"What do you want?" He asked, his gray eyes staring straight into my soul and making me all bothered, I felt like he knew what I wanted before I even opened my my mouth. "I want them to regret it, I want them to miss the me, who listened to all their whim but was scorned," she said in a whisper, her voice was velvet and soft but the fire in her eyes told him otherwise, it was burning with lust for revenge. Sapphire's fiance invited her to his wedding with her best friend, a week to their wedding, nine years relationship went down the drain and she couldn't do anything about it. Her family praised his fiance because they hate her and he is richer. Betrayed, humiliated and wronged, she left home, never to return. Until she and her two kids were brought back by her grandmother two years later, her grandmother has already arranged a marriage with a multi billionaire for her. And she soon found out that the billionaire would do absolutely anything for her.
View MoreIt is doomsday and Sapphire knew that, she was dreaming and she really want to wake up so bad but it is like a force is keeping her down and letting her go though the torture all over again.
A scene flashed in front of her, it subsided and she saw her ex-fiance, Oliver Gray and herself. “Yeah, it doesn't matter if we have been together for nine years, the point is that we are breaking up now, I have Heather with me, this is the wedding invitation card, she would really love it if you were there, after all you are her best friend, and we are getting rid of those bastards inside of you, whether you like it or not because Heather requested it,” He said and the feeling of betrayal she felt that time came all over again in ten folds. He said the words, different days at different times but her brain always found a way to patch it up and summarize it into a sentence, but one thing was constant when he said all those words, it was that she had a wedding dress on and a broken leg from wearing heels. She wanted to tap herself and tell her to stand up and stop being such an idiot, she wanted to reach into the scene and punch the jerk squarely in the face, she wanted to shut his mouth up. Another scene flashed and she was standing with her family. She also looked pathetic at that time, couldn't she have braced up and told them off. “You are a disgrace to the family, we are sorry for the trouble Sapphire caused. We already took measures and she is in rehabilitation now. I disown you, you are no longer my daughter. What? Do you want to stain Melissa's reputation by having her come over to visit you in prison? Do as you are told and tell them that you did it. Who knew that my niece is a bad girl, why don't you get a tattoo in order to complete the look.” Those were from different people she used to call family, a bunch of people who would do anything for their own selfish gain, the humiliation and sadness weighed her down but she willed herself to break free from the torment. She was finally able to open her eyes as gasps fell from her lips, her face was wet with perspiration and her heart was heavy like a lid. She sat up and cleaned the angry tears that had made their way to the corner of her eyes. She looked around her room before she stood up and walked to the room next door. She stared at her kids for a long time before she moved to them. It must be because of her family's phone call that brought these memories back, the ones she wanted to forget so badly. —------------------------ Sapphire arrived at the airport and stared around, she exhaled and held on tight to her cross bag, since she left there are many things she missed about New York but the things she didn't miss about the place are more than things she missed. She walked towards the exit, mixing herself with the big crowd. She loves getting lost among people. She stood out for such a long time and it brought her downfall, she was scorned, humiliated and wronged, she was so high on the pedestal before she was pushed down harshly. She shook her head, no, she won't think of such gloomy thoughts. She came to New York just to hear whatever nonsense her family wants to say. Her phone rang and she held her luggage with her left hand and removed her phone from her pocket. She checked the ID and saw that it was an unknown number, she hesitated before picking it up. “Hello,” she said. “After all these years, I am finally able to hear your voice,” The person on the other side said and the Sapphire freezed. It has been two years since she heard her voice. “Melissa..” “I take it that you have arrived at the airport, the family summoned you and you came,” Melissa is her younger sister, she was older than her by a year and she is the golden feather of the Conrad family, what she says goes. Even though Sapphire was an idiot and had issues with Melissa, she didn't care that she had to ask for permission before she did anything in the house, whatever it is, spending money, getting out of the house, going to parties, everything. Melissa still had a problem with her, so she set her up. Arranged every bad thing that happened to her, setting up her best friend with her fiance whom she was together with for seven years and engaged to for two years. The sick part was