“Sophia, you’re back so soon” my mom said with a smile.

She was to be discharged today by evening and she looked far much better.

“Yes, mom” I replied as I dropped my bag and keys on the table.

“These flowers are pretty “ I said as I sniffed them. They smelt wonderful.

Pink tulips were one of my favorites.

“I think so too” my mom concurred.

“Who got them for you?, the nurses?” I asked as I racked through my bags looking for my reading glasses.

“No, Brian” she said as I froze.

“What?”I questioned with a frown.

“Yes, he got them. Such a sweet boy “ she said.

She wasn’t aware of the break up, only Stan was.

“No, mom. He’s not “ I replied with a sigh.

“Oh. He’s not?” She asked in confusion.

“There he is!” She continued as she pointed at the door.

Brian stood with his once full and long blonde hair, now in a buzz cut.

He kept short beards and his body seemed more muscular.

“What are you doing here?” I asked dismissively.

“I came to see Grace, heard she was sick”

“Who told you that?”

    He’s unavailable for now” Natasha said as I rolled my eyes.That’s been her excuse for the past three days.Leo has been dismissive and aggressively focused on work.I spent more time in the office because that’s the only time I can spend with him.“Let me go in, please “ I pleaded with annoyance.“I don’t recommend-““We both know he needs someone to talk to” I interrupted.“It’s affecting his work, and you know he won’t ask for help” I added persistently.“His work is not affected ““You weren’t around when we had the board meeting on Thursday”“Okay and?” She asked with a cocked brow.“The merger meeting on Tuesday morning ““Go straight to the point”“It’s becoming noticeable, something is going on with Leo and you know it”“Mr. Shiva is unavailable for now” she stated again as she stood firmly in front of the entrance.I sighed heavily at her adamant behavior.“I’m just trying to help” I calmly said.“Like I said-“ she started“What’s happening here?” I turned to face the owner o

    "Hello father” Leo greeted as we approached his parents. They looked rich and classy with their surely expensive attires.“Maria” he added , as his step mother sipped from her champagne flute.“Leonard” Jared, Leo's father said. He looked tall and handsome in his maroon tuxedo which matched his light brown eyes. I presumed Leo got his hazel eyes from his mother as I noticed also, the blue eyes of Maria.“It’s good to see you again” Jared added.“Yes. It’s been a while” Leo replied.“Years, my dear." Maria added“Who is this?” She asked as her eyes scrutinized my figure. I felt self conscious.“I am Sophia Pronto, ma’am “ I said with a muster of courage.“You are welcome to the Shiva party” she said.“Yes, thank you” I said with a light smile.“So, what’s your relationship with my step son?” She asked me.“Maria" Jared said in attempt to mute the choice of topic.“I’m curious ““Well I’m his girl-“ I started to reply.“Assistant “ Leo interrupted.“Girl-assistant?” Jared asked with a q

    “Allicent!” Leo said in annoyance.“Don’t cause a scene, I’ll be back” he said to me.“Don’t bother” I said.“What?”“I’m going home”“Sophia ““Don’t fucking touch me!”I snapped angrily.“Sophia?” I heard the small voice of Tiffany say as I sighed heavily, before walking out.Don’t cry…Don’t cry…My hands trembled as I bit into my lips hard in an attempt to hold back the tears.“Ma’am?”“Edgar.”“I’ll take you home.” Edgar said to me in a calm tone.“You don’t have to”I muttered as I bent my head to hide my expression.“I know, but it’s late.”“Please, let me help” he added.“Okay”The drive home was quiet as we arrived at my home.“Thank you, Edgar”“You’re welcome “ he replied as I gathered my items and began towards my front porch.“Miss Pronto!”“He says sorry. Mr. Shiva.” He told me as I nodded and entered into my home.I heard the car zoom off as I sat slowly on the floor.I stared at the carpet for a while before the tears flowed freely.I couldn’t hold it anymore.My throat

