The dumb maid was standing before William with her head bowed. She had brought the steak, along with plates and cutleries to his room."I asked you to prepare my meal, not to bring them here. Get out!" He yelled at the maid.The young maid quivered. The tray in her hand almost fell off but she caught it just in time. William angrily closed the door as he retreated back into his room. He had expected to see Sophia but that was not her. He grew even more furious at her. He was sure going to punish ber for this."Why isn't here to welcome me?" William said as he stomped his hands on his table.He had expected his wife to welcome him but she didn't. Why?William shook his head as he tried to clear his head of those thoughts. Why was he even getting upset when she was his plaything? His object of satisfaction?'No one gets worked up because of their plaything, why should i?" He wondered. William shook his head again as he came to a decision. He took a deep breath and smiled. He was going t
Natalie stood by the door with her luggage beside her. She was smiling while she waved at her step sister."I've missed you," she said with a warm smile.Sophia blushed. She couldn't believe her eyes. Her step sister was right in front of her. Finally, someone she could call family.Tears started to roll off her eyes and down her cheeks. Natalie lifted her arm up as she covered her mouth. Both sisters started to cry again and then, Sophia moved in. She moved to embrace her sister as she hugged Sophia tightly."I've missed you so much."Natalie tightly gripped on her step sister's body as they stayed in their embrace for a while and then gradually, Sophia peeled off. "I thought I would never see you again" Sophia said with a smile. The tear had now rolled down to her shirt.Natalie let out a short laugh, "Sophia, that's so silly, why would you think that of me?" She wiped her eyes."You're my sister, of course I would always see you, no matter where you go"She giggled afterwards.Sop
Sophia quickly wiped her eyes and adjusted her dress as she heard the voice. She peeled off Natalie and stood straight."Hello.. Darling, I'm sorry, Sophia." The thickness of the voice sounded familiar. It didn't sound like that of William. Regardless, Sophia's heart skipped. Had she been caught speaking ill of William?What kind of punishment was he going to give her today?The door opened wide and Andrew's head popped into the room. His hair was wet and his chest bare. His bicep looked fresh and fair as he pushed his way in. He had a towel in his hand which he was drying his hair with. His hair had covered his face when he lifted his face up, parted his hair and smiled.Sophia looked at her step sister beside her as Natalie's jaw fell. She was literally drooling. Sophia blushed inwardly, the man her step sister was drooling over was begging to be hers. She felt a sudden need to be proud."Hello there!" Andrew said to Natalie as he wiped his wet hand on the towel he had on his waist
Sophia grew curious. What was her step sister talking about and did they perhaps know each other? She took a deep breath, waiting for Natalie to say something. Natalie gasped again. "Oh my fucking gosh!!!.. I can't believe it!" Sophia straightened her neck as she leaped to see what her step sister was talking about. "What is that, Natalie?... What's going on?" Natalie did a little twirl for her sister as she smiled at her step sister. With a loud laugh, she jumped. "Sophia!! You won't believe it!!" "Believe what?" "Andrew goes to my school!! He and I are a building apart!" Natalie said excitedly. "We're literally windows away from each other!" She said as she did her happy dance. Sophia's heart sank as her chest fell but she refused to show it. She was a married woman after all! "Is that right?" She asked with a fake smile. Natalie could barely notice her sister over her own excitement. She was already too happy to see anything beyond the phone screen in her hand. "Yeah!
