Episode 13 & 14 : Murdered
Yisabel stopped what she was doing immediately the knock came again for the second time.
“Yisabel, what are you…”
Easton tried speaking but he fell asleep on the desk as Yisabel rushed to the door.
There, Sapphire was standing there.
“Yisabel!” She exclaimed surprisingly and Yisabel scoffed.
“What do you want?” She asked.
“What do you mean? This is Easton’s office and I want to see him!” Sapphire replied, pushing past her as she walked inside.
Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped when she saw Easton’s condition.
“Easton!”
She rushed to him, trying to regain him but all to no avail.
“He is just having his rest, can you just leave?” Yisabel pointed at the door and Sapphire became furious.
She walked briskly to her and the next thing Yisabel felt was Sapphire’s five fingers landing on her cheeks.
“What did you do to him?” Sapphire half yelled, staring at her with burning anger.
“That’s none of your business! And do you wanna know more? I’m replacing him in his board meeting soon since he said he’s busy. You even ruined our mood when I was just about making out with him right here” Yisabel replied and Sapphire stared at her with disgusts.
“You’re shameless aren’t you?!” They suddenly heard a voice and they turned to see Aldrich standing beside the door with bottle of water in his hands.
“Get out old rat” Yisabel replied rudely and Aldrich scoffed as he walked towards Easton.
“What are you doing?” Sapphire asked him.
“Trying to wake my boss up” He replied before pouring the water on Easton’s face, making him jerk up.
“Fuck!!” Easton shrieked as the water bathed him.
“Finally you’re alive again” Aldrich rolled his eyes and Easton stared confusedly at him. He pointed the other side and Easton’s eyes feel on Sapphire and Yisabel.
“Sapphire?” He stood up.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“Oh, so you actually told Yisabel to be at your office because you wanted to make out with her?” Sapphire replied and Easton raised a brow at Yisabel.
Yisabel lowered her head shamefully.
“Yisabel, is that what you told her?” He asked but silence followed.
“Fucking speak up!” He shrieked and she flinched.
She has never seen him yell so loud like this before.
“Y-Yes, I did.” She replied.
“I always thought you’re good, Yisabel” He spoke.
“It’s just that, I wanted to make my feelings known to you” Yisabel replied, nibbling on her fingers.
“Interesting, stupid love” Aldrich snickered.
“Feelings? What type of feelings, Yisabel!” Easton yelled.
“Don’t yell at me! If it’s Sapphire here you’ll be glad she did such to you because you have feelings for her, but why can’t you see me?!” Yisabel cried out, poking her chest and Sapphire shook her head with a chuckle escaping her lips.
“Have you gone nuts?” Easton replied.
“Yes! Have gone nuts because of you! Why can’t you notice me? What does Sapphire has that I don’t have?! I’ve been your personal chef for four years now and you’ve never notice my approach towards you! I had to take it the other way round!” Yisabel drawed and Sapphire scoffed.
She couldn’t take it anymore, she held her bag and stormed out of his office.
“Sapphire! Sapphire!” Easton ran after her immediately.
Yisabel teared up that instant as Aldrich kept glaring at her blankly.
“Crazy witch!” He spat at her before walking out too.
“AHHHH!!!!” She screamed, smashing her shoes on the wall.
“Sapphire, hold on!” Easton caught up to her before she could reach her car.
“What do you want Easton? A kiss? A good fúck?” She replied dryly and he felt slightly hurt. He had never seen her spoke dryly to him like this.
“What are you saying?” He asked calmly and she scoffed.
“Don’t try to fuck with me now! I clearly saw Yisabel trying to make out with you! Didn’t you see that the door was locked!” She snapped at him.
“But you could have noticed that I wasn’t myself. I dozed off and I don’t know why. Yisabel just made a coffee for me and the next thing I saw was blurry visions of her going to lock up the door” He explained.
“Wow! That girl is really testing my patients!” Sapphire frowned and made to walk back inside but Easton held her back.