that she succeeded and they broke her into a thousand pieces. “What do you want from me, Melissa?” She asked with a bored tone, already developing a migraine. “Maybe, you don't know but they are bringing you here in order to get you married to Mr. Alexander Aldine, the CEO of Triple A Group, an arranged marriage,” Melissa said in a cheerful voice, she was obviously enjoying this. “Maybe you don't know, but,” she mimicked her. “Your damn family can't control me anymore, I left it behind, you are a bunch of shameless betrayal,” she said and Melissa laughed but Sapphire could tell that it was a bit forced. “Even if it will bring the freedom of your twin?” She asked. Sapphire just stared before she hung up. She didn't want to deal with Melissa right now, they were forcing her hand, they were trying to trap her. She stared at the airport, maybe she should just run away to Gisborne, that is where she came from and it had been peaceful, no high class society, just her, her friends, her kids and her neighbors. She ran away from New York and went there when she was humiliated and couldn't take it anymore and now that she is just healing they call her here to do what? Get married to some Mr Alexander? No, they can't do this to her, Ruby is her twin brother and part of the Conrad family, why do they have to pin it on her, they had other ladies, why did she have to be the sacrificial lamb. She love Ruby, she honestly do, but this is like submitting to them all over again, those selfish family of hers.They failed her when they turned their back on her and suck up to Oliver’s family when HE was the one that broke up with her, simply because the Grays were richer than the Conrads. Someone bumped into someone, causing her to bump into someone, the person wrapped her hand around her waist to hold her, her luggage had fallen to the ground. She raised her head and the first thing that her eyes stuck to was the beautiful gray eyes that stared back at her, they were so beautiful, it had a moderate level of intensity and softness. She felt like he was staring straight into her soul, how can something look like it has thousands of secrets behind it and so expressive at the same time. They were in a world of their own, they were the only ones that were in the airport. It has been a long time since her heart raced because of the sight of someone but looking at this man’s extremely handsome face, she felt like she was seizing, skipping and beating hard. All at once!And Here we are!

Last time, it was her family signing a fake marriage contract, but this time, she was having a real engagement party.Alexander was talking with a the same man he was talking to that day, and was standing at that same spot, only this time, the spot where Melissa stood was acquired by Luci and Zayn, they were chatting heartily, a man tried to pass and almost bumped into Luci but Zayn quickly wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her to the side, they both talked to the man and resumed their conversation, but Zayn hands never left Luci’s waist which made Sapphire smile.Not too far from them were Tiara and Fiona who seemed to be having a serious conversation. Fiona was the one speaking while Tiara just stared at her.“You finally decided to show your face out here?” Mr. Aldine said and Sapphire laughed, it was a small and quiet laugh.“I am sorry for not visiting you since all this while,” Sapphire said.“I understand. You have been busy, besides I have the kids by my side most o
“The only thing I love the most about everything here is your ring, I mean, would you check out that beautiful thing?” Tiara who was dressed to perfection gushed, she bent beside Sapphire and held her hand up to her face, and she stared at the ring with a gooey look in her eyes. She had asked Sapphire to remove it to let her examine it but Sapphire had refused to do that.“You have been saying that you loved the ring in a thousand different phrases ever since you saw that ring on her finger,” Gladys said beside her, Sapphire didn’t know that someone could look so hot in a super short dress at an engagement party but she managed to rock it hard. Gladys rrolled her eyes at her friend who only pouted at her before turning back to the ring.“Just how much was it worth? Did you ask him?” Luci asked as she perched herself on the beautiful chair that Sapphire was sitting, she also stared at it in admiration. Luci had gone for the dark look with her floor length back dress that was slit all t
Headache shot up her head when she hit her head on the floor and she willed it to split apart in order to stop, she could only groan in her throat and curse Sapphire and her friends over and over in her head.She turned to her head and felt every single part of her body freeze, she didn’t even dare to blink, it would make too much noise and her body was particularly capable of that feat.Just a foot away from her were giant scorpions, they were huddled together at a spot and were unmoving, her eyes trailed upward and a gasp would have fell from her lips if she didn’t have that gag because she saw a snake crawled on the ground into a spot and came out of another opened one, that was when she saw the snake for what it was; a viper.Cold sweat covered her and her body started shaking in fear, her inability to run her way out of this dangerous ditch also made her terrified, it would be the end of her if she was attacked.She tried to move back only for back to slam heavily on what seemed
