AUTHOR’S POV.“What are you doing here?” Daniel asked Liam who walked in fully amidst laughter.“Emmy, are you seriously letting Daniel influence you into office romance?” He asked Sapphire instead.Liam was not aware that Emerald was Sapphire yet, and now that he just mentioned that name, Daniel hoped to tell him.“God, can you just look away?” Sapphire frowned and he laughed again.“Are you embarrassed that I caught you? I am sorry but I can not ignore things like this, trust me.”“It is your fault!” She snapped at Daniel who only watched.“How?”“I told you to let go of me before anyone walks in but you would not!”“Come on, Emmy. I am not anyone. I am your husband’s best friend,” he reminded her with a smile on his face.“So what if you are? You are not cutting me slacks. You should understand that he forced me to do this and that I would not do it on purpose,” Sapphire said.“Hold on. That's not the main discussion here. Since when did you start working here?!” He widened his eye

DANIEL’S POV.“I just wondered for a second if your boyfriend sent it to you,” I shrugged my shoulders off.Hoping my comment would annoy her and make her say the truth, I frowned as she walked past me, headed to the direction she dropped the boxes and picked them up.“Why should you bother yourself with stuff like that? I thought we were in an open relationship,” she said as she walked to the closet.After she was out of sight, my lips pressed together in anger, and I breathed out in fear. The thought of the unknown was something I really loathed.I walked out of the room and then began to surf my phone as I returned to my room.I dialed a number and the receiver picked it up almost immediately.“Sir!” “We are reopening the investigation unit again,” I said.“This time, I want the best detectives on this case. I need to find this motherfucker. Come meet me in my office tomorrow and talk more about it,” I said and dropped the call instantly.As I entered my room, I switched on the lig

SAPPHIRE’S POV.I watched his facial expression change as I just said to him and hurriedly pressed my lips together before my face gave me away. I looked away from him and turned around to leave his room.If he was going to be cruel, I would prove to him that I was more stubborn.When I got to my room where the maids were starting to carry my stuff out, I stopped for a second before I finally entered the room.I knew it was pointless telling them to stop, they only listened to Daniel after all.I walked to my closet, picked a gown from one of the remaining dresses there, and wore it, returning the shower coat back to where it belonged.“Are you okay?”It was just the butler in the room as the other maids had left with things they had carried from my room.“You bet I am not,” I breathed out.“It will be fine. It’s just sharing rooms, right? Don’t let it weigh you down.”“You don’t understand. I feel so horrible right now. He always wants things to go his way and I always have no say i

DANIEL’S POV.I did not bother hiding the smile on my face as I scooted to the side for Sapphire to enter.I closed the door behind me and watched her as she moaned in satisfaction and then collapsed on the bed. She definitely must have forgotten that I was looking at her.The previous night, it had taken everything in me to not finally succumb to the woman.It got to a point in the middle of the night when I started telling myself that I better let her have her way.When I came to the living room to cover her with a duvet, I had sat on the couch across from her till dawn before I hurriedly returned to my room.Because of her, I had not taken a wink of sleep. There was no way I could when I knew that she was alone in the cold room.I had hoped that she would give in and if she did not, I knew I was going to give up and return her stuff to her room.For a person who vowed deeply last night, I did not expect to see my wife in the morning, looking like a stray dog.She finally got up fr

DANIEL’S POV.I felt my lips twitch upwards and my cheek flushed.I don’t know why she said those words.‘I could not have asked for a better husband.’ But it made me quite happy that at least… for once, she liked that I was her husband.I wrapped my arm tightly around her waist and snuggled her closer. While I inhaled her strawberry scent, I heard her mutter in my ear and I listened.“You might not know, but this… taking my side might actually be the kindest gesture another person has shown me.”“It has always been me. And my best friend whom I know wanted the best for me but could not do beyond her power. You… you don’t know how happy you made me.”Sapphire saying this to me was not a sight or word I would ever expect from her.Apart from the fact that she was so cold to me, she made sure to never depict herself to me.This was not something that I had imagined would ever happen and now that it was happening, I felt like never letting her get away from my arms.She finally disentangl
