Natalie stepped inside further. She had her eyes on her sister and from there, her eyes flickered from her step sister to the gorgeous man she respected, who was on the ground.Sophia watched her step sister's jaw drop."What is Andrew doing on the floor?"Andrew quickly got on his feet. He bent over to dust his knees, both women watched as he did that and when he was done, he stood beside Sophia."I'm sorry about what you saw. You must have misunderstood the situation. I saw a stain on the floor and bent over to clean it. Nothing more" Natalie held a doubtful face as she watched him explain more.She waited till he was done talking then, she smiled at him and said she understood.Sophia didn't believe it. There was no way on earth Natalie took things on face value. She was probably lying."Thank you for understanding. I am grateful" Andrew said with a bow, he turned to leave. When he got to the door, he waved at Sophia and disappeared. When he had completely left, Natalie moved her
Sophia froze as she saw her husband's face and heard his voice. She blinked severally, her head wondering what she could say to her husband, how would she get her out of that situation?"William, I can assure you, it is not what you think. I was only answering what my sister here," she pointed to Natalie before continuing, "had said to me. That's all"William swallowed hard. She could see his Adam's apple moving. He turned to face Natalie, his expression stern, "what were you saying to my wife about my cousin?"He cleared his throat, "I'm interested in knowing what could have made her yell at you that way"Natalie shifted her gaze to her step sister as she opened her mouth to speak.She slurred her words, making 'uhm' and 'oh' in between her sentences.Sophia was shaking her head while she muffled silent words. Natalie squinted as she tried to make sense out of them when William turned back to see what she was looking at."Speak!" He commanded her. Natalie got frightened as her body j
Sophia raised her face as she pushed herself away from underneath his balls.William shifted backwards a little."Is there a problem?" Her tingly voice squeaked while she tried to catch her breath. Sophia could still feel the presence of William's groin on her throat, clamping at the tiny dangling thing just above her passageway.She sighed."Your sister is here in my house. Right?"William spoke."Yes!" She answered back just as immediately as she heard the question.Was there something more to it?"Your step sister is close to you and I like that. However…" his voice stopped abruptly as he bent down to her level and grabbed her neck. ".. if I hear you telling her anything crappy about me, I'm sure you know what I can do"Sophia had not expected the sudden move and pressure on her neck. They were just having a good time a few seconds ago. She placed her hand in his, trying to pull him and his grip from her neck. The choke hold was massive."Please stop.." she managed to say. Her fa
Andrew showed his face as he opened the door a little. He flashed a smile at Sophia's direction before realizing she had company. Sophia wiped her eyes as she saw him. Natalie adjusting her hair and pyjamas as she saw him too. She flashed a smile his way but he barely noticed. "Oh. You have someone with you" he said with a flat tone. Sophia nodded. Andrew pushed the door a little more, fully entering her room.".. I'm sorry for interrupting but I needed to see you. Do you have a few minutes to spare? I just need to say a few things, please?" His bright eyes sparkled while he spoke. Sophia turned to look at her step sister. She looked at her as though she needed permission. Natalie nodded."Excuse me, Natalie, will you?"Natalie nodded. Sophia nodded back as she pushed herself out of bed. Launching her body towards where Andrew stood. When she stood before him, she lifted her face to him with a smile, "What's up?"Andrew led her out the door, "outside would be better, don't you think
Sophia sighed when she realized that she was not going to get caught. It was the maid who was coming for her normal routine check of cleaning. She was standing by the hallway with a mop and a vacuum cleaner.She bowed to greet Andrew and her, "Good morning Madam, good morning Master"They greeted her back, smiling and relieved. She got closer to them, dragging the equipment behind her. "Madam?"Sophia responded with a nod and a little 'uhmm' sound."Do you mind me cleaning your room? I'm done with the other rooms. I'd like to clean yours next. May I?"Sophia nodded. It had been a while she had a maid in her room, besides, the room was getting a little dirty too. But she didn't want to stop her conversation with Andrew. "Sure, why not? Sophia turned to the door and pushed it open."There you go!" She said nicely. The maid thanked her again before going in. Andrew smiled, "You really should go in with her. This maid is new and you have to be careful with her, so she doesn't misplace
Sophia smiled at her step sister." I doubt he'd do that for you but you can try" she smirked." I can at least try. There's no harm in that" Natalie replied back."Goodluck" Sophia tried to hush her, " Now that you've decided what you want to do, can I please be left alone, I really want to sleep. I've been tired all morning."Natalie nodded. She took the stuffs she needed from her step sister and walked out of her room."See you later" she said at the door."Bye!" Sophia nodded to her greeting.Natalie had finally gone and Sophia was left all alone. She took the clothes her step sister had left scattered on the bed as she arranged them back in the closet. "Natalie is still as messy as she was back in the day. Looks like she hasn't grown that much"She had finished arranging them when she took the journal on the bed. The one Andrew had given to her. The same one she had almost lost to Natale. She took it to her make-up table. She sat to read it.The first page wasn't so bad and neit
Natalie's entire system stopped. She paused for a while, unable to speak or move. The laughter from the crowd grew louder, how could she move?"Sorry, if I asked that in a rude way, it's just that I'm not so familiar with faces. You look familiar but I seem to have forgotten, could you remind me please?"While everyone was laughing, Andrew turned, staring at their faces, "Do you mind? I'm trying to have a conversation here?"Everyone hushed.Natalie felt the saliva in her mouth dry up. She tried to make more but it seemed impossible.Andrew leaned closer, "I'm so sorry about that. My course mates have a way of making people around me seem a little uncomfortable. I apologize. What were we saying?"Natalie nodded, finally regaining her speech. At Least no one was laughing at her now. He had apologized for it too."I'm Natalie, we met this morning. I'm Sophia's step sister. The one who came visiting"Andrew gasped as he slapped his forehead "Oh my goodness!!! I am so sorry!!"Hearing th
Andrew returned home as he pulled over his car. Packing the stuffs he got from the painter's shop, he took the all out and slammed the door.From where he stood, he could see Sophia's window. He wondered if she was alone. He really needed to see her, he had missed her. Missing having her in his arms and kissing."I'll check her out then" he said as he tightened his grip on the painting board and moved forward.Andrew got up to the front pavement, opened the door to the house before he saw one of the maids. The maid welcomed him, helping him with his stuff."Is anyone home?" He asked her after answering her greetings. The maid shook her head. She managed to say only Sophia was home."Great! Take this to my room, I'll be there in a second" he handed her other things he had bought and pointed upstairs.Once the maid had gotten everything from him, Andrew hurriedly ran up the stairs, running even faster to Sophia's room. Once he got there, he knocked many times."Open up Sophia, it's me,
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