“You shouldn’t do this to me, if you do this to me you would be a murderer too,” Arielle said, desperately and Sapphire shrugged.“Doesn’t matter. We Conrad are known for being villainous already, if I emerged as a murderer, people won’t be shocked, they would be even glad that I got rid of you for them.” Sapphire said and nodded. “Here is what we would do. Try to convince me to not kill you, I am listening,” Sapphire gestured to her with her hands.“Aren’t you afraid of ending up in hell?” she blurted out and Sapphire stared at her with a dumbfounded expression, everyone paused what they were doing but Luci was the first person that burst into laughter, she doubled as she tried to control her laughter and catch her breath but she couldn’t stop herself.“What?” Sapphire asked in disbelief and she started chuckling before she started to laugh . Zayn was snickering from where he sat and staring at Arielle with the expression that screams ‘No, you didn’t just say that bitch.”Some of the
Arielle sat in the cell that was reserved for only ‘hardened criminals’ like her, that’s what everyone referred to her as, she even saw some of the prisoners flinched when she brushed her hand passed them.Even though they call her suspect in face of any camera they see, they treat worse than a murderer that has went to court and branded as on, they should at least picked her to court first.She thought about the day’s event and laughed out loud, maniacally and hysterically, the wardens at her door glanced at her once before they turned to resume their duties of staring, at least that was what she assumed, she only saw their eyes through the small space at the top of the iron door and she didn’t saw them again when they moved.Melissa had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Very good! That was what she had planned from the beginning of her plan, the one she drew when she was sixteen, that was the only plan that was to her aid. Even if Melissa hadn’t been in prison because she foolish
“With all of the solid evidence against Ms. Melissa Conrad, I hereby sentence her to life imprisonment, the money that she has now would be used to pay for the companies she damaged and the rest would be confiscated.” The judge said and Melissa just stared blankly at every single person in the court, her eyes met Sapphire’s and they both stared at each other solemnly for a bit.It was Melissa’s hearing and Sapphire went with almost all her friend, Luci, Tiara and Gladys, Claire was absent because she had something she needed to do at the gallery and Trisha had once again been asked to do some humiliating task by her mother-in-law, Sapphire hopes that she would be able to break free from their abuse soon and would stop at nothing to help, Tiara also assured that if they interfere in it, her in-laws would not do as much as grunt but Trisha would only smile and say that it was not yet time to make such a move, she wanted to wait till climax before executing which made Sapphire suspect th
Luci rushed to Sapphire who was sprawled on the ground with a blood stain on her stomach. She felt her breathing and saw that she was still alive.“Save Sapphire first, let's get her to the hospital! Zayn, get a car instead of standing there like an immobilized ant, Claire, get the first aid box,” she screamed out orders and Claire quickly nodded, running to the door at the speed of light, it was like her feet weren't touching the floor at all, Zayn also went out of her sight and some men advanced towards her to help carry Sapphire.She saw that Alexander hadn't moved from the same spot he was since the Arielle fiasco started, it made her gritted her teeth in irritation and despite the fact that she always tread cautiously and respectfully around the man, she didn't know when she snapped at the man angrily.“You wife is here in the pool of her own blood, dying and barely holding on to life because of the stupid thing she did well th this crazy woman,” she said, glared at Arielle who h
Sapphire wrapped her night robe around her tighter, it was pretty chilling out here but she felt that she needed to go on a walk to clear her head now, Melissa has a hearing in the court the next day and in front of her very eyes, she might be convicted for a crime Sapphire was sure that she had absolutely no idea of.It was pretty clear to everyone in the inner circle that it was Arielle that set her up, Brielle had confirmed that Arielle was indeed sighted at the premises of the prison at that night, her face was shown as she was using her signature face cap and mask, she had her hair well-kept in her cap and didn’t made any silly mistake like letting a strand of her hair remain in the murder scene, she had gloves and boots on and that’s why no DNA of her was found on the scene.Though there was no assurance that she would be able to get Melissa out of the prison if she interfered, she would at least get a reduced sentence of a punishment lighter than the initial one that she would
