After taking a good bath, sapphire came downstairs just to find Michael asking something from maids…
Sapphire : papa, what are you looking for?
Michael looked back and found sapphire standing near the stairs. He opened his arms for her, and she ran, hugged him back tightly, feeling fatherly warmth.
Sapphire : sorry papa, I am late today. I didn’t know it will be this late.
Michael laughed, hearing her, he shook his head. “ If you are late, then what about my son and mother? They will not be up until 12pm. Don't worry, you are never late. "
Sapphire : what about granny? She was drunk last night.
Michael : she is just like Rowan, whenever she wants she will get up. Don't worry about them.
Sapphire : papa, we are getting divorced in some days, please keep in mind that…
She smiled sadly at her papa…
Michael smile fades away as she mentioned their divorce.
Michael : divorce? I thought everything is now fine between you both, as he was taking you in his arms the other day… What was that?
Sapphire : I don't know about rowan, papa. But it's now his habit to do whatever he wants with me. Maybe he is just like that. Don't worry, he will be fine once I am out of this house. I just want you to never expect anything from this relationship. Our relationship has no future, I am not what he wants and what he deserves.
Michael angrily : he deserves you, but you don't because he is such a spoil brat who knows nothing about precious people. I just want him to love you the way you deserve.
Sapphire : but he has no love in him because his heart is cold.
Michael : but you need to melt that coldness.
She wiped her tears and smiled at Michael, who was always amazed to see this girl bravery. This house has not given anything to her, still she is sacrificing herself for them for him.
Sapphire : leave these things, I will make breakfast for you, papa.
She left for the kitchen, leaving Michael alone with his thoughts.
Michael : I know my son, he is very obsessed and possessive about his things. And you are his wife. I have seen madness in his eyes for you, and I know he won't let you go so easily. You can only watch him.

At noon, sapphire was doing her daily works. She was to wake two monsters now one is her husband and other is her granny. She also wakes up Emily. Rowan has office and Emily for her classes. First she decided to woke Emily first as it will be easy. She went towards her room and sat beside her head on the bed.
She starts massaging her scalp, she was treating her like a child, but she is an elder one.
Sapphire : come on Emily, get up, you have classes in noon time.
Emily put her head on her lap and snuggle into her tummy. She finds her massaging so relaxing.
Emily : please do it again, saps.
Emily cupped her sister-in-law face and said : you are so cute and kind, sapphire. My sweet sister-in-law.
Sapphire smiled weakly at her. At first, she wanted Emily to call her that, but now she is not so sure of that title.
Sapphire : call me just sapphire.
Emily : I will call you whatever I want. You can't stop me.
Sapphire : ok, ok now go and take a shower…
With that, she handed her a cup of coffee.
Emily took a sip and moan at the taste. She sighs and passed a beautiful smile towards sapphire, who smiled in return.
Emily : that's why I love you so much… You are so perfect, perfect in everything. This coffee is beyond perfect. Thank you so much.
Sapphire : I love you too now get ready fast…
Thereafter, she stood in front of their room to wake this monster husband of hers. She took a deep breath and entered their room with his Black coffee.
She was still not comfortable with his soft side. The morning incident was flashing in front of her and making her nervous.
She kept the coffee on the table and took a book from the side table. She went near him and shake him with that book,“ rowan” she called, but he didn't move an inch.
Furthermore, she again called him, this time a little louder, but as usual, he was in a deep slumber.
At last, she pushed him harder than before that he groaned and said“ WHAT?? "
Sapphire :UIMM, you have office today.
She said nervously… When rowan looked at her, his irritated face broke into a smile, watching his beautiful wife looking fresh like a flower.
The night he has taken her virginity, her naked image is not leaving his mind. Whenever he sees her, he immediately imagines her to be naked in their room in their bed.
He coughs and came out of his dirty thoughts. He sat straight on the bed, masking his expression to a cold one again.
Sapphire : your coffee… She forwarded him his coffee.
He took the cup and take a sip. Fuck, she makes the best coffee in the world. He moans internally at the taste. He smiles as his buds exploded with roasted beans taste. His smile didn't go unnoticed by the innocent rabbit.
Her mouth open in oval shape, and he questioned her, “WHAT? "
Sapphire nodded her head in negative. She was moving her fingers with one another. She wanted to ask something from him but don't know how?
ROWAN : do you want to say something?
Sapphire : yes, can I… Can I go to Liam wedding? I will be back in 2 to 3 days.
ROWAN : Liam invited you?
Sapphire : you knew?
Rowan :yes, you told me last night.
Sapphire : it's okay, no problem, I won't go…
Saying so, she was moving out of the room when rowan stopped her again…
ROWAN : did I say something like that? When did I stop?
He asked a little rudely.
Sapphire turned around in surprise, she was not expecting him to say yes…
Sapphire : what?
Rowan : you can go, but not for 2 days. You need to be back by tonight.
He ordered, didn't like the idea of her being away from him.
Sapphire was confused, why would she be back by tonight?
