Sophie PovI stood up from the floor and ran to my room crying. I opened my door and locked it then sank on the floor crying loudly. That bastard, he doesn't care about anyone but himself. I am not saying he shouldn't cheat, he can but let him take them elsewhere, bringing them to this house means he has no regards or respect for me. It hurts seeing him taking different women everyday, even if he hates me at least he should respect me enough not to bring his whores to our matrimonial home, I still feel hurt about the boutique situation but it's like he doesn't give a damn, he doesn't care about my feelings or whatever happens. He is happy seeing me humiliated. I stood up cleaning my tears knowing once again I will sleep with an empty stomach. I massage my scalp that was aching me so badly. I wish Everett could just go back to ignoring me instead of putting me through all this pain. I went to the bathroom and took my bath then I wore my nightgown with a pair of panties. I also set m
Sophie PovI entered the building going through the door, heading to the receptionist. "Good morning," I greeted. She looked at me and smiled, she is very beautiful with her black hair and milky skin."Good morning, how may I help you?" She asked, politely."I came here for an interview, a 9 o'clock interview" I said. She went through her computer."What's your name?" She asked. I thought about whether dad put in Sophie Lee or Sophie Anderson."Sophie Lee" I said, choosing to go with that. If I get the job I want the whole world to know me as Sophie Lee not Anderson."Okay, 12th floor, hallway to your right," she said. I smiled at her."Thank you" I said. I left the receptionist and went to the elevator and entered it, pressing the 12th floor. The elevator door was about to completely close when a foot entered it. I looked at the foot which was cladded with a well polished black shoe, the elevator opened and I looked up at the man and I was blown away. He was wearing a black suit, he
Sophie PovI stood looking at them nervously."As I said before Miss Lee you have an amazing talent of sketching and also bringing up beautiful designs so we are offering you the job to be part of our designers. Opportunities will come when you have to showcase your talents, as we all know R.H fashion House just doesn't deal with fashion and accessories. We also bring young designers like you out, young designers who are working towards having their own fashion world and we help with that dream. So I will employ you to work hard, we employ new designers like every week and we can't help everyone we only help hardworking designers" she said, looking at me. I smiled happily."Okay ma'am" I replied."Now we will be having a fashion show next month, June 20th to be precise. These designs and accessories are very beautiful. It will be showcased on that day. Not to worry, all the credits will be given to you, the company will give you materials, models and anything you need, you can start w
Sophie PovI stare into the blue orbs of Mr Sanchez as once again we are meeting in the elevator in an awkward position."Miss Lee, we need to stop meeting like this," he said, looking at me. I speechlessly looked at him. Then he dropped me, I landed on my butt as I groaned painfully. He just climbed over me and left not caring, I grit my teeth glaring at him. What is the use of catching me if you are not going to help me but drop me instead? I looked up and a man was staring at me amused. He was wearing a gray suit, he has ruffled curly blonde hair and he has gray eyes. He is cute but not as cute as Mr. Hotty who just dropped me on my ass. He was staring at me, a little smirk was on his face. "What?" I asked, a little annoyed. I looked around for my phone and I saw it, I pick it up. Thankfully it's not broken."Nothing just that I have never seen a lady glare at Mr Sanchez like that" He said, outstretching his hand. I held his hand as he helped me up on my feet."Thank you," I said,
Sophie PovHe turned me over harshly, I gasped looking at him. He holds my waist harshly as his nails dig inside my skin."W..what are you doing?" I asked, trying to remove his hand from my waist. He held it tighter, digging his fingers more in my skin, what is wrong with him? Did I do something again?"Everett you are hurting me" I said, trying to remove his hand but he holds on tighter glaring at me."If you think because grandfather is back then you can be reporting my activities to him then you are wrong. I am going to continue doing everything I was doing and you are not allowed to say a word or even report me, your fathers company is in my hands even if grandfather is back I still control the Anderson's empire, I can't make him go bankrupt so be wise" he said, tightening his hand. I groan in pain, tears stinging my eyes. He tightened his hand more before letting go of me, he glared at me leaving the kitchen. I touched my waist which was burning in pain, I closed my eyes tightly.
