AUTHOR’S POV.Sapphire sighed lightly as Daniel’s lips crashed on hers. She had a billion questions she wished to ask about that man, but she was not able to ask even one. Everything was a jumbled mess as her body ignited in Daniel’s passionate kisses."Daniel," she whispered softly.He kissed her on the lips softly. "You don’t have to say another word to me, amore. You can’t imagine how much I want this and you."She groaned at that as she looked right at him. "You just don’t want to answer my unspoken questions.""Maybe," he admitted.She gave him a look and he kissed her in return. "You’re not going to deny it?""There is no need for such drama, and now, you talk too much, let me love you," he said softly.That was all it took to bring her back to the moment. Daniel’s lips were wet as he kissed her softly. She felt her nipple tickle his chest hair, and she couldn’t even think straight. It didn’t help that the water was leaking through her body into her sensitive spots, causing her
AUTHOR’S POV.“What do you mean by that?Sapphire drew her brows together as Daniel started.After they had finished making love together in the bathroom, they had their bath together, and then laid in the bed, naked.Sapphire was starting to feel comfortable around Daniel and she liked it.He was playing with her hair as her head was on his chest when he started.“I don’t remember anything from my childhood,” he repeated.It was taking everything in her to not raise her head to look at him but she felt like it was good this way.He probably does not want her to see the look on his face too.“I woke up one day and my parents were taking me to the hospital. I remember meeting a therapist.”“You don’t know why?”“I was young, so I could not ask.”“What happened? Did you ever try to know?”“Of course, I did. I don’t know, but I feel like there’s something pulling me back. I don’t know the truth, yet it scares me.”“That is…”“Since that day… when I was ten, I’ve been living wi
AUTHOR’S POV.“So, tell me, Liam. What is between you and Hilda?” she asked as she dropped the glass cup of water while Daniel shook his head.Was it not Sapphire? She was surely going to satisfy her curiosity.Sapphire had forced Daniel to join her in the cafeteria and while they were eating, Liam had joined them there.She knew this was the time she could ask Liam about it and she was taking her chances.“Are you two going out?” she added again.“There is nothing going on between Hilda and I.”“Why?! It is very obvious that you two like each other. Are you lying to me right now?” she creased her brows.“Is it? For all I care about, she does not like me,” he said as he wiped his hands.“Why? Did she tell you that? Do you like her?”Liam hesitated and then glanced at Daniel who nodded his head and he nodded his head too.“I do like her and there is absolutely nothing I can do to make her see things from my own point of view.”“See, Li. I am not supposed to be telling you this but if y
AUTHOR’S POV.Hilda sat rather patiently as she stared at her wristwatch again. It was over thirty minutes since she'd arrived at the restaurant and the man had not arrived yet.She had purposely picked this time, 9 PM because she felt like he would be free by then. It was almost 10 and Liam had not shown up yet.He did not call to tell her he would be late and she did not do the same either. “Are you okay, ma’am?” The waitress stopped in front of her.“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry. My… date has not shown up yet.”“We’ll be closing in a few minutes, I hope you are aware.”She nodded her head as her eyes fell on the paper plastered on the wall across her informing the customers that they open by 7 AM and close by 10 PM.She picked up her drink and drank it gently while she looked outside through the glass.Shortly after, the bell rang which indicated that someone had just entered and she hurriedly raised her head to see Liam who rushed in.Liam panted heavily and then clasped his hands togeth
AUTHOR’S POV. “Five years ago, I had a massive breakdown,” Hilda started. She had finished eating already and had rested a bit when she started. Liam sat in front of her and pinned his eyes on hers as he watched her talk. “I’d been dating this guy since college and we were together for four years before we broke apart. I was twenty- two when we broke up,” she said. “He betrayed me. He toyed with my feelings. He… he hurt me. So, since then, I made up my mind that I was never going to do relationships again, and I meant it… not until…” she swallowed and bore her eyes on him. “Not until I met you.” “Hilda…” “I like you too, Liam and I mean it, but…” she shook her head and then dropped it. Was it going to be worth it? If she bent her morals… her rules because of this man, was she never going to regret it? She wanted to love as much as she was being loved. She wanted to be loved as much as she loved. What if Liam hurts her too? What if he is not the kind of person she assumed h
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
