Chapter 1

Prologue

Sophie’s Pov

Outside the sun shone perfectly, like it was quarried by God for not shining brightly the day before. The weather seemed clear unlike what the weather app had stated.

“Ouch” I winced as my finger involuntarily hit the sharp edge of my dresser, I placed the affected finger in my mouth while I sucked on It lightly.

My eyes stopped at the wall clock and I suddenly realized it was past ten “Shit” I cussed silently while I hurriedly tied my hair up in a messy bun, I readjusted my black trouser and my pink top after which I hurriedly wore a black flat while I put around my neck a white cross bag which I had earlier placed on my bed.

The sound of my phone ringing from the dresser interrupted me just as I was about thinking to apply makeup. I picked up my phone from my bed and then placed it in between my ear and shoulder while I used my other hand to arrange my eyebrow.

“Missing me already?” I smiled into my phone.

“You didn’t give me a chance to” Chris, my fiancé replied while I groaned in return.

Even though we had spent the night together and I left him just this morning, Chris always made it an habit to call immediately he was out of the bed and about to start his day.

“Can you make it to Best Choice” Chris spoke again referring to our favorite restaurant that we usually eat.

“Can it wait?” I asked hurriedly after my eyes saw the clock again suddenly reminding me of the time “Albert has been kind enough and I don’t want to take anymore excuses” I added.

“If that was the case then I wouldn’t have asked at all” Chris told me “I spoke to Albert already and he agreed to give you a few hours off” Chris told me again.

“Chris” I tried to protest but he bit me to it.

“I’ll send my driver to pick you up” Chris said into the phone and then hanged up.

After the call had ended I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong somewhere. Chris never ends call in that manner except something was wrong or maybe he lost something valuable.

Maybe it was one of his numerous surprises, he wants to introduce me to his family. Chris and I have been in a relationship for the past five years now, regardless of the fact that we got engaged a few month ago and I was yet to meet his family, I was certain he would take me to them when the time was right, I knew for a fact whatever it was Chris was protecting me.

I sat on my bed while I waited for his driver to come pick me up, I used the opportunity to scroll through my phone and also replied to the message Gia, my best friend had sent to me last night.

A few minutes later my phone beeped and I jumped up when I got the message that Chris diver had arrived. I walked out of my room, locking the door behind me I hurried down the stairs.

“I’m going Mom” I said to mom who only nodded in return while I dashed out . She wasn’t all happy about my relationship with Chris, although Chris was perfect there was absolutely nothing he would do that would please mom, as mom thought I was blinded by the fact that he has money.

“Steve” I smiled at Chris’s driver who parked just right outside the gate. Immediately Steve noticed me his eyes brightened as usual and he smiled back brightly even more than me.

“Miss Sophie” He nodded in return wanting to open the car door for me but I beat him to it.

“You make me feel old” I groaned jokingly while I entered the car.

“I don’t think I can even if I wanted to” Steve said with a smile just as he got in and fastened his seat belt.

Dimples I had no idea he had up until now appeared at the side of his cheek. Steve has been Chris driver for years now and he had been one of my very best supporter.

The ride to best choice was pretty enjoyable, Steve and I chatted about little things which put my mind a little at ease concerning Chris behavior earlier.

We arrived at best choice “Chris care about you, you know that right?” Steve asked just as I was about to get down from the car.

I studied his face for a minute, I could swear there was something else laced to his voice but I couldn’t put a hand to it “I’ll keep that in mind, sir” I saluted jokingly while I got down from the car and headed into the restaurant.

Chris sat at the far end of the restaurant, his brown hair covered most part of his face while he focused on something on his phone. He was dressed in a casual black jean and a red top unlike his usual cooperate dressing.

Immediately he sighted me his chocolate eyes brightened and a smile covered his fair extremely gorgeous face. He stood up to move a chair for me to sit opposite him and I smiled at his sweet gesture.

“So I...” Chris started to say after we had both settled in.

“Let’s order something first, I haven’t eaten anything this morning” I told him just as my stomach protested in his own way.

“Sure” Chris smiled while he made our usual order of burger, fries, a small sized ketchup and a coke.

Immediately the food arrived I digged into mine hurriedly while Chris stared at me amused “If you’re going to say something please do, your stares can barely make me eat comfortably” I told him while I pushed the food to my side.

“Soph” He said, his smile died down and whatever he was going to say I knew it wasn’t going to go well.

I stared at him hopefully while wishing he was going to tell me something good not the negative thoughts I have had on my mind for a while now.

“Lets break up” I heard him say after like forever, I studied his face and for a minute it seemed to be void of all emotion and if I didn’t know any better I would say it was somebody else and not Chris.

“Okay, That was funny” I replied after some minutes with a hard laugh at the end of my lips.

“Soph” Chris eyes met mine “Let’s break up Soph” He repeated again even more clearer that he was the first time.

“If this is a joke or some prank I wouldn’t take this Chris” I warned Chris.

“Don’t you see it Soph? You’re not good enough for me” Chris said much to my surprise “No matter how hard you try you can never fit into my world” He added while his eyes said even more than that.

Tears blurred my vision as my whole body shook, I felt every good thing in me crumble. Chris was my everything, he was my strength, my hope, my light and above all the father of my unborn child. “Chris” I said this time in a pleading tone.

“You’re not good enough for me” Chris rephrased his words while he stood up, without sparing me a glance he walked out while I tried to reassure myself that this was nothing more than a prank that Chris would come back for me.

