SOPHIA COX"It's time."I heard my father say to me and I took a deep breath and exhaled deeply before raising my head to look at him.I could see the forceful smile on his face. He was struggling to be happy but I knew it was all a lie because my father was bad at keeping a happy face when he wasn't happy.I got up from where I was seated and lifted my wedding gown a little so I wouldn't step on it."You look beautiful," my father said to me and I saw the sincere smile on his lips when he said that word and I believed it.I linked my arms with my father and began to walk with him. I felt the knots in my belly tightened and it was because I knew I was close, I was close to getting married to the man who had not failed to show me disrespect the moment he saw me.The man who had not failed to look down on me and called my family and me a gold digger.The truth was, we were indeed getting married so that he would save my father's company and there was no lie to his words. I wasn't after
SOPHIA CASTILLOMy heart began to race faster than normal when I heard the shower stop and I knew Adrian was done taking his bath.When we arrived at the mansion, he asked me to follow him and I obliged without a word.He told me to get rid of my dress and to be honest, I was worried when he said so because I thought he was going to have sex with me but none of it had happened.He told me he didn't want to see me in that dress anymore as it only annoyed him and reminded him that he had just gotten married to a gold digger which in other words was me.He walked out of the room and I took off my dress. I didn't know what else to wear as my clothes had not been brought in yet and our marriage was of circumstances.I wanted to ask him for something to wear but I was nervous. I didn't want him saying any more hurtful words to me and so I got rid of the dress and was just in my panties.I entered the bathroom and took my shower. I wrapped myself with a towel, not wanting to think of Adrian's
SOPHIA CASTILLOI wanted to tell him that I didn't want the dress of a female I do not know.I was never a fan of sharing clothes and I never shared clothes with my sister even though we had the same body stature.I didn't want to wear the pajamas of another woman and because I couldn't tell him, I began to cry."The fuck is wrong with you?" I heard Adrian say harshly and I flinched from his tone."You are unbelievable. Do you think I'd be moved by these crocodile tears? Why are you crying and what did I do to you?" He shook his head in disbelief and I sniffled a little."I knew you were a hypocrite but I never expected it to be this bad. I gave you something to wear and you are crying? What? What do you want from me?" He asked.I bit my bottom lips and quickly wiped my tears. "I..." I wanted to speak but I struggled to form words in my head."You what? You think that because we are not married, we will be a real couple?" He clicked his tongue. Adrian leaned closer to me and I gulped
SOPHIA CASTILLOI groaned silently as I woke up. I felt pain in my left arm and I knew it was because I slept on it. I set my foot on the tiled floor and yawned."I see you are awake."I froze when I heard Adrian's voice. I looked towards the direction his voice came from to see him all dressed up with his hands in his pants pocket."Good morning...sir," I greeted him, avoiding eye contact with him."Good morning? What is good about the morning? The fact that I have to wake up and see your face every day or the fact that we share the same room? Which is it, Sophia?" He asked.He was speaking calmly as always yet it made me nervous. "Do you know what says the time?" He questioned and I looked around to room to find a wall clock or an alarm clock.He began to walk toward me and my chest heaved. "I will tell you the time," he raised his hand to look at his wristwatch."It's fifteen minutes to ten," he said and I gasped.I couldn't believe I slept that long but I guessed it was because
SOPHIA CASTILLOI suddenly lost my appetite to eat. It wasn't that they said anything bad about me but I hated to look pitiful.I smiled weakly at them before turning on my heels to leave."Ma'am," I heard the voice of the maid that brought me to the kitchen and I halted on my track. I tilted my head to look at her. "Yes," I answered."Aren't you here to get something? I mean if you changed your mind, I could bring something for you to eat in your room," she said to me.I smiled at her gratefully. "Thanks but I'm fine. I will let you know when I am hungry," I told her and continued on my track."What's your name?" I asked the maid, halting on my track once again.She smiled at me. "Sarah," she said and I nodded my head.Hearing her name reminded me of my older sister. I walked away quietly into the room. I haven't been able to do anything since morning because of Adrian.I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and took my bath before coming out to wear the same clothes Adrian gave
SOPHIA CASTILLOIf one didn't know Adrian, it was easy to fall in love with his eyes.He has the most beautiful blue eyes. They were very attractive and blue being my favorite color has never looked this attractive.But when you get to know him and you stare into his eyes, all you want is to never look at them ever again.I remember the first time I saw his eyes, I fell in love with them but after the way he treated me, blue became the ugliest color to me.His eyes mortify me all the time I look at them because all I can see in them for me is nothing but disgust."Get up," he demanded as he stood back on his feet with both hands in his pants pocket.I furrowed my brows in confusion. "I won't be repeating myself, Sophia," he said firmly and I quickly got up on my feet."Good," he said before leaning towards me."I won't tolerate your attitude anymore. I do not want a repeat of this morning Sophia. You are not to raise your voice at me, never. Am I clear?" He said firmly and I nodded m
