Sophia Censatio"I'm going to continue to torment you! Writing those shit about me has cost me a lot. Not only that, my friends had to pay for what they have no idea of and you think, I'm going to let you be like that? Do you have any idea what you caused Chris, father?" He burst at me in an angry tone. I'm confused, what is he talking about?" What are you talking about?" I asked him the same question running through my mind.I know those things I wrote about him weeks back would cost him but, never did have the intention to hurt the people close to him. I have no idea what he's talking about and, how did his friend's Dad get into this. How can I possibly have hurt him when I don't know him? And, if he was this. mad that I hurt him and his friends, why then did he refuse to lash out his anger at me but now? "Get out!" He said in a cold tone. "You have to make me understand what you're talking about. I can't just leave without understanding your full words" "Listen to me carefu

Sophia CensatioThe hard glare I received from her made me shut my mouth. "Just go in and pick up your bag. We're leaving." She said." But I-"" Now, Sophia" She added. I rushed into my office, pick up my bag and walk out to meet her. •"Can you be truthful to me? For how long has this been going on? I mean, for how long has he been treated in such a manner? He has been threatening you, right?" She questioned me. We just got to the cafeteria opposite Aaron's office. "Th... Threatened?! No, he would never thin-" she cut me off before I could finish lying. "Stop lying to me, Sophia. I don't appreciate those who lie." She warned me.I don't know what has come over me all of a sudden. Why am I trying to protect him in presence of his mom? Despite all he has done to me. Why am I like this all of a sudden? Or, was it because I was convinced earlier that I felt something for him? Is that the reason why I'm like this? "Sophia, you need to talk to me, for how has this been going on and

Aaron Samuel"Hey bro! What's up with you?." Nathan barged into my office and made himself comfortable on my sofa. I rolled my eyes at him and hissed. Acting like he owned my company. "What the hell happened here?." He asked again as he saw every scattered. The moment mom left with Sophia, I was so upset and without realizing what I was doing, in anger, I threw away all the things on my desk. Am I acting crazy? I have no idea. All that I know is, my mind isn't working straight. And my mom, why she keeps on backing her up like she's her daughter still amazes me. She even slapped me countless times all because of her! "Aaron, what's going on with you? Why is everywhere like this? Did anything happen and you didn't inform us?" He questioned again.A deep sigh left my lip. " Mom..." I trailed off but he suddenly jumped up from his seat with his eyes widened in horror. "What happened to mom? Is she okay? Why aren't you saying a word?! What the fuck happened to mom?!" He bombard me w

Sophia Censatio" Don't you have work to do? You told me you have a photoshoot by 3 pm today... This is past 3, aren't you going to leave?. ""Ella canceled the shoot, till next week. So, I'm taking a week off. That reminds me, professor Song will be coming to New York next month for the art exhibition... Be ready to meet him. I put in good words for you and he can't wait to meet you. ""You can't be serious! The exhibition is next month. So soon? How time flies.""Of course." He said laughing.I can't believe this. After what happened between Sophia and me, I lost lots of contracts that were about to be signed... Though the money might be huge, it still doesn't matter because I have billions of it but, being opportune to have a business deal with Mr. Song will be a big advantage for me."Stop looking at me with those eyes, you're making me feel uncomfortable."" What?!" " I don't want to fall in love with you.""You're crazy, Nathan!" I hissed before bursting into a peal of heavy l

Aaron Samuel"Fuck! Don't you dare show your face at my place tonight? You have your house, stay there." I hiss as I said that.He burst out laughing and shook his head. "Get my room ready and see you soon" he blows me a kiss and walks out of my office. Sophia CensatioKate is so different from her son, she is nice and sweet. We just finished shopping and my knees are hurting badly. It took us hours to finish shopping for the dresses. She also got me lots of designer dresses. Despite, I turned them down from her, I do not want to take it but, she forced me and I've got no other choice but to accept them. They're so beautiful and much too, I have never thought I would get to buy or wear dresses like this. "Happy birthday, Sophia." She suddenly turned to me as she wish me a happy birthday with a warm smile plastered on her face. With a confused look, I stood there staring at her like a statue. How does she get to know about my birthday?"Tia told me today is your day. I ought to r

Sophia CensatioI walked into my house with tons of bags of gifts in my hands. "I'm home!" I exclaimed in an excited tone as I open the door but to my surprise, the room is dark and quiet."Now, where did these two go to?." I thought." Janet! Nicholas! I'm home!" I announced. I dropped the bags in my hand on the floor and switched on the light. Then, I heard voices wishing him a happy birthday."HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"Oh my goodness! I can't believe this! Ho...how is this possible? They all prepared a surprise birthday for me. my friends and my siblings..."Oh my goodness! Y'all are here?." I can't help but ask them. It's been a while since I get to see something like this. They all came forward to hug me one after the other. "Happy birthday, girl." Tiana said."Thank you, girl.""Happy birthday, little sister." Janet hug me and pat my back a little bit." I'm not your little sister, you old woman." I hit her arm lightly and we both laugh. " By the way, thank you.""Happy birthday, Sop