    …5 years agoThe building looked similar to ours , the difference were the toys found on the lawn next to the front porch and the dog sleeping beside the front door. Father never let us adopt a pet, he always told us that they constituted as nuisance, I always wanted a cat , a small pet to love , on our 1st year anniversary, Brian, my boyfriend then ,got one for me, father wouldn’t just give in. He later had to return it .I walked anxiously towards the door, the dog lifted its head , barked and laid down back. I made a sigh of relief as I knocked .No answer. I knocked harder fortunately, a pretty girl opened. “ Hello, can I help you?” She questioned with a smile on her face while I stared at her features.My heart raced and my palms became sweaty when I noticed the birthmark at her shoulder blade . I had one , Stan had one. Father always boasted about the natural identification mark , God had somehow bestowed on his lineage.“Hey, are you alright?” I heard“Yh “ I whispered.“I

    “I’m outside, hurry up” I heard Sophie from my phone’s speaker.I hurriedly dressed my bed and shifted the pile of dresses I had made whilst looking for a good outfit for the party , to the left corner of the bed.I ran down the stairs ,tightly holding my tote bag that contained my make up and dresses.“ Where are you off to?” I heard as I slowly turned to meet the eyes of Stan.He had these piercing brown eyes, that always made me feel scrutinized.I let out a chuckle as I walked towards him,“I’m sleeping over at , Paris’, remember?”“ No, I don’t “ he said with a slight frown. Ever since he turned twenty , he had assumed this father role at home. I tend to forget I’m the older one sometimes“ Well, I’m letting you know now” I stated“ I’ll be back before noon tomorrow, it’s just a night, Stan” I added as he looked at my tote bag“ Say bye to mum , before leaving’ he stated before walking towards the kitchen I hurried into the living room, my mum laid on the couch , eyes closed fas

    My hands roamed his arms at different intervals. He felt so masculine. I had never been with someone with such a strong energy before.At the end of our dancing and grinding. I’m pretty sure I felt it move . Being with him sparked something in me and I loved the feeling.“ Come with me?” He askedI rose my head from his chest to look into his eyes“ let’s have a seat” he continued. I didn’t even realize that I had been standing for a whileI nodded in approval as he led me through the crowd till we reached a quieter part of the club.He looked at the bouncer standing up front , who made a signal and the door at our front opened.He directed me in as the door closed behind us.“ I thought we could use some privacy “ he stated as he poured me a drink.The place was actually secluded. I didn’t want to ask questions but I needed to know Paris was at least safe. I wasn’t even sure I was safe .“ You could talk to me you know?” I heard . He had relaxed on the counter at my side .“ I came h

    The black car stood out from amongst the rest. It screamed of luxury .I took glances at it from where I was working with the expectation of seeing who was inside.No one appeared till I was done with my shift.I waved goodbye to my boss. He was a nice aged man.He never really bothered me and he understood my situation.I left the shop and hurriedly proceeded to get on the next bus for the night.The headlights of the black car stopped me in my tracks .Few minutes later, a figure walked towards me.It was a lady in a suit.I was confused with anxiety.I didn’t recognize her cause I didn’t know who she was.“ It’s a nice evening isn’t it?” She asked me blandlyMy confusion increased“ Yeah?” I muttered as she tilted her head and scrutinized me with her blue eyes.“ Here” she said ,stretching out a cardI accepted the card“Shiva Global” I stated“You must have heard of it.” She saidIt was a popular business company but I really wasn’t the type to care .

    The same black car. Just a longer version parked in front of my home.It was already gaining attention. I was very irritated at this point, cause I had finally managed to forget that incident with the weird lady.Every fancy black car seemed suspicious to me ever since that day .“ Bye mom, bye Stan” I said as I rushed out for my 8am shiftI ignored the car and walked quickly on my way to the bus stop.The car drove quietly and slowly at my side.I pretended to not notice but it was irritating.With a huff and annoyance I waited for the bus while the car parked close to the bus stop.Stepping into the bus , I greeted the driver and paid quickly to grab a seat at the back but all were occupied so I sat closer to the door and put on my headset.The black car drove at the side of the bus, close enough for me to notice it.Whosoever the driver was , he or she was a creep. I thought to myself.I ignored the car once again and closed my eyes , focusing on the music.The honk of the car sta

