EthanI was just left out in the conversation as if I wasn't even existing, I watched the duo getting along, will that even be necessary since we'll be divorcing soon?“Grandpa, please can we have dinner already?” I said interrupting the conversation.“Can you leave me to have a chat with my grand daughter- in-law, she'll soon be giving me a great grandson soon.”“Fine," I said, as I shrugged and brought out my phone from my suit pocket.“So, my dear, let's continue from where we stopped," he said, patting the back of her hands.“I grew up in Eastern City, I moved over to the Southern city after I lost my parents in a tragic accident while I was eight years old, I was the only one that survived, then I was adopted by my foster family who raised me. I work in one of the biggest Coffee houses in the Southern city.” Sophia faced grandpa after saying, I felt touched where she said she lost her parents, we both have similar tragic events.“Oh dear, I'm so sorry for your loss.

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
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
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
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 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
Two weeks earlier. Sophia “Finally!” I shut my eyes, and took a deep breath. “This is it! The day I waited patiently for” I was taken into the hospital ward by one of the nurse aides. I looked around the neatly arranged ward, and the pungent smell of sterile antiseptic sent a wave of anxiety crashing over me. The nurse aide could see right through me, and she gave me a reassuring smile that the process was going to be a smooth one, and that I had nothing to fear. “Let me help you put this on," she said, gesturing at the neatly folded patient’s gown in her hands. The procedure was about to begin. The young doctor came in, he was putting on a white lab coat, with his name boldly imprinted on the left side of his coat, “Dr Brown”, I muttered under my breath. He walked in with two other nurses, who carried a surgical tray, covered neatly with a blue piece of cloth, their expressions were intense, and I could swear my heart skipped a bit. After two weeks of tracking my ovulatio

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
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