SOPHIA CASTILLOI miss home. I miss my parents.I miss my sister.I miss everyone that has made my twenty years a life full of joy and happiness.I was tired of living. I was tired of being in here but I had no choice.I was tired of everything at this point in my life and all I wanted was to go back home to my parents and wrap my arms around them.I sobbed quietly in the toilet as I knew Adrian might come into the room soon and I wasn't ready to face him. I wasn't ready to hear any more of his words.I sat down in the toilet for only the heavens know how long before I decided to go back to the room."Ah!" I screamed the moment I stepped into the room and my eyes stumbled upon Adrian's dick.I closed my eyes with my palm and turned back so as not to see them again. My heart was racing faster than normal as the image of his dick kept reappearing in my head.It wasn't for a short second that I saw it but it was enough to make me forget the way to breathe.I felt a presence behind me bu
SOPHIA CASTILLOAdrian came out after a while but this time he was fully dressed. He took his keys and left the room.I cried all through the night and eventually fell asleep amidst it all.When I woke up the next day, I woke up to the ray of the sun reflecting on my face.I had not realized that I didn't close the window and I slept on the floor for the night until I woke up.I groaned as I got up from where I slept. I looked at the bed to see that it was untouched. I didn't bother to think of Adrian as I didn't want to remember last night and how I shamelessly let myself fall in his webs."Come in," I said after hearing a knock on the door."Good morning ma'am," Sarah greeted and I smiled at her in return before walking into the bathroom to wash off. By the time I came out, Sarah was almost done cleaning the room.I stared at the alarm clock on the nightstand to see that it was fifteen minutes past eight. I placed my hand on my stomach to see that my stomach was rumbling.I had not
SOPHIA CASTILLOit has been over three since I was saved from the hands of Jessica. Adrian got discharged from the hospital two days ago and Jessica killed herself because she refused to be arrested and taken away.I thought I was going to lose Adrian. Thankfully the bullet missed his heart but it did break me when I thought he stopped breathing for a moment.Everything was going normal for us. I have been helping Adrian with his needs and also taking care of myself too because I was pregnant and I was battered all thanks to Jessica."Hey," I said to Adrian when I noticed that he was awake. I walked towards the bed to help him sit up as it seems that was what he wanted to do."You do not have to worry," he told me."No. Not at all. I have to. Here you go." I said as I helped him sit down."How are you feeling?" He asked me, resting his back on the headboard. "I'm doing good. Did you sleep well?" I asked, sitting down by his side on the bed. "I slept well." He smiled."Goodness, eve
JESSICA FRANCISCO It hurts. It hurts so much that I felt my cheek and stomach burn in pain and my head bang. It was all because of her and I am going to end her today. He wants her. No matter what I do he wants her. All he talks about is her. All he thinks about is her. She is all that he ever speaks of as if none else but her mattersNot only had he constantly reminded me that he married her, but he also won't stop to say that he loves her and no matter what she will be the one in his heart.He almost fought with someone because of her and he got drunk because of her. He has been out of character lately and it's all because of her. I will kill her, send her body to him and when he sees her dead body, maybe he'd come back to his senses and move on and by moving on, I mean with me.I will kill her today. There is no need to spare her life anymore. She needs to die because that's the okay way I can have Adrian. I reached the construction site where I had kept her. I came out of my c
ADRIAN CASTILLOI have sent thinking of how how to go about the thoughts I have in my mind. I have been restless.The same question kept ringing in my head. "Why does Jessica have so many of my pictures and is she truly aware of Sophia's whereabouts?"I wanted to speak to something about this but I do not trust anyone after all Sophia's life is at stake here. I needed to be logical with anything that I wanted to do for her safety.I decided to call Jessica and ask where she was. After two rings, she answered the call."Hey," I said as soon as the call went through."Hi." She replied. I suddenly do not know what to say anymore but I couldn't be speechless for long and so I let the words that were in my mouth roll out my tongue without thinking about it."Are you at home?" I asked."Yes. I am. Is there a problem?" She asked."No. Not at all. It's just I haven't seen you today. Did you go somewhere or you have been at home all day?" I asked, suddenly knowing what to say."Yes. I have be