    I felt the cold air hit my body as I stood slowly and headed towards the bathroom.Half asleep, I washed my face and took a moment to take in my appearance and surroundings.We were back at the house it seemed.I stood only in an oversized T-shirt. My undies no where to be found.Hopefully we didn’t do anything I would regret later or desire.Gosh, he looked so yummy last night.I brushed my teeth with the new toothbrush I found in the cabinet as I remembered that I was supposed to go home last night.I rushed to get my phone when I realized Leonard wasn’t in bed.I woke up alone.My heart dropped and I felt awkwardly sad.I enjoyed last night so much, and somehow I convinced myself to accept my feelings for Leo.I brushed my feelings aside and checked my call logs.11 missed calls from Stan.Panic rushed in, as my thoughts anxiously wondered what could have happened.I redialed his number, praying for all to be well.He didn’t pick.Without hesitation, I changed into casual wear.

    Nope”“What do you mean?” I asked in surprise“This is pretty” I added“I know but it’s not for you” he said to me. This was the 25th dress I had put on, we’ve made two choices but somehow, that’s not enough for him. Leo wanted one more dress.“Julie!” He called“Yes sir?”“Bring the next best thing” he demanded“This is the last collection for this line” she said to him as he nodded at the choices.“Check these five dresses out “ he said to me as I took them and went back into the dressing room“I’m tired “ I complained to him after the third trial.“Just two more, then we can head out”Jolie!, I I need help with the zip.” I shouted from the dressing room as I waited for her.The dress was cobalt blue, ,silky material that snatched at my figure but loosened at my feetI felt the zip slowly pull up, before looking at the mirror and realizing it was Leonard behind me.“Jolie left to attend some other client” he said to me as his fingers traced slowly the revealed skin at my lower back.

    “I need you here in the next forty five minutes Miss Pronto” Leo said on the phone call.“Saturday is not a working day, sir” I replied wearily as I yawned once more.“Not for you. You wanted to do your job as a professional. Be here as soon as possible ““Fine” I said as I hung up the call.My phone rang again and I answered.“What was that for?” He questioned.“You weren’t done talking?” I asked in confusion.“I was, but I end the calls Miss Pronto” he stated arrogantly.“You interrupted my sleep to say this?” I snapped angrily as I heard him scoff .“Look-“ I began as he cut the call.I hated how easily he riled me up. I rushed into the shower to freshen up.It wasn’t long before I was ready, I put on a simple baby pink gown and my black plumps. I cringed at how worn out the dhows looked but since I had no choice, I had grabbed my bag and went to the kitchen.“Mom, I’m heading out!” I shouted from the kitchen. There was no answer.I frowned at the silence. I knew Stan went for his

    “How could you?!” I exclaimed immediately I stepped into his office.“Woah, you got a feisty one. Leonard “ an attractive aged man with grey hair and an arm tattoo said. The grin on his face interfered with my thoughts. He was dressed casually in a plain black sweatshirt and jeans.“Miss Pronto, Mr. Anthony “ Leo introduced with a stoic expression on his face.“Why so formal, Leonard?" he said as he stood up and approached me. He had a limp to his walk but asides that he still looked good."Anthony Shiva, you?"he asked as I stopped staring at his leg. Shiva. That means he was family to Leo."I am Sophia Pronto. " I replied as he held my hand gently and laid a kiss on it."Pleasure to meet you milady." A charmer. It seemed it ran in the family."Thank you" I said quietly as I retrieved my hand from his"Stop it uncle, you're scaring her" Leo said with a sigh and a frown as he looked at his uncle with annoyance."I'm not scared and I can speak for myself" I quickly stated.

    The meeting was quite interesting, everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I quietly sat behind Leonard taking down the minutes of the meeting.I was later invited to join them for the actual lunch and I agreed happily. I was served at a separate table with the view of pedestrians walking by and doing their various activities .I enjoyed the view as I ate the medium rare steak and corn soup I ordered. It was delicious, the first time I had tasted such fine cuisine and I felt privileged wishing Stan and mom could taste this.“How is it?” Leo asked calmly as he sat on the empty seat at the table.“Best thing I’ve tasted this year. Thank you” I said gratefully with a light smile.He returned my smile and his hazel eyes looked so alluring as the sunlight beamed across his face.My heart skipped as I remembered the way those eyes looked down on me as his fingers moved inside me.My face felt hot and I quickly looked away and focused on the businessmen across from us.“The meeting went to you
