Sophia's POV
I went back home very angry. Not only had Tony added a table in my office, but he also added a bed. He even changed the name of the hospital. I was very angry with him for doing what he did.
But what could I do? He owned 50% shares in the hospital and hence he had the right to do some modification, although that wasn't what I wanted.
I knew that one day I was surely going to have my revenge on him. I was positive sure about it.
I came out of the car and walked inside the house.
"Sophia!" I heard my dad call, stopping me from taking another step.
I turned to see him and his face was down.
I suddenly had sympathy on him.
Whatever he did, he did it for a reason justifiable enough.
"Dad!" I called back as he drew nearer.
"Princess can we talk. Please I'm__"
"Don't say it dad. I might be a freak and a devil when it comes to lashing out but I am still your daughter." I took him by the hand and made him sit on the sofa.
"Princess. I_" He was whimpering but I shushed him.
"Dad please." I tried convincing him not to talk but he was adamant to listen.
"No princess. I hurt you so much. You are my pride and after your mom, whom I loved so much, you follow suit." He said and I shut my eyes.
He just mentioned the one part I never wanted to remember, the one reason why I became this Sophia.
My mom!
She was my all in all. A woman who loved I and dad so much. She devoted herself to taking care of us.
But what happened?? She died.
She died a miserable wife and mother.
Her death was a painful one.
My dad was the only person whom I was living for.
"Dad please. I forgive you. I have to apologize to you too, daddy. I have been a spoilt brat to you. I lashed out on you rudely. Please don't be feeling guilty. Whatever you did, you did it for a good reason. I know that for sure." I explained in whimpers.
Mr Devale POV
I felt very bad at that moment, more of like I was the worst father on earth. Without thinking twice, I decided to accept a whooping offer by Senator Hartz. I made a very big mistake by agreeing to their marriage proposal. I never knew that Sophia was not going to take it lightly upon hearing about her engagement.
"If you are better now I will be off to my room." Sophia announced and left the sitting room.
I was left to my thoughts and I.
I made a mistake that can not be corrected.
Tony's POV
I walked into the bar and met them sitting at our usual behind the curtain.
I put on my sunshades to avoid girls drooling over my looks.
But who am I deceiving, they still fall for me.
Only one lady never fell for me and that's Sophia, daughter of Mr Devale_ My future "bride". She's so rude and bossy, though I am rude and bossy but I'm no way near her. Her level is more than mine since she is a woman in the first place.
I walked to my friends and greeted them each with our usual handshakes.
"Hey bro." Sammie called and I gave him a smile.
It was already late in the evening and as usual we always meet at the bar on Wednesdays.
Sammie's girl was seated on him, but momentarily stealing glances at me.
"Hey man. You've been quiet ever since you came. Are you alright?" Zayn asked and I shook my head.
"Don't worry, Tony is perfectly fine. He's just had a hectic day at work." Sammie answered and I nodded in agreement.
Although I was comfortable with my friends, I was uncomfortable because of the manner in which their girlfriends kept stealing glances at me. Not just that, they were licking their lips seductively as though they were sending messages to me-they actually were. I just sighed and kept minding my business because it was no new thing to me that every lady will drool over me. Not to brag but my dad gave birth to the most handsome boy in the whole planet.
"Uhm! Guys, I have a certain problem." I snapped them out of their make-out sessions and also to prevent their girlfriends from mentioning my name when they are playing dirty. Zayn groaned angrily.
"It better be a very bad problem oh." He said and I just rolled away my eyes.
"Well it's about Sophia. You both know about my en__"
"Sirs, will you like anything?" A female bartender interrupted me and I growled angrily.
"Yes. Will you get your stupid self away and get us a male bartender?" I calmly requested from her.
She rolled her eyes and went away.
"You were harsh." Zayn pointed out.
"Well," I decided to act like I didn't hear him.
"Like I was saying, you both know about my sudden engagement to Sophia."
"Your girlfriend's step sister." Sammie noted.
"Yes. That girl is a pain in the flesh. She is so rude and bossy. I really want to tame her." I told them.