Sophie PovAfter Everett left I went up to my room, I removed my clothes and had my bath then I put on a bum shot and paired it with a black plain top, I left my hair because my scalp is now more sensitive. I went back downstairs, I headed to the store and opened it, it was extremely dusty. I entered inside and looked for the table, I saw it by one corner so I dragged it out. I went back inside and brought out the chairs that were beside it, they were all extremely dusty. I sigh, cussing Everett in my mind. I went to the kitchen then I took a rag and cleaning soap, I also put on thick hand gloves. Then I got to work cleaning the table and chairs. After cleaning the dusty table and chairs I dragged them to the window side in the spaciois living room and set them there. I went back to the store and opened all the boxes looking for some fake flowers and maybe some scented candles, after searching for some time I saw the candles and fake flower but with no flower vase so I dropped the f
Sophie PovThe echo of the slap bounced off the walls as I held my cheek silently. "You stupid worthless piece of trash, I warned you not to ruined my date but no you just to ruin it with you stupid presence! Get the fuck up and clean this mess!" He yelled as I just looked at him. The lady stood up and stroked his chest lovingly."Don't waste your strength on her baby, you will need it later on" she said. Everett looked at her and smiled."I can't waste my strength on a nobody," he said. Then he kissed her, sticking his tongue down her throat, his hand wandering down her ass as he cups her ass harshly pressing her to him, she moaned as their kiss got more hotter. Everett pulled back and carried her up."Let's take this to my room" he said, carrying her upstairs. She chuckled looking at him, he spanked her as harshly as she moaned. Then she looked at me and gave me a nasty smirk as they both left my vision. Tears ran down my face as I looked at my hand that was full with blood. I crie
Sophie PovI got outside of the company, I walked down a little looking for the cafe. And I found it, so I went inside and bought the coffee. I honestly wondered what the difference was between the company coffee and this cafe coffee. After I bought the coffee I ran back to the company running in my heels, the line was very long and there were only two waitresses that were attending to people. I hope he doesn't get angry, I sighed, running as fast as I could hoping I don't fall off my heels. I get to the company, entering the elevator breathing heavily. Gosh I have never ran so fast in my life, during high school I didn't even participate in any sport, I am very bad at sports. The elevator dinged, I quickly ran out heading to his office. As I got there I knocked, still breathing heavily."Come in" he said, not even looking up. I entered the office dropping the coffee."T..this is y..your coffee s.sir" I said, trying to catch my breath. He didn't look at me, he took the coffee and dran
Ario POV“What!” Jane yelled in shock. We got back yesterday, and although I wish to tell everyone what happened on our journey, I was too tired because for a week and a few days I have not slept, and Odin didn’t sleep on our way back, so we immediately went to sleep. We have been sleeping since yesterday morning until this afternoon, and right now I still feel so sleepy.“Yes, Jane, we are truly doomed,” I said, rubbing my head. I have terrible migraines.“Oh no, this is terrible,” she said, roaming the conference room. I sighed, my head seriously banging. If I’m not careful, I will have a mental breakdown. This is too much for me to take in, and my lack of sleep didn’t help. We may be powerful gods, but we are also humans with flesh and a weak body system.“So what are we going to do?” she asked. I coughed out, sighing.“I guess we will look for Selene; Mabel said she is currently in Isak's broken down palace; that was the clue,” I said. And they all nod their heads.“Missed me,” a
Sophie Pov We quietly left the hotel, and we entered the car. He turned the car on. He drives quietly, just looking at the road. I look at him, feeling so guilty that I didn’t call him.“I’m sorry,” I apologize again, quietly. He looks at me and sighed, not replying me. The ride was awkward and intense as we both sat down, each in our own thoughts. After the long and intense ride, we finally got home. Dad and I came down from the car and head inside quietly. I look at the familiar living room that I grow up in. This house brings me bad memories, memories I don’t want to think of or remember. Dad and I sat down on the couch beside each other. He sighed.“What happened Sophie? Why were you ignoring my calls?” he asked.“Dad, what did Everett say to you?” I asked. He sighed.“He said he saw you with a man in a hotel and you suddenly disappeared,” he said. So Everett is implying that I am a whore, and I abandoned everyone to have fun with a man?“Do you believe him?” I asked him.“No, no
Sophie Pov"Ohh" I replied, and continued washing the plates. She quietly cleaned the plates lost in her thoughts."You don't want to talk to him?" She asked. I wonder if I should be pissed she is intruding or I should just answer her. I looked up at her and she looks like she genuinely cares."It's not like I don't want to reply to him, I just don't want to bother him with my life when he is going through his own issues" I said, washing the plates."What do you mean?" She asked."Well he just recently went through a lot with his former marriage and he is working towards bringing his company back to its feet while trying to search for my non-existent mother, I don’t think it’s fair to bother him with my life” I said. She went quiet.“You think your mother is non-existent?” she asked, softly.“Yes I think she is, dad has been searching for her and she refuses to show up unless she is dead. I believe she is seeing everything that is happening to him and their daughter on the news and s
