Sophia said nothing and her silence annoyed William the more. It was like he was taking her for a fool. How dare she?"You refused to speak to me? Are you suddenly dumb?!!"He bent over to pull her by the hair. The gun in his hand had served its purpose as William was sure Sophia was now frightened enough to talk. He liked it."Have you forgotten who yoy belong to? Have you forgotten I am your god?!!! Tell me who!!" Sophia begged, she kept insisting it was him as William pushed her head backwards, groaning at her in anger, "You refuse to tell but I will find out and when I'm done with you, you'll wish you had never opened your legs for another man."Sophia sniffed, wiping her eyes, slowly bringing her head upwards to see his face.She wore a look of sadness over her face, her face looked swollen and red."William, I can swear it, you've been the only man I've been with all this while"A slap fell on her cheek after she finished talking.Sophia fell face flat on the floor. William did
William's eyes wandered around as he watched his cousin's expression. Andrew held a neutral face. His blue eyes were wide and shiny.William grinned. His cousin was a fine man indeed. William was about to speak when he noticed a lipstick on Andrew's shirt. He frowned. "What's that?" His hand pointed to Andrew's collar.Andrew dropped his face to see what it was. A pink stain had spread across the top of his colar. He chuckled a little. "Oh, it's nothing""Tell me"Andrew looked back at his cousin with a deep smile, "Well, if you must know, Natalie and I are now an item" he took his hand to his colar as he tried to wipe the stain off. "We just started dating anyway. This must have have happened when she kissed me this morning. I apologize if I look stupid"William facial expression immediately softened. His heart had skipped a little thinking the worst but after hearing that, William felt fine. He smiled again. "So about what you intended to ask me before. What could it be?"William
William could have missed the comment if he didn't stand still to listen. The 'yes' resounded loudly in his ear, maybe because he was waiting for it.His ears perked up at the sound of it as if he was a dog."Who said that?" He responded. "What did you see and who?" William moved to where he thought the answer came from.He stood in front of his newest maid. Peering his eyes at her."Was it you?"Everywhere was silent as people watched both of them. The other maids shifted backwards, creating more space for her so that she could talk freely. William bent to her eye level, giving her a non-chalant smile, "Looks like you'll be getting a reward this month. Talk to me, who did you see?"The maid lowered her head in fear. William must have sensed it. He took his hand to her shoulder, hoping it would reassure her."You are in my house. There is no need to be scared. No one will hurt you here"She still kept mute.William waited for some few seconds before asking her to speak again."I don't
Andrew pulled the door away from its frame, opening it to its fullest limit."Come in, what's wrong?" He watched as she nodded and thanked him. Sophia walked through his door, making her way to his bed."We need to talk"Andrew closed the door behind him, sighing heavily. Hearing the word 'talk" from Sophia made him feel uneasy. Something bad must have happened. He made his way to the bed space beside her and sat. "Alright, I'm listening. What's wrong?"Sophia drew a long breath while she sat beside him, staring at an art piece of his. It was a portrait of a naked lady's behind. Andrew drew the entire picture, she was sure but it was covered up by him. Only the rear end was showing, She exhaled."What's going on with us?"Her words rolled off her tongue slowly and in a soft tone. Sophia was being gentle in the way she spoke to him today, Andrew wondered why."What do you mean?" "Andrew, I've noticed this distance between us and it worries me. You and I used to be great friends togeth
A wave of shock and disappointment sat comfortably on Natalie's face as she held Andrew's door knob tightly. Her jaw had dropped and saliva started to drool off her tongue."Andrew!!.. Sophia! What are you doing?" She yelled in anger. Suddenly, she closed the door in a bang, walking to Sophia, attempting to drag her sister off her boyfriend by the hair.Andrew blocked her."How dare you!!!" She fought back, her long nails were long and pointy. She looked like she was ready to claw into her sister's eyes."How could you kiss him?!!!" She barked.Andrew had gotten up from where he sat, he held back his girlfriend, stopping her from scratching her step sister, "What are you doing?!!! Natalie.. stop. Calm down"Sophia looked frightened. She had backed away a little. She attempted to speak but she had no words. She had been caught in the act. What could she possibly give as an excuse?"You're a cheating piece of shit!! You're married for goodness sake. How dare you try to cheat on your hu
William got back from checking on the CCTV footage outside. He walked around the neighborhood asking if anyone had seen his wife with anyone or if any of the security had seen an unfamiliar man come into his house.All the answers he got were mostly 'no' and that they only knew Andrew to be the only male in his house."Are you sure you saw no one?" He asked with a stern expression, "I mean anyone? Tell me if you saw anyone at all. I need to know"The security guard still shook his head. He meant it. He wore a serious expression too. "No one else sir, Mr Andrew is the only person male I have seen around here, got should ask him some questions if you need to know anything else"The thought of Andrew being responsible for his wife's pregnancy creeped into his mind but he pushed it away with the shake of his head. William could not bring himself to believe that his own cousin would impregnate his wife. It was definitely impossible for him. "Thank you for your answer, carry on with your w
William got an idea to celebrate his wife. A baby to him was a blessing after all. Yes, he was mad at her for cheating on him with another man but having a child and starting his family was something he had also hoped for. He was going to take the child. William Junior. A cold shower was able to calm his nerves. Feeling refreshed and better, William walked out of the shower with a towel on his waist in a happy mood. He made his way to the bedside, grabbing his phone. He wiped the phone clean from the water that had rolled down on it from his wet hair."Shit!" He uttered in shock. His screen had started to move because of the simmered water.William smiled at himself. He wasn't going to let it work him up. He dialed a number carefully. "Hello, Mallory, I want to make a reservation for my family and I at your hotel this evening" The details were discussed better with him going back and forth on what he needed present."A cake, some big balloons, decorations and all that. Make them
William dragged the seat out for his wife to sit. Sophia looked at him with a smile. If only he was naturally that nice."Hello everyone, I apologize for the late arrival. My wife and I had some traffic we ran into. No offense, everyone"William sat comfortably at his side of the problem."Let's begin" he signaled to the waiters and waitresses to bring the meals. Sophia looked over to her step sister's table and flashed her a smile. Natalie ignored her. She swallowed hard. Her eyes roamed over to Andrew who had bright eyes fired at her. He smiled and winked at her.Sophia nodded."Alright, let's dig in" William watched as the waiters brought the food. Everyone got a plate of good steak and fresh juice first.Sophia waited for her plate to be neatly placed before she started to eat. William ate before her."So. What did you call us here for?" Andrew said while he chunked down pieces of sliced meat down his mouth. It was tender meat but he chewed on it in a funny way. Sophia held back