William moved closer to his cousin as he stood face to face with him. They were barely inches apart as William looked into his eyes."Do you perhaps have any idea what I am talking about?"Andrew shook his head. "I don't understand you. How could you think that?"His face looked curious to know what William was thinking."I have this feeling inside me." William turned around and walked to where his cousin stood. Again, he was inches away from his cousin. He stood tall and huge while Andrew shrunk before his cousin.He held his breath, one wrong move could lead to William suspecting something.Andrew had to act cool.How would he do that?!"Whatever you do, do not scratch your head" he said to himself. William knew he was one to scratch his head whenever he was sad. "Actually, I wanna know how you found this out"William smiled, "I had other things I set in place." He turned around as he pointed to a specific spot in the wall, just above the wall art of a tiger he had, which stared a
Andrew smiled wryly. He coughed a little and then smiled again."What do you mean by my name on the Teddy bear?" He coughed again, "I don't remember giving your wife a teddy bear"William nodded, "But the teddy bear in her room has everything you described it to be and it even has your name on it. Why?*Andrew shrugged, "Maybe it's a coincidence. I wouldn't know"While both men stood to speak in the hallway, Sophia strolled past, she was headed to her room. She had her head hanging low as she dragged her feet across the carpeted floor, peeling off the scales of glue on her palms. Natalie had asked her to help design her room and she was on her way back when… "Come over here, Sophia!"A voice called her.Sophia lifted her face to see William and Andrew standing together, they were both inches apart. Sophia felt her muscles tense up. What was going on?Immediately, she started walking as she lifted one foot in front of the other. She came close to them and stood beside her husband."Y
Sophia was about to tell her sister about the mysterious sender when she came to her senses. She shook her head in disagreement with her silent thoughts."Don't… " she whispered to herself."What's that?" Natalie asked as she took her ear closer to her sister's mouth. Sophia cleared her throat, "Nothing!"Natalie straightened her back and asked again."No o!" Sophia started to walk away fast. Before her sister could say another word, Sophia had reached her room and was already closing the door behind her.Natalie got to her step sister's room as she started to knock."What's so bad about telling me who gave that to you?" She knocked a few times," Come on. I'd love to listen to who it was"Sophia had stopped talking as she tiptoed into her bathroom, got in and locked the door behind her again. She went to the corner of her bathtub, folded herself in and turned the tap on. Hopefully, the noise of water rushing would send Natalie away.Sophia waited for a while and then went out to chec
Natalie kept asking him questions until Andrew got upset."Can you please stop talking?" He said with a raised hand in her face. "I need to think please"Natalie kept mute for a while and then smiled at him."I see you're not in a good mood. It's okay, how about I keep quiet and watch you do your thing?"Andrew nodded and moved away. He could not take it anymore. Natalie had talked the curiosity to see Sophia out of his system. Natalie smiled. She had just found herself a lover and she was not going to let him go. She followed him immediately. They took a few steps away from the door when Sophia opened it.Just then, her eyes caught Natalie and Andrew walking away together, kind of like they were already getting along.Sophia got back into her room as she went back to the bathroom. She picked up the shower head as she washed her face again. It wasn't easy what she was facing. She didn't want to think about it so much. "Leave it alone Sophia. You're a married woman for goodness sake.
While Sophia sat packing her bags, she couldn't help but look over at the corner of her room. The baby things she had asked for were all piled up there. Both pink and blue. Sophia recalled what had just happened. She had lost her baby. The child she had as a product of her love for Andrew. It hurt her. Tears rolled down her eyes, causing her to sob again."Sophia, I understand what's going through your head looking through those things.. I'm sorry about it and I know it won't be easy but right, you have to take your mind off it and concentrate on the mission we have ahead"Natalie walked over to her step sister's side, patting her on the back as she squatted to face her. "You'll be fine again"Sophia sobbed some more before nodding age finally standing up. She attempted to walk but fell to the ground. She couldn't walk properly, her abdomen and body was still sore from the 'accident' she had had with William. Natalie rushed to her, "it's alright, I've got you. I'll help you"Together
Sophia awoke to finding herself in a hospital. She was strapped in with so many needles and could hear nothing but the beeping of the machine beside her. Seated next to her was William. He had bent his head over her feet, he was asleep.Sophia took a moment to look around. Her hospital room looked like a five star luxurious hotel. It would have been an enjoyable escape from William if he wasn't already beside her. She tried to adjust herself in the bed when she mistakenly awoke William."You're up" he said to her in a dry voice. He stretched his body, frowning his face as though his limbs had hurt him. "At least you're alive"His words didn't make much sense to Sophia until she looked down at her stomach. She immediately realized the pain she was feeling from it, "William.. " She looked back up at him. "What happened to my baby?""Your foolishness caused it. You tried to run from me, don't you remember? You should be grateful, I didn't shoot you in the head. Pathetic wench" William r
William dragged Sophia to the airport, strapping her to the back of his car seat. He had their belongings in the back of his trunk and was also followed by heavy security, Incase anyone or Andrew tried to stop him. William looked from the side of his mirror every few minutes while he drove. He wasn't going to take any chances. They were going to leave the country that day."I see you're so confident now. You even dare to go against my words. That's nice" he smirked, "I have something nice awaiting that attitude of yours in the new place we are going to. I'm sure you'll love being strapped to the ceiling this time" he scuffed.Sophia sat at the back of his car seat. Her mouth and hands were covered and bound. She couldn't move not talk but she managed to mumble something back to him. As William adjusted the mirror to see her clearly while he drove, he could see her clearly then.Sophia had another set of tears rolling down her eyes. William smiled, it seemed the toughness in her hand