I had no idea how long I waited but I hoped Chris would come and say this was all a joke. He was my world, how could I possibly live without him. I felt my legs and hands started to shake while tears clouded my vision, my head started to feel really heavy and I wished I could fall quickly into the peace that I had started to see.

“Sophie” I faintly heard the voice of someone I recognized to be Madam Ella, while her soft firm hands wrapped around my shoulder “Stay with me Sophie” Was the last thing I heard before I finally drawn into the peace I had welcomed.

Chapter 1
Six Years Later.  Chresanto’s Pov  Outside, the sky was gloomy. Heavy clouds hover over it creating a tense atmosphere. It would rain soon.  It rumbled softly outside, causing a small chill to run down my spine immediately I stepped out of the plane as I had just arrived New-York.  I shrugged it off and made a way to find a taxi. The airport was parked with so many people, some who desired to leave, some who were seeing off a loved one and some with a signed board that showed clearly they came to receive someone.  Mom and Dad claimed they were too busy to pick me up, and I didn’t want to disturb Chris since he has the company alread

Sophie’s Pov “Rinaaaaaaaaa” I yelled for what seemed like the fifth time, just as my eyes moved quickly to the wall clock which was hanged at the far top of the wall.  I clutched both Rina’s lunch box and her school bag in my left hand while I tried to use my right hand to arrange my hair which already seemed out of place “If you do not come here this minute Rina, I swear I’ll come get you myself” I shouted even more angrily.  I had a job interview to meet up with and Rina wasn’t making it any easy for me “Sorry mummy” Rina rushed in while giving her signature puppy face.  I sighed while I ruched to the kitchen to ensure the gas was locked “Hope you didn’t forget something?” I asked

Sophie’s Pov  I spent the whole weekend shopping for new office wears and some flats as I had just one that Gia gifted me a few months back during my project defense. Now the weekend was over and I got even more excited about my new job. Both Rina and I just had breakfast, after clearing the table and promising to do the dishes later I rushed to the mirror to ensure my makeup was intact even though it seemed like I didn’t have any on and my dress was intact.  “Rina, your backpack” I scolded Rina who seemed to have left her backpack either in the kitchen or her room.  She made an ‘Ohhhhh’ sound while she rushed into the kitchen and then came back in a blink of an eye. &

Chresanto’s Pov  As soon as I stepped into my office, my cell phone beeped causing me to pull my eyes away from the file on the desk.  “Sir the new employees await you at the conference hall” Josh my secretary reminded me.  I had just arrived from the CEO’s breakfast meeting, which was said to be a compulsory meeting for all CEOS. Josh stated it was a grand way of announcing that I was the new CEO of Lightwood Company.  I had all weekends to study all about Lightwood Company and I was glad I already had working experience else it would have been hard taking over the company just like dad had stated.  “Sir” Jo

Chresanto’s Pov  “And what exactly do I have next?” I asked Josh while I stood solely in front of my mirror fighting with the fact that I had refused to get my tie right.  It was already past 4pm and as much as I would have loved a first less busy day at work that wasn’t the case. I have had from breakfast to lunch with several investors, share and stock holders and also people who could influence the future of Lightwood.  “Dinner with Senator Banko sir and his wife the Minister of finance” Josh told me while he arranged some papers into a certain file.  “Details?” I requested for almost pissed, while I removed my tie angrily after several failed attempt to fix it.

Sophie’s Pov “The files Sophie, I instructed they be on alphabetical order” Mrs Perry who was in charge of teaching us all we needed to know about the company said to me in a loud stern voice.  “I’m sorry but some of this files were not labeled” I replied.  “Then you should haves checked with me first” She shouted again pushing me aside slightly while she arranged the files herself.  “Exactly what you should have done” I rolled my eyes while I murmured to myself.  I was almost forced to tell her she should just quit if she so much hates her job. She had taken it to vent her frustration upon me and four other new employees that where

Sophie’s Pov  The next few weeks went by smoothly. I had successfully adjusted to working at Lightwood, and found a way to deal with Mrs Perry’s drama. Thomas and I got pretty close, he had been an employee at Lightwood for about two years now and he pretty much understood everything there is to know about Lightwood which made my job a lot more easier.  Thankfully I hadn’t seen much of the CEO as I didn’t want to be reminded of our encounter and I wanted him to forget about my stupid look on that day.  “Heading home?” Thomas asked behind me while I was heading towards the elevator.  I couldn’t be more excited that weekend was finally here as I haven&

Chresanto’s Pov  The weekend was finally over, I couldn’t be more happy. All through the weekend, mom had to convince me to go on three blind dates, all of which were a disaster.  Even when I came home I had little or no rest with Bella breathing down my neck. Thankfully I had contacted someone to help move my stuff to my new apartment, where I wouldn’t have to deal with neither mom nor Bella.  I arrived at the office pretty my earlier than everyone as I didn’t want mom to see me leave. I slumped into my chair exhausted. I spent the next few hours attending to a few mails and files I couldn’t attend to over the weekend.  I heard a slight knock and then the door

Chresabto’s Pov  “And what exactly am I supposed to do with that?” I asked no one in particular “You call this your grand idea?” I turned to Mrs Powell who stood at front of the conference room with the projector light reflecting on some part of her face and body.  The past few days had been a hectic one for me, the company had lost so much lately and I have been given a deadline by the investors else they’ll have to pull out and go for our rival company.  “What the hell is wrong with you all?” I asked again, this time my voice rang in every edge of the room and I hit my hands on the table angrily while I got on my feet “You had just one job to come up with something exceptional, yet you decide to present me this trash”
