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

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.“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

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

SAPPHIRE’S POV. “What do you mean?”My mouth trembled as Hilda said to me.A week had passed since I had visited my parents and I had not heard anything from them.I knew they ought to have called, but I also thought it was for the better that I had not heard from them.Maybe my threat worked on them and they assumed that Daniel was actually fond of me.The man that I have not even set my eyes on since that day.Earlier in the morning, I texted Daniel and told him I was visiting a friend since I assumed that he was not pleased that I went to my parents without informing him first.He did not reply, yet it was marked as read.What a snub.“The audition has been canceled,” she repeated.The upcoming audition was what I had been anticipating since forever and Hilda announcing to me right now was definitely not what I needed to hear at the moment.“What? It is coming up next month. How could they cancel it that way?” I frowned.“I don’t know why. I got the mail last night.”She was in ch
