SophiaI kept tapping my knees nervously as he pored through a document. The two men seated beside me on both sides only made matters worse for me. When I had entered his large office and saw the two men, I initially thought they were police men, and I was sure I would be arrested. However, it turned out that they were the external auditors that had been hired to check the company records. I knew I was innocent, but the fact remained that a large sum of money was missing which I couldn’t account for. I was very meticulous and no discrepancy in my job went unnoticed by me. This was going to be a big blow to my career and, worse, I could even land in jail. “These two men will handle the checking of the company’s records. You will be required to give them all they need whenever they request.They will start with the other divisions before getting to yours,” Dominick glanced up at me and said after he finished reading. “And why’s that?” I asked.“Because your division is accounting an

SophiaI slammed the door of my car and sprinted across the street towards the tall intimidating building. When I got in, I quickly made for the reception when I saw Paul.“Sophia!” he exclaimed. “Good morning,” he said with a smile on his face.“Where is she?” I asked, ignoring his greeting.“Come with me,” he said and led me into a hallway.My eyes widened when I saw her small delicate features seated on a black leather chair holding her favourite blue teddy bear. There was a young dark-haired lady by her side playing with her, and Beryl seemed very excited.“Beryl!” I exclaimed. Her eyes shone with delight when she saw me, and she ran towards me. “Come here, my little Princess B,” I said, grabbing her. We locked ourselves in a tight embrace, and for a moment, I forgot about all my worries and my present situation – including the missing one million dollars.I suddenly caught sight of a young man standing towards me, having no idea when he had arriv

SophiaMy car screeched to a halt in the parking lot, and I started combing my hair. I looked a real mess at that moment and I had to appear before the board members. However, the way I looked was the least of my worries right now.One millions dollars?That can’t be possible. I had checked every calculation and combed through every transaction. There was no way such huge amount would be missing without my notice. I popped a mint into my mouth and headed into the building. Several thoughts raced through my mind. There were lots of opportunities for me to launder money from the company without notice, but I would never touch a dime. Asides my Christian upbringing, it wasn’t in my nature. The only attempt I had made at stealing was when I took a twenty dollar note from my mum and I was caught. The embarrassment was enough to discourage any similar act in the future.However, my morality would not be enough to prove my innocence. I had to check the numbers and see what went wrong. When

SophiaThe rays of morning sunlight filtering into the room bathed my face and I opened my eyes. I stared at the ceiling for a while trying to make sense of where I was and why my ceiling had a golden chandelier hanging from it. When I regained full consciousness, memories of last night came rushing into my head.I sat up on the bed and glanced around the big room in which I now found myself. The large white-painted room was exquisitely furnished with dark oak wood paneling, dark brown billowing curtains of the finest silk and an ocean green marble floor with a tiger skin-patterned rug in the center. The light from the chandelier added more colour to the exquisite headboard of the bed upholstered in dark brown velvet material.I reached for my bag which had been placed carefully on the polished bedside mahogany table. I took out my phone to check the time. It was a few minutes before eight in the morning. “Oh no!”I jumped up from the bed and glanced around, looking for my shoes, whe

Sophia “Where is she?” I barked into the phone. “Take it easy, love. She is fine where she is,” John answered. “You’re really testing my patience, John. Bring my daughter back to me now, or else!” I could hear the sound of my own heart beating hard against my ribcage. “Or else what? You think you can just run things as you see fit? You decided to divorce me. You terminated the contract for the imports project, something that could have given me a lot of money and now you want to take my daughter away from me?” “Well, you should have thought about all of that when you went about from one lady to the other. You don’t deserve anything form me, John. You don’t even deserve to be called a husband.” I suddenly realized that I was still in Dominick’s mansion as my voice reached a very high pitch, I decided to calm my nerves. “You don’t deserve Beryl,” I added, my voice barely above a whisper now. I need to catch my breath. “But she is happy here with me. In fact, I am going to ma

I drove into the grand entrance of the mansion after the guards let me in. I stepped out of my car and the cold night breeze blew the drizzling rain over my body, sending shivers. “Here you go, ma’am,” said a guard bringing an umbrella over me. I looked ahead, the sprawling estate loomed in the darkness, its picturesque structure standing tall against the night sky. I glanced at my and realized it was almost midnight. After David’s call, I rushed back to work and completed the report. It had taken me a long while to complete as thoughts of where Beryl was kept distracting me. We got to the door and the guard accompanying me closed the umbrella before knocking slightly on the door. I never imagined that I would be standing at the doorstep of the chairman of my organization, especially not at this hour. The whole situation seemed very strange and I had never been at a man’s house at this time except for John and my ex, Nathan. My mind raced with anxiety, the consequences of my ta
