Sophia stirred in her sleep. The bright rays causing her to lose sleep and she opened her eyes.
It was too bright outside, you could never guess after a long cold, and drizzling night that the sun would be so intense.She sat up on her bed and recalled last night's event. she turned to space next to her hoping to find Jason there. But he was gone.
But the sheets were rumpled indicating someone was once there. She thought when he must have woken and limped back to his room.
If she could remember properly, his injury was very painful because he kept on grunting and trying to ease up his pain.
He must need some help with it. Sophia turned to Sabina who was getting her bath ready.
"Did... Was someone here when you came in?" She asked unsu

"You sent for me?." "Yes I did, this is yours" he dropped his passport on the mahogany table before him. "What's the need for it then? Thought you seized it?." "Your mother told me how you accosted her because you wanted to elope after your wedding," Ernest said, adjusting in his armchair. Nodding in realization. "She tells you everything. What's left to say then?." "You insulted her!... Am alright with you disappointing and disrespecting me but your mother?!." "It wasn't my intention to" Jason defended himself. "I was pissed off, I felt like a teenager! I am an adult for god's sake and still have my parents seize my passport without my knowledge." "We wouldn't treat you that way if you had the least respect for yourself." "Then why give it back now? Or you think I've become comfortable in my new home or I've suddenly become respon

He woke subconsciously!... He stared at her sleeping form beside him. She was a deep sleeper, He noticed!. He would often wake in the middle of the night, either to grab a cup of water or use the bathroom but she never for once woke, only stirred. He also noticed how disturbed her face looked sometimes like she was having a nightmare. But often she slept peacefully, which was why he always found himself beside her at night. It became worse after he walked in on her with the doctor, Stan. He was filled with envy, he never had to beg for attention from any woman. They always came begging with it even charlotte at some point. But Sophia was different, it was like she was immune to his charms and influence. It disturbed him to the core to think she was his wife and he deserved some attention from her but he got none. Only what he could afford was to admire her sleeping form and steal back

She felt pressure there!...Sophia woke in the midnight pressed, but felt like a log of wood was pressing down on her abdomen, she stirred and whimpered.Almost like a struggle for breath, she sat up and Jason was cuddled beside her with his left hand around her abdomen and she needed to use the bathroom quickly, having no legs was already an extra delay to her immediate need for relief.She peeled his hand off from her but he didn't budge. She almost cried. She forgot to use the bathroom before going to sleep. that was the only way she wouldn't wake in the middle of the night to pee because it was always a difficult task especially without the help of any of the maids.Now Jason seemed too tired to even stir unlike him. he was always woken by the slightest of noise. Sophia didn't want to disturb him but had to or else she wouldn't make it far even to the bathroom door.She pushed an

Monica sat on the worn-out chair and watched her elder sister complain about her envious life rubbing it on her face and her poor wretched life with her husband Tony. "You shouldn't be complaining about anything at all Maureen. You have money now and can afford anything you want at any cost, but look at me... I barely can fend for myself and my daughter, and my husband is wayward. sometimes I wish he was dead so I would be free to go about my life!" She sighed dejectedly. Maureen watched her sister in wonder."You are your problem, Monica!" She spat. "Excuse me?." "Yes! I'll say it again. How many times have I advised you to leave Tony? But once you return home to him he feeds you with lies and dirty sex then you forget yourself mtchewww!!." "He's the father to my children and I can't take care of them alone, so I considered them too" Monica lamented. "Then wh

She was a woman of glamour and exotic styles, Who loved going out of her way to do things for her loved ones. So when she visited, she came with her chef from her home and some maids saying she wanted to prepare a nice large dinner for her son and his wife. Surprisingly she wasn't cold towards Sophia.

She wanted to have dinner with the new couple. Sophia sat in her room facing her vanity mirror preparing herself for the dinner which by all means she wanted to avoid.

It was raining heavily!!!.... 6:30 am. That was when Sabina left her quarters to come to work in the rain, she was always known to be punctual, unlike her fellow maid Zara who procrastinated a lot. Sabina needed to be at the house on time and help Sophia with her early morning routine. No matter the weather, one needed to bathe and prepare for the day, and being very responsible and quiet, she hurried with her umbrella and entered the vicinity. Once inside, she turned on the passage light and living room through to the kitchen. Sometimes the house would be so blacked out with the thick curtains preventing light from outside penetrating. One had to turn on the light bulbs for a better view. She checked the kitchen and after having a little breakfast she walked to Sophia's room to wake her up as usual. Sabina thought of her life in the house. She liked it, at least she wasn't treated ba

She fell!... She thought she could walk again, so soon. With her therapy and exercise going successfully she wanted to try walking on her own without help from anyone. At least it would help her escape the walls of this house reminded me so much of her disability. Sophia stood from her wheelchair and held onto the dining table for support, but she miscalculated. The tiles were so slippery for her convalescence legs and she slipped, knocking down a glass jar with her. The shattered particles sliced into her upper elbow. It took a while for Sophia to feel the pain and she wailed sorrowfully. No one was nearby to help. Jason was out avoiding her as usual after their last ugly encounter and she had no idea where Sabina and Zara were. As she sat there in pain, she thought this wasn't the first time it happened. Suddenly it all played like a movie, Déjà v

