I woke up as early as usual the next morning and then turned around to look at Emerald who was sleeping quite soundly for a person who slept on the floor.She could definitely sleep underwater.I did my morning business in the bathroom, dressed into a casual fit and as I was about to leave the room, I shook my head as I watched her sleep.It would not hurt if I woke her up to go to the bed, would it?I bent beside her and called her name gently. When she didn’t answer, I shook my head and looked at her face.This face was so opposite to her attitude whenever she was not sleeping.Right now, she looked so peaceful that anyone would assume she was as peaceful during the day.“You are a very stupid person and I hope you know that!” It took every bit of energy in me to not laugh at her pained, bittered word and kept mute till she was finally silent and probably asleep.There was no dull moment with this woman as she was so easy to tease and make fun of. She takes everything so seriously
I fluttered my eyes when I heard his last word and fondled my hand. I don’t have a choice?Does he need me to show him that I do have a choice?At times, I wonder how little this man thought of me to have said some words to me.If he knew I was Sapphire… if he knew how I was being treated in that house, then the disdain would be more than this.“You think?” I finally raised a brow as I stared at him intensely.“Dear wife, you have got no choice. When we get out there, I would advise you to stay on your best behavior and go with the flow. I do not want to hurt you,” he said and I sneered evidently at his words.“You do not want to hurt me? How much could you possibly hurt me? Would you hit me? Would you slap me hard across the face and…”“Don’t get on my nerves,” he cut me short.“I will do whatever I want and I do not need you to tell me what to do and what I should not do,” I said.“Emerald, you know what happens when you break the contract,” he said and rubbed his forehead.He looke
“I thought you wanted a kiss as you would not stop staring at my lips,” I moved away from her and stood upright after her outburst.Her face had turned red and I did not know if it was because of embarrassment or because she liked it.It was definitely not the latter.She looked like she was going to slap me across the face out of annoyance and I was prepared for it.Even though she was very easy to tease, she had quite a foul temper too.“Let’s go,” I finally said and resumed walking.It was after I took a few steps before she started to walk behind me.I walked slowly for her to meet with my pace and when she did I looked at her and she looked away hurriedly.“Don’t tell me you’re taking that seriously. It is just a kiss, wife,” I teased again and she threw her head in my direction.“Just a kiss?”“Is it not?” I raised a brow.“Whatever.”“Emerald,” I called and she didn’t answer me.Seems like my wife is mad at me.==As the party went on and Emerald and I had greeted almost everyo
EPISODE 21. I WILL HURT YOU.It was not something I had wanted to notice but I did eventually. Emerald has a pair of hazel eyes but right now, I was staring at something different.The pair of eyes I was staring at was almost familiar but yet very different.Those eyes fall between yellow… orange… and gold on the color wheel.I placed my hand on her chin and raised it slowly just to stare at it again. Her eyes were definitely different.She frowned and then moved away from me gently.“What are you doing?”“I should be asking you the same. What are you up to?” I asked.I don’t know if that was the perfect question I should have asked but I asked either way.Deep down, I had always thought that she was different and might as well be another person or perhaps had a personality disorder, but staring right at her now, I thought I might be right.“You are not her,” I said in a whisper and she shook her brows.“I am not who?”“You are not Emerald, are you? You are not the woman I was su
The moment I got behind the closed door, I allowed the wave of shivering that had been waiting to take over me to finally take over. My legs weakened. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my hand. When Magdalene had prepared to go to the grocery store, I offered to follow her as I was bored. I’ve been here for a week and I don’t think I have ever been bored my whole life. After the party that night, Daniel had left without a word and even Magy did not know when he was going to return. I didn’t see the need to use my lenses. I mean, he has not been home for three days and he was mainly the reason I was using it. It did not even seem like the woman was aware of it or anything. Entering the room and meeting Daniel had to be one of the most extreme jumpscares I had ever received in my entire life. I began to palpitate as my hands shook. However, when he finally mentioned it, I thought I was going to enter the ground because of the fear I was feeling. Yet, I stood on my ground.
At first, I was going to assume that she was his little sister. I mean, she looked like it. I was not sure of her age, but I knew I was older than her.However, when she gave me that look after she kissed him on the cheek, I knew that might not be the case.Finally, my eyes fell on the group of women who bowed as we entered and looked away again. Such gestures make me uncomfortable… so much.“I missed you so much that I thought I was going to die,” she said.Daniel grinned and caressed her hair. “You didn't die, thankfully.”“You think?” She pouted as they walked further into the room together.“I did not ask you to miss my wedding,” he said.She stopped walking and looked at me again. I raised a brow as I watched her look at me.“That’s right. She is your wife,” she sneered.“You truly got married,” she added, not tearing her eyes off me.I did not know what this look meant. However, one thing was certain. This lady did not like me.Daniel moved away from her and walked to the stair
I took a step back and swept my hair to the back, my chest rising, and falling.I needed help, because how on earth would I think that this man was attractive?It was as if he could read my mind. I knew he could see through me so I always tried to not react to anything he did or said to me.The way he looked at me whenever he talked was proof on its own. He wanted me to accept finding him attractive even if it was just by looking at me.“Did you find me sexually attractive right now, wife?”I finally collected myself and forced a laugh, “Find you attractive?! Please, don’t make me laugh!” “Am I wrong then? You do not find me attractive?” He asked and took a step towards me.“Stay back and get some fucking cloth on!” I pointed my index finger at him like I was warning him to not come any closer.He shook his head and turned around. As he walked to the bed, my eyes would not leave his body.He stopped beside the bed, picked the polo that was lying on it, and wore it.“Why did you enter
I curled my fist into a tight ball as I watched Emerald as she talked. I do not hit women, but I would not have hesitated to slap the words off her mouth.She was going to cheat too?She literally just did an open challenge and it pissed me off so much.She was going to sleep around because I do too? What effrontery! What made her think she could do such a thing?She bore her Amber eyes into mine after she finished talking and I did the same.She had stopped using the lenses since that time and I actually think these eyes were better.She looked innocent… and so naive. Not anymore.I always knew she was a slut who was just pretending to have memory problems or something.First, she was acting like she would pull up with whatever I wanted just because she wanted to marry me.If she was not okay with them, why had she accepted to do all those?It should not be my place either she fucks around?How dare she think she could do such a thing?Had she forgotten who she was married to?DANI
