“ Leave? To where? Sophia sternly asked, her heart beating fast in her chest. “ Oh, don't ask me such questions, Sophia. Just do as I say” Matthew commanded at once.“ No, Matthew. I have a right to know where you are taking me too. I am not your wife any longer, I solely belong to myself so you can't use me like you did before “ Sophia was brave.Matthew glared at the once fragile Sophia he knew and took some steps towards her.Seeing how furious he was, Sophia grabbed a flower vase to protect herself with it.“ Now, Matthew, if you come anywhere close, I promise to whack your head with this vase on my hands” she threatened, her hands shivering as she held the flower vase.“ Did you just threaten me?” He asked, standing on a spot surprised at Sophia’s bravery. “ Just don't come an inch close to me and don't you ever dare ask me for my body again. I made a mistake marrying you at first” She let out in anger, her eyes uninterruptedly fixed on Matthew as she stood numbed on the spot.
While the cook was suddenly attending to Sophia, Matthew rushed downstairs fully dressed to leave. Tonight was another meeting in Derrick's mansion. Walking leisurely to the living room, he noticed how weak Sophia was but he ignored her and walked past in a hurry without saying a word to her. She made him mad earlier. Kayla, Matthew’s mistress, has been demanding the presence of Sophia in the other mansion for the drug business. However, Matthew wanted to take Sophia to LILI Hills but suddenly had a diverted plan when got a call from Derrick.Since Kim tried defrauding the Matty Cash Empire, the company has been having serious challenges although all the money that Kim tried making away with, was refunded.Some of the staff were compelled to leave after hearing that the company would go bankrupt and this has affected the productivity of the company. Before driving out of the house that evening, Matthew had warned his men sternly about Sophia leaving the house. Even though Mat
“ Sweetheart, I am so nervous. I mean this was going to be the first time meeting with your dad” Joana looked away from Shawn’s gaze. Today is Thursday and Shawn had come to pick her up from Virginia Hills where she lives to see his Father. “ My Father is the coolest man ever to be with. You don't have to worry about anything. Just worry only about me” He giggled.“ Of course, You are my baby, the only man I can worry about “ She replied, and they laughed.Joana reaches out her hands to Shawn fondling the hairs on his face. They were so smooth and relaxing to touch and Shawn almost fell into the sweet romance. “Your father must be as handsome as you are. I mean I feel super proud having a man like you around you. I will kill any woman that tries to snatch you away from me” Joana confessed while running her hands around Shawn's hair. Everything about her husband-to-be was so bewitching.Thank goodness, Shawn is a good man. One that can never lust after another ladyNot that Sh
The morning light crawls over the landscape. It casts a golden glint on the earth, illuminating everything around, and awakening everyone from slumber. The tickling of the clock could be heard aloud in Shawn’s elegant bedroom as serenity spread its wings all over the walls of the room.On the bed, Laid Joana, wrapped and curled up in the tender warm hand of the man she loved.It's been a long night yet both Shawn and Joana seemed not satisfied with sleep even when the clock was ticking loud and clear. Since they both put off their phones before they went to bed last night, it became easy not to get interrupted. They were both lost In the world of slumber, curling up each other's hands and ignoring the radiating glint of daylight. Today was Shawn’s big day. A day they all had been waiting for and he was glad he had his Father and his lover, Joana by his side.As the birds kept singing their melodious song, Shawn reluctantly turned his body to the distraction of the melodious chats
From the crowd, Shawn could see Maya in a sultry shiny silver nude dress.Like a dream, Maya pushed out visibly from the crowd with that mischievous look that still kept Shawn amazed. Admittedly, Shawn would say Maya is some clown. One who aimlessly continues chasing shadows but today, he’d come to believe that Maya is the most relentless lady he has ever met. Her drive in the pursuit of him was so strong and even when she knew he could never be hers, she continued being strong every day, keeping to every single commitment she had single-handedly built. Shawn, seeing Maya’s mischievous face in the crowd, suddenly began to withdraw from the intense wrath he once had for her, and instead, he admired her commitment deep down. Wow! All this hard work for a man whose heart is tied down to another lady? Shawn imagined.Maya could see Shawn from where she sat as he kept giving his opening speech with ease and she swallowed hard. It had been six months since she set her eyes on Shawn.