“No, don’t.. I’ll deal with her myself. She’s not going to be working for me again at the villa. I’m sorry for giving you the silent treatment” He said softly.
“I almost went sick” She pouted and he chuckled.
“I missed you” He muttered.
“I missed you too” She replied as they kept staring at each other.
Yisabel who was coming out of the company so how they were staring and smiling at each other from the garage and her cry doubled as she clenched her fist in jealousy.
“Why have you decided to kill yourself, Jasmine?” Mrs Celine complained.
Jasmine has been sobbing on the floor ever since she got back home from Adrian’s place and she’s been on it.
Mr Brock walked into the mansion from work and with a tired look on his face, he didn’t even notice his daughter.
“Honey, your daughter has been tearing up!” Mrs Celine said and Mr Brock halted on the stairs and slowly turned to them.
“Jasmine?” He walked towards them and Jasmine immediately stood up.
“Dad” She sniffed.
“Tell me, why are you crying?”
“Dad, I don’t want this please! I don’t want to leave the country!” Jasmine cried out.
“Don’t tell me you’re still on that case? Look, you’re going to be leaving next tomorrow so better get prepared” Mr Brock replied and made to walk upstairs to his room but Jasmine held his legs.
“Dad please listen! I don’t want to leave Adrian! We love each other!”
“I never thought that Celine spoiled you to this length. I’m disappointed” Mr Brock shook his head and kicked her as he went upstairs to his room.
“Dad!!!”
“Don’t kill yourself. I’m sure you’ll find someone who really loves you” Mrs Celine smiled out as she hugged him but Jasmine pushed her away instantly.
“I hate you guys!” She fired meanly and stormed upstairs to her room.
“Jasmine! Jasmine!”
The maids were in the kitchen chitchatting when Jasmine walked in. The maids quickly arranged themselves while some ran outside.
“Good day ma’am Jasmine” The few greeted.
“Get out!” She ordered.
The maids stared at one another before looking at her.
“But, ma’am…”
“I said get out!” She repeated, more louder than the first time and they rushed out.
Jasmine looked around before walking to the cabinet. She brought out a long sharp knife as her lips curved into a smirk.
“You want this the hard way…” She muttered before leaving the kitchen.
Mr Brock was in his room dressing up in his walk-in closet and he didn’t notice Jasmine come in.
Jasmine looked around before walking in fully, the knife behind her. She tiptoed to his walk-in closet and she smirked when she saw him turning his back on her so he didn’t see her.
She tiptoed briskly to him and before Mr Brock could turn around, Jasmine stabbed him right on the chest.
Blood dripped from Mr Brock’s mouth as he felt on his knees with wide eyes as he starred at his daughter.
“You made me do this d@ddy” She muttered and he coughed out blood.
“Y-you will r-regret this” Mr Brock coughed out and Jasmine gave a crook laughter.
She brought out the knife from his chest and he yelled in pains as she stabbed him on same spot again.
“Arrgh!!!!” Mr Brock shrieked as she kept stabbing him continuously till death and his blood all over her face.
Jasmine’s hands shook as the knife fell from her hand and Mr Brock dropped dead on the floor like a lifeless chicken, and that’s when Jasmine got hack to her senses.
She suddenly held her head when voices began echoing in her head. Her head was banging.
“Stay away from me!” She screamed out as the voices became stronger.
She was going crazy.
She suddenly cleaned her bloody face with one of his shirt. She grabbed the bloodstained knife. Fortunately, the room has a two paired windows so it was easy for her to run through.
“Adrian is mine, either way and I’m going to let that happen” She muttered and finally jumped off the window.
Mrs Celine came in after five minutes with smiles on her face.
“Honey! I have good news!” She announced but her smile fell off when she saw her husband in a pool of his own blood, lying there lifelessly.
“Brock!!”
“Brock!!”
Episode 15 & 16 : When Two Enemies Meet
“Thanks the dinner, Easton” Sapphire smiled as they walked straight to the mansion.
“That was nothing. I’m just glad you enjoyed” Easton replied.