Aaron SamuelI walked into our regular club and slumped lazily beside Chris on the couch. "Look who we have here!" He mock and I hissed before asking him in a confused tone. "Are you drunk?""It's still early to be a drunk, Aaron. Chloe would definitely kill me or probably made me sleep outside the house today!" He hissed and I chuckled. They're all madly in love with their wives and I swear, I hate it so much. "Don't y'all have home to go to? Why are y'all here sitting and looking stressed. Does this mean, y'all are having issues with your wives?" I know it can't be possible but, I just feel like pulling their legs but the look on their faces made me burst into a peal of laughter and raise my hand in surrender. "Okay fine, I'm sorry." I chuckled again."You haven't heard yet." Leonard said.With a confused look on my face, I asked. "Heard about what?." "The waitress girl, I over heard Janet talking with the girls on the phone. I think, today is her birthday and they're planning

Sophia CensatioA deep sigh left my lip as I walked into the hospital and look around for a second. I really hate visiting hospitals but with my mother's condition, I have no other choice. I hate the smell especially. It's been a week I last visited her and I'm missing her already. I had tried my best to make either Nicholas or Janet come with me but all to avail. Janet had a maths competition to partake in school while Nicholas is still not yet ready to listen to me. He refuses to come with me despite trying my best to make him see things in good way. I walked into her room and took a seat right beside her bed. I hold her cold hands and caressed it softly. "Mom, how are you feeling? yesterday was my birthday. Both Nic, Janet and my friends made it memorable for me. I never expect all that they did for me. I was so happy and felt loved. I came to tell you this because I'm sure you're going to be happy about it.""They all got me different gifts, It felt like a dream. I'm sure, you

Sophia Censatio8 Months laterIt's been three months already. Everything is now in places. If there's anything I'm so sure of right now is, my family is complete once again. Eight months ago, Aaron did his best in making it up to him and I must say that, he really tried his best. I almost had a misunderstanding with him because of that so called girl Alissa. He begged me and told me it was all a mistake. Everything happened when he lost his memory and he regretted his actions. I forgave him though and my parents, both my mom, I did forgive them also. Weeks later, I have no idea of what Cynthia was thinking, she came to me and apologized to my husband and I. Not only that, I also reconciled with my sister, Bianca and brother, Joseph too. Did I also tell you that Jonathan came to ask for a forgiveness? Well, he did. And now, he is going out with Cynthia again, hopefully, the two will get married at the same time with Nathan and Tiana. Well, that's what I've been hoping for. Six mon

Sophia CensatioThe doctor, who I assumed was a friend of Aaron's, checked my arm for a few minutes before looking up at him and telling Aaron that everything would be fine. She prescribed me medications and told me to take them constantly without missing them. She leaves the room and Aaron follows. I swear, I saw the look she gave my husband. A loving and seductive look. My whole body suddenly heated up with jealousy. I get up from Aaron's bed and follow them in silence without them noticing. I saw her cross her hand over her chest and give Aaron a seductive look. I knew it! I knew something was wrong when she bit her lip before leaving the room prematurely. "What are you doing Alissa?" Aaron asked her as she suddenly approached him and put her hand on his chest. I was very calm not to be noticed, even though I'm seething with rage right now. “Stop your stupid trick, idiot, tell her to stop touching you like that and you're my man. make her understand, idiot" I wanted to come out

Sophia Censatio"Hmm," I mumbled. " What the hell ! How dare she?" he shouted angrily."He saved me from her, thanks to Jonathan who was there when she attacked me."“Damn it! I can't believe she's here to show her face and do this to you.” Saying that, he hissed.“Can we forget that for a moment? My right arm hurts Aaron." i cried for him.Before I knew what he was doing, he grabbed me, picked me up in a bridal style. "Aaron!!! What are you doing?" I asked him."Aaron, where are you taking me?" I asked again as he left my room. "That's up to me to know and up to you to find out." he says as he kisses my cheek."Okay, I don't know where you're taking me, but can you at least drop me off? I don't want people to see us like this," I said."Why? You are my wife. As much as I can proudly show you to the world, I don't care what other people think." He kissed my cheek again as he said that.Well, this person is no longer acting normal. I'm still surprised he wasn't totally upset after see