SOPHIA CASTILLOJessica walked closer to me with a smile on her face and I knew there was something behind it but what I guessed is that she have something stupid to tell me or she wants me to spit on her face because I do not mind doing the latter."How have you been? Have you been enjoying the company of Carlos?" She asked.I glared at her. "Tell this stupid pig to stop molesting me and touching me inappropriately, at least you are paying him so he should use his senses!" I spat "Why would I? I paid him to kidnap you and everything he wants to do to you then he can. Why did you think that your complaining to me would make me do anything?" She clicked her tongue."I did not come here for that. I came here for another reason," she replied."At least have some shame and also I am pregnant and a married woman. Try to consider that it could be you too," I retorted.He placed her hand on the arms of the chair that I was tied to. "At least they let you pee, don't they? Do not let me give
ADRIAN CASTILLOIf someone told me that I would find myself in this situation three weeks ago, I would have denied. And if someone had told me that my wife would be kidnapped on her birthday then I would have protected her and made sure that she was safe and sound and by all time by her side.Three weeks since I last saw Sophia. Three weeks since last spoke to one another. Three weeks since k last saw her beautiful face. Three weeks since I wrapped my arm around her and three weeks of pain and anger.Whenever I thought we were almost close and I was going to get her, it doesn't happen. It hurts me so much that no matter how hard I try I just cannot sit down and not cry.It was the same story from every source. Was she dead? Why was she kidnapped? Everything was unclear and no matter how hard i thought about it, nothing at all. "Hey."I darted my eyes to see who it was. It was Jessica. She has been coming to check on me everyday and I was grateful for that. My grandfather has also bee
The lady who had ordered the kidnap of Sophia comes into the place where Sophia was with her face hidden.Sophia was yet to know the identity of the woman but she looked very familiar to her. She asked her the first time the woman revealed her identity to her why she took her but instead the woman asked them to tape her mouth and cover her eyes."What do you want from me? It's almost two weeks. Why don't you..." Sophia trailed when she felt her stomach ache.They've barely been feeding her and not only that, Carlos has been trying to molest her too. He hits her if she spits on him for touching her boobs and once he threatened to kick her belly until she loses weight baby."I want you out of the way." The lady replied."Your voice sounds familiar, why don't you just reveal your face so that I know you, and have I ever offended you before?" Sophia asked."You have offended me in so many ways, Sophia. A lot more ways than you have realized and I do not have any intention to return you,"
ADRIAN CASTILLOI arrived with detective decker at the station shortly. "Where are they?" Detective decker asked his men. "Over there sir," they replied and we went to meet them. "This is Sancho and this is Parker. They work with Carlos and were the two guys who were with him the night your wife went missing," An officer informed us."Where is Carlos?" Detective decker asked."Why don't you just kill us instead because if we tell you that we do not know where he is, you won't believe us." The man named Sancho said."Why did you say that so soon? It's not as if we plan to kill too when we know that's granting your wish. Why don't you do something for me, I mean it's going to be a win-win for us. Tell us where Mrs. Castillo is and you leave you freely and you won't be taken to jail?" Detective Decker told him."How can I tell you something that I do not know?" Sancho replied rhetorically.I was furious. He was seen assisting Carlos In taking my wife and it's making me angry hearing h
"Ma'am when will you reveal yourself to Sophia?" Carlos asked the woman who had hired him to kidnap her.He was yet to see her face properly as each time she approached them, it was in a dim room and she always has glasses on and a hat too."I would love to reveal myself but when I eventually do, it is to kill her. I do not plan to return her back to her husband. I want her out of the way for me to have him," she replied."Why not kill her already? Why keep her if you have no intention to contact her husband to tell him you have her?" Carlos boss asked.She let out a small laugh. "To punish her and also punish him a little.""Can you explain better?" Carlos boss Anderson asked."I am not supposed to tell you what I plan to do as I am the one paying you and not the other way round but I will tell you," she replied and folded her legs."She stole my man. Adrian is mine and not her but she stole him and so I will kill her and have him because right from time he has always been mine," the
SOPHIA CASTILLOI opened my eyes to see myself on a dark room with barely any light in it. My body aches and when I made an attempt to move, I realize that I couldn't as I was tied to a chair.Where was I? How did I come here?I thought to myself before I recalled how the power went out at the hall I was celebrating my birthday and how someone had grabbed me from behind.I groaned lightly. "Hello!" I called out."Hello!" I called out."Anybody here?" I said out loud.The door open and a massive ray of light entered the room but soon it was dark again when the man closed the door. "You better keep it down or I'm gonna hit you," he warned, coming closer to me."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked.I have not offended anyone so I do not understand why I was kidnapped. What was their intention or perhaps, did they get the wrong person? I thought to myself."I am the one that brought you here on someone's order. You will see that peers on soon," he replied. "Are you sure i