William walked out of the door. He had gotten a hold of the passports and flight tickets from his thugs. He was out of the embassy building and was staring right at it.Previously, he had gone to his office and settled all matters concerning his business. William delegated new roles to new men and had set up preventive measures to watch them. Everyone knew he was a top shot in his game and he was sure they wouldn't dare to betray him, unless they were about to find out what had happened to their predecessors.He looked away from the building, letting his eyes roam around the high skyscrapers while he simultaneously searched for his car. Tightly grabbing on the file that contained the documents that continued his documents and that of his bride, William got into his car and drove home.Arriving home, he called on all the maids in the house, asking them to meet him for a meeting.When they had all arrived at his sitting room, William started handing out pieces of papers and envelopes. F
Sophia was taking too long to answer his question. William was growing tired of her pleas and what was more embarrassing were the sighs he was hearing from the thugs he had asked for security. They sighed every few minutes, as though they were of what they were watching. It felt like his talk and her pleads were boring them. William frowned. He was boring them? Oh no! He was going to make sure they were entertained enough."You wench, speak!" He spat out from no where. His voice had risen by a bass or two. He was now grabbing Sophia by the collar while he stared int her eyes. He could see fear. She as terrified. But from the corner of his eyes, William could see the thugs had now stood up straight. It looked like they were now very interested in what was happening between them.It gladdened William's heart."You don't want to speak, fine!!" he barked at her as he pushed her forcefully, back into her chair, holding her blouse's collar, he started to drag at it, causing it to tear.So
Sophia was carried into Andrew's studio with her belongings right behind her. William followed closely. He smiled at her, constantly clapping while he mockingly praised her."Drop her there." He gesture with his neck, pointing to the chair he had sitting in the center of the studio. "Strap her tight, my wife here, has a way of always leaving me for reasons I have no idea about" Sophia was dropped on the chair forcefully, leading her to moan in pain. The thugs William had brought tightly gripped her hands, strapping her down into the chair, making Sophia cry."William, please. William, I beg you. It's not what you think, William, please let me go" she begged with a low soft tone. More tears rolled down her eyes quietly. "William, please"William stood by the door with his arms folded, watching his thugs strap her to the chair. When they were done, he took a step to where she sat, sizing her up from her head to her toe and back."You really out-did yourself today, Sophia. You're not a
Andrew was halfway home inside his car. As he drove out of the hotel and was about to move past a traffic light, Andrew felt his head bang harder. It was no longer bearable. He looked at his side mirror in an attempt to find a good parking space and then get help.Luckily, there was a drug store nearby, so Andrew got in. He got in a few painkillers, some chewing and a bottle of water.That was enough for him."Thanks" he said as he waved to the cashier. He had asked her to keep the change too.Getting back into his car, Andrew took the drug down his throat with a sip of water. It had almost choked him when he heard his phone ring. He hesitated in brining it out of his pocket but the constant ring of it made him submit.He took out the phone, clearing his throat.The water had missed it's way from his mouth, entering his windpipe. Andrew composed himself, he looked at the display number and frowned. It was an unknown number.Andrew took a second to figure out who might have been call
Sophia had cleaned herself off really good and she was now out of her bedroom and on her way to the kitchen. She was having a craving. Sophia needed something sweet down her throat, "maybe a lollipop would help" she thought.As Sophia passed through the hallway and was almost at the turn when she heard William's loud voice. She wondered what was going on.William was great at pouring his anger on her alone, it must have been really serious for him to have been shouting and using curse words. She had to take a look.Walking back slowly, Sophia creeped up behind his door and started to eavesdrop. "What do you mean you don't have enough men?" William roared. " What kind of guarding agency doesn't have enough men? What in the fucking world is that?!"She could even hear him panting from where she stood. He must have been very upset and agitated. Sophia had only gotten to see that side of him when he found out she was pregnant and showed her his results."What's gotten into him?" She lean
William ran his hand through her face as he drew a line on her features, connecting her forehead to her earlobe to her bosoms. It was a fetish thing he had never done before and William was eager to try it."Today, I want you to have a good day" he said as he ran his hand through her hair while she hung from the iron bar. Her body was bound by ropes while she was strapped naked to the bar. Sophia swung side to side. "I've been so hard on you and I'm sure that's why you got pregnant for another man" he traced his finger to the back of her neck, biting down on his lower lips while he smiled at her, "Regardless, I want to be a nice person to you. I'm sorry, okay?*Sophia said nothing, her body suspended in the air, sore and tired."Did you hear me?"he stopped using his finger to trace her features and stood still, staring deeply into her sea blue eyes. "Sophia… "Sophia sighed. She nodded, "Yes. Yes, William, I heard you"William nodded, he smiled again and took a closer step, cupping h