Sammie and Zayn looked at each other before shaking their headsheads.
"If you want to make her less bossy, why don't you apply the principle?" Sammie asked. I looked at him confused.
The principle?? I thought wondering what my friends meant by the Principle... It then dawned on me as I remembered vividly the principle. I let out a cunning smile preparing myself to apply it on her.
My friends and I brought up the principle and I intended on using it on Sophia.

They ended the story since everyone concluded that Tony made her to fall in love. But did he actually do so?The story continues....********************************** Tony's POVThe principle is a simple one. Just by hearing the word itself, you would have a glimpse on what it is.Reasons why these past two days I have taken a sudden interest in Sophia?Well all my past life, in all my 27 years that I lived, I have never met one as daring and bold as her. She is beautiful with a unique eye colour, yes. But that wasn't what made me take a special liking in her.Remembering vividly, I met her the day she was returning from India. Her dad had hosted a mega party at their domicile.Even from her ego that she carried on that particular day, one could have guessed right that she was boss
Cindy's POVI looked at Tony in disbelief. I came here because I wanted the both of us to get intimate as since we started dating, we had never done so. I had long been craving for today but seems he had other plans."I am really sorry Cindy. I just can't do it. You won't understand." Tony said.I didn't come here dressed like this to be insulted. I knew exactly what to do.Luckily for me, I brought some enhancers. I felt he might bail out on me so I needed to act smart."It's ok sweetheart. I understand you. I first of all am scared of it. But that doesn't matter. I need some fruit juice please." I pleaded with him."Check the mini fridge that way.""Will you drink too?" I asked him and he nodded.I took two glasses and emptied the sex pill content in one glass. I poured th
Tony's POVI woke up with a terrible headache and onn trying to adjust my sleeping position, I saw a figure lying in bed next to me. I flinched!Taking a proper look at the figure, since my vision was blurry, but now ok, I noticed it was a lady's body. But she seemed to be naked.I checked under the duvet and she was indeed as I had presumed and not just that, even I was naked.I tried recalling what happened here last night.Cindy came to my room dressed...Gosh!! I exclaimed as I sat up, feeling disgusted.Cindy actually drugged me to satisfy her selfish desires.I decided not to bother her so I left her to her sleep. But one thing is for sure, I can't be with her anymore. I went back to my room and locked my door. I need to take precautions.But I still
Sophia's POVI slept sound like a new born baby and woke up stretching my whole body while yawning."I thought you won't wake up again." I heard a voice say. That voice... Just three days that I have been hearing the voice, I can recognize it anytime and any day. I turned sharply, to him and he was there smiling. I just glared at him and said nothing. I got down from the bed and walked my way out when his hand held my wrist, so tight."Let go of me." I said in struggles."I thought you won't talk to me. And tell me, is that how to answer your husband to be?" He asked and I scoffed loudly."Let me be." I said while struggling to free myself but as usual, his grip on me was stronger. So we both fell on the bed together.Our eyes locked into each other's spelling shock, surprised or amazement. I don't know how long we both stayed in tha
AUTHOR's NARRATIONSophia rushed in quickly without any hesitation, without looking back, without any care. For as long as the information about the deceased Jennifer Howells still weighed her mind, then there was no way for her to mind anything happening around her.She bumped into a nurse who quickly held her by the arm."Let go of me." She scolded."I need to see things for myself." She said."I need to see her body." She added in a tone full of hurt. By this time around, tears had started settling at the bottom of her eyelids."How did it happen?" She asked the nurse who shrugged.The nurse tried to explain, but Sophia ran passed her into the private ward where Jennifer was admitted.She wore a confused expression on her face as soon as she entered the ward."What the..." She wasn't allowed th
