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
AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire entered her room fully, turned around, and stared at the butler who entered with her and closed the door gently behind her.“What happened? Why did he sack everyone?” she asked as she paced around the room and scratched my forehead.“He knows about what happened that day,” she answered and Sapphire snapped her brows together.“Which day?”“That day you and the maids had issues.”Come to think of it, the butler was not fully aware of what happened. She had just found the woman yelling and she did not ask either.Knowing the kind of person Emerald was, she knew it was the maids’ fault and she chose to not say anything.Sapphire on the other hand spaced out as she tried to remember what happened.“No one was there. Who told him?” The butler shook her head and she meant it. She had no idea who told their boss what happened.This was something she had always feared. Being caught talking to one another was something she dreaded in this house and she started to get fr
DANIEL’S POV.I palmed my head and tilted my head to the other side. I don’t know if it was the scream that annoyed me or the name she had just called me… or rolling off the bed!Pervert? She just called me that?Woah, I guess people cannot be helped then.I tucked this woman into the bed the previous night and made sure she slept well and warmly but she still had the audacity to call me a pervert?!I groaned hard and got off the bed and walked over to her. She still lay on the floor, her eyes shut and I kicked her leg gently. “Are you going to stay there all day?” “God, this is so embarrassing…” I heard her moan through gritted teeth as she opened her eyes slowly.I leaned down, grabbed her hand, and pulled her up which undoubtedly caught her by surprise.“Fuck, why are you naked? What did you do to me?!” She hollered and crossed her arms on her chest.I creased my brows and dropped my head to look at the so-called nakedness and shook my head. “This is being naked?”I was wearing j