Sophie PovLandon and I walk inside the big hotel heading to the penthouse hand in hand. It looks like our new thing is to walk hand in hand. We entered the elevator quite tired."It's been a long day," I said, running my hand through my hair."Yeah, I just feel like collapsing on a soft bed and sleeping till thy kingdom comes" he said, putting 1 percent of his weight on me. I smiled as the elevator dinged. We both walked to the door, he put in his thumb and the door opened."I didn't know that was there" I said as we entered. My eyes widened looking at the people in front of me."What are you guys doing here?" Landon asked, irritation lacing his voice."Don't you dare you talk to me like that boy" the woman snapped. Landon bit his lips breathing out."What are you doing here mom?" He asked again with a nicer tone. Wow he calls her mom, nice. She rolled her eyes."I came to check up on Sophie," she said, looking at me. I looked at her shocked, me? She came to check on me?"Me?" I aske
Sophie PovLandon and I walked down the street staring at what people sell through the window. The car was packed somewhere as we can't do window shopping in a car."Look at that" I said, pointing to a cloth from the window."That will look great on you" I said, looking serious. He scoffed."No thanks," he said. I burst out laughing. It was a small boutique, there were some mannequins in the front with clothes on them. One particular mannequin was putting on a really baggy trouser with an equally baggy shirt not to talk of the bright color, it looks awful."That is just bad business" I said, dragging him away by linking our arms."How do you know it's a bad business?" He asked, as we both walked."Well we have seen so many boutiques right?" I asked."Yes, continue," he said. "And each of them has really nice clothes" I said."Okay?" He asked."So if I want to buy something of course I will go to a boutique with nicer looking clothes on their mannequins, that clothes are way too baggy
Sophie PovWe were in the car heading to the next mysterious location and I am so excited.“You have been incredibly hyper” Landon said, chuckling.“Of course, I have never had fun like now, I can’t help but be excited” I said, smiling.“Good that you are excited because we are here” he said. I look outside and I can’t tell where we are. I came down from the car with Landon coming down also.“Let’s go,” he said. I followed beside him looking around, the place has a wide road with flags pointing at the direction you should go probably. Then suddenly different karts passed by us in a rush making a voom sound. I smiled.“We are definitely riding that, '' I said, looking at Landon. He laughed.“I knew that would give it away,” he said.“This is so awesome” I said. He smiled. We talked further as I looked around, I can’t wait to get on one of those bad boys. We got to a place and some men were there, helping some other people wear their helmets and stuff.“Good afternoon sir” one of them
Sophie PovWe have been driving for some time now."Where are we going?" I asked. He looked at me and smiled."I was waiting for you to ask me since but you didn't. But not to worry, we are almost there" he said. I sank in my chair as he continued driving, drumming his hand on his laps."Do you like drumming?" I asked, looking at his finger. He stopped beating his finger."Not really just that I like keeping my fingers busy sometimes" he said. I nod my head, well that explains everything. After sometime we got to a secluded area filled with hills and mountains but there was a building there. I looked around surprised."What's this?" I asked, looking at him. "Let's find out," he said, coming down from the car. I removed the seat belt and came down. "Come on, let's go" he said, entering the building. I followed behind him as he passed through some places. We burst out of another place and it seemed there were some people waiting for us. "Good morning Mr Sanchez" one man greets bringi
Sophie Pov"Sophie" a voice called shaking me. I turned away from the voice as I never want to wake up, this is the best sleep I have had since ages. I just want to sleep. The voice chuckled. I felt the bed deepening."Sophie come on get up, you've been sleeping for hours' ' the voice said again pulling me up with my hand. I groggily opened my eyes and I came face to face with Mr Sanchez."Mr Sanchez?" I asked, confused. He frowned."I thought we agreed on calling each other our names," he said. I looked around me and it all cleared up, I am staying with him now. I remembered what happened yesterday when I wanted to kiss him, my cheeks hit up as I became embarrassed. Thank God he stopped me because I was not in my right senses yesterday."Good morning," I said. He smiled coming down from the bed. He carried a tray, the tray was filled with food. I looked at him as my heart melted, nobody has ever done this for me before."Breakfast in bed for the pretty lady," he said, placing the tra
Sophie PovAfter I finished crying I cleaned my tears sitting up properly. He unwrapped his arms from my body."Are you okay?" He asked. I looked up at him."Yes," I replied. He looked at me, his blue eyes boring holes into my equally blue eyes, he outstretched his hand. His warm palm landed on my cheeks as he learned my tears. "You shouldn't waste your tears on people that did not deserve it" he said, putting my hair behind my ears. He looked at me, removing his hand then he went back to his seat and continued with his food. I smiled looking down at my food, then I started eating it looking at Mr Sanchez."How did you know Everett?" I asked. His hands tightened once again on his spoon as he gritted his teeth angrily. I looked at him wondering what on earth happened between both of them that they hate each other so much. "Everett is someone I knew from the past," he said, not going further. I decided not to push it, even though I am super curious. We continued eating our food in sil
