A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 17: It’s A Proposal
Sapphire’s POV“Let go of me! Let me go!” I screamed and began to push Mr Donovan off me, my hands coming in between me and him. They were resting on his chest and my fingers brushed the opening of his shirt, creasing his skin, as I tugged myself out of his strong hold. But my efforts were useless.“Let go of me!” I screamed again.Mr Donovan sucked in a harsh breath and exhaled, his face closely positioned to mine. His breath was so hot, I felt it cascading on my face and touching the tip of my nose. It was perfect for the cold that had been nagging me since the previous day and oddly, I enjoyed the warmth of it a little bit. Keyword – a little bit.But that didn’t change the fact that he was here to get revenge, that he was here to in fact kill me or worse? What could be worse than being killed? – I thought to myself and didn’t fail to give myself a mental smack. I was really losing it this morning and only one person was responsible for that.I wiggled in Mr Donovan’s arms like a w
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 18: Will You Marry Me?
Sapphire’s POV “Will you marry me?” “Will you marry me?” “Will you marry me?”Mr Donovan’s words resounded in my ears. I froze on the spot While these words kept echoing from one ear to the other. I must’ve heard him wrong – I thought. There was no way Mr Donovan could have said that. I most definitely had heard him wrong.“What did you say?” I asked him for clarity. It came out as a mere whisper hinted with a little stutter. I wasn’t sure if he heard me so I decided to ask the question again.“I want you to marry me,” Mr Donovan replied in a stern voice, shutting me up before I could even open my mouth to ask him what I had intended to ask him.My mouth dropped open wide and my eyes, even wider. He said it! He really said it! Then, I hadn’t heard him wrong the first time. What in the world was going on?I was still staring at Mr Donovan agape, completely dumbfounded and glued to the ground on which I was standing. Hearing him say those words again were even worse, more stupefying an
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 19: The Confession
Sapphire’s POVOkay! Today had got to be the most unbelievably ridiculous day I had ever experienced. It beat the day Austin cheated on me by a small margin and perhaps the day I had let the annoying, rich bastard standing in front of me get in between my legs. Today was just too hysterical and I was finding it difficult to make sense of anything that was happening right now.Mr Donovan had yet again bridged the distance between us when he said he’d fallen in love with me. He had taken three steps closer to me and the unreadable expression shimmering in his eyes had been replaced by yet another unreadable one. And I was starting to find the whole situation laughable. Scratch that, laughable was a complete understatement.What in the name of Zeus was going on here?“Sapphire,” Mr Donovan called in a soft, breezy tone and reached for my hand.He took hold of my left hand and clasped it in his hands, stroking me there with his thumb while watching every reaction that appeared on my face.
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 20: Enough Nonsense For One Day
Sapphire’s POVI backed away from Mr Donovan and turned sidewise, sucking a harsh breath in an attempt to not flare up or lose my cool. This guy was really getting on my nerves and this was a fact that couldn’t be overemphasized. I just wished I could put my hands around his neck and strangle the living daylight out of the annoying son of a motherless bitch.Yes, I said it!I tightened my fists in a ball and released yet another harsh breath before biting my lower lip to stop myself from saying what was really on my mind. I’d have gone all-out on raining cusses at him if I hadn’t done that.“Not on your life,” I opted to say instead, looking him dead in the eye and folded my arms, tapping my left foot involuntarily on the ground. “Not in your wildest dreams,” I added a little bit more spitefully.What the freaking hell does he think of himself?Mr Donovan tilted his head and a sinister smirk appeared on his stupid face, his stupid good-looking face. “Oh trust me, tigress, you don’t wa
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 21: A Contract, It Is
Sapphire's POV "Oh, is that so?" I asked Mr Donovan, rolling my eyes, my facial expression evident enough to indicate how bored I was already of this neverending, nerve-wrecking conversation. "Yes," he said simply, his hand still tightly encircled around my wrist that felt way too small in his strong hold. "Well, in that case, I'm not interested. I have no interest or whatsoever in being your wife. Do you hear me?" I told him straight to his face. "Even if I tell you we both stand to benefit from this partnership?" In that instant, one of my brows arched and oddly my muscles relaxed a bit. "What do you mean by that?" "I'll explain everything, tigress. Just get in the car."I looked at him without blinking for a while and then darted my lingering eyes to his car. We were standing in front of his car and my eyes reeled over it. The Veneno had a large grille at the front which was flanked by two narrow LED headlights. "Fine," came ripping out of my lips and immediately, Mr Donova
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 22: Hospital Call
Sapphire's POVI hustled down the hallway of the city hospital, my heart pounding and my brain sending ice-cold tremors coursing through my veins. I felt my intestines clenching and the pit of my guts being weighed down by a painful gall. I almost couldn't believe it when I got the news. Ruby had slumped and slipped unconscious last night!I raced through the familiar building, the hospital was a large, modern facility with sterile white walls and floors that gleamed under the bright fluorescent lights. The air was as always heavy with the scent of disinfectant and the sound of beeping machines and rushing footsteps echoing down the long, sterile hallways.It bustled with activity and as I kept rushing through the place, I felt my mind being thrown back to 5 years ago. I had always detested hospitals not just because the smell made me gag and want to throw up in my mouth but also because I had only ever had bad memories here. The last time I was in this very hospital, it was a month a
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 23: Husband Dearest
Sapphire's POVMr Donovan had offered to drop me off when I got the phone call about Ruby being admitted at this hospital but for some reason, I turned him down and insisted on coming here alone. And I thought I did but I could see now that I was wrong. He had followed me all the way here and had even gone as far as covering all the medical expenses.How the heck did he find out about Ruby? Did he speak with Doctor Anderson? Of course, it must be, I thought. Mr Donovan must have gone to the doctor while I was sitting with Ruby, drowning in my thoughts to settle her medical bills. But why did he do that?Mr Donovan's eyes caught mine and the look on his face revealed he'd realized that I had found out about what he did. He took his eyes off me and returned them to the girl who was with him. She looked way younger than I was and was dressed like she had absolutely no business being in a hospital or any place alike. She was a busty strawberry blonde girl covered in tattoos from her neck
A One Night Stand To Remember Chapter 24: Ruby With The Strongest Heart
Sapphire's POVRuby's eyes flickered as she sat up on the plush king-sized bed, her little fragile fingers clutching the pink satin sheets. Her back was propped up against one of the fluffy pillows I had put in that spot and her blonde hair had been styled into a neat bun by Gwen. The doctor had said she could be moved into the VIP room before the operation and hence, I agreed in a heartbeat.I was certain being in such a luxurious, first-class hospital room would make her ecstatic and I was right. She loved every inch of the place. She couldn't believe her eyes when we moved her here and I couldn't either. The room was decorated in soft pastel colours, with a large window overlooking a beautiful garden. The walls had beautiful and colourful paintings fit for a girl her age and posters of some cartoon characters were plastered on them, adding a cheerful touch to the place.Ruby had woken up in the morning a few hours just before Gwen and Jamila had arrived. I told them how Mr Donovan
