leaving mine. This felt like the time he had walked in on me and Austin at the store. Eric sure had a thing for making a dramatic entrance. It was like he practically lived for drama. He was always so dramatic! And annoying! And irritating!And so damn hot! – my subconscious added.It took every ounce of me not to roll my eyes at myself at this moment. And if I could talk to myself aloud right now, I would have said, "Shut the fuck up! This is a serious situation. I'm supposed to be mad at him, not admiring how hot he is.... Even though he is freaking gorgeous."But my subconscious was even more stubborn than I was. It continued...Seriously, it was like Eric descended from the heavens on a cloud of charisma and mischief. If being drop-dead gorgeo
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 48: Do I Love Him?
Sapphire's POV"Tell me, tigress, are you falling in love with me?"Eric's question echoed in my mind and resounded in my ear, swirling through the chaotic of conflicting emotions inside of me. It hung between us like an unanswered riddle. All I did was stand there, frozen, and staring deeply at him. I had been caught off guard by his question. This man always had a way of catching me off guard and leaving me tongue-tied. It felt as though time itself had taken a long pause, waiting for my answer as much as Eric was right now.The party noises faded into the background as I stood facing Eric, lost in contemplation. Eric's eyes bored into mine, in search of his answer perhaps, and for a while, I found myself grappling with the uncertainty of my own emotions.Did I love Eric? Was I really falling in love with him?These questions sent my emotions twirling in every single direction. Well, the idea of falling in love with him sounded extremely ludicrous in my head, especially considering
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 49: Cold Feet
Sapphire's POVToday is the day...I gazed into the full-length mirror, my eyes flickering and my delicate hands running down the fabric of my strapless white mermaid dress. I stared for a long time at my reflection as I trailed my fingers all over it. The fabric was a smooth, shimmering, sleek satin with intricate lace detailing and the tiny seed pearls that dotted it.It flowed down perfectly in a long train behind me. And my hair was held up in a proud, regal afro bun, with a tiara blinged out in tiny diamond stones. I sighed, my reflection staring back with a hint of resignation.I was finally getting married."Must be nice," I muttered to my reflection, my voice laced with bitterness and uncertainty. The thought of marrying a billionaire had its perks, yet here I was, standing and musing about it.I hadn't seen or spoken to Eric since his grandfather's birthday party a few days ago. He had sent me my wedding dress and everything else I needed for the wedding down to the bridal bo
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 50: Wedding Bells
Sapphire's POVI adjusted my tiara and picked up my bouquet from the floor. With a final glance at the mirror, I straightened my shoulders, putting on a smile that didn't reach my eyes.Eric's bodyguard drove me, Jamila, Gwen and Ruby to the venue. My wedding was held in a garden at a beautiful scenic estate, with flowers in full bloom, lush greenery and a stunning view of the mountains in the distance. This was the first time I was here so I admired the view from every corner. Eric left no stone unturned in making sure this wedding was as magical as he'd said it would be.This was it. Today, I will finally become Mrs Sapphire Donovan.While I stepped out of the car, my nervousness shot all the way up and I clutched my bouquet hard. We made our way to the ceremony and as I walked down the aisle, my eyes danced over the guests.
