DANIEL’S POV.I slid my hand under her top and rubbed my hand up her bare back and realizing that she was wearing no bra underneath the top, I felt my dick hardened.I did not know when this was going to stop as the woman kept kissing me with every energy in her.Finally, I slowed down, removed my hand from her back, and settled my hands on her waist.I broke the hug slowly and as painful as it could be for me.I wanted to keep kissing her and I feared that it could lead to more than a kiss. What if she was totally out of her mind and I did that to her? She would probably hate me forever.I tapped her back gently as I broke the kiss, and then raised her chin up.“Emerald, are you okay?”Her eyes dilated as she looked at me and she took a step back unconsciously. She must have snapped out of it.“I… I am sorry, I…” she stuttered.I held her hand and moved her closer to me again then waited till she looked at me.She kept her head bowed for a while before she finally looked at me agai
AUTHOR’S POV.After Daniel left Sapphire’s room, the woman exhaled deeply and shook her head at her vulnerability.Remembering she had just kissed the man and acted weak in front of him without minding what he was going to think of her, she tightened her eyes shut and pulled the duvet over her head.“Jesus Christ, Sapphire,” she groaned when she remembered asking him to love her also.Of course, she was hurt, and that was the reason she had acted that way, but, had she not gone too extreme?As her mind pictured Daniel’s face, she felt her cheek turn hot and she bit her lower lips gently.She thought she knew everything about the man but that was wrong as he proved her wrong.The man was so mysterious and unpredictable, God knows that much. He acts cold, and at times, he acts like he does not give a damn about her but with what happened earlier, she almost assumed that Daniel was another person.He showed it that he was worried and he even promised to hurt whoever hurt her.Those lines
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“I don’t care if she knows. She does not get to carry my baby. Never.”My hands curled in a tight fist and I pressed my lips at the remark Daniel had just made.If I had known I would be walking into something like this, I might have just slept in my room.When the man he was talking to looked around and his eyes fell on me, he stiffened in shock and turned to nudge Daniel that I was there.Hurriedly, the man turned around and when he saw me, his eyes widened in shock.I did not know what was more infuriating, the fact that he was saying all of this to his friend, or the fact that HE ACTUALLY SAID IT!Why should I get hurt when anyone disrespects me when my husband disrespects me first?He acts like he was all of it earlier and now, he sat beside his friend and then belittled me in such a manner.Jesus Christ, Daniel was so two-faced and that scared me a lot!He literally acted like the best person of the year earlier in my room. He soothed me and tucked me in my bed.T
DANIEL’S POV.“You are so two-faced and horrible!”I snapped my brows in total confusion as Sapphire snarled at me.It was past dinner and the two of us had just watched Liam leave after we finished dinner.The two of them had practically spent the rest of the day in the indoor cinema in the house and watched movies.At first, I thought I could join them since I had nothing to do, but soon got irritated by the sight of what they were watching.They were watching a horror movie and the two of them kept jumping and screaming each time a scary scene popped up.No one forced them to watch, right?Still, they made sure they finished it and then watched another.I left the space for them and went to my office upstairs and resumed my work. Whenever Liam came to visit, he made sure I did nothing as he would keep talking or even make us play video games which he had taught me years back.I suck at literally everything outside work and even movies do not excite me.I am sure Liam felt proud of
SAPPHIRE’S POV.Slapping this man was not the plan, maintaining my anger was.I had never felt so insulted that I ended up feeling so insecure about my body and this was first.I wanted to run to my bed and wrap my duvet over my body but I knew that was not the next thing to do.I was never going to understand Daniel and the earlier I realized that, the better it would be for me.He almost got me confused and I almost went delusional, thinking things were finally turning out well and just like every time, he disappointed me again.I should not have been disappointed. No, I should have never opened the room for such feelings.I raised my hand again to slap his other face but he soon held my wrist, stopping me halfway. My eyes radiated in anger as I pinned my eyes on his and he watched me back with an unreadable expression.He pulled me closer to him, this time so hard that my chest slammed on his.I composed myself as our chest joined together and he made no intention of letting go. I
SAPPHIRE’S POV.“Are you okay, ma’am?” I raised my head as I heard the driver ask and breathed out.I glanced at him through the rear mirror and nodded my head.“Sure. I am good.”I returned the picture to the box and as I prepared to wrap it back, my brows snapped together as I wondered where I had seen something like this.I was sure that I had seen a box like this before but did not know where.Was it a person I knew who sent it?If not, why does it seem familiar?But then again, I could have seen a box like this anywhere. However, the same design?Maybe I was thinking about it too much, and maybe not.My eyes fell on the rear mirror again and squinted my brows as my eyes met with the driver’s.Was he watching me to give reports to Daniel?Oh. Daniel.I returned to look at the box in my hand and then I remembered. I had seen this box in Daniel’s hand.On the night he came to my room, he entered with a box with this kind of packaging.The person who gifted him that box had sent this
SAPPHIRE'S POV.No matter how hard I had thought about it, that was my conclusion.I was not going to let go of Daniel and that was it.For once, I was going to be selfish.I did not like him, he did not like me too, and that was good.From the moment I knew that Emerald was dating Aidan, I decided to take everything from her also.Since I did not have what it takes to be like her, I could at least take her place in that house.The person I ought to return to after this was over was Aidan and that was no longer possible as he was off-limits. I would not return to a person like him, especially with the evidence I had seen.At least, it was better to stay with Daniel’s family. His parents liked me, his sister, and his friend. That was enough on my part. I would not want to return to this home to resume with the injustice.This was what I should have done from the start. Rebel.However, now that I could, I was not going to give up easily.“You are going to live as who?” He asked and sto
DANIEL’S POV.I was at work when I received a call from the driver I had designated for Sapphire whenever she wanted to go out.Even though she had never gone out on her own since she moved in, I knew a day was going to come when she would need to.I had ordered the man sternly to make sure to drive her and be on alert whenever she was going out.“Sir, I just brought Mrs. Preston to her family house,” he said as soon as I placed the phone in my ear.Finally, she visited her home. I had wondered if she was never going to visit her parents and now that she finally visited them, I nodded my head.“Fill me in on everything, and make sure to drive gently,” I said and ended the call.I had told him to update me on everything that might happen today, but what I was not expecting was for him to tell me that my wife looked pissed when she got out of her parents’ house.She did not even spend up to half an hour before she came out again and I thought that something was wrong.“You did not know
