In the morning, Sapphire stretched like a lazy cat to pick up her phone.
"Hello..." Her tired voice muttered.
"What did Jade say? " Zoey asked, arranging some old clothes on the models, in her boutique.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Same meowed.
"Wait, did you two sleep together? Don't tell me that you guys had sex!" Zoey raised her voice over the phone.
"What?" Sapphire lazily pulled herself out of bed. "Oh, shut it! Bye..." She cuts the call and fell back to sleep.
In a twinkle of an eye, Sapphire's sleepy eyes opened as she quickly jumped out of bed, trying to remember what had happened last night.
She knew Jade gave her a bottle of water and she rejected it. But what exactly did they discussed about? She wondered.
"I... definitely feel like we talked about something important." She told herself as she pondered on the thought.
Ding-dong! She heard the doorbell, ring.
Sapphire checked through a s
In an instant, he took his phone and scrolled through it for a while. About to dial Sapphire's number, he stopped in between, to the tightness in his muscles.'She might not pick my call or she might be probably busy with something else. I don't want to disturb her. Maybe I should just work these worries, off my head.' Jade pondered as he took the next turn to the direction of his hotel.Full of seriousness, the CEO walked into his hotel. Meanwhile, Ace just had a meeting with some guests as they met each other. Jade wanted to walk away as he has a lot going on in his mind but Ace stopped him, midway."You look pissed. Is everything alright?" Ace asked in concern.As if Ace was crossing the line this time, Jade gave him an eyeful glare like a lion whose tail is being stepped on.With this, Jade walked away but Ace broke into a deceitful laughter that made Jade halt at the moment.
"No... I'm fine." Her voice unexpectedly raised a little. "I mean... Thank you." She concealed it with a gentle smile."But you owe me... Won't it be nice if I help you home at least? It's not as if I'm asking you for your contact or something." He whined like a little child. "I'll just drop you home and that's it. You won't see me again, I promise."Sapphire wanted to deny but she don't want to disappoint him twice. Perhaps, he looked witty and friendly."Okay, fine. Let's go." Sapphire replied Denver as he excitedly stretched his hand to her shopping bag."Let me help you with this." He begged."No... Bu-""No buts. Don't worry. I'll take you home." He insisted with a cheerful smile as he collected the bag from her and placed it in the passenger's seat.What if Jade sees me?" Sapphire asked herself. Whatever! It's not as if we are married to that guy tha
"Jade! what are you even saying? Are you alright?" Sapphire looked startled at him.She never imagined that Jade would ever raise his voice at her. Although, Sapphire felt a stab in her heart. She tried to console him but he moved away."Just leave me alone, Fire! I'm so disappointed in you right now. I'm just speechless. You know what? I can do better without you so fuck off!" Jade rolled his enraged eyes at her, as tears escaped from the corners of his eyes. He wiped it off immediately and sniffled away with his face turning red out of burning anger."Jade!" She called after him but he rushed out of her apartment and walked downstairs. Sapphire, in her pink night gown ran after him but he got into his car and zoomed off, disappointedly without even turning back at her."Jade! Where are you going?" Sapphire called and she ran out to catch up with him but she couldn't meet up. It was too late.... She
00:12 a.mSapphire had cried herself to bed when she heard a sharp knock on the door. She woke up immediately but what she saw was just unbelievable.Lucas holding Jade to stand upright. With stains of alcohol, puke and blood on his white shirt. As if she was dreaming, a line of shiver ran down her spine. Sapphire felt like floating in an ocean of water, seeing Jade in that state."Oh my!..." She went dumfounded. "What happened to him?"Sapphire allowed Lucas to held him in while she closed the door behind them. Her lips shivered in total shock as she watched him from the distance. She couldn't help but her eyes caught hot tears, streaming down his sad eyes that were half opened."F...fire." He muttered and dropped to the ground, unconsciously"He got drunk and almost killed a stripper." Lucas explained before he placed Jade on the bed but he fell
***Chloe paid Lucas a visit in his office. It was clear that her visit was unexpected but Lucas welcomed her in, anyway."What brings you here?" He asked immediately she took her seat."I was curious about how Jade really feels. And also, I know you two are close friends." She muttered, lovingly in her cute voice.Lucas then took a seat facing her as they discussed further."Jade is an amazingly, skilled businessman." Chloe started. "And yet, he's ignoring me and the business offer that comes with me. It makes no sense."With this, Lucas blushed a little as his lips settled in a serious look at her."In case you don't know, Jade get tons of offers like yours.""But still, not that woman. I mean Saph or whatever name she's tagged with." She rolled her eyes at the thought. "I'm sure the Jade I know wouldn't have even glanced at her if not f
***The room as dark as sullen clouds before the sun. Huge and well furnished. Sapphire's blurry vision cleared up a little but she gently held her head that was aching like hell. A soft groan escaped through her dried lips. She couldn't help but to wonder, where on Earth she was. The master-sized bed she laid on was bigger than the one she is used to.Sapphire gently pulled her twinging body up and checked through the windows. The sky was beginning to brighten with daylight as it was just dawn. She pepped through the transparent glasses that wasn't clear enough but it looked as if she was in a mansion or something. Sapphire went back to the bed, noticing she's in her unknown place without her phone or hand bag. She rushed to the door immediately and pulled it as gently as possible not to attract other's attention. The door slides open as she passed through, walking out of the room—tiptoeing. Sapphire find her way and decided to esca
***Jade walked out of the police station when a call came in."Hello dear." He placed his phone behind his ear for easy hearing."Haven't you seen her yet? I couldn't sleep all night because of this. Her parents called me... They're freaking worried." Confusion laced Zoey's face as she spoke."Oh my gosh!" Jade hissed out in a grim. "I just reported the case to the police. I hope they find any trace soon because she felt her phone behind. Or... do you have any idea where she might be?!"I have no fucking Idea, Jade. Sapphire is kind and gentle. She don't keep secrets and she lived a very fulfilled and satisfied life before she met you! I'm a big fan of your romance story but I'm going to end it if I find out you're really behind this! Sapphire is her parents only child, Jade! If they find out about this what do you expect me to say to them?!"Jade's mind went blank for a
***The water was colder like Ice. Sapphire sat inside the bathtub and cried as if the water was peeling off her skin. She shivered in tears, crying in the loneliness for staying away from home without knowing if she would be able to make it out alive or not.Before the kidnap, Sapphire had planned to meet Jade and tell him her true feelings about him so far. That she thought about him and their moments together but right now, she even miss him more.'Why does it have to be me?' Sapphire thought as she cried aloud in her mind.Her hands fetched an amount of water as she scrubbed it through over her coal-lined mascara she'd put on her face the day before. Although, it was the first time in forever she'd used that beauty products, it's such a shame that Jade couldn't even see her in it. The thought of Jade poured through her mind like a magical pixie dust— She was addicted to.After a