While standing in the crowd, Shawn surprised Joana with a gift of a brand-new Lexus RX.The aura of the hall suddenly transformed into a love-filling wedding celebration and Joana could not believe what Shawn just did in such an elaborate event that was graced by even mayors and great CEOs of different organizations and groups.Everyone who stood in awe of the moment was either clapping and cheering or Gritting their teeth and showing jealousy.“ Shawn, why did you have to do this?” Joana said in a hushed tone as they stood together and Shawn smiled at her. Gosh, she wished the earth could just swallow her up.He glanced at her and held her to face the crowd.” Everyone, you are invited to my wedding in two weeks” he shouted from the microphone. Just as the crowd collided their hands, loud music buzzed from the speakers and the emcee walked up to the stage announcing the dance of the CEO and his Fiancee.“ Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the dance floor, the finest and younge
The evening was peaceful at Shawn's Empire. According to one of Shawn’s strategies, today's inauguration was to be a major upliftment for Sterling Group, and that; he actualized.Today’s collaboration was massive. The emergence of Shawn as the new CEO of Sterling Group has increasingly pulled the company from the stage where it has been to a greater height and everyone was proud of Shawn.In the cool of the evening that day, Joana could not hide her excitement especially now since Shawn had been officially made the owner of the prestigious group and Fabiola’s empire too.As hectic as the day was, it was filled with joy and laughter and most excitingly, Joana was gifted a brand new Lexus RX One of the most costly cars in the world. She giggled to herself as she sat in Shawn's bedroom taking off the necklace Shawn got for her. Once, she glanced at her left finger and smiled. She fiddled with the gemstone on top of her engagement ring and a certain euphoria leaped in her heart tha
9 pm, Matthew's mansion. Matthew got back from Derrick’s Mansion that night, reeking of Alcohol.Derrick and Matthew have become good friends since Matthew decided to forget the case of Harrold and stop making secret findings about Derrick too.All the cartel members knew how dreaded Derrick was and had advised Matthew to give up on his secret mission to find out Derrick’s secret.It still pained Matthew about Harrold and till today, no one ever toed the line by confronting Derrick about Harrold. No one even knew whether Derrick killed Harrold or if Harrold was still alive in his den.That night, Matthew was greatly provoked by his friends in the Cartel. They were challenging him to do something he had never done and tonight, he was going to prove them wrong.Everywhere was quiet in the mansion and except for the two of his bodyguards who were still awake in the living room, every other person was asleep.Matthew was not heavily drunk so he could still find his way around his house
When Sophia got the news that Matthew was arrested some months ago, she almost felt light at the same time grieved.How time flies. It's been four months now and Sophia has not gotten over the pain of her shattered life.Up till now, Sophia still believed she was carrying Matthew’s child in her womb. Today, however, she would confirm the truth about the real father of the child she is carrying in her womb.While she sat in the hospital with Matthew’s toothbrush in her hand, a tear dropped from her eyes.Three months ago after Shawn and Joana wedded, they had not visited for once.Sophia didn't believe Shawn would buy her father such an elegant mansion in Cabbagetown. At least, she was grateful they didn't return to the slum.These days, Sophia could see the disappointment in her father's eyes each time she looked at him. Each time she woke up, the thought of Shawn always popped up in her mind and would be accompanied by a feeling of suicide.As she sat sobbing in silence in the h
The sun rose so early in the sky, painting the earth with its golden light.It was another hopeful morning for Matthew as he woke up looking more fulfilled.For one week now, Matthew has been throwing all forms of parties in his big mansion in LILI Hills.To Matthew, it almost seemed it was Sophia who was restricting his happiness but now that she’s gone, he allowed himself to drown in pleasure and excitement the most.From the day Matthew shared their s*x video with his friends and Derrick, he became more than a beast without any form of mercy.As the morning sun penetrated Matthew's eyes, he opened his eyes and rubbed them rashly.On the right and the left side of the bed were two ladies, stack naked.“ The heck! “ He exclaimed, glancing at the ladies. Yesterday was crazy and Matthew ended up having of s*x with different ladies. The two ladies who were by his side were the last set of ladies he had threesomes with.Just yesterday, Matthew received his deal from WACO. Although the
Two days later, 8: 01 pm>>>>>The sky was fainted with hues of gold as sunlight had kissed the earth its final farewell.The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the stars shone like diamonds scattered all over the world, casting a celestial glow on the roofs of the cities.In the glowing glint of the chandelier in an elegant opulent mansion, stood Shawn and Joana gazing at each other in love.Silence engulfed the air, leaving only the whispers of promises from the newly joined wedded couples.The long-awaited wedding that everyone has been waiting for just ended some three hours ago. It wasn't easy for Shawn and his new bride to escape from the crowd who wanted one thing or the other from him.Nobles, CEOs of great organizations, Mayors, business partners, and other prominent individuals all graced the wedding and it was a narrow escape for Shawn to lurk out just to be alone with the woman he loves. Although the greatest vows had been taken at the altar earli