Cassandra had woken up that night so she was back to her duty when she saw them approaching.
“Welcome back Sir Easton” She bowed her head at him.
“Welcome back ma” She added.
“How’re you doing Cassie?” Sapphire asked as she walked over to the couch.
“Fine.. but Yisabel isn’t fine. She’s been thrashing everything since noon” She reported.
“Wait, what!” Easton exclaimed, pulling off his suit jacket.
“Calm down, Easton” Sapphire hugged him from behind.
“She has to leave this place. She’s no longer working for me” Easton replied, gritting his teeth.
“No, don’t! Let’s give her another chance. She’ll change”
“Do you hear yourself? After what she has said to you?” Easton asked.
“Yeah. Let’s allow this one to slide” She replied and he sighed.
Cassandra left already.
Easton slowly walked to her as he snaked his hands around her tiny waist, capturing her there. His hazel eyes piercing into her brown eyes as they drowned into each other.
The moment was something to be worthwhile.
“You’re so beautiful” He whispered, leaning in to bit her earlobe sexily. Sapphire gasped silently as she clinged unto him.
“You’ve been saying that to me all day” She chuckled and he smiled, his sided dimple became visible.
“I can keep complimenting you till eternity because there’s no other girl who has a beautiful heart as beautiful as her face just like you” He whispered again.
“Thank you” She muttered. He started licking her earlobe slowly yet slowly. She closed her eyes as she allowed the warm feelings dive into her. The tingling sensation enlightened her netherland.
Easton saw how she was responding steadily and he smiled more as he leaned away. His right hand moved to her face as she tilted her head so their eyes would meet, and their lips an inch closer.
His eyes lowered to her lips and hers moved to his too as they ogled at each other. Easton’s hand slowly moved to feel her lip and Sapphire gasped again as his finger met with her lips.
It was as if the earth stopped moving because everything was just going slowly and smoothly.
“Easton” She gasped out, taking her lower lip in, and that was it. Easton lost his mind that instant as he slammed his lips on hers, kissing, sucking, biting her so roughly.
His sugarcoated lips felt so warm on her lips that she almost forgot her sanity. She held unto his shirt as the kiss deepened. He bit her lower lip and she gasped which gave him the slight chance to have a taste of her mouth. His tongue fought for dominance in her mouth.
“So fucking sweet” He whispered in-between the kiss and Sapphire’s legs throbbed..
“Mhm…” She released a moan when he slowed down, giving her the crazy kiss ever.
He was a really good kisser.
The taste of her blossom lips felt heavenly to Easton because he couldn’t stop sucking the hell out of her, with her hands wrapped her possessively.
If this moment wasn’t gonna come again, they just wanted to enjoy this moment they got.
The kiss lasted for three minutes as Sapphire broke it first. Easton was surprised at her sudden expression.
“Is there something wrong?” He asked and Sapphire stepped away from him.
“We shouldn’t be doing this, Easton. We shouldn’t” She shook her head immediately and Easton went closer to her.
“Is this because of Adrian? Do you have feelings for that monster?” He uttered.
“I’ll never develop feelings for that monster. Do you know how many times I always wish I could strangle him to death?” Sapphire replied.
“Then give me the chance to help you. You’ve been with me, Sapphire. Don’t ignore my approaches” He said, staring her with glistening eyes.
“Easton we can’t be doing this. I’m sorry, but I can’t” She sniffed as she ran upstairs to her room.
“Sapphire! Sapphire!” Easton ran towards her but she was quick to lock the door before he could get in so he was now standing outside.
He sighed and exhaled. He made to walk away when his eyes met with Yisabel’s. She was actually holding a tray of food whilst standing on the stairs.
He didn’t say anything to her as he walked away.
“Easton!” She went after him but he kept walking till he got to his suite.
“Easton! Pls wait up.” She said and he halted.
“I don’t want to talk right now. Just leave Yisabel” He fired at her.
