AUTHOR’S POV.Kira twitched her mouth as she watched Daniel and Sapphire walk out together while she stood on the balcony of her room.It seemed like Daniel was going out alone as he was fully dressed and she was wearing an indoor outfit.When the couple began to kiss by the car, her fist clenched tight and she exhaled deeply.She had had enough of this stupidity from the two.Sapphire was purposely doing this because she was aware of how he felt for Daniel and Daniel was not helping the matter either.He was aware of her feelings, and since the time she had told him, he had never looked at her the same again.She wondered why he was still letting her come to his house to stay once in a while even though Mogan was not in support of it.Just the way Mogan did not like her, she did not like the woman either and they don’t always hide it.When Daniel entered the car and then drove off, Kira watched Sapphire wave her hand over and over till the car was out of the compound and then snorted
AUTHOR’S POV.Daniel twitched his mouth upward as he tried to remember what he planned on talking about when he arrived at his parents’ sideIt was time he took charge of his life and he was overly ready for it.When the red light popped up from the traffic sign, he pressed the brake of the car and looked around gently.A lot of things have changed since he married Sapphire and amongst them was the way he drives. He was a rough driver and Sapphire hated that. She would refuse that he drove and insisted on the driver driving instead and because of that, he had to learn how to drive again.As he glanced at the countdown on the traffic light, he exhaled and then turned to pick up his phone that rang.“Sir!” His brows pulled together as he heard the evidently panicked voice.“What is wrong?”“Madam… your wife… she got in an accident!”Daniel felt his throat dry up immediately and his lips trembled at the news.“W… what are you saying? She’s at home.”“She fell from the stairs, sir. We’re
AUTHOR’S POV. “So what?” Mogan tilted her head as she walked towards Kira who took steps backward. “Why did you do that?” Mogan asked. “I did not do anything.” “You poured oil on the stairs on purpose!” “She was getting on my nerves!” Kira hollered. Mogan sucked her lower lips and nodded her head. Here is the reality of this bitch. No matter how much she had told Daniel to stay away from her, he would not listen because he kept trusting in her facade. “You are so horrible. All this because Daniel would not look at your side?” “It is all her fault. If she had not come along, I would have succeeded in making him mine totally.” “He was never yours to begin with. What sort of a ridiculous obsession is this?” She snapped her brows together. “I could have succeeded. It is all her…” “Enough.” Mogan looked around and nodded her head, “I want you all to go to her room and fetch everything that belongs to her out here. None of her belongings must remain in that room. Fetch everythin
SAPPHIRE'S POV. TWO WEEKS LATER. I picked up my phone carefully from the nightstand beside the bed and smacked my tongue as I read Emerald’s message. “Are you ignoring me?!” Over the last few days, Emerald had kept sending me messages telling me that we should meet and threats too. She kept threatening to ruin me and do other things to me which I did not take to heart at all. I exhaled when another message entered again and then returned my phone to the nightstand before I lay in beg again. It’s been a week and a few days since I have been released from the hospital and had been getting better. The cast around my right arm has been removed, remaining the one around my shoulder. I had not seen Kira around and when I asked of her from Daniel, he only brushed aside my words by bringing up something else. I exhaled when my phone rang and then closed my eyes shut. I was in no mood to talk to Emerald and that was going to remain as that. After a while that the call had ended, my pho
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire pressed her lips together as she noticed that she had drawn a bit of attention and then pulled her handkerchief from her bag. She dabbed her tears and then exhaled.“Since when?” She asked her, her voice low but broken.“It’s been a while, dear. It has been a while,” Charlotte answered as she sniffed.“And you’re putting up with it? Mum, why? No, why would he even do that? He’s your husband. You are his wife, so why would he do that to you?!”“Sapphire, there is more to this.”“What more? You mean you don’t mind him hitting you like that? Are you kidding?”Charlotte bowed her head and sighed. There was little or nothing she could do.“Why are you living like this?” Sapphire asked and she raised her head again.“What?”“Why are you living like this, mum? Why are you always okay with everything Dad does? You both are our parents but why do you always watch and do nothing whenever he’s in the wrong? Why are you acting so damn inferior to him?!”“Sapphire…”“You wat
DANIEL’S POV.I was in the office in the house when my phone rang and my brows pulled together when I saw the caller ID.Worried that something might have happened, I picked it up hurriedly and stood from the chair.“Sir…” I heard his heavy breathing.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”“Madam… she fainted…”“My wife fainted?!” I asked in surprise.“Yes, sir. I just brought her to the hospital.”“Is it the same hospital?” I exhaled.“Yes, sir.”I ended the call and hurried out of the office without shutting down the laptop.I was wearing a knicker and a round neck so I hurried down the stairs and ran into Mogan who was about to take the stairs.“What’s going on? Where are you going?” She asked while I brushed past her.“I will talk to you later,” I said, not sparing her a glance as I bolted out of the house.I hurried to the car, snatched the keys from my driver, and then ignited the car.***While I was in the car, driving as fast as I could, all I could think of was Sapphire and w
DANIEL’S POV.I felt everywhere go silent at the news from the Doctor. I could not hear anything except for my own muffled breathing.Sapphire is pregnant?She is carrying a baby?O… our… our baby?My baby?!Damn.I have never for once imagined myself with a baby. I have never imagined her pregnant with my baby. And because of this, it scared me.I was going to be a father, but I knew nothing about children or pregnant women.Was I ever going to be good for her and the baby? Was I ever going to be a good father?What if I can’t?What if my child hates me?A lot of people do not like me and suddenly, I feel like I could die if my own child also hates me.What if…“Mr. Daniel?” The Doctor shook me out of my thoughts and I jerked back.“Doctor… my wife… are you serious?”“She is pregnant. Your wife is pregnant and it is one of the reasons she fainted. We could run more tests if you want but I assure you that it would be the same. She is…”“Jesus Christ!” I exclaimed and clasped my hands
When Mogan arrived at the hospital, she waited outside the ward with Sapphire’s mother and was there for a while before she heard a scream from the room. They both turned to look at the door in a bit of panic and wondered if they should barge in.After a while, they heard the wailing again, followed by a faint sob and Mogan pushed the door open almost immediately.She entered the room with Charlotte and then the doctor who had just arrived in time.They stood still as they watched the couple hug each other like their life depended on it. She suddenly got teary at the scene and then shook her head.This was great news and she was so happy for her brother.When the hug was taking longer than expected, she hurried over to them and then patted Daniel’s back. “Logan, it’s okay.”Daniel hesitated for a while before he finally began to disentangle from her. He kissed her neck and then pulled away gently.“Amore,” he cupped her cheek and then bored his eyes on her.“Are you okay?” He asked