He blamed himself for it!... He stood by the hallway and waited impatiently feeling out of place. Everyone deserved to be with her at this point except for him. He was a monster and deserved to be cast away from the earth's surface. But he still stood there with a little hope that she might still accept him. Jason sighed for the umpteenth time since he got a heads up from one of the maids about Sophia's situation. He left everything to his uttermost surprise and drove recklessly to the hospital and was told to wait in the lobby because she was in the ICU. His mother came sooner and gushed over how dangerous home accidents were and talked endlessly of the worst-case scenarios, causing Jason to almost snap at her. It wasn't what he wanted to hear at that point, negativism. His mother sat behind him looking collected and calm but he could see the turmoil she was passing through and not really because Sophia was inside there bu

Soundtrack: (Memories by Maroon5)🎵🎶 Three months later... The butler who stood at the entrance to the Bestman inc. Handed him his fur coat efficiently as he sighted his boss's son stepping out of the elevator with some of the company workers, they were all engulfed in their deep conversations that they didn't notice anyone else around. As business tycoons they were, every other thing around them didn't matter at all until they were out of the company premises, It was all strictly business. After a few banter with his colleagues, Jason finally took the opened door and stepped out into the cold winter. It was Christmas already. The streets were filled with Christmas vibes with decorations of white, green, and red everywhere. Children in the playground built snowballs and castles. You could see the anticipatory smiles on people's faces because it was a season of love and sharing. J

He hated the smell of hospitals... It nauseated him to the brim. Everyone there always looked somewhat depressed and pitiable and it wasn't a nice feeling at all. Jason adjusted his black nose mask which he intentionally wore to prevent excessive inhalation of the hospital antiseptics and drugs that had become a permanent smell. As he walked through the hallway in search of the cashier section for the final discharge bills with his unkempt curls bouncing all overthe place without care, Jason observed the stolid atmosphere, there were a lot of people trooping in and out of the general hospital all in their world of problems alongside their loved ones. It depressed him to know that such an amount of people fell sick each day. It may sound unbelievable but he never needed to visit a general hospital even at a younger age. But when Mason called the day before, informing him of Sean's attempt to take his own life, Jaso

Touche, if the tear rubber Audi E-Tron that came as a wedding present a few months ago was human, it would be ballistic for the graceless and heavy-handed way Jason drove it in the streets through the highway to the familiar quiet aesthetic area he lived in. The thrill he felt at the latest discovery that Charlotte wasn't pregnant for him was unimaginably relieving. The only thought in his skittish mind was Sophia. His dear wife, to return in her arms as he left her that cold morning, and if only she would still be in her silky nighties with her curls shrouding her high cheekbones and plump lips nothing would give him more pleasure than to cup her in his arms and apologize for his irrationalities and promise her forever together. It would settle any indifference she had towards him. Jason smiled at the thought of something new with Sophia. She was like a breath of fresh air that he'd longed for and he knew deep down

Ernest Bestman paced about in his office deep in thought. His wife and son were seated across him with uncertainty. Jason sat beside his mother feeling uncomfortable and anxious.He was scared of his father's reaction towards his current situation. Yesterday's events had him running on his heels with alacrity for solutions. He couldn't stomach the intensity of what Charlotte had thrown at him the previous day prompting his early rise. As he took a longing glance at his breathtaking innocent wife spread on the rumpled sheets drawing in alluring shallow breaths, the sound a strong sedative, an antidote for his persistent insomnia which had haunted him since the incident that brought them together. He would have loved for nothing more than to lay by her side till whenever the sun was down. Jason shook his head in dismay at his hopeless romantic thoughts. Carefully and unwillingly he s

It rained heavily that night!... He was drunk and drained of energy. He wanted to give up everything so badly but the thought of a lonely someone kept him sane and he wanted to fight for what they had till his last breath. That was his conclusion as he stepped into the dark cold room to find her awake staring into nothingness. His feet felt too heavy to move once her apprehensive gaze fell on him, her countenance changed to that of a stranger. “You still keep them around?” Sophia questioned dryly. Jason stopped moving closer. “What?!.” “What did she want now?” she continued, ignoring his previous question. Jason wanted to explain everything from top to bottom, but the intensity of what he was about to say weighed down on him so much, he was afraid Sophia could not bear it. “Why are you doing this?... What’s your bloody aim Jason?!” she

The August visit!!!... Charlotte rushed towards Jason once her gaze fell on him. It had been weeks and days he had been avoiding her and she didn't know what to do. The first time she came to his house she was dead drunk and didn't know her bearing. She had to prod Sean before he revealed Jason's address. Relieved, was how she felt setting eyes on Jason who looked angry and tired. She fell into his arms before Jason could comprehend a thing. "Baby, thank goodness you're alright. I thought you've gone on one of your disturbing escapades" she showered swift wet kisses on his neck as she clutched to him firmly, afraid he might push her away. Sophia rolled in at that moment to behold the unprecedented drama. This time around, her emotions weren't just everywhere they were drained. After the little fight, they had on their way home she was expecting to return home and rest maybe t
