SAPPHIRE’S POV.“I hope everything mum and dad told me is not true. You would not steal what belongs to me, right?” Emerald asked me as she covered the space between us.“Steal what belongs to you?” I tilted my head.That was what they told her? That I stole Daniel?Of course, my father would not want to admit that he had forced me to marry the man and now that he no longer has any say over it, he wanted to dump the blame on me.After all, Emerald was that favorite daughter he would not want to offend.“Logan is mine!” She snapped.I ran my hand through my hair and moved back gently then burst into laughter.“Hold on, he told you that I stole him?” I asked amidst laughter.My eyes dropped on my father who shook his head to me, stylishly pleading to me to go with the flow.What?Damn me if I do!“Just because I was in an accident. You went ahead to him and pretended to be me?! How dare you?!” She hollered.“Did your daddy not tell you that he was the brain behind it?” I raised a brow.
EMERALD’S POV.“It’s all your fault.”I said through gritted teeth as I tried to dig my nails into the floor in anger.I curled her fist in a ball and then hit the floor till my hands started to hurt.“Darling, you’re hurting yourself,” my father groaned.“It is all your fault!” I hollered and then slammed my palms on my thighs repeatedly.“What are you saying? You can see that Sapphire has changed too. She’s not been listening to me for a while now.”“That is because you were greedy too!” I snapped.I stood up and swept my hair to the back in anger. I bit my lower lips gently and then shook my head.“Why would you make her take my place just because I was in an accident? If you had explained to Logan the situation, he would have understood. Why would you do that?!”“The company was in danger also!” George snapped back and I drew my brows together.I knew my father was shameless, but till this extent?“What?”“You cared more about your company when I was in that situation?”“Emerald?
AUTHOR’S POV.When Sapphire got home, she hurried to the room after greeting Mogan who was watching a movie in the indoor cinema. Daniel was not inside when she got there so she dropped her bag and hurried out of the house to look for Daniel again.After searching for him for a while, she finally stopped at the library. She pushed the door open, entered fully and the moment she saw Daniel sitting ahead of her, she giggled in excitement and scurried over to him.“Daniel!” “Someone looks so happy,” Daniel smiled and pushed his chair to the back and then dropped the book in his hand.Sapphire stood in front of him and clasped her hands together, “Guess what?”“You squashed them real hard!” He grinned and then wrapped his arms around her waist.Sapphire jumped up in excitement and dropped her hands on his shoulders. “You bet!”“I guess I’ve missed a great scene,” Daniel laughed.“You should have seen their faces. I slapped her face really badly! My father was about to hit me too. You nee
AUTHOR’S POV.“Are you going somewhere this morning?” Daniel asked.Sapphire had woken up before Daniel the next morning and when she entered the bathroom to do her morning business, Daniel woke up.He wondered why she had gotten up so early and then waited till she came out which took a while.“Work, of course,” she answered as she dabbed her face with a towel.“No, you’re staying home,” Daniel shook his head.“Stop it, come on. It’s been two weeks already. I’m more than okay to resume my daily activities,” she protested.“You still need to be at home till it’s all sorted, Sapphire.”“How long is that going to take then? I am just going to be careful, okay? Again, Mogan is going out today. She said she was preparing for her company’s launch party. I can’t stay home alone. I’ll be bored to death,” she said.Daniel exhaled and palmed his forehead. It does not seem like she was going to listen to him right now.”“Okay then,” he said and watched as she squealed in excitement.“But… on one
AUTHOR’S POV.“How long is it going to take? It should have been ready, you know that,” Mogan said to the man who stood in front of her.“I am so sorry, ma'am. The furniture got delayed. It will arrive tomorrow and I will begin work immediately. I am truly sorry,” he bowed.Mogan breathed out and looked around the empty office again.Every other part of the company was done except her office. She had wanted a unique job in her office so she had hired the man and he had disappointed her.Of course, she knew he was going to deliver, she had known him for a while and had worked for him when she got married years ago.“Please, get on it fast. The launching is in two weeks,” she said.“It will be done before then, I promise.”“Ma’am.”Mogan turned around when she heard her secretary call her.“You have a visitor downstairs,” he said.“Who is it?”“I don’t know his name, ma’am. He would not tell me.”She waved her hand at the furniture interior designer and then followed her secretary downs
AUTHOR’S POV. “You want me to believe that, Ethan?” “Ella,” Ethan breathed out and shook his head. He just felt like it was time he told her the truth. He was tired of being misunderstood. He wanted her to know what truly happened. She deserved to know the truth too. He deserves to be forgiven too. He deserves to be given another chance. He… he had never for one day moved on from his ex-wife. “I’m sorry.” “So, are you saying that Vanessa drugged you?” “Yes. She did.” Mogan pinned her eyes on the man for a few seconds before she finally shook her head. “I don’t trust you. Leave, please. I am busy.” “I am sure you are very aware that I am not lying to you. And I would appreciate it very much if you would give me another chance to…” “No, Ethan. I’m done with you. I have moved on from you… totally. Please, leave.” Ethan nodded his head and then stood up gently. He moved closer to her, smiled, and then clasped his hands together. “I will see you again, Ella.” Mogan watched
AUTHOR’S POV.“Why did you do that to me?” Sapphire drew her brows together as Aidan said and she scoffed.Was he stupid?Now that she was thinking of it, she did not know why she had liked this man.Back then, she had believed he was everything she needed in a man and more and she loved that he loved her.Because she did not grow up with love, she was going to do anything to keep their relationship going.She initially agreed to marry Daniel because of him.She was scared that her parents were going to hurt him.Now that she thinks of it, it was actually right of them to have threatened her with the man.Otherwise, she would have never met Daniel nor know what it was like to be his wife.“Do you know what will happen if that man finds out that…”“Why did you do that?” Sapphire cut him short.“Do what?”“Emerald and me. Was it fun?” She asked.A knowing smile spread on Aidan’s face and he sucked his lower lips while he nodded his head.“You think I liked you? A nerd like you?”“You’r
AUTHOR’S POV.“There is no way he is aware. You must be mistaken,” George, Emerald’s father protested.Emerald hissed and then ran her hand through her hair. It’s been almost a week since Aidan told her that Logan was aware. She was not sure how to process it and had kept mute ever since. Why were things going wrong already?Why would Logan sit still if he was aware?It does not make any sense, right?There was no way he would sit still after finding out that he was deceived.Aidan was wrong. Aidan must have heard wrong. That must be it.“Can you get anything right at all? It’s all your fault!” She yelled.“I’m sorry, my princess,” he clasped his hands together and then pressed his lips together.“And… What is with what I am hearing? You have been deposed from your position in your company?”“W… where did you hear that from?”“Dad, It’s all over the internet!” She screamed as she stomped her feet on the ground.“It’s not true. Believe me. I just took a leave. I needed to rest and the
