Sophia Censatio"I don't know. Everyone wants me for him, even Kate pleaded to always be with her son. She believes I'm the right one for him.""That's the truth, Sophia. You're the right girl for him but unfortunately, that idiot doesn't have the eye to see that. Yes, I want you for him but at the same time, I want you to be happy. I don't want you sad.""Tia is right, Sophia. You deserve to be happy too. We all want you for him because we believe you will be the best girl for him but, maybe this is not going to work. Don't you think so?." Janet said as she took a seat opposite me." I think, y'all are right. He doesn't deserve my love. He's heartless and I hate him for that." I started to cry. I tried to take another shot but a hand stopped me. I look up and it's Lexy."Come on, Sophia. Don't do this to yourself. You're drunk already. We didn't come here to do this, we all wanted to have fun... Remember? That's why we're here."" Yes, Mom." I said to her and laugh. " I promise to al

Sophia Censatio"That's none of your business! This is my life and you have no right to interfere in it." I hissed and rolled my eyes. "Fuck! Why are you so stubborn?!""Just go away. You chase me away earlier, you don't want anything to do with me. You don't like me. I'm nothing to you. Why don't you just go and meet your Cynthia and have a nice time with her? Why are you here? Just leave, Aaron." I said as I tried to push him to walk away from him but it was not working."Stop trying, you can't get rid of me that easily." He smirks down at me whilst I glare hard at him instead. He studied my face for a while before bursting into a peal of laughter.This is the first time in my weeks of working with him, I would see him smiling. I stared at his face dreamily. I wanted to touch that sexy lip, rub my hand on it and feel it but... Why can't I? I'm hurt! I'm truly hurt. I can't believe for the first in my entire life, I'm in love with someone and that person doesn't love me back.Befor

Cynthia Gilbert" You're right. I'm not your biological mother. I'm your stepmother and, your biological mother is alive. I'm like this now all thanks to your mother." She spat at me. She just told me everything that has transpired in the past between herself, my mom, and my father. I was never her daughter. Her greed for wealth made her push my father to marry my mom believed, it was a contract marriage. But rather, they both fell in love with each other afterward and, she got upset because of that.And, I have a kid sister. I can't believe I have a kid sister." Wh....what?!!" I stuttered."M... my mom... My mom is still alive?! I thought you said she's dead?" I questioned her, stunned. I can't believe that my mom is still alive while I'm here going through all this. I can't believe she now controlled my life because she believes I'm indebted to her. She has raised me as her child and I have to listen to her and do whatever she asked me to."I'm asking you a question Ivy, where's

Cynthia Gilbert" Less I forget, not only did you have a kid sister but also, you have two other siblings. The kids your wretched mother gave birth to another man. And guess what? Only I know their whereabouts. Their safety depends on how you took your assignment. Take care of the situation as I have wanted and, you'll be happy." She said as she caressed my cheek and walk away. I stared at her retreating back and slumped lazily on the floor with tears flowing down my cheeks.How could my life turn out this way? I can't believe Ivy is hell-bent on destroying my life for good. Thinking about the past, knowing I wasn't like this before she turned me into a monster like her still hurt so much. Flashback"Good morning, Bianca." I greeted her cheerfully."Don't even try doing that with me this morning, Cynthia. You were late yesterday? You came home late. You got me worried!" She scolds me."I'm sorry, it wasn't my fault. I just wanted to finish my work before coming back home. I have no

Sophia CensatioI woke up the next following day with a terrible headache and at the same time, the ringing tone of my phone. I ignore the call of whoever it might be and hissed as I got up from my bed. I held my head with my two hands and groaned again in pain.What happened to me? Why am I having this much headache?- I thought and groaned again but then, the realization hit me. I got drunk last night but, enough for me to remember everything. I could remember I was making out with this guy and then, Aaron showed up. Punched the guy in his face and even tried to kidnap me.Brute! I can't believe he had the gut to do that after turning me down, I can't believe he came all the way there to cause a ruckus.I tried standing up but my phone started to ring again. I ignored it, got up, and sauntered towards the bathroom to do my business. I decide to take a long shower. When I was done, I walk out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped around my body and lazily slump on the bed. Took my

Aaron SamuelSix Hours LaterI'm through her phone right now and I couldn't find anything interesting. She only has the picture of her sister and brother. Then, her mom and nothing else. She also has a different app for books. I guess, she has a lot of interest in books.I don't know what I was thinking but, I just had to go through her messages. There, I saw a lot of messages for her which, she didn't reply to. Not even mine. How can she be getting on my nerves all the time? I can't believe, she didn't read any of my messages.I went through all of her messages and read them one after the other. Every message is from different guys.'Hey! Want to go on a date with me?''I can't believe, I met a beautiful lady like you. Can we hang out for some hours?''I'm close to your house, can you come out for a sec?'What?! Close to her house?! Shit!!!I arrive at the hospital and went straight to meet the receptionist."Hello, handsome." She started in a flirting tone."Look... maybe, we can ha

Sophia Censatio "Surgery, right? Then what are you waiting for? Do it! Do whatever you can to save my mother, please..." I beseech him in a desperate tone."Of course, we're going to try our best but before that, we need your cooperation. You need to sign some papers and-"" I'm ready. I'm ready to sign anything. Whatever you want me to do, I'm going to do that just save my mother, please." I cut him off before he could finish his word."I understand you, Ms. Censatio but please, allow me to finish what I'm about to say." He said politely."Sorry. I'm just... I'm just worried." I apologized." It's fine. I can understand. So, as I was saying... You need to sign some papers and not only that, but you also need to deposit some certain amount before we can transfer your mother to the surgery center."" D...De... Deposit? Okay, how much... How much are we depositing?."" A sum of five hundred thousand dollars for now.""Wh... What?!! Five hundred thousand dollars?! Where do I get that hu

Sophia Censatio"Sophia! What did you just do? You made him upset and now, he's left!" Janet complained in a worried tone." So? What if he left? he wasn't going to do anything for us, right." I replied with my shoulder shrugged." He was going to help, Sophia! He promised to pay for mom's treatment! He made a promise to me and... You chased him away, just like that!" She glared at me as she said that." Young lady, stop glaring at me like that, I'm still your elder sister. I hope, you haven't forgotten that." My voice was stern as I said that to her.I'm tired of her acting like a spoilt brat all the time. Especially, when it involves Aaron. She acts differently."But Sophia, you-""I said to keep your mouth shut!" I cut her off again."I swear if anything happens to mom... I'm never going to forgive you. Right now, we've got a chance to save mom, but you just have to ruin it because of what God knows. I don't know what's wrong and why are you denying Aaron's help. Just know this, So

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