Sapphire : hmm, it will take me 2 days from train…
ROWAN : no, you will go by my private jet, not by any other means of transportation.
He said calmly.
She was surprised with his behavior, what happened to him all of a sudden, she thought.
He ignored her shocked expression and called his PA to arrange his jet till evening.
She blinked continuously, it felt like a dream to her. As soon as she was out of her thoughts, she found rowan going inside the bathroom. She ran towards him and called him.
Sapphire : rowan?
Rowan : hmm, he didn't turn around and answered.
Sapphire :there is no need to arrange a private jet, rowan, I can go by myself. It is just a small gathering. I will arrange everything for you. You don't need to bother.
Rowan didn't like her denying him. He turns towards her and said calmly yet authoritative. “ Never ever use this cute little mouth of you to say no. I want to hear only yes from you".
With that, he left towards the bathroom…
Sapphire angrily pout and said,“ why can't he listen to me for once in life? "
Saying so, she left for granny's room. Now she needs to wake her up.
_____________________________
Sapphire entered granny's room only to find her holding her head, sitting on the bed. She giggled looking at granny.
Sapphire : you have a headache, granny?
Granny nodded sadly and sapphire smile at her sweetly. She loves granny. “ That's why I am here with lemonade ".
She said, and hand her the glass of freshly made lemonade.
Granny excitedly took the glass and said,“ you are the best daughter-in-law".
Saying so, granny gulped the whole glass in one go, making sapphire smiled at her childish behavior.
Granny : I am cute, right? She asked with a naughty smirk on her wrinkly face.
Sapphire : yes, yes, very much.
Granny : ok listen, tonight we will drink a special one, okay?
Suddenly sapphire remembered rowan's warning, and she immediately denied“ no, no I can’t drink again. I just wanted to taste it once in life, which I did last night. "
Granny :so your egoistic husband forbid you to drink again, huh? She asked with the same arrogance.
Sapphire : no, he is not the reason, but I don't like it. And I am a nit habitual. And moreover, I don't like to drink.
Granny : it's okay if you say so. By the way, your husband scolded me last night for making you drink.
(That’s the only thing he can do) sapphire said slowly, but granny hears it, and she laughed.
Granny : so tell me, did something happens last night?
She asked, wriggling her brows.
Sapphire : how did you know? She asked, being surprised.
Granny : because when I was drunk back then, I used to tease Rowan's grandfather. So, I know.
Sapphire cheeks turn red with shyness and she lowered her eyes.
Granny caressed her hair lovingly and asked “don’t be shy now tell me what happened? "
Sapphire : I don't remember anything, granny.
She said softly.
Granny: then Rowan must have enjoyed your drunk state…
Just then they heard a rude voice“ can't you stop for once?"
They looked at the door and found Rowan standing there arrogantly.
Granny : you must have….
Sapphire was feeling shy with granny's shameless talks, so she hurriedly said,“ I have work, I will be back".
ROWAN : where?
Sapphire : to serve breakfast…
ROWAN : let the maids do that today. You go and pack your things.
Granny : are you both going to honeymoon?
Sapphire again looked down and rowan smirk inside…
Rowan : granny, please, not again. Your questions are sick. She is going to attend a wedding ceremony.
Granny : but I will be alone without her. I will be bored with you guys.
Sapphire smiled and said,“ will you go with me? "
Rowan : absolutely not.
He instantly denied snatching the smiled from sapphire face.
Granny : I will accompany her. She is just a child.
ROWAN : so you are more than a child, you are more immature than her. Did you forget that you both were drunk last night?
Granny : but…
ROWAN : I said no. So, it's a big no…
He left the room, leaving the duo alone.
Granny :your husband is rude… Why so?
Sapphire : he is your grandson, so you know him better… She said back.
Granny : I wanted to go with you…
Sapphire : really? Do you really want to go?
Granny : yes…
Sapphire : let's go, we will talk to papa. He will talk to rowan.
Granny : no need. Your husband won't listen to anyone. I will take a bath, ok.
Sapphire : okay, granny.
She helped her in her clothes and everything before leaving her room…

At the breakfast table, rowan sat down and sapphire served them breakfast. He glared at her and said,“ why are you still here? Didn't I say to get ready? " He questioned her.
Sapphire : bags are ready, I will serve, then I will change.
Emily : where are you going?
Sapphire : it's my friend marriage, so I am going there.
Emily : wow, what are you going to wear?
Sapphire : I don't know, I haven't decided yet.
Emily : it's okay, I will help you. I will choose the best gown for you, don't worry. I will also do your makeup. Furthermore, I am the best makeup artist. She winked at sapphire.
Granny : don't. She doesn't need to be a makeup doll. She is already a doll without makeup. Likewise, she is beautiful without makeup, right, rowan?
Rowan was busy in checking his schedules, so he didn't listen to their banter, raised his eyes towards sapphire and said“ hm" without knowing anything.
Sapphire face turn red like a tomato. His one word “hmm” made her feel good and shyness hit her….
**so let's see what will happen next, will granny go with sapphire.how will Emily help her getting ready?**
