“My name is Sophia Barlowe, you ruined my life and I swore to make yours worse” I yelled with tears gathering up in my eyes.I might have ruined my mother’s plans of taking over the Caddel’s company but that didn’t make the pains I went through over the years disappear, the abuse and torture I went through while she was still married to my father yet I didn’t want her to leave but she did leave, the suffering afterwards was unbearable especially after my father fell ill, all those pains was right there in my heart and I had to live with it.“Sophia..” my mother repeated looking shocked, her jaw dropped, she took a proper glance at me from the crown of my head down to the sole of my feet.“Surprised?” I asked raising both brows.Riley and everyone in the office looked so confused.“What is going on here? Your name is Octavia Harris, who the hell is Sophia Barlowe?” Riley cried out.“Your mother should have a better answer to that question” I fired at Riley who turned to our mother.“I
I woke up to a strange smell , the room was stinking of everything horrible and couldn’t I comprehend it, maybe because my head hurts a lot, I couldn’t reach my head, I couldn’t move an inch, my vision was blur, I blinked over and over again until I was able to see clearly.Finally both of my eyes were wide open, I was startled at what I saw, my hands and feet were bound with ropes, I forced my body backwards, I was scared to death, I took a quick glance around the place and it looked horrible, it was actually a farm, I could tell from the look of animal feces I saw laying around.Then I heard the door being unlocked, I had my gaze fixed on it wondering who it was that had me kidnapped and they walked in, it was actually my mother and half sister, I scoffed shaking my head, I should have known better.“It looks so good to see you finally awake, you have been out for hours, we all thought you were dead” she laughed.While she spoke I had my gaze fixed on her face, her dressing was qui
The police didn’t wait another second, Riley took me in her car while we followed them behind to their home to have Winifred arrested, she had a whole lot of crime to pay for already, she have done way too much.How could she have destroyed my life out of her own greed? Why didn’t she at least let my mother return to home after she left? I sighed coming to a conclusion that this woman who I have always believed was my mother was heartless.The police broke into the house when she wouldn’t open the door, they dragged her out of the house with handcuffs in her hands while she kept crying begging to me left alone, I stood beside Riley’s car, I couldn’t understand why she was doing that but trust me it sucks.I walked up to her, my eyes were clouded with tears “you would pay dearly for all you have done.”She shook her head vehemently “no…no, I didn’t do anything, I am innocent” she kept saying.It all sounded pretty disgusting, how could she even continue to lie now?“I hate you mum! I sh
I got slapped by my boss’s girlfriend the day I came for an interview, she called me a harlot and thought I was having an affair with her boyfriend who was the CEO so I decided to seduce him right in her very presence just to spite her.That morning I had gotten up earlier than usual, I didn’t want to be late, I had my shower, dressed up really nice and packed my hair into a pretty pony tail while hurrying out of the house wearing an orange colored heel and a nice hand bag to match, I really needed this job.Meanwhile, in other to be able to have the revenge I seek, first I needed to learn and understand the games billionaires play, so I decided to start by becoming part of the Caddel group of companies.I was sitting right there waiting for my turn to be interviewed, there were about six of us who wanted the same job, who wouldn’t want to work in a company like this? I was getting both impatient and nervous, but I knew what I wanted, I needed to be patient no matter what, then she wal
I was burning with rage and wanted to retaliate but something in me whispered that I should keep my cool, this was totally unlike me, growing up without the love or attention of both parents thought me to always stand up and fight for myself. I glared intensely at young lady who was dressed in a skimpy blue skirt, a white blouse while her dark hair hanged down her shoulder, she dressed really expensive but that wasn’t enough for her to hit me the way she did.Finn kept calling her Rita, honey, baby, a whole lot of sweet names for just one woman and I almost got jealous. She kept yelling and I couldn’t stand it anymore. Her name was Rita Wilbur, Finn’s spoilt brat of a girl friend. With the stories I have heard about her, I still couldn’t understand why Finn still had to put up with her.I rolled my eyes in discomfort, my cheeks were puce, I could equally feel a burning sensation on it.I noticed Finn trying to make me calm down by giving me signals, I looked away folding my arms acro
Grace burst into a loud roar of laughter with her right hand placed comfortably on her chest, this all sounded funny to her, she couldn’t believe her ears “what did you just say Willow?”“You heard me…” she quickly opened her handbag and got her smartphone out, quickly she dialed Riley’s number and asked her to come straight to the boardroom, she turned to Grace “you know very well that this company is at the verge of bankruptcy and would collapse totally if people like me withdraw their shares, I expect you to welcome this idea.”Grace was stunned, she hit her hand on the desk and stood up “how dare you try to threaten me? Have you forgotten I am one of the reasons why you became a billionaire in the first place? I introduced you to Riley’s father.”Willow shrugged “what about that? You did what you had to do, your son would marry my daughter, I want them to get engaged on his birthday which is obviously few days away.”Grace's eyes widened, she looked super shocked, she couldn’t bel
The limousine parked in front of a fancy restaurant while the cab I was in stopped few meters away from them, I didn’t want my mother or Riley to notice me. I watched closely with a million thoughts running through my head. I watched my mother and Riley alight from the car and got into the restaurant.Quickly I opened my orange purse and handed the cab driver some money “thank you for the ride” I alighted from the taxi and watched him speed off, I took a deep breath wondering what I was going to do, I couldn’t afford not to go into that restaurant and see things for myself, my curiosity won’t let me, besides… if I must defeat my enemy, getting into her camp isn’t enough but knowing every move and step she makes might help me defeat her easily.I let down my hair as a disguise and borrowed a magazine from an old man sitting by the roadside and handed him a couple of dollar bills in exchange, he grinned and thanked me, I was in much of a hurry to respond.I got into the restaurant, my e
