Sophia

I couldn't shake the feeling of astonishment after what I just heard from Doctor Brown. Luna has always had mischievous plans of ruining my life.

After all I wasn't her blood, I'm just an orphan who was brought out of compassion by her father to live with them. Am I supposed to blame them for treating me the way they did? I hissed in frustration, my hand went to the beautiful crystal pendant necklace my mum gave me before she died.

I still had memories of my parents before that unfortunate scene that took away their lives. I do not like to think about that drastic scene, my greatest nightmare. I became afraid of the nights, because day by day it grew very tormenting for me.

I was taken aback upon hearing what Doctor Brown said about his mother being disappointed in him. My mom was everything to me, I remember how she would carry me when I fell ill, the lurking sadness in her eyes.

I used to think my mum was a nurse because of how she always knew the right medications to give

  • A Twist of Fate with the Callous Billionaire    CHAPTER 008 Moving into his house

    SophiaI looked at the booklet in my hands, and I never knew a book could have so much weight at the moment. What really am I getting myself into? Is this the life I've always wished to live? Why does my life feel like it's crashing before my very eyes?I read through the contract carefully, I was comfortable with some of them, while the others didn't really sit well with me.“Party A (Sophia), must agree to whatever Party B (Ethan) says” I started to read bit by bit and this very first clause of the contract made me scoff.” “After one year of nurturing the child, mother and child will have no connection with each other in any way.” I read this particular clause, and it was difficult to swallow it in.How was I going to be separated from a tender child, does Mr Ethan even realize the need of a mother in a child's life, especially at a very tender age. At this point I felt frustrated, the money involved was now no longer my problem, but this child is also mine too, isn't it? I was

  • A Twist of Fate with the Callous Billionaire    CHAPTER 009 What are you doing here?

    Sophia I started putting my stuffs in order since I will be having lunch in thirty minutes. My eyes went to one of my paintings, it was the painting of my mom, it's been years since I lost my mom but I always see her in my dreams, so every part of what she looked like was in my head.I sighed heavily, I don't want to go back to my past now. I hurriedly took a shower and put on a simple gown from my clothes. I saw the luxury clothes stored in the closets, but I felt more comfortable in my own clothes so I ignored them. I arranged my curly brown hair, letting it fall freely to my shoulders. I looked at myself in the huge dressing mirror and I let out a sad smile, my hazel eyes and pointed nose fitted my face so well.These few days a lot has happened, and I seem to have forgotten what I looked like, and the kind of woman I used to be. Mom would always say, “Sophy, no matter what life throws at you, always find what makes you happy. Never stop being who you are" I remember these words

    “Uhm… I.. l was looking for my room, I didn't seem to know where I came out from, and there was no maid around to help me out.” I said, hoping he'll understand my plight. “So, does this look like your room? and why were you eager to switch on the light? Why do I feel like you're really up to something?” He said, folding his arm across his chest, his looks were frightening. “No, no please, I wasn't, I mean I'm not up to anything, I'm only saying the truth” I said looking down and bitting my bottom lips. “You should be careful, young lady! I do not tolerate nonsense from anyone, I will assign you a personal maid from now on to show you around." He said, leaving the room, and for some reason I could not tell, my feet became glued to the floor. “What are you standing there for?" Ethan half yelled and I flinched. "Oh, I'm sorry" I bowed my head and followed him out. Just as we came out, I met Nicholine and two other maids at the hallway, and I rolled my eyes. Seriously? Where have th

  • A Twist of Fate with the Callous Billionaire    CHAPTER 011 I have to keep my eyes on you...

