“ I'm sorry Matthew. I…I never meant to do this” Sophia’s lips shivered as she stood before Matthew whose eyes were blood red.Matthew, in his bare chest and soaked short jeans dripping out water from the bathtub, Walked up to Sophia.“ You are dead meat Sophia “ His murderous lips parted –like he needed her blood to satisfy him.“ Help! Somebody! “ She screamed, holding the key firmly in her hands.While she was shivering by the bedside, Matthew glared at her Like a beast waiting to devour its prey.He held her neck first and gave her another blow on the face and blood momentarily coated Sophia’s left eye.“ Help!” She cried weakly and landed on the bed, her face buried in the white quilt on the bed.Blood stains messed the quilt as Sophia kept bleeding from her head, and nose and now, her left eye was covered with blood.Just as Matthew would pull her up, he punched her stomach, intentionally trying to kill the bastard in Sophia’s womb.Sophia was weak but her hands did not leave
Morning golden glint crept on the horizon bringing in the symphony of a harmonious blend of blue, white, and black hues in Atlanta Georgia.Simon stood on the balcony that morning, glaring at the beautiful colorful sky.He held his phone hand, calling Sophia’s phone but it was not connecting. For almost a month now, he hasn't heard from his daughter. Three days ago Nanny told him Sophia was doing fine and that she didn't have a phone.Yesterday, Joana had returned from Shawn’s place looking fresher, and beautiful and had put on weight in the right places.What surprised him the most was the expensive car Shawn got for Joana and the gifts that accompanied her home. Shawn single-handedly transformed his niece into something else.To be frank, he regretted everything now and even if Shawn would be his best Son-in-law, yet Simon would never forgive himself for destroying the happiness his daughter once built. He could Imagine how things would blossom when his niece finally settled with S
“ Esung, are you sure about this?” Simon asked Nanny.The sore expression on his face momentarily varnished as he could not contain the good news. “ Yes, Mr. Simon, the doctor, confirmed that in my presence “ Nanny chuckled but suddenly remembered the advice of the doctor that came with the good news, and her face darkened.Matthew almost caused Sophia to lose the pregnancy. According to the doctor, if Sophia must carry the child to the full team, she must stay away from unhealthy people and environments for her mental health.“ Oh my goodness, I can't believe this! I'm going to be a grandfather soon” Simon stood up in excitement. This is the best news ever. However, with all the excitement and the joyful laughter that filled the living room, Joana was still hooked on her romantic conversation with her lover.When the interruption from the living room became unbearable for Joana and her lover on the phone, she retired to the room to continue her long conversation with Shawn. “ I
Joana has decided to confront Matthew today in his office. Yesterday, Shawn warned her sternly not to confront Matthew saying he was going to handle the issue himself.However, Joana is adamant. Today, the scumbag, Matthew Callaghan would know the stuff she was made of.The morning came quickly as Joana expected. Last night, she and Shawn spoke for about six hours and had woken up this morning just to find out that they never hung on to each other. A smile escaped her lips as she saw calls still displaying on her screen. “ Shawn” She called but there was no response. She could only hear Shawn snoring faintly from the background. Glancing, at the time, it was 6: 56 am. “ My hero must be very tired from the work in the office, “ She said while holding the phone.“ I can't wait to support you, build with you, and stand by your side, my darling husband. Having you as my husband is like having a never-ending supply of tranquility, love, and security. You are my rock, my life, a
“ What are you doing here, Joana? Don't tell me you came here all because of Sophia” Matthew continued, glaring at Joana from head downwards.The way Matthew was sounding made Joana believe he was indeed a beast and nothing more. She locked the door of her car before taking some steps towards Matthew who was stunned by her sudden transformation.“ I was in your house the other time, Matthew. Your men refused me coming in, why?” Joana tried to be calm. Her exterior was though steel, evoking a sense of confidence and bravery. Matthew giggled. He couldn't still believe Joana drove in the expensive Lexus that cost a fortune. Right now, Matthew was feeling intermediate by her exterior. “ You know what Joana, can we go inside my office and talk? I wouldn't want to keep a beautiful woman like you standing outside the scorching sun” He giggled, giving Joana that look that suggests lust and respect. “ It's fine Matthew,” Joana snapped.Matthew chatted about business and life in his sonoro
Joana drove slowly while on the road. Her neck still hurts from Matthew's grip and she just wanted to get some drugs to relieve the pain.She wondered how much of this hurt Sophia had to swallow as her daily pill.Lost in thought, something flashed through her mind. Yes, something that she’d never thought about. Matthew mentioned some things to her earlier but she can't recall any of them again. She tried to remember Matthew, ’s words but it seemed everything had been erased from her memory. Her head was scorching inside.While on the steering with one hand, she grabbed the water can from the other seat and gulped everything in anger.Immediately, she heard her phone ringing in her bag. With eyes focused on the road, she groped for her phone in her bag and found it. Glancing at the caller, it was Shawn.“ Baby, just give a few minutes I will call you soon” her calm voice struck and she hung up without allowing Shawn to speak.After she hung up, Shawn called again but Joana ignored t
Shawn glanced at the time, it was already 2 pm.While they laughed in the room, Joana kept wondering why Shawn had come so early. She wondered if he ever went to the company that day.They discussed Sophia and how to reach out to her and Shawn assured Joana he would take legal action against Matthew.“I will make sure Matthew rot in jail for all his crimes “ Shawn angrily said, remembering what Matthew did to him in the past.The confidence and trust Joana had for Shawn made her smile sheepishly to herself. Shawn was a man of his word. He hardly gets involved in issues like this but with his involvement in Sophia’s case, Matthew is a dead meat.“ Thank you for coming through for my sister gosh! Matthew is a beast” She said, coaxing her neck again. Telling Shawn that Matthew almost choking her to death would cause more crisis so she swollen hard that piece of information. However, when Shawn glanced at Joana, his body craved for her. Gently, he pulled Joana’s long hair that cove
The street was warm but lonely. The sun was dry and crispy with a golden glint, cast to the horizon.Shawn made a quick call on the phone and hung up immediately after he delivered his message to the person he called.While he drove, he kept remembering the mark he saw on Joana’s neck and suddenly felt like navigating to Matthew's company to punch his face.However, Matthew would be the last person Shawn was planning to be silent. Maya was out of the picture and Shawn was on his way to carry out his vendetta on the second person. While Shawn drove, he spoke to his manager on the phone about the new project the company was working on. He’d left the company earlier to see Joana and carry out his purpose. It took Shawn about an hour from Virginia Hills to get to his destination. As he parked his car, he glanced at the environment. The place was quiet and serene but today, Shawn had decided to interrupt the tranquility in the environment. Long before Shawn returned to his father,
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
