"I am flawed in every way possible," she said. "Good, I never asked for perfection," he replied immediately. When Sapphire Conrad, the wayward daughter of the Conrad Family, was called back to New York after running away from home to Gisborne, she only had a plan. Appear at the mansion, listen to whatever nonsense she had to say and say no to it, put up a strong font, then go back to her kids in Gisborne. Using her energy while trying to get revenge on all of them is a total waste of time even though they deserved to be trampled upon for what they did to her. It sounds like an easy enough plan until she got there and was asked to get into a marriage of convenience. Staying at New York was risky, she would be forced to face her ex-fiance who she had a nine years relationship with, the ex-best friend who snatched her fiance, her sister and mother who hate her with passion, and the list was longer than just that. But she couldn't leave her twin brother who is in danger there and there is this tiny little fact that Mr. Alexander Antonio Aldine, the CEO of Triple A Group definitely won't let her go.
It is doomsday and Sapphire knew that, she was dreaming and she really want to wake up so bad but it is like a force is keeping her down and letting her go though the torture all over again.
A scene flashed in front of her, it subsided and she saw her ex-fiance, Oliver Gray and herself.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter if we have been together for nine years, the point is that we are breaking up now, I have Heather with me, this is the wedding invitation card, she would really love it if you were there, after all you are her best friend, and we are getting rid of those bastards inside of you, whether you like it or not because Heather requested it," He said and the feeling of betrayal she felt that time came all over again in ten folds.
He said the words, different days at different times but her brain always found a way to patch it up and summarize it into a sentence, but one thing was constant when he said all those words, it was that she had a wedding dress on and a broken leg from wearing heels.
She wanted to tap herself and tell her to stand up and stop being such an idiot, she wanted to reach into the scene and punch the jerk squarely in the face, she wanted to shut his mouth up.
Another scene flashed and she was standing with her family. She also looked pathetic at that time, couldn't she have braced up and told them off.
"You are a disgrace to the family, we are sorry for the trouble Sapphire caused.
We already took measures and she is in rehabilitation now.
I disown you, you are no longer my daughter.
What? Do you want to stain Melissa's reputation by having her come over to visit you in prison?
Do as you are told and tell them that you did it.
Who knew that my niece is a bad girl, why don't you get a tattoo in order to complete the look."
Those were from different people she used to call family, a bunch of people who would do anything for their own selfish gain, the humiliation and sadness weighed her down but she willed herself to break free from the torment.
She was finally able to open her eyes as gasps fell from her lips, her face was wet with perspiration and her heart was heavy like a lid.
She sat up and cleaned the angry tears that had made their way to the corner of her eyes. She looked around her room before she stood up and walked to the room next door.
She stared at her kids for a long time before she moved to them. It must be because of her family's phone call that brought these memories back, the ones she wanted to forget so badly.
-------------------------
Sapphire arrived at the airport and stared around, she exhaled and held on tight to her cross bag, since she left there are many things she missed about New York but the things she didn't miss about the place are more than things she missed.
She walked towards the exit, mixing herself with the big crowd. She loves getting lost among people.
She stood out for such a long time and it brought her downfall, she was scorned, humiliated and wronged, she was so high on the pedestal before she was pushed down harshly.
She shook her head, no, she won't think of such gloomy thoughts. She came to New York just to hear whatever nonsense her family wants to say.
Her phone rang and she held her luggage with her left hand and removed her phone from her pocket. She checked the ID and saw that it was an unknown number, she hesitated before picking it up.
"Hello," she said.
"After all these years, I am finally able to hear your voice," The person on the other side said and the Sapphire freezed.
It has been two years since she heard her voice.
"Melissa.."
"I take it that you have arrived at the airport, the family summoned you and you came,"
Melissa is her younger sister, she was older than her by a year and she is the golden feather of the Conrad family, what she says goes.
Even though Sapphire was an idiot and had issues with Melissa, she didn't care that she had to ask for permission before she did anything in the house, whatever it is, spending money, getting out of the house, going to parties, everything.
Melissa still had a problem with her, so she set her up. Arranged every bad thing that happened to her, setting up her best friend with her fiance whom she was together with for seven years and engaged to for two years.
The sick part was that she succeeded and they broke her into a thousand pieces.
"What do you want from me, Melissa?" She asked with a bored tone, already developing a migraine.
"Maybe, you don't know but they are bringing you here in order to get you married to Mr. Alexander Aldine, the CEO of Triple A Group, an arranged marriage," Melissa said in a cheerful voice, she was obviously enjoying this.
"Maybe you don't know, but," she mimicked her. "Your damn family can't control me anymore, I left it behind, you are a bunch of shameless betrayal," she said and Melissa laughed but Sapphire could tell that it was a bit forced.
"Even if it will bring the freedom of your twin?" She asked. Sapphire just stared before she hung up.
She didn't want to deal with Melissa right now, they were forcing her hand, they were trying to trap her.
She stared at the airport, maybe she should just run away to Gisborne, that is where she came from and it had been peaceful, no high class society, just her, her friends, her kids and her neighbors.
She ran away from New York and went there when she was humiliated and couldn't take it anymore and now that she is just healing they call her here to do what?
Get married to some Mr Alexander?
No, they can't do this to her, Ruby is her twin brother and part of the Conrad family, why do they have to pin it on her, they had other ladies, why did she have to be the sacrificial lamb.
She love Ruby, she honestly do, but this is like submitting to them all over again, those selfish family of hers.They failed her when they turned their back on her and suck up to Oliver's family when HE was the one that broke up with her, simply because the Grays were richer than the Conrads.
Someone bumped into someone, causing her to bump into someone, the person wrapped her hand around her waist to hold her, her luggage had fallen to the ground.
She raised her head and the first thing that her eyes stuck to was the beautiful gray eyes that stared back at her, they were so beautiful, it had a moderate level of intensity and softness.
She felt like he was staring straight into her soul, how can something look like it has thousands of secrets behind it and so expressive at the same time.
They were in a world of their own, they were the only ones that were in the airport. It has been a long time since her heart raced because of the sight of someone but looking at this man's extremely handsome face, she felt like she was seizing, skipping and beating hard.
All at once!
