Chapter one

Sapphire’s POV “Open the gate!” The voice thundered through the mansion just as I was about to take my morning coffee. The sound was so loud, that it vibrated straight through the walls. The tea cup slipped from my fingers, shattering against the floor. The servants instantly froze in their duty posts, turning into statues immediately due to the panic. Another loud, echoing bang shook the front entrance, rattling the massive glass chandeliers overhead. “Federal Financial Crimes Unit! Open the gate immediately!” “What…” I whispered, looking around the room, but nobody would meet my eyes. Before anyone could answer, the heavy iron estate gates outside swung open. Black SUVs rolled into the driveway one after another in a convoy. Men in dark, crisp suits climbed out of the vehicles with thick folders tucked beneath their arms. Our head butler was trembling so hard but he had to go to the grand entrance to intercept them from coming inside the mansion. “Sir, you can’t just….”

Chapter two

Sapphire’s POV I can swear it but that would be a little bit too extreme, but yes I can tell the universe came together to rip my family off its glory. I stare deeply at my reflection in the mirror, my skin looks really pale and my collarbones have never been this visible until now. I can easily say I am on a diet but in truth, I haven’t had a proper meal since papa got arrested and everything we own got seized. “Phi” The voice of Sophia echoes from the hallway. I quickly shoved my things into the nylon bag, I took a glance at the clock hanging on the wall and I noticed that I had spent a reasonable amount of time getting ready. Sophia would be pissed at me but I don’t care, she is always angry at something so this won’t be the first time. “On my way” I yelled back, making my way out but then she was already almost in front of my room and I cannot miss the angry glares she sends my way. “What were you doing?” She snaps. I took a step back “just getting ready, Phia” I replied.

Chapter three

Sapphire’s POV I blinked Again Again and again… I blinked until the words stopped echoing in my head. My ears were working just fine but my insides seem to be in a twist, doubting the words papa had said. “One of you needs to go speak to Alessandro.” The words echoed again and in that minute, I knew papa will always be papa. Plotting, scheming and using people to get what he wants. I didn’t like Alessandro. He was the kind of man you wish to never come across. Now we had to decide who would go into his lion’s den with open arms. My lips parted slightly, but words failed to come out. Unlike me who froze at papa’s words, Sophia didn’t flinch, she just stared at papa. She would do anything to get papa out of here and retain his old glory, Sophia can go miles for papa but I don’t think I can. I can only try but it won’t be enough for either Sophia or papa. “I don’t think….” I tried to speak but papa cuts me off “I don’t need you to think Phi, all I need is action. Decide which

Chapter four

Sapphire’s POV The envelope burned in my palms as we piled into the long driveway of Alessandro’s estate. Sophia pressed her hands against mine “stay calm,” she muttered beside me. “We are just going in for dinner.” She said as her heels clicked on the marble floor. “Just” I muttered to myself, I wanted to laugh out loud because this did not feel like just dinner. It felt like we were presenting ourselves to be sacrificed. Everything here screamed danger. The way the guards scanned us from their duty posts and even how the building stood tall at the dead end of the road. This did not feel like an ordinary dinner. The front doors open before Sophia’s fist could meet with it. A tall man on suit with broad shoulders stepped forward. His eyes moved from Sophia then to me, “Sophia and Sapphire Giovanni?” “Yes!” Sophia answered immediately, in her usual calm and crisp manner. “Follow me” he said stepping aside. The doors shut behind us as we trailed behind him. Overwhelmed, that is

Chapter five

Sapphire’s POVThe door closed behind Sophia.I stood there hoping that maybe all these was just big joke.My feet was rooted to the marble floor, they refused to move, it felt like I had forgotten how to.I feel Alessandro’s eyes on me. “You look surprised.” He said still watching me.I swallowed. “Why?”“Hmm.” He smirked, stroking his chin gently.“You didn’t say you were going to keep me.”A faint smile curved his lips. “I didn’t need to.”My fingers curled into fists at my sides. “Sophia said this was a negotiation.”Alessandro rose from his chair slowly, adjusting his cuffs. He looked calm but yet dangerous. With each step he took, I felt a pressure tightening around my chest. I forced my legs to stay still and not to retreat, nlt because I didn’t want to but because there was no where to run to now.“Negotiations imply equal footing,” he said evenly. “You don’t have that.”The words cut through like that of a blade.“What do you want from me?” I asked, my voice barely steady.He