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"I did it because I felt guilty." Sophia said."You know that feeling you get when you know you are responsible for what happened." She added."You mean guilt." Tony said and she nodded.She walked to her desk and dropped the document in her hand. She turned back to him and saw him smiling at her. Looking intensely at him, she started blushing. She quickly turned her face to make sure he didn't notice.*_Tony_*It's just three days that we met and I feel so attracted. But someone once said just a is enough to change things. I think I can say same about my newly developed feelings for her. Three days is enough develop feelings for her.She looks perfect in her green tank top as it matches the colours of her eyes. She noticed how my eyes didn't trail off her even for a single minute. I was even smiling for no reason
*Tony*I stood there staring at her with mouth opened. She looked so stunning in that dress, I barely recognized her as boss queen. She had loosened her hair and coiled it. I watched her draw closer as she descended the stairs. I studied her every single step she made. Thanks to the short length of the gown, I was able to look and admire her perfect and flawless straight legs."Hi!" She greeted as soon as she reached where I stood, the exit door of their house. I suddenly lost my tongue because I knew not what to say."You look breathtakingly gorgeous." I complimented the very first thing that came in mind."Well you don't look bad either." She replied and I nodded.We stood there staring at each other in the eyes and I don't know if her eyes communicated what mine did because she broke off the connection."Well let's get going." I tol
? SOPHIA?Ā RECAP: ...Reality struck me. It was indeed my Tony trying to survive.Ā ...Ā I hurriedly stood from my seat, with one quick step I moved to his seat opposite me, and caught him before he fell down.Ā At that moment I was panicking so I had no idea of any first aid aside from calling for help. Since we both were in the VIP section, and the only ones there, there was no way someone could have witnessed what was going on, aside the waiter who didn't seem to notice. I turned and saw him leaving so I called him back.Ā "Hey!" I called and he hurried to where I was without me asking for his help since he had seen the condition in which Tony was.Ā "Please help me." I cried out to him as soon as he came towards us. Tony was still in blood convulsions.Ā "Miss please be calm we have to take him to the hospital. He needs medical a_"Ā "Will you shut the hell up and h
āØMILLICENTāØI've been standing here for long now and I don't know if I can stand any longer again.I am sure this is the address my informants had given me."Ehem!" I heard a voice clear the throat. It startled me a little and I turned to see him. It was really him, though looking all shaggy.He was putting in dirty pair of jeans that were black in colour and his cream white shirt had blood red stains on it. Honestly, the stains look so much more like blood stains.Even his hands were dirty red, covered in blood and his face had traces of blood. His dark hair was in a ruffle and he messed it the more with his hands that ran through the hair.Once his eyes met mine, they widened and his mouth was slightly parted in a gasp. He looked really surprised seeing me standing in front of his door.For a second, he looked like he was g
šCYNTHIAš"Don't be surprised to see me Sister... If you are, then what more of my guests that are on their way." I told Cindy with my sly smile as I walked over to where she was standing, passed her and went to sit on one of the men she hired to kill Sophia.I smiled because i know they've seen my lead already and will be here any minute from now...Tiberius Paschal is very smart, he leaves a lead for the police to come get him for a reason .... Only he knows.... ššā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤"Who did you invite? And what are you doing here? What do you mean by you are the boss? Why is one of my hired assassins on bended back? And why are you seated on him?" Cindy asked ceaselessly and I just smiled...Well well well....."Cindy you ask too many questions.""Well my questions are not many kiddo. I am older than you.""For a m
āØSOPHIAāØI heard sounds around. It didn't seem to me like my room or somewhere familiar because I could feel myself seated on the ground. They were cold and my back was leaning against something, like a Pilar.Where I was, I had no idea of. So I opened my eyes to see where I was but it hurt.."Ah!" I groaned out loud. It hurt like hell. I needed to rub my eyes but my hands were stuck... They were tied. What really happened?"She's awake." I heard a female voice say. The voice was very familiar, one I could never forget because it was a voice I heard almost everyday and I hated the sound of that voice. But still, I didn't want to believe it, I wanted to give it the benefit of doubt.I struggled and opened my eyes slowly. My view was a little blur at first but it soon got clearer. I turned and saw Tony sleeping. I looked around me to see nothing familiar to me."Hey sister." I hea
