SARAH CASTILLOAdrian, my father, and I had driven over to where Sarah was when the police confirmed that someone like her indeed resided there but they could not see her as people from around the neighborhood confirmed that she stays around but they believe she is under abuse but they cannot be so sure.When Adrian, my father, and I arrived, the police informed us that they'd been able to speak to some man, the man who stays at the address Sarah had sent to them and he says he would give them a girl to sleep with if they paid me.My chest clenched when I heard it. Did he turn my sister into a prostitute? I cannot wait to see who that man is and hit him in the face."Did he perhaps show a picture so that you are sure she is the one you are going to see?" I asked, leaning into Adrian. I just pray she is there so that we can save her and that bastard who had done so much harm to her will pay with his life."No but he assured her that she is a pretty woman and we won't regret paying to
SOPHIA CASTILLO"How are you feeling?" I asked Sarah as she came to sit beside me on the bed. I had just helped her take her bath and applied some ointment on her before giving her clean clothes to wear.She cried for over an hour while apologizing to us. I wanted to ask a lot. I have a lot to ask but now wasn't the right time to apologize to her."I'm feeling fine," she replied.My mother was yet to come. My father had informed her the minute we brought her over to my place and we gave her food to eat but she refused to eat as she said she couldn't eat.Adrian said he'd call doctors to come to check on her so that we would know if there was anything wrong with her."Do you want to lie down?" I asked her.I didn't know what exactly to say to do right now. I want her to be fine and happy. I do not want her to think."Thanks so much for coming," she said for the umpteenth time."You have to stop saying that already. You are here and that's all that matters," I told her."Sarah!" It was
SOPHIA CASTILLOI clenched my fist as I listened to Sarah tell us what happened between her and Mark and how things began to change for them.I wasn't there but I could imagine how it must have been for how and how she must have felt. To have left my family behind for a man, only for him to turn his back on me? That hurts like hell."He didn't raise his hands on me at first but later he changed. His eyes... They were no longer as they used to be anymore. They no longer looked at me with love and affection. It was cold and all he had in them for me was hate," she explained and I felt my heart clench."He called me all sorts of names." she sniffled a little."Told me that I deserve what it was that I was getting." Her voice was becoming lower each time she spoke. It must hurt too much for her to voice out how it happened and how she got to where she was. "He began to hit me. Call me names and made sure I didn't sleep. It was hard. I had to sleep on the cold tile and most times woke up
SOPHIA CASTILLO“There goes the man who wants to marry you," Annabella jokes, staring at the man at the counter. I rolled my eyes at her statement. She was referring to James, a coursemate of mine who has shown interest in me since we were both paired for a project."What?" She chuckled."He said you are the type of woman he would love to marry but he doesn't know that you are married," she remarked."It's not funny though. I would appreciate it if you do not say this in front of Adrian. He takes things like this very seriously," I told her."Why don't you just tell him that you are married so that he can back off? I mean you could save yourself any stress. A lot of guys want you but they don't know you are married and you are a wife to a billionaire," Annabella said and I heaved a sigh."That's the thing. I cannot tell them. I want to graduate as every other student and I do not want people having to stay away from me because they know me besides some men will know that I am married
SOPHIA CASTILLOThe minute I opened my eyes, a wave of nausea hits me and I run to the bathroom. I have been feeling dizzy lately and also had the urge to vomit but today I finally did.Maybe I would be relieved. "Are you okay?" Annabella asked."Yes. I am fine," I replied before flushing the toilet. I brushed my teeth, and rinse my mouth before leaving the bathroom."I think I feel a little better compared to the previous days," I told Anna."That's great. Anyways why haven't you felt good the previous days?" She asked and I shrugged."Maybe I ate something bad. Who knows but after vomiting, I feel a little good," I replied."Are you sure? Have you been feeling dizzy too?" She asked and I nodded my head."How did you know?" I asked."Are you sure you are not pregnant, I mean those are other symptoms," she retorted and I chuckled. "Oh come on. Because someone feels dizzy and felt a wave of nausea, it doesn't mean they are pregnant. I mean I am on birth control and I do not remembe
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?" Adrian asked, walking to meet me halfway.I had just come out of the toilet after feeling a wave of nausea hit me."I was told you are not feeling fine? Are you alright? Do you want to see the doctor?" He asked with his arms around my waist and he stared at my face, looking for signs.I shook my head. "I'm fine. I think I ate something bad and I've been feeling disturbed since last night," I replied."Are you sure?" He asked me, wanting to confirm that I am doing fine and I nodded my head."Yes dear," I replied."Why don't you both stay for dinner?" My mother said from behind Adrian. Adrian came to stand beside me with his arms around my waist. He stared at me as if wanting me to give a reply her to and I quirked the corner of my lips."Sure," I replied."That's great," my mother said."We will be in my room," I told my mom before pulling Adrian with me up the stairs because I needed him to massage my boobs. I know it's crazy bu
SOPHIA CASTILLO"Your birthday is next week Sophia, do you have any plans for it?" Sarah asked.We are still in the dining when she asked me that question, a few minutes after she had reminded me that she thought I was pregnant but didn't say the word out."That's true. I do not want a big gathering. Just a little gathering with friends and family," I replied."That's true. I just remembered," Adrian said. "What?" I asked."I will be traveling for a business trip next and I am not sure if I will be spending a week or less than that," he explained."So you might not be present for my birthday?" I asked."Not actually. There is no certain date yet. It's an impromptu trip and I have to leave tomorrow morning. I wanted to tell you but it skipped my mind until now and the number of days I'd use is u known," he replied."You will be gone for a week or more, is that what you are trying to say?" I asked.I wasn't happy hearing that we might not be able to celebrate my birthday together. I ju
SOPHIA CASTILLOI'm pregnant.I'm pregnant.That word kept ringing in my head like a song and I just cannot get used to it. I decided to get a pregnancy test two days after Adrian left and this is the result.I do not know how to feel now. I wasn't really happy and I was nervous. Nervous because I wasn't ready to be a mother.I knew this news would bring great joy to Adrian and that's why I am happy. I have made plans to go see a doctor and get a pregnancy test done just for more confirmation. On my birthday, I will reveal this news to him.I couldn't bring myself to tell anyone yet because I believe Adrian should hear this news from me first. I heaved a sigh for the umpteenth time while on my bed in my dorm."Do not tell me that you haven't left that bed since I left?" Annabella said the moment she entered the room."I did leave. To go pea and I came back," i replied."Is something bothering you?" She asked me, scrutinizing me.I sighed. "Not at all. I just miss my husband," I told h
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
