DANIEL’S POV.“What do you want me to do then?” I frowned at the woman who stood in front of me.This woman loved to nitpick things so much and I wonder if she knew that about herself.Today was quite stressful as I did a lot and met with a lot of people. This woman nagging me was definitely not what I needed next.It was not like she was the only one tired. I was too. And again, who gets tired of shopping?It was literally what every woman looked forward to.“Besides, I texted you early to inform you. It is you who wasted time shopping,” I told her with irritation on my face and then watched a frown gather on her face.“So what if you texted to tell me that? Do you think I had a choice about going shopping? It was your idea! I did not even approve of it!” She snapped and I almost flinched in my seat.She was too loud.Did she not know that?“You think I would sit still while you go around in clothes that clearly do not size you? Unless you are blind, I am sure you know that much,” I
DANIEL’S POV.As the car drove out of the mansion, I glanced at Emerald… Sapphire. She is Sapphire and the other name would not stop popping out of my mouth.I looked at her as she looked out of the window, awing the atmosphere. She liked night drives and it was evident on her face right now.I took in my lower lips, sucked it gently, and tore my eyes away from her.I have been living with another person for almost one month. No, I married someone else.At first, it was as if I was the one with mental issues, it was as if I was running crazy when the thought that Emerald was different would not stop popping into my head.I tried my best. I tried all I could to get this thought out of my head. I did not want to doubt this person I had just married but that was impossible as everything kept clashing against each other.The Emerald I had met that day… The Emerald I had met on the first day, was definitely nothing like this woman, Sapphire.It is not my fault I was able to be fooled that
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“My daughter…” my eyes squinted as I heard Daniel’s mother say to me and stretched her arms wide.I pressed my lips together as I walked in her embrace gently. When I got to her, she pulled me in a hug and wrapped her arm around my back lovingly.This gesture was so cute.I sniffed and hugged her back. This was so heartwarming that I could feel my eyes getting teary and my heart heavy.Even my mother had never shown me this kind of gesture. It felt weird, yet cute.Her vanilla scent filled my nose and I wished this hug would never end.Daniel’s mother was very cute and I am glad to have met her.At least, before I leave.Finally, the hug broke and she looked into my eyes as she palmed my cheek.“Goodness, why do you look this way? Are you stressed? Did you lose weight too? Is Logan treating you badly? Are you not getting enough rest? Are these eyebags I am seeing in your eyes?”She bombarded me with questions and I chuckled at that. I picked up her hand and covered my
DANIEL’S POV.Everyone being shocked to see Mogan was absolutely the best reaction we could have.This was my big sister, Daniella Mogan who went AWOL three years ago after her divorce with her ex-husband, Ethan Thordoff, who was actually in the dining room with us.When my sister divorced Ethan, she suddenly left the country leaving a stern note that she was going to recuperate and no one should search for her.When my mother did not listen and hired investigators to search for her, Mogan sent a warning message to her to stop searching for her as if she was aware or they would never see her again.And we did. We stopped searching for her and once in a ‘blue moon’, she sent messages, letting us know that she was hale and healthy.Showing up at the dining table was definitely what anyone would have anticipated. I looked around and when I didn’t see Ethan in sight, I shook my head and turned to look at my sister who entered the dining room fully and dropped her handbag on the table.I e
DANIELLA MOGAN’S POV.Returning to my family after three years of leaving them has to be one of the happiest things that has ever happened to me.Just as much as I was not showing it, I knew everyone was hiding it also. I knew they were hiding how much they have missed me too as I would not also hesitate to rush into my mother’s warm embrace.I glanced at Daniel, my little brother who already looked like he was older than me as he was so huge and taller.Anyone would argue that he was the one older by three years and not me.Anyone would think I was thirty and he was thirty-three which was actually vice versa.When I first entered the house, I heard the voice of my ex-husband, Ethan, which I will never be able to mistake and then I knew he was in the room with us.I looked around the table and when my eyes fell on the empty seat across from me, I shook my head and sighed.“ETHAN!” I bellowed and at that moment, my mum called my name too.Out of everything and everyone that I have miss
DANIEL’S POV.“You allowed him to go to her… alone?” I widened my eyes after we finished dinner and Ethan left the table and left for Mogan’s room.“What do you expect me to say when he asked me if he could go there?” My mum frowned and I shook my head.“Anything but that. I bet she is going to erupt like a bomb when he enters.” “No one should interfere in those two. Let's just watch how things unfold,” My dad said and I shook my head.“No, that is not fun.”Dad was always like this. Apart from siding with Mum, not wanting to interfere in anyone's business was his forte.“Fun? You want fun? Go to the amusement park!” my mum snapped.“That is not what I am saying, but Ethan going there is not the right thing to do, I swear. You know what happened between them, yet you invited him for dinner,” I hissed.My mum slammed her palms on the table and stood up, “Ask your father, Ethan comes here every Friday night on his own accord. I did not call him over!”I drew my brows together as she sa
SAPPHIRE’S POV.When I looked around the room as we entered, my eyes fell on Daniel who had a soft smile on his face and my brows pulled together in wonder.Was he happy because he was back in his old room?The room I was standing in looked like a male room and I could only assume it belonged to Daniel. The pictures posted on the wall around the room were proof on their own.Hold on. What if he was glad that he would be able to taunt me because we were spending the night together?Come to think of it, he did not even argue much with his mum when she wanted us to spend the night here. It was as if he was even anticipating it.I stood away from him, dropped my hand on my waist, and queried him. When he didn’t give me the answer I wanted to hear and only asked if I was kidding. I frowned and prepared to ask him questions again.Does it even look like I was joking?“What are you scheming, Daniel?”He burst into laughter and my eyes fluttered closed and open.This definitely has to be the
SAPPHIRE’S POV. “Have you consummated your marriage with Daniel?” I choked hard and spat the water in my mouth the moment I heard Daniel’s sister, Mogan say to me. This was the least question I was expecting from her or anyone. “Goodness,” she smacked her tongue and patted my back. “Did my question take you by surprise that much?” She asked as she stroked my back and I finally exhaled, regaining my composure. I raised my head to look at her and shook my head, “Not really,” I answered and cleared my throat. “Don’t tell me you have not done anything? Or are you shy?” She asked again and I gulped hard while I stared at her, my eyes fluttering open and close. She shook her head and burst into laughter. She laughed for a while and I only stared at her, wondering what was making her laugh so hard. “You look so cute right now, do you know?” She asked amidst laughter and I raised my brows. “I do?” “You are acting like a high school girl. Does it embarrass you so much that you have