That day, Sophia woke up and found herself in the hospital. “ Where am I? “ she faintly said. She turned her head to the right side of the bed and found Nanny Esung sitting on the single chair, resting her head on the bed..Lazily, Sophia narrowed her eyes around and discovered there was an intravenous cannula fixed to her hand so she could barely move.Taking a deep breath, she tried pulling herself up but suddenly interrupted Nanny’s rest.“ Sophia, you’re awake,” Nanny said in surprise. She touched Sophia's forehead and held her hands immediately. “ Nanny, Where are my Dad and Sister? How did I get in here? I can't remember a thing?” her weak lean eyes flickered.Sophia was quite loquacious and Nanny was confused about the first question to answer.“ Uhm, Sophia, your dad would be here soon, and Joana—” Nanny paused.“ And Joana? Where is she? I need her by my side” Sophia persisted and Nanny shut her eyes.“ I'm sorry, Sophia but Joana is getting ready for her wedding that is c
After Matthew successfully dragged Sophia from the drug room to the living room, Sophia was already giving up.The torture was too much for her to bear and she just wished she could die.“ Why are you doing this to me, I am carrying your child” She muttered half dead but was lucky it didn't get pierced into Matthew's ears.“ You have the nerve to open your legs for another man to pounce on you. Stupid crazy witch “ Matthew fumed.He managed not to lay a finger on her. She is leaving his life already. Kayla was calling after Matthew while she ran downstairs.Chasing Sophia away is like living out of his dream. The company was not doing well again but he still has a three-year deal with WACO that is worth billions of dollars. Getting to the living room Kayla could not find Matthew around. He probably may have dragged Sophia outside. “ What the heck is going on?” She said, hurrying outside. It was getting late already and Kayla could see Matthew drag Sophia fiercely outside the gate
Matthew got to his first mansion at 5:06 pm. Without an idea that he was being followed.The money for Simon’s house, his father-in-law, which he sold out has just been credited to his account. However, as he disappeared inside the mansion, the white car that had been tailing him came to a halt at the front of his gateOne of the men took his phone and called Shawn immediately. “ Sir, we found his second hideout?” his voice struck on the phone. The man muttered a few more words on the phone and then took pictures of the mansion before they finally drove off.Back inside the mansion, Mrs Cooper peeped and saw Matthew had arrived so she dashed back to the kitchen to finish up with the food she was preparing.Mrs Cooper has been wondering where Matthew took Sophia to. She was shocked that Matthew came back to the house without Sophia by his side.While Mrs Cooper prepared dinner that evening, She kept thinking about Sophia. It's been days now and she couldn't find traces of Sop
The atmosphere around Matty Cash Empire that noon was quite serene.Matthew had gone for a business meeting with his secretary. For now, the company has been struggling financially with many of their partners lost.Returning to the company at 3 pm, Matthew collapsed on his chair in the office. “ What a tough day” he sighed, wrapping his head around the outcome of the business meeting earlier. Convincing their once loyal partners to still do business with them was not an easy task. Matthew discovered that since he fired Kim as his assistant, the company's progress has slowly depreciated.Now, Matthew regrets trusting the company into the hands of the cruel espionage, Kim. He was sure Kim was still working with Drill.Days ago, he noticed some men parading around the company's vicinity but being too downcast, he had allowed them without interrogation.As Matthew sat trying to bring his mind back from the stress of the day, his new secretary walked in.“ What is it again, Evie?” Mat
At Sterling Group, Shawn was occupied with a pile of work in the office. Now he sees why Joana was offering to assist him In the company after they got married. It would be better if they worked in the company together. He can't be tired of having her around him anyway.As he sat, his phone rang and he immediately took the calls.“ Inspector, how is the case going? Any news?” His lovely baritone echoed on the phone.“ Yes sir! “ Replied the inspector. “ Oh really? Can I hear the reports?“ Shawn answered, taking a break from typing on the laptop. His hands have been running deftly on the keyboard for a while without taking a break.“ Yes, sir! “ Replied the inspector ” We found out that he is a drug trafficker who owns two mansions and he uses one for his illegal business. According to our investigation team, we also discovered he belonged to a dangerous group that is headed by Derrick DE Lord” the man explained on the phone. Shawn shut his eyes while trying to process all the
Simon was seated with his head buried on the floor when Joana and Nanny suddenly walked in.“ Hey, Uncle. Don't tell me you are going insane all because of that crazy son-in-law of yours” She fumed and collapsed on the bed.Looking at Simon, he felt disappointed but more importantly, he looked woeful for letting his daughter marry Matthew. “ What happened Joana? Are they sending us out of the house?” He lifted his pale face to Joana and Nanny.With a nod, Joana replied, “ Yes” Nanny was already perplexed. She was worried about so many things, especially where to go. She was stranded when Matthew fired her a few months back and now, she is almost caught in between the deep blue sea with the devastating hurricanes and the devil's web.For a long time, Nanny had wanted to save a reasonable amount of money to start up a petty restaurant. But Suddenly, her husband became ill which drained all her lifetime savings. To make things worse, after spending such a huge amount of money, her h
