“You sound like you are proud of her,” Alexander said and Sapphire nodded her head.
“You make it sound like it is a bad thing,” she said, tilting her head to one side.“You are insufferable!” He exclaimed and turned to the kids who were still at each other's throat. “Stop bickering, you would give your mom a headache,” he told them.“You don't hear me complaining,” Sapphire said and Alexander scoffed.“Are you encouraging them? To continue fighting?” Alexander asked and Sapphire rolled her eyes at the dramatic man.“Playing, not fighting, playing” Sapphire said and the kids moved closer to her before sitting beside them.“You should get up soon, we have been waiting for you all this while, you have been sleeping since yesterday,” Andrea mumbled and Sapphire turned to stare at the kids, Andrew nodded in confirmation.“Yeah, we were,” Andrew affirmed.“You have to learn how to do things without me, I am going toSapphire stood at the stairs and let out a sigh when she saw Matthew who was sitting on the couch. She didn't want to get involved with most of the Conrads.Why can't they just leave her alone, she just wants to make her kids happy for now, why can't they just do the honors of doing her alone.Alexander stared from Sapphire to the guy on the couch and back at Sapphire, he wondered who he was to make Sapphire sighed like that.Even though she only considered him a friend, he felt quite possessive of her and didn't want to see any man who had ulterior motives around her.“Who is he?” He asked Sapphire, gesturing to the man who was still oblivious of their presence.“Matthew,” She said shortly.“Matthew…..?” He asked trailing off and Sapphire turned to look at him, she wondered what the man was asking. She moved her gaze to Claire, who was standing behind them.She saw a small smile on her lips, Claire wriggled her brow when her eyes met Sapphire's. Sapphire raised a brow at her and Clai
“This is Alexander, my husband,” Sapphire said instead, pointing to Alexander who was patting the kids head.“Oh, I see…” he said with half attention, he seemed to be thinking about another thing.“So what do you have to say to me?” She asked with a raised brow.“Can we discuss it privately?” He asked, staring at Claire and Alexander.“Okay,” Sapphire said, she turned to Alexander. “I would be back in a bit,” She told him and he nodded .“Come this way,” Sapphire said and led Matthew into the garden, the man followed him like a lost puppy.She sat on the chair that was in the garden and he sat down beside her.“Grandma told me to tell you to come over to the house, she had something to discuss with you, something about asking you to join the family company,” Matthew said, and Sapphire raised a brow at him.“And why would I do that?” Sapphire asked and Matthew sighed.“She thinks that since you are not dating or engaged to Oliver and you are not working in his company, you should come
Alexander and the kids stood at the window, looking over the garden and watching as Sapphire and Matthew discussed.“What do you think that man wants?” Andrew asked.“Who knows? Mom said that he is part of the Conrad family, he also said that he has a message for her from the rest so we just wait and watch.” Andrea replied, staring intently at the man.“Why is he asking about our dad though, I don’t see how that is any of his business,” Andrew said, and Andrea nodded.“What do you think would happen if your dad shows up?” Alexander asked and Andrea stared at him in confusion.“Aren’t you our dad?” Andrea asked and Andrew rolled his eyes.“He is talking about our birth father, mom called it bio- something,” Andrew said.“Biological,” Alexander said and Andrew nodded.“Yes, that is the word!” He confirmed.“It depends on who the man is, if you turned out to be our father then we would stay,” Andrea said and Andrew nodded, Alexander raised a brow at the kids.“Though the chance is pretty m
Sapphire stared at the screen in disbelief, her brain could not comprehend the view she was seeing.“What….what is that?” Sapphire asked Maxwell and the guy sighed.“What the hell are they talking about? I didn't do anything, I haven't been to a club in three years, talk less of working there as a stripper,” “I really believe you. Believe me when I say I don't agree with them, I know you are not the one but there are videos and pictures of you that prove it right and it is really you, Sapphire. Anyone could see that,” Maxwell said and pressed his phone for a while before dropping it in front of her.“This is going to hurt you but you have to see this,” Maxwell added and after the ad that was displaying on the phone was over, a news anchor popped up on the screen.“Sapphire Eva Conrad is the first daughter of the Conrad family, a family that has been wealthy for ages, she is engaged to Mr Oliver Gray but recently it has been discovered that she is the worst of all species. Even though
Alexander pushed Matthew away from Sapphire and held her in her arms, he tried to move closer but he glared at him.“Don't try to move closer, stay where you are,” He gritted out, glaring daggers at the man.She wondered what he had said or done to trigger Sapphire's past, the man lowered his hand while still staring at it.“I would take my wife away now,” He told him and he nodded. Alexander turned to go but Matthew held him by the arm which made the man turn to look at him.“Can we have a discussion after you drop her in the room?” He asked and Alexander scoffed.“Can you get out of my property right now?” He asked in return and walked away with Sapphire in his hands.“What the—-” Matthew said and scoffed before walking away, he got into his car and sat on the car seat, he remembered how Alexander held Sapphire and jabbed his fist on the steering angrily.The man didn't like her, he is sure of that, he probably just wants to use her and her kids, especially her kids because he can't
How are you feeling now?” Alexander asked as he helped Sapphire sit on the bed.“Do you still feel dizzy?”Sapphire stared at the worried expression on his face and couldn’t help but let out a small smile. It was cute to see him look so worried, the big bad billionaire is fusing over nothing.“I am alright, just a little bit of memories I don’t want to remember,” She replied, and Alexander stared at her for a while before nodding in agreement.“I should prepare something for you to drink, I totally forgot, let me text Alyssa, I think she is downstairs, what kind of drink do you want? Or should I …..” He said but Sapphire wasn’t listening, is he really worried about him?“Do you not want to ask me what kind of memories trigger those reactions?” Sapphire asked with a raised brow and Alexander stopped what he was doing.“Of course I want to know, I have decided that you would be the one to tell me—“ He said but Sapphire cut him off.“That is what I am trying to do, sit. I am ready to tell
“Hello, I am Sapphire Finley, it is nice to meet you and I hope that we will all get along,” Sapphire said, bowing her head, as a form of greetings but all those who are present in the room just stared at her like she is most absurd thing they have ever saw.Sapphire grinned broadly, all her teeth on display and adjusted the bug round glass she used, while adjusting her hair that was covering her eyes and putting it behind her ears.She was wearing a big faded jean with a white top that looked like an obvious favorite. She wore a black jacket and carried a cross bag across her chest, dividing her front into two and was wearing a white sneakers.“Uhm….. welcome to the company, as you can see SJAY is not a super popular company with unlimited number of people, but it is quite well known among the people and we would have a breakthrough soon, so you should get ready for intense thinking when the time comes,” A woman who was in a formal suit said, and Sapphire nodded, still smiling like
“Mr. Oliver got a private investigator to find things out about Mrs. Aldine, most especially, the things she did after she left New York.” Nate read to Alexander from the file in front of him.“Why would he do that?”“I guess that he saw the she is his new strategic planning manager, so he wants to know as much as possible,”“Idiot had to follow the rule of keeping your enemy closer, doesn’t he realize that it also makes it possible for the enemy to keep him closer too?” He asked rhetorically.“Buy over that private investigator, I want you to analyze whatever he takes to Oliver and filter it,”“Already did that,” He stretched the file in his hand to the man and Alexander flipped through the pages, not really reading what was written on it.“What is this?” He asked and Nate adjusted his tie.“This is a copy of the report that the private investigator submitted to Mr. Gray, unfortunately he had submitted it before we caught a hold of him. He told him to investigate who Ms. Sapphire met i