š„š„GENERAL POVš„š„ Short summary....Sophia returns from India, only to be betrothed on her very day of return by her dad. She furiously objects to it but can't say further because she respects her dad. Yet it is unknown to her why she was betrothed. She isn't happy, neither is her step mother, Milicent who had always wanted one of her children to end up with a man as Tony Hartz. Her reason is justified as Cindy confirms she is Tony's rightful partner as they are in a relationship. Poor Cindy has no idea that Tony only dated her because she was hot and he thought they could be an issue. Also unknown to her, Tony dislikes girls that give in to him so easily because many girls whom he come across, be it decent or not always want a one night stand with him since he's super cute. So she tries seducing her man into intercourse with her and sh
"What do you want me to do?" I asked him and he smiled. (END)To cut the story short, he needs Jennifer and I need Sophia.I walked towards Jennifer's ward and saw two guards standing there and keeping watch.She must have told the police already about Thomas, so I need to be very careful...I was thinking about what to do when I saw them leaving, going far away from the door.I don't know what happened but it's for my advantage. I went inside the ward and saw no one.Just when I thought she left, the bathroom door opened, revealing her."Oh, you must be the doctor replacing Sophia. Thank goodness you are here, I've been feeling a lot of discomforts in here and I want to leave... You know that..."She started ranting her mo
āØSOPHIA āØ"Sophia, marry me please." He said on bended knee. This was the most humiliating thing, I swear.He didn't take me to the VIP section so, many paused on whatever they were doing and stared at us.At that very moment, whatever both I and Tony were doing was being watched by many. It even felt more like we were acting a movie.I was shy, I kept avoiding people's gazes into mine. Tony was still kneeling. I wished at that moment that it could be possible for us to communicate through the mind - telepathy. I would have pleaded with him to do this somewhere more discreet.But looking at him in those deep dark eyes of his that spoke of sincerity, love and pleas. The very eyes that I ignored the very first day we met. The very eyes I studied on my welcome party.... Those eyes, we're the eyes I looked into with so much love.I r
āØCYNTHIAāØWith both my hands on the table, I studied everyone's movement from my computer. I noticed something off with Cindy and decided to check it, only to find out that she was plotting on how to kill Sophia.. (Chuckles)Cindy knows not how we operate here in the underground, reasons why she thinks like a child, despite being older than me for a minute.I may look fragile, weird, harmless and angelic but even God knows that I am not one of his angels, not even the look-alike of an angel. Well you can call me angel if you want to but I'm not.I'm the devil that eats and dines with you, waiting for the day when I will strike. I am not just a serpent. I'm the venomous python, a serpent that can swallow you whole yet I am very poisonous. My venom is toxic and once I give you a little bite, ...Life didn't show me it's p
?SOPHIA?After breaking up with Henry earlier on today, I felt bad like I had committed the gravest of sins. Maybe I did a bad thing by breaking up with him today, or maybe not.I retired home only to meet Tony's dad and my dad. They told me of the change in program and apologised for any inconvenience."Two weeks!" I yelled completely shocked."It was supposed to be in two months. Why the sudden shift?" I asked calmly. Normally, I would have raised my tone on them but I couldn't do so."Like we said. We are sorry for the inconveniences." Tony's dad apologised."Well it is ok." I told them. "I am not against the wedding anymore."Dad looked perplexed and I understood clearly because I'm not the type to conform to decisions so easily but I just did.I am a dif
āØSOPHIA āØI sat in the park waiting for Henry to show up. It's never written in a man's dictionary to be late but Henry had this special gene of coming unusually late for anything and he still has the habit.I constantly checked my time because I had better things doing than just to sit here and listen to the endless gossips and chatters I heard from the jobless ladies around.It was more than 30 minutes since I arrived here and he hasn't shown up. I shouldn't have come, it was bad thinking I could meet up with him. , what made me ever think that he was here in Atlanta?I stood up to leave when I spotted him coming towards me majestically.He will never change, will he?He has this manner of walking with his left hand in his left trouser’ pocket while his other hand is busy on the buttons of his tight check shirt.He has sha