Sophia Censatio"Sofia! Are you okay?" he asked again concerned. I look at him and sneered at him, I can't believe you had the courage to show me his face after everything he did to me. "Jonathan, what do you think you're doing here?"" how did you get into my room? who told you I was here?" I ask him questions.“Sofia, can you at least let me explain? You didn't let me explain and you're so upset at me for what-""Wait a minute, did you say upset?" I'm running out of patience now. “If I was upset at you, I would have told Aaron to put you in jail a long time ago. Listen, I have nothing to tell you. Get out of my room for now. I don't want to talk to you and I don't have to listen to you. Stay away and never come back. ""But Sofia, you...""I said you need to leave." I raised my hand to stop him from saying another word. My hands, shaking again. Now I can actually feel the pain behind my arm. I can't believe I hurt this arm badly earlier. "You're still the same, so stubborn," he sa

Sophia Censatio"Oh! How did I forget you're not close and I can totally understand what that means. Your mean mother, Ivy, has made my life unbearable ever since my father died. Not only did she made my life miserable, but she made me her tool. A tool to extract money from the rich.""What are you talking about ?!!""Why?! Why are you so surprised? Didn't you see how she almost made me take everything from Aaron? I was about to reach my goal when I found out that Aaron had signed all of his properties in your name. And now you think... I will allow you and that miserable mother to ever be happy? It has to be ruined, just like she ruined mine."“You know, I still feel weird about the whole thing because I can't believe we had the same father. And my biological mother has always been good to you and Ivy couldn't do that to me. My mother took care of you and Ivy makes my life miserable every day. Well, it looks like someone is in danger." Her face suddenly smells of danger.“Cynthia, do

Sophia CensatioWeek laterA week has passed since the incident. I heard from Aaron that Susan had left the country. She's in Greece now. But I wonder what she was doing there and how he knew where she was. She left without telling anyone... Kate, on the other hand, was very worried about her and her parents. But Aaron wanted nothing more than to catch her and make her pay for what she did to me.Even if she pays for what she did to me, it won't change anything for now. And Kate, she took such good care of her I think. I mean, I was told that. She sees her as the daughter she lost a year ago.Come back to me.Where do you think I live now? I am staying at one of the Aaron hotels. He wanted to take me home but I still can't. We had several conversations about staying in a hotel at the moment, which was very hard to convince. He told me he would only allow me to stay at his hotel.And I'm glad he understood that I want to be alone for now. I take the time to think clearly. And mom, I pi

Sophia Censatio"Don't touch me! I deserve to know the whole truth...and now that I know it, the woman I loved so much, the woman I would give my life for, the woman I would sacrifice my happiness for, ain't nothing like a liar. She ain't nothing but a cheat! She's a kidnapper!" I got mad and spat on her. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I'm so mean to her all of a sudden, but I have to tell her everything I'm thinking right now. It's too much for me to bear. I may seem strong, but I'm in deep pain with myself right now. "Sophia!!! How dare you call me a kidnapper?!" She demanded angrily and she stopped midway to hit me. My eyes widened in horror, but she stopped as she slowly withdrew her hand."Come on, hit me! Do it! Come on, hit me! After all, I'm not your biological daughter. I'm not yours, so hit me! Come on, hit me. Hit me all you want!" I took her hand and kept hitting my face with it.She tried to pull her hand away from mine, but mine was gripped so tightly. I wasn'

Sophia Censatio"Hello Alvira." I heard a voice, I mean, we all heard his voice behind us, me and my friends. Needless to say whose voice it was, of course it was Ivy.I wonder what this woman is doing here right now. She is the last person I want to see right now."Hi girls." She greets my friends. I can't take my eyes off her for a second. She was now a person who behaves like a good person. I can't believe she's the same Ivy I used to know. The ivy I knew was cruel, disrespectful, and ruthless, with no regard for the feelings of others. The ivy I see now is different from the ivy I knew before. The Ivy who doesn't care and act random but I know why the act all of a sudden. Well, nothing will change my mind just because of her sudden change in attitude."Hi, Ivy," Janet greeted her with a small smile on her face."Hello." Beth said."Hello Ivy. Good morning." Lexy greeted her."Hello." Chloe said.She walked over to where I lay on the bed and walked past my friends with a small sm

Aaron Samuel"Where is she now?" I asked Nathan."Okay, I haven't heard from her since the accident, she's been missing since yesterday.""So now, you're saying no one knows where she is?""I called David and I think his call will come in now." Nathan said. Time passed and my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and kept it. "Yes David?""Boss, we found her whereabouts. She's in Greece."" Greece? ! What the hell is she doing there without paying for her sin?" I wasn't talking to anyone in particular, more likely to myself."Good. Please send me all information on her whereabouts immediately.""Okay boss, Roger that." he said. "Boss…" he reminded me before I hung up. "What is it, David?""I have something important to share with you."“Look David, whatever you want to tell me can wait…I'm sure it doesn't matter as much my wife's. if it's not about my wife, set everything aside for now.""Exactly, boss. But that goes for you too, it has to do with your wife.""What happened to my wi