“I’m sorry for all that went wrong today. I shouldn’t have done that and I wasn’t in my right senses when I did that. If you could just give me another chance, I promise I’ll make it up to you, and…”
Yisabel was still blabbering when Easton finally ignored and walked into his suite, shutting the door at her face.
NEXT MORNING*
Adrian woke up the next morning to see Jasmine snoring like a peaceful soul on his bed. He jumped down in fright as he glared at her.
He was only in his short pants.
“What the fúck!” He exclaimed. He grabbed the pillow and threw it at her.
“Wake up ass hole!” He shouted, slapping her with the pillow and Jasmine’s eyes flew open as she woke up.
‘How did you get in?! What are you doing in my house?!” He yelled, staring at her dumbfounded.
Jasmine yawned tiredly as she rubbed her eyes and Adrian was irritated.
“C’mon what are you talking about? Can’t I be at my boyfriend’s place again? I have spare keys remember” She answered.
“If I go into the bathroom and come back to still you meet this way, I’m going to end you if you don’t leave, Jasmine!” He threatened, giving her deadly glare before walking into his bathroom.
Jasmine got out from bed and started undressing herself like a shameless bitch as she waited boldly and patiently for him.
Minutes later, Adrian stepped out, drying his hair with an electronic hair dryer. Few seconds later, he walked into his walk-in closet as he changed into an armless shirt on cargo pants before styling his hair.
He came out but he stopped abruptly when he saw Jasmine shaking her @ss nakedly on the bed at him.
Surprisingly, he didn’t felt anything. He wasn’t even erected.
“If you’re done doing that thing then you’ll get the fúck off my bed, get your clothes and leave” He glared.
Jasmine frowned and stopped shaking her @ss as she took slow strides to him. She raised her caress him but Adrian was faster to land two consecutive slaps on her face.
“Ow!” She gasped in shock as she touched her cheeks.
Adrian picked her clothes and threw it at her.
“Stop testing my patience, Jasmine! I’m not the angelic boyfriend you’re imagining me to be! I’m not that stupid knight in shining armor!” He snapped at her.
“What have I done to deserve this? I love you why can’t you love me back?!” She cried out and he clenched his fist.
He was about replying to her when his phone started ringing. He checked the caller ID to see Mrs Celine calling.
He picked up surprisingly.
“Mrs Celine?” He called. His voice as calm as a gentleman.
“I have been trying to reach Jasmine’s line but it’s been saying switched off. Pls reach her for me” Mrs Celine loud sniffs could be heard from the other end and Adrian raised a brow.
“What’s going on, Mrs Celine?” He asked.
“Brock is dead! I went to his suite only to find him in his own pool of blood! With a knife beside him. Right now, the doctors are trying their best to save him” Mrs Celine cried over the phone.
“What!!!” Adrian exclaimed as his eyes shifted to Jasmine who was already fidgeting.
REDDINGTION HOSPITAL*
Luckily, Adrian and Jasmine hot to the hospital on time after the conversation he had with Mrs Celine on the phone.
The nurse at the front desk attended to them and told them the number to find Mr Brock as they rushed to the second floor.
Adrian rushed towards Mrs Celine when he saw her pacing round the corridor, with tears in her eyes.
“Mrs Celine!” He exclaimed and she gawked at them.
“Adrian!” She cried out and he slowly pulled her into a hug.
He doesn’t know why he was doing this or feeling concerned but the same way how he lost his father when he was still little flowed into his memory.
Mrs Celine’s eyes shifted to Jasmine who was a distance away from Adrian. Jasmine couldn’t bring herself to come forward as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Jasmine!” Mrs Celine sniffed as she went to her.
“Mum” Jasmine muttered and Mrs Celine pulled her into a hug as they both cried on their shoulders.
“Your dad is gone… Your dad is gone, Jasmine.” She sniffed.
Jasmine’s shut her eyes as the last words of her father filled her.
“You will regret this” His voice echoed in her head and it made her cry harder.
Adrian stood there watching them. He couldn’t bear it anymore and walked out of the hospital, leaving mother and daughter to cry their eyes out.