“I want you to do something very important for me, you would go to the club down town later in the evening, someone very important is waiting for you over there” she informed reaching for his hand, she held it and squeezed it softly.Finn looked surprised, why would his mother ask him to go to a club when she have been the one yelling in the past about his constant visits to clubs and how he would always come home stinking of both alcohol and cigarette “you hate it when I attend night parties or clubs, why are you asking me to meet someone there tonight? Can’t we meet somewhere else?”She shook her head wagging her finger across his face “no, you can’t, this person insists, it’s important that you go please, just this once.”“Fine, I would go..” he said reluctantly walking away.Grace stood there, she shook her head sadly folding her hands across her chest, I could feel her pain but then I noticed she was scared too, who was it that she wanted Finn to meet at the club down town? coul

You see, after I got employed into the company and Finn got his heartbroken, Grace asked me for a favour, she knew Willow had a plan and needed someone to help her unravel it, she called me the green snake under green grass, she wanted me to remain that way until it was over.Grace told me she wanted me to play along with everyone including her son and asked me to keep a close eye on my mother and half sister unknown to her that I was actually in her company on a mission to destroy them.It wasn’t difficult doing those things she wanted me to do, I kept reporting everything I saw or heard to he, after I fell in love with Finn got my feelings crushed by him, I still played my game well, it wasn’t just about my revenge now, it’s equally about the promise my made to Grace.My mother Willow Duke had deadly evidence against the three men who sold their shares to her, she had pictures of them selling illegal drugs and engaging in other illegal businesses plus documents to back them up, she
Grace smiled when they both walked into the office “I have been willing to show you both this, what do you think about this decoration? Wouldn’t it be perfect for the wedding?” She tried handing them a magazine.My mother and Riley took one glance at each other and burst into a loud roar of laughter making Grace look so stupid, she gasped wondering what that was all about.“What is going on here? What’s amusing you both?” She asked looking so ignorant when my mother dropped the file on her table and pushed it towards her.“And what is this?” Grace asked looking very confused.“What does it look like? Your beloved son just signed your company to me and my daughter” she informed laughing loudly.Grace shook her head in disapproval refusing to believe that any of that was true, she opened the file and went through it, she stood up on her feet with tears gently clouding her eyes “this can’t be true, this is fake.”My mother took one glance at Riley and turned back to Grace “maybe you shoul
It was the weekend, I was having a drink in my apartment when a notification popped up on my phone, I just received my salary with some extra change in it and with it I left for the computer village, bought some mini spy cameras and few other things.Later that night, I was able to sneak into the company, yes I was supposed to get caught because the company had a very tight security but I had some help which made it easier for me. I had someone with me who I paid to help me install the spy cameras everywhere I wanted it especially those places that had no CCTV cameras.It was a long night but we were done before dawn, now I could monitor everything that happens within the company through my smartphone, amazing isn’t it?I resumed work on Monday and I ignored my boss completely, I guess it still amazes him how I switched from a heartbroken girl into a professional personal assistant which he actually wanted, well the same way he switched from a caring boss into a rude one.I saw Riley w
It was Finn’s birthday, I dressed my best and so did everyone else who was in attendance which includes my colleagues.As his personal assistant I kept following him around making sure that everything was in order just to make it an exceptional occasion just as he wanted.He looked so bright, very happy, his friends and business associates were all there, I equally saw Kurtis Jericho, he was equally a business associate with Caddel’s group of companies.Everything was going so well until Finn began his long speech, I grinned from cheek to cheek knowing it was finally time for him to put the ring on the finger, yes, he finally did put the ring but it wasn’t on my finger, it was on Riley’s finger, my half sister.I was thrilled, I couldn’t believe my eyes, I couldn’t believe that Finn would actually fall for my mother’s threat and choose Riley over me, does this mean that everything we shared meant absolutely nothing to him? I hurried out of the party and sat at the garden with tears le
I woke up in his arms the next morning, I took one glance at his face and smiled cuddling him tighter, last night was mind blowing, I didn’t want it to end but it did end after we fell asleep, I took once glance at his handsome face and took a deep sigh, what does this mean? Does he have a crush on me too? This is amazing.I suddenly grew sad for a when I remembered that he was the CEO of Caddel group of companies, a billionaire, my boss and I am just some poor girl who wants revenge by all means on her mother, some girl who only got employed in the company not because I merited it but because I was… well I really don’t know why I got employed there but I was glad I did but instead of doing that which I had gotten the job for in the first place, I am busy falling helplessly in love with my boss.Few minutes later he equally woke up, I pretended to be fast asleep, he took a shower and kissed me before he left. My eyes flew open, as I sat up on my bed and thought about the night over an
It was absolutely terrifying, robbers were invading businesses nearby and stealing from them, it wouldn’t take long for them to get into the restaurant and rob everyone there too that is if the police doesn’t get there on time, I guess someone must have called them or maybe they might be too scared to dial on their phones.I saw customers at the restaurant crawling under their tables shivering with fear when Finn dragged me into safety, I doubted if we were really safe.My eyes were clouded with tears, my hands shaking while I had them clenching each other, I prayed deep in my heart that nothing happens to us, I wasn’t ready to die, I was so scared of guns.Finn had locked us in one of the stalls in the restroom and in no time my anxiety kicked in, I was so scared of tiny spaces. Maybe I didn’t tell you but apart from the horrible things my mother did to me as a child, she equally abused me, I didn’t realize what she was doing to me then was wrong even though she would warn me never t
