Antigua And Barbuda Island
3 Days After Wedding
The newly wedded couple gazed at the sunset for a minute. Sapphire stared at the rosy clouds and commented, “It looks like I can just pluck the clouds out of the sky and eat them. Don’t they look like cotton candy?”
“I love the way you think.” Jade laughed.
Sapphire sighed, stretching her arms above her head and then placed them behind her back on the soft mossy ground. With this, she leaned on her elbows, and then, eventually, lied down completely. Later on, Sapphire folded her hands behind her head and watch the last of the sun’s rays disappear below the horizon. The first stars begin to peek out from the black curtain sweeping above out heads and the light of the full moon. There aren’t any crater or bruises — just a polished sphere of white looking down at the both of them.
***Later that day, Jade came to pick her up."Aren't you selling these?" Jade started."No, but would you buy it for me?" She asked."Isn't that cheating?""You'd be making a donation so you're doing a good deed." Sapphire cheered up."She sold it for him. Alright then, can we leave?""Of course." Zoey's mum replied. "You've done a lot today.""Bye ma'am.""Good bye." The couple waved them. Jade placed his arm around her waist with they walked side by side.Is that really his wife? Some women gossiped. She's so old fashioned, like seriously? She didn't even wear makeup. How local?"Director! Have you seen the article?" Mr. Tim rushed to Jade."What's it now? Did they say I had an affair with someone?""No, it's not that, sir. It's about the young Madam."
“Make sure you pick out the weed like this, okay?” A young lady in colourful, floral dress instructed her students.“Yes teacher!” They replied to her with a cheerful smile as they focused on the gardening.Her multi-colored, mid length floral dress swayed a little in the direction of the wind. She smiled down at her lovely students and the corners of her eyes wrinkled to show she smiles a lot. Her crystal blue eyes sparkled as the sun reflected in it, highlighting the little tiny specks of joy in her eyes. Her Auburn hair was up in a neat bun so her hair wouldn't disturb her from weeding. Anyone could see that aside from teaching, being in the garden was something she loved to do.It was a small garden outside the school compound. Sapphire had been working there for a couple of months; though her plan was to get a better job and possibly meet with an educated agriculturist to take care of her fathe
In Sapphire's Room“Yes mum, Carlos has started chatting with me!” Sapphire's cute voice sounded over the phone.“That's good my dear.” Her mum praised.“Mum, what kind of agriculturist is he? Does he own a farm as well? What kinds of crops is he into?” She sounded so curious and impatient.“I'm not sure darling. I know he's hardworking and good-looking. Carlos would be a good husband for you, my dear.”“So he's also good-looking, huh? I can't wait to meet Carlos already.” Sapphire said, sarcastically.“Have you guys picked a date for the meeting?” her mum asked over the phone.“Yes mum. It's 2:00 p.m on Saturday. At Blue Bird Hotel.”“Wow! That's great! Who picked the venue?”“He did mum. I've al
In Lucas's Office."You're here CEO Jade!" Lucas walked to Jade for a handshake, but he ignored and jerked off.They took their seats on an executive table to discuss whatever it was."Awwwwn... I'm not your friend right now. I'm BB Company's legal Consultant." Lucas explained."What is this about that you even used the red call to contact me?""How-dare-you-use-the-red-call-to-call-us-when-he's-a-mere-attorney?" Lucas mimicked Jade's voice which was very funny. This time, Jade couldn't help but to fall for his trick as he blushed."Exactly." Jade replied him. "How dare some lawyers tell me, the CEO to come and go as he pleases.""The chairman changed his will." Lucas explained. He brought out a file from a brown envelope, handling Jade the documents to read.A frown appeared on Jade's face as he co
2 Hours Later and they were still on the talk.“Alright then, Let me go to the main point.” Lucas stated. “You've been given the fortune of the Alejandro's BB Company.”“Oh Lord! Did he pass away?” Sapphire asked as her eyes almost started draining holes.“No Miss teacher! Sorry to tell you this, but he is not dead! My grandpa is still agile and strong, got it?!” Jade warned as Lucas pinched Jade by the side again, but he flinched.“Ummm, no. That's not it. He just included you in his will--” Lucas continued, but Jade interrupted his words again with anger and deceit in his eyes.“In other words you are getting his entire fortune.”Thinking about it was unbelievable. Especially with the crappy guy that had a blabbed mouth. It's no doubt, but Sapphire already hated him. She tried to think
****In Sapphire's Room.She was sitting on a wooden, armless chair. In front of her was her old, laptop. Well, it still functioned well so,Sapphire was satisfied using it.On her body was a snow-white coloured cardigan and black jeans shorts that made her look like a Barbie character. On her nose bridge were two pairs of transparent, clean, reading glasses. She wears it every time she's on her laptop. Well, as if something caught her attention. Sapphire widened her eyes and moved closer to the screen. She peeled off her eyes to the new notification message she just received.From 'I love actor Gabby's' Facebook homepage.He's releasing his first music video ever. He and model Kylie Jenner, an upcoming fashion model sponsored by Coca-Cola."Well, I can't wait to watch this!" She jerked excitedly with an impatient smile on her face.
****The environment was cool and welcoming. A couple of guests were seated in the in eatery and everyone was busy eating and chatting. By the corner of the eatery was Sapphire and Jade. He had taken her to lunch, and she was seated right in front of him, unable to say a word. An awkward silence lasted for a couple of minutes until Jade decided to speak."My grandpa wants us to marry.""How does that concern me?" Sapphire rolled her eyes at him.She was tired already. All she wanted was to go home, eat her own hand-cooked food and rest on her comfy bed. To Sapphire, Jade was just a big, disturbance."Yes, it does concern you! Because you're the one my grandfather wants me to marry. In our family, whatever the man says is law.""Then I suggest you and your grandpa should talk it over. Instead of disturbing others with your family problems!""You shouldn't be acting as if this isn't your problem since he wants us to get married. Y
****He took her to the garden outside the eatery to seat and talk. The environment was quite cool and colourful. There were wooden benches under a hatched hut like corridor.The both of them sat there, facing each other like to angry chickens, ready for a fight.“What's next, dude! I need to go home!” She spat and looked at the screen of her wristwatch. It was already 4:00 p.m.Sapphire huffed out at him, uncomfortably. “Like seriously, I'm going to call the cops if you don't stop stalking me like this!” she warned."I feel we need a heart-to-heart talk, bitch!" He retorted.“I told you I have nothing to say to you!” She fired. Some guests walking out of the eatery turned to look at her in an awkward way.Sapphire wore an apologetic face and looked away. Her eyes focused on Jade like an an angry vulture.Things were alre