That was life anyway.
“Damn!” Adrian exhaled immediately he entered his car as he rested his back. Memories of how his dad was murdered rushed throw him and it made his eyes watery.
“I’m doing this for you, dad. I got justice for your death but I need to get one justice left. If I don’t get this one, I won’t rest” He muttered, snuffing.
He brought out his phone and dialled a line.
“How about our get together? Let me compensate you properly for taking risk. I’ll send you the address of the hotel we’ll meet” He spoke and hung up as his lips curved up into a smirk.
“This was going to be fun than I had thought” He muttered before driving away.
Sapphire was just coming out of the company when a security guard rushed to her.
“Ma’am?” The man called and Sapphire looked at him. “Yes?”
“Sir Easton said you should hold on outside that he’s going to come pick you up” He replied.
“Oh, tell him not to bother” Sapphire replied.
“But ma’am. He gave it as an order. I don’t want to loose my job ma’am” The security guard pleaded.
“Fine”.
“I’ll just go wait over there” She added, pointing at a direction and he nodded.
“Sure ma’am. Thanks” The security man smiled and Sapphire walked away.
She stood beside a car whilst waiting for Easton to show up. The day wasn’t getting younger and it was signalling nightfall.
She checked her wristwatch and bit her lips.
“Easton” She groaned. She suddenly felt sudden movement behind her but when she made to turn back to see who it was, someone grabbed her from behind with a sedated handkerchief.
Within seconds, she gave up the struggling and fell into a deep slumber.
She blacked out.
Sapphire’s became conscious again as she woke up. She looked around and her head made a bang sound. She let out a groan and made to stand up but that’s when she realized that she was chained to the bed.
The room was dark, preventing her to see anything.
“Where am I? Someone help!!” She screamed as she struggled to break free.
Her legs were widely opened to and she was looking like a miserable human.
“Who the hell are you?! Show your face to me, coward!” She screamed out again. And that moment, the light went on but her world almost crumbled when she saw her mortal enemy standing right at the edge of the bed, a dark smirk playing on his lips.
“A-Adrian?” Her jaw dropped.
“Surprise to see me?” He said in a low tone.
“Bastard! Get me out of here!” Sapphire screamed out as tears left her eyes.
“You try so much to be strong Sapphire, but you still ended up weak” He mocked as he walked to the drawer beside the bed.
He opened it and took a bubble gum from it as he threw it into his mouth and began chewing sexily.
He had an expressionless look on his face but more of a deadly one.
“Bastard!!!”
“Yeah baby. Scream that name hard because tonight you’ll be screaming my name till you loose your fucking voice” He muttered as his eyes roamed her body.
Sapphire struggled like an helpless kitten.
Fortunately, there was an hairpin attached to her hair and the chain was just out of lock so she stylishly removed it when he wasn’t looking and made to free herself.
Adrian had the sounds she was making and turned to her at once. Sapphire froze instantly when their eyes met and the next thing she felt was his hand landing on her cheeks.
“Ouch!” She cried out.
“What were you trying to do? Do you think you’d escape from here tonight? It’s me and you, baby” He laughed out.
“You’re a psycho, Adrian! A real one!” She spat his face as he leaned in, caressing her spotless face and Sapphire spat on him again with her.
“You know, no matter how much you spit on me, it can never change the fact that I’m going to kiss the hell out of your lips and fúck you till you forget my name” He whispered in a dirty tone, his lip ring giving him a hot devilish look.
Sapphire’s eyes shifted to his lips and her tears tripled as she spat on him again but he ended up laughing.
Sapphire’s phone suddenly started ringing from the lamp stand and they both glanced at it. Sapphire wanted to pick it up when she saw it was Easton calling but then she remembered she was chained.
“Looks like Easton will have to wait till the next day because you’re mine tonight…” Adrian trailed.
“I hate you, Adrian!” She cussed.
“We both know how your pussy is craving to fucked hard by me, Sapphire” He cussed back and crashed his lips on her senselessly.
