Chapter thirty-one(ten billion dollars)Sapphire's Point Of View:"I'm done," I whispered.He smirked before setting his MacBook aside. He then chuckled with his eyes closed.“Princess, you never fail to amaze me all the time. How naive.” He said, his voice as cold as ice.“What do you mean? Is this some kind of joke to you? I'm tired and done. You have no human feelings, how do you expect me to do this? I forgot to prepare my resignation letter,” I retorted.He laughed, pulling out the drawer. He pulled out a cheque book and fiddled with his pen before pressing the pen on the cheque, inscribing something on it. He tore the paper away from the book and placed it on the table.TEN BILLION DOLLARS.“Support your family with it and quit messing around. You think I'd let you go. The debt isn't what bounds us together. It's the contract and you wouldn't dare breach it!” He replied before placing his legs on the desk top, crossing them.“Or what?" I asked.“Wanna see? Then breach the cont

Chapter thirty-three(stepfather)Sapphire's Point Of View:My eyes hit the sunlight as they fluttered open. I groaned, squinting my eyes before flipping over to reach my phone on the nightstand.I grabbed it and fixed my gaze on the screen.10:03AM!!“Oh my! I'm so cooked when I get to work!!” I exclaimed as my eyes landed on Landon's message from 9am, asking where I was.I sprang out of bed and threw my phone on the nightstand, fleeing into the bathroom.It was barely five minutes and I was out of the bathroom again, dashing into my walk-in closet.I grabbed a black trouser and a white long sleeved shirt to match the official dress style.I slipped on my trousers and my shoes next right after buttoning my shirt which looked more like wrinkled toilet paper.I tossed my phone into my bag and found my way down the stairs, my shoes clinking against the stairs.Mum wasn't in the living room as usual today, but that didn't matter, what mattered more was what excuse I would give to Landon.

Chapter thirty-five(let her go)Sapphire's Point Of View:“Raphael?!” I yelled.They all saw my face immediately. Raphael's teeth gritted as he watched the betrayal written on my face.“Sapphire. Get in. Let me explain." He said in such a sly voice as if he couldn't care less.I shook my head, raising my body fully. "You monster! You traitor!!".One of his men grabbed his gun slowly, thinking I didn't notice it.Immediately, I took to my heels. I wasn't going to be killed, not yet at least.I heard their footsteps behind me. I looked behind me and they were just a few feet apart and my feet were starting to get tired.I wasn't good at sports. I wish I was, in case of situations like this but it was too late to wish.“Sorry!" I shouted to a woman who I just hit in the shoulder.I ran through the crowd on the street. Looking back again, the men were starting to slack behind and I couldn't see their faces through the crowd which meant they couldn't also see me.I used the opportunity and

Chapter thirty-seven(wedding betrayal) Sapphire's Point Of View: I gasped as I held onto my cheek, whispering a curse. I was so lucky Landon didn't invite the whole of the USA to our wedding or I would literally just bury myself alive from embarrassment. I wanted to hit her back so badly but I held myself back, for the sake of respect and peace even if it meant I would be humiliated. “Are you okay?” Landon asked, looking at my face. I nodded, blinking back my tears before taking two quick steps but Landon held me immediately. Only if he knew I wanted to go cry the fucking hell out of me. “How dare you?!" He yelled, pointing a warning finger at Mum as he left my arm and spun around to face her. "You idiot! How dare I? How dare YOU dump me for THIS! Are you out of your mind?!” She shouted, pretending she wasn't my mother. I didn't know what happiness a normal mother who actually cared, would derive from ruining her daughter's supposed happy day and smacking her in the face in fro

Chapter thirty-eight (hectic day)Sapphire's Point Of View:We walked into the mansion, our footsteps echoing through the whole space as it was empty and dead silent like a graveyard.I stared up at the astonishing chandelier above which scattered light across the huge living room, leaving no corner untouched. Yes, I've been to his house before but not this one. I had a feeling that it's been long since anyone has been to this mansion, though it was all neat and tidy.An aquarium stood at the other end of the room. I could see the backyard through it, the aquarium served as a see through wall. There were some sofas in the backyard with a swimming pool that had artificial running waterfalls.My neck snapped to look at the grand staircase that was made with gray marbles. The staircase was shiny and neat just like the mansion itself. I feared my presence alone would stain the mansion.“Come.” Landon said, stretching his hand from the staircase.I stared at him for a while before climbin