    EthanI got information from one of the guards I told to keep an eye on Sophia, that she was seen chatting with her personal maid casually. Why would she do that? The maids are expected to do their work, and not have any personal relationship with anyone or anything that's considered to be mine.I had a long day today, and for no reason I had to cancel the next meeting I had when I got the information, and decided to return home.I considered her request to have a motherly connection with my child, and I decided to put her to the test by threatening to cut the contract fee by 50%, and I was surprised that she didn't even show any concern about my offer.I wanted to know if she was like every other woman out there, who cared only about money, and who would pretend and fake just to receive favor from me. I never thought she'd be very comfortable and relaxed about the situation. Or was she just putting up an act?It didn't seem so to me, instead she seems really annoying, how dare she

  • A Twist of Fate with the Callous Billionaire    CHAPTER 012 What did I just hear him say? 

    SophiaI had to resume work already, staying at home felt really boring, I just needed some change of environment, at least for the sake of my mental health. I got up quite early, and prepared for work. The plan was to leave before Mr Williams woke up. I decided to go grab some food in the kitchen myself, then I met Nicholine. “Good morning ma'am, why are you up so early?, are you going somewhere?" Nicholine was the first to see me, and I felt there was a need to tell her where I was heading to. “I'm heading to my workplace, Nicholine, I think I need to resume work, I feel useless staying here at home" I said and she nodded.“Okay ma'am" she said, with a slight bow.I quickly rushed my food and dashed out. I reached the outside of the building, and I noticed the guards looking at me with a confused look, but I pretended like I didn't notice their expressions."Ma'am, please may I know where you're going? One of the guards asked.“Uhm, I'm moving out for work, may I go now?" I said,

    SophiaJust before my eyes, my whole belongings were moved into his room and arranged properly by the maids.This is not a good idea, what is suddenly changing? I thought to myself.I moved into his room, and I was wowed by the interior designs, but there was something odd about his room, it felt so cold, and it was obvious the reason why he was like that.Everything about him felt so cold and lonely, could there be something more behind his attitude?“For how long do you intend on standing there?” I totally forgot myself as I stood rooted at a point, and his voice made me come out from my reverie.I watched him pull off his shirt slowly, and this was the first time I saw him shirtless, any girl would die for such a kind of body build, and it was obvious that he hit the gym regularly.He stepped into the bathroom, and after some minutes he came out drying his hair with another towel. There was a changing room, which he entered and changed into his pajamas.I felt nervous anytime he wa

    EthanAn incoming call from my Grandfather, what does he want this time? I stared at my phone, thinking of whether to pick it or not.“Old master, what do you want this time again?". I said calmly, even though I knew what he wanted to say."You little rascal! Do I still have to beg for you to bring my granddaughter-in-law for me to see what she looks like and get to know her better? For crying out loud she's carrying my great grandson.”His husky voice rang through my ears, and I put the call on speaker preventing it from going directly to my ear."Old master, you know I'm a busy man" I mean what's the need of you meeting her when I'm planning on divorcing her in the next one year and nine months? I actually thought I said that to his hearing, he doesn't have to know this or he'll get a heart attack. “I'm inviting the both of you for dinner tomorrow, and please do not refuse my offer, we'll be using my private house, so you don't have to get into a fight with anyone.” I considered

    SophiaI was dressed in a floor-length, strapless, fitted emerald light-green evening gown. A tiny hand-beaded design along the hem, and neckline, giving it a touch of glamour and perfection. A pair of delicate ankle-strappy silver stiletto high heels. My hair was packed in low bun hairstyles, with a curly part that fell to my face, adorned with delicate, sparkling hair pins. I wore a matching pair of beautiful dangling chandelier earrings, and a silver necklace and bracelet that had similar designs. I had very light make-up on my face, since I wasn't a fan of heavy make-up, and it was perfect. “You look so adorable ma'am," Nicholine was not just a maid, but her creativity in hair styling and fashion sense, gave me an impression that she was more."Thank you Nicholine, I never knew you had so many talents” I smiled at her through the dressing mirror and she blushed."Please don't flatter me,” she blushed even more."Mr Williams is never going to take his eyes off you Sophy," She sm