Chapter six

I had scrubbed three floors by the time the sun came up properly.Not because anyone asked me to start that early but because I couldn’t sleep and lying in that small room staring at a ceiling that didn't belong to me felt worse than being on my knees with a bucket and a brush. At least scrubbing gave me something to do with my hands.I thought adapting to this new life was going to be hard but everytime I think about leaving this place as soon as possible, the thought of being at my best behaviour surfaces, so I just need to try.The estate ran like a machine, everyone had a role, everyone knew their place and from the moment I put on that uniform the night before, mine had been made very clear.I was nobody here.A woman named Mrs Matilda ran the domestic staff. Short, sharp eyes, the kind of woman who could find a speck of dust from across a room and make you feel personally responsible for its existence. She handed me a schedule at six in the morning without a word of greeting."Y

Chapter seven

I called Sophia on the third day.I stood by the narrow window in my room with the phone pressed to my ear, watching the estate security make their rounds below. It rang four times, five then six before it went into voicemail."Sophia." I kept my voice low. "It's been three days. I need you to call me back, please."I hung up and stared at the screen, then I called again.Voicemail again.“You need to at least tell me the plans you made with papa, I can’t keep on staying here without knowing how I am supposed to get out..” I took a deep breath while rubbing my head in frustration “please just call me when you get this.” I said again before ending the voicemail. I tossed the phone on the bed and the silence in the room felt heavy after that.I tried to convince myself that Sophia was probably busy, maybe she was looking for an alternate means to release papa or trying to revive the family business or a way to get me out from this place.But deep down, another thought kept crawling at

Chapter eight

Alessandro’s POV“She called him back.”Matteo’s voice cut through the silence the moment he stepped into my home office. He successfully pulled me out from drowning inside the thoughts in my head.I leaned back slowly on the chair, waiting for him to drop more information about how the conversation went. My gaze was still fixed on the security monitor in front of me. Yes I have been watching her. ..and yes I haven’t gone a day without watching her every move and I replay it over and over again until a new day comes and there are newer clips of her working and walking around the mansion. What I have noticed so far is that she doesn't want to be here, she has been looking for ways to escape but she cares for her father so much to not jeopardize the chances of his release. A caring daughter, but I doubt her father gives a shit about her. Selfish bastard. “She spoke to Thomas for approximately four minutes.” His voice dropped and then he continued slowly. “She wants to know who the

Chapter nine

Sapphire’s POV“Mr King wants you in his study now!”The words nearly made the tray slip from my hands. I looked up sharply from the dinning I had been cleaning only to find Mrs Matilda staring blankly at me. Her face held a kind of pity for me while her lips twisted in a way that seemed like, she wanted to say something more but rather not. …maybe because he was watching.I balanced the tray on the table before the glass jar could fall off it. My vision blurred a little bit. I hadn’t eaten all morning and worst, I wasn’t able to get enough sleep last night. If you ask me why? I would simple blame it on the stranger who called. I spent all night staring at my phone, waiting for answers and just staring blankly at the walls. When my eyelids finally found the urge to retire, it was already too late because it was morning. I could still feel her presence but my legs were finding it difficult to move.“Mr king does not like to be kept waiting.” She said again. I tried to steady mysel

Chapter ten

Sapphire’s POV“My companion.”The words lingered in the air long after they left Alessandro’s mouth.I wasn’t sure what unsettled me more, the fact that he expected me to stand beside him at a gathering full of dangerous people, or how naturally he had said it, as though my opinion had never mattered.The silence stretched until the older stylist cleared her throat carefully. “Would you like us to show Miss Sapphire the gowns now, sir?”Alessandro finally looked away from me. “Take her.”The younger woman smiled politely, stepping toward me. “This way, Miss.”I didn’t move. My eyes remained fixed on Alessandro. “What happens if I refuse?”The room fell dead silent. The stylist beside me lowered her eyes immediately and the other stopped unzipping the garment bags.Alessandro reached for his whiskey, completely unfazed. “You won’t.”“You seem very certain.”“I am.”I tightened my arms across my chest. “You don’t know me.”“No,” he said, taking a slow sip from his glass. “But I’ve been
