Lahat ng Kabanata ng A One Night Stand To Remember: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Sapphire's POVMy whole body was aching. My thighs felt like they had run a marathon on a treadmill made of jelly, my arms like they had been lifting weights all night. My head was slightly pounding and I felt sore underneath. My eyes fluttered open, the blurriness still thick. I yawned, stretching my limbs out and rubbed my eyes, now half-awake. When I finally peeled my eyes wide open, the sunlight attacked me and I squinted before lifting my hands to block it.The memories of last night flooded my mind. I smiled and sighed, all of my insides as happy as my love glove. The night we shared would make even the most scandalous romance novel blush. Eric was a man all right but in bed, he was far from it. He sure knew how to leave a woman gratified and satiated. He'd mastered the art of lovemaking so well that I wondered how long it'd taken him to perfect his bedroom skills, or bathtub in this case.And then, I frowned when I thought of the number of women he must have screwed before me.

Sapphire's POVCora brought her hand to her cheek, the part where I'd just slapped. Her head was turned to the side for what seemed like minutes. She was frozen on the spot, staring into space as if trying to make sense of what had just happened. When it had finally clicked in her holed brain that I'd indeed slapped her, she faced me, her eyes now as red as her lipstick."You slapped me?" She fumed, caressing her cheek. Her whole face had turned red in fact."You're damn right I did," I snapped at her, my voice low and dangerous. I should've been scared of how I sounded right now. "And trust me, I won't hesitate to do it again if you dare to disrespect me one more time."I locked eyes with her, my heart pounding with anger, every fibre of my being pulsing with fury. What the hell did she think of herself? Who the hell was she to talk to me that way? What in the world gave her the right to speak of my relationship with Eric like tha? This woman had some nerves. And I blamed Eric for it

Sapphire's POVThe strange man's eyes widened as if he just realized I was naked and quickly looked away, turning to face Eric. I shuffled backwards and pulled the sheets, wrapping them around me. What on earth was going on here? Who the hell was this guy and what gave him the nerve to barge into my bedroom so late at night? He didn't even knock or say anything. He just strutted in like he owned the damn place. He shattered whatever fragile illusion of security I had left.Where are the stupid bodyguards when you need them?And worse, I let him touch me while I was naked! I just wanted the ground to open up right now and swallow me. I clutched the sheets around me tighter, taking another step backwards. I couldn't believe the audacity of this stranger, walking into our bedroom like he belonged there. My heart pounded against my chest, a cacophony of fear, anger, and confusion surging through my mind.I wanted to scream so badly, to demand answers, to kick this man out of here this ins

Sapphire's POVEric's voice was demanding and menacing when he asked that question. He gave me a deathly stare and I had to pause with what I was doing just to stare right back at him. I glared at him, agape, clutching the knife harder in my grasp. If I were a psychopath, I'd have driven it through his cold, stony heart and ripped it out. That'd teach him never to mess with me ever again.To say I was appalled by his stupid question was an utter understatement. I was livid. I was furious beyond words. How dare he insinuate that something was going on between his brother and me? The audacity! I felt my blood boiling, sizzling hotter than my steak right now, my temper reaching its boiling point. It took every ounce of self–control I had not to lash out at him right then and there.I felt insulted, infuriated and disrespected. What exactly did this man take me for? Seriously! Was he really accusing me of having something with his brother whom I only just met yesterday? That's insane! How

Sapphire's POVI couldn't believe what I just saw. I couldn't believe what was happening. Eric was in there with another woman! He was fucking another woman after driving me insane! He had betrayed me in the worst possible way, right in front of my eyes. All the pain, the hurt, the anger flooded through me like a tidal wave, crashing down on my already bruised heart.How could he do this to me? How could he throw everything we had, everything we shared for some meaningless sex? How could he betray me like this? How could he hurt me the same way Austin did?He knew how much I loved him. He knew it. I'd even confessed to him how I felt about him. It wasn't enough that he decided to trample on me these past few weeks, he was making a mockery of me and my love for him. I knew our relationship started out as a mere agreement which he'd initiated. But we'd long blurred the lines and it'd turned into something beautiful for us until he ruined it all with his stupidity and now...this!My hand