    Sophia Is everything okay with you? He asked, and I nodded and beamed a fake smile. I tried to remove the thought from my mind that the only reason he would bring me here was just because of his child, not that he had any genuine feelings for me.I felt his gaze on me, as I ate slowly. “Why are you not eating?"He kept quiet and didn't say a word, but instead he continued staring at me “Is there something on my face?" I said, touching my face.He chuckled, but before I could look him in the face, his expression went back to normal, cold and devoid of any expression.Was I mistaken? I clearly heard him chuckle, I've never seen him smile or laugh, and I don't know why but I wish I could see him smile some day. “Focus on finishing your food, Sophia" his words brought me out of my thoughts, and I nodded.I picked up my cutlery to start eating, but I just felt bad about this place. I was anxious, but couldn't tell the reason. “Are you sure you're okay?” I looked at him surprised, did h

    EthanWhat was she doing with Nicholine? I already warned her about mingling with the maids, they were only paid to serve here, and no close relationship of any kind is to be formed with them.“What were you doing with Nicholine?” I asked, feeling a bit upset with what the other maids told me. “Oh that! you said we were going for a dinner date, so she was helping me pick up some nice clothes. I was confused on which one to select, so I called her to help. She's my personal maid, you know." She said, and I scoffed.I walked towards her briskly, each step I took made her flinch, I finally got close to her, since I was taller than her, I hovered over her, staring deeply into her beautiful hazel eyes, I brought my face closer to hers, feeling her rapid breath fan my face.Was she always nervous whenever she was around me?Why am I beginning to feel attached to her, to the extent that I don't want anyone to be seen around her? I pushed the strands of hair blocking her face and tucked it

    Sophia I heard a knock on the door, Mr Williams wouldn't knock before entering his room, so who could that be? I stood up to answer the door, and I saw Nicholine and one of the guards standing outside and holding two big boxes.“And what is this?" I asked with a confused expression on my face.“The boss has sent this for you ma'am” Nicholine said, stretching her hand. He said we should bring the packages to you, "the guard added, and I nodded.I collected the bags from them, and was curious to find out what was in it. The boxes were sealed, and boxes like this are usually from luxury brands, which often contained luxury clothes, bags, and shoes. “We'll take our leave ma'am"I opened the boxes to check what was inside. The first box contained high heels, although not so high. The second box had a beautiful silver purse that was a limited edition. I opened the third box, and there was a beautiful red gown that stopped below my knee. All these items were limited edition, and getting

    Sophia “We'll be going on a dinner date tomorrow night, do well to prepare yourself" Mr Williams said, before leaving the room. I couldn't help but reminisce over the way he held me and I blushed hard. Even though it was just a fake marriage, and even though deep down I still wished he would fall in love with me, so that we could raise this beautiful soul growing inside of me together. I went downstairs to grab some snacks to eat, as I was about entering into the kitchen, I found Nicholine cutting some vegetables, but what held me back was the conversation they were having. “I've never seen Mr Williams this calm before, I guess his losening up a bit"“It's the young miss doing, ever since she came, I noticed some difference in the way he behaved, even though he might be acting all mean sometimes, but you won't compare it to the time the previous young miss cheated on him and every single one of us had to face the other side of him, as if it were our fault.”"I really hoped his da

    SophiaThe drive back home was awfully quiet. I took my gaze to the window, and I suddenly envied the people who were having a walk or taking a bus to their respective homes. The car was really suffocating, and I didn't know why my heart was just racing uncontrollably, was it because of the way I found myself this morning. Gosh, I feel really embarrassed, I must have been a bad sleeper last night, how come I was laying on his chest? I don't like this feeling. If I had superpowers, then I'd disappear and be lying comfortably in my room right now.I stole glances at the man who was as cold as ice beside me. He was busy with his Ipad, and I realized he was truly a workaholic. Which normal person would love to work on weekends? Would he even have time for his own family? I couldn't help but admire his composure. Why do billionaires often seem to be this way, even though not all of them but at least the major ones I've seen. Mr Williams has a powerful aura, anyone who stays around him w
