William dropped the package on his table, his anger simmering at the delivery man's mistake. He dialed a number on his phone, his tone icy as he spoke to the person on the other end."I just received it, why the hell did your fucking delivery man drop it off with someone else?" William seethed, his frustration clear in his voice.The person on the other end of the line apologized profusely. "Oh, I wasn't aware, we're sorry boss."William's temper only seemed to flare at the response."Next time, keep to instructions, and do not drop the package with anyone else," William ordered, before abruptly hanging up the phone.Taking a deep breath, William spun around in his chair, his gaze settling on the package once more. He opened his drawer and retrieved a pair of scissors, carefully cutting open the seal of the package. Retrieving the document inside, William's eyes lit up as he read the contents.As he unfolded the document, a smile slowly spread across his face. "Hmm...60% is a lot," he
Sophia lay there on the bed, her heart pounding with fear and uncertainty as William's heavy breaths filled the room. "Lay with me," he had slurred, his words slurring and his eyes heavy with sleep and alcohol.She lay down beside him, her body tense and her mind racing with worry. But as William's breathing slowed, she began to relax, thinking that perhaps he had finally fallen asleep.But then she felt his hands on her body, heavy and insistent. Her heart lurched in her chest as she feared that he would try to force himself on her again. But to her surprise, he dozed off, his grip on her loosening as he slipped into a deep sleep.Sophia took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She gently raised her head up to check if he was really sleeping, and saw that his eyes were closed.With a sense of relief, she slowly and carefully removed his hands from her body, placing them gently on the bed beside him.Sophia's head spun as she sat up, her mind trying to process what had
Sophia nodded, feeling embarrassed at her own weakness. "Yeah, from William. He made me drink more than I could handle."Andrew shook his head, his eyes flashing with anger. "That guy never knows when to stop. I think I can help though," he said, walking over to the fridge.Sophia watched as Andrew rummaged through the fridge, looking for something. He brought out a couple of ice blocks and put them in a transparent zip lock bag.Turning to face her, he held the bag out to her. "Here, place this on your head. It will help with the headache."Sophia reached up to collect the ice block from Andrew, but Andrew shook his head. "Nah... Don't worry, I'll do it, just relax," he said, gently placing the ice block back on her forehead.She felt a wave of gratitude wash over her. Andrew was always so thoughtful and caring towards her.She closed her eyes, enjoying the cool sensation of the ice on her skin. She felt safe and secure with Andrew by her side.As they stood there in silence, Sophia
Sophia's hand trembled slightly as she reached for her phone, her heart racing with anxiety after hanging up on Natalie.She placed the ice block on the table as she dialed Maria's number. The phone rang several times, but there was no answer.Sophia's nerves were frayed, and she felt a knot forming in her stomach. She dropped the phone on the table and paced back and forth, her mind racing with worry.The phone rang several times, but there was no response. Sophia's anxiety grew with each passing second. She dropped the phone on the table, frustration and fear washing over her in waves. Just then, it rang again. Her stepmother called back, and Sophia picked it up, trying to keep her voice steady."Hey Mom," she said, her heart still racing. "Why does Natalie want to come over?""Is anything wrong with that?" her stepmother replied, sounding puzzled.Sophia bit her lip, feeling guilty for even asking. "Mom, she just can't," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Her stepmother's
Sophia climbed the stairs, her heart heavy with thoughts that tumbled over one another like rocks in a river.She reached the top step and turned to face the door, her hand reaching for the knob. She pushed the door open and stepped inside, her eyes scanning the room for any sign of William.But he was not there.Sophia sighed, and walked over to the bed, sinking down onto the soft mattress. She closed her eyes, hoping that a moment of quiet would help clear her mind.She couldn't shake off the memory of the kiss she shared with Andrew earlier that day, and the guilt was eating her up inside. She knew she was in deep trouble if William found out about her kiss with Andrew, and she was also worried about Natalie's visit.Sophia heard William's footsteps echoing in the hall, and her heartbeat quickened. She quickly moved up onto the bed and pulled the thick blanket over herself, pretending to be asleep.William entered the room, and Sophia pretended to be asleep, her body curled up un
William walked over to the man who had been tied up. He looked at him for what seemed to be a minute before asking him, "why?""Boss. I swear, I didn't mean to. I just had to. Boss, please forgive me. I promise this will never happen again. Please, boss. Pleassee" he said but he was interrupted when Williams grabbed him by the neck. He was choking him. The boy's face turned pale as if he was about to turn into a ghost."Boosss…pllleeeeaaasssseee" the boy managed to say. He was almost dying but Williams kept going. He kept choking the life out of the young boy who sat on the ground pleading for his life. It made him happy to see the boy turn pale."You can mess with anyone in the world. It's understandable but messing with me?.." William's voice trailed off as he lifted his arm with the gun in it and showed it to the boy."…Messing with me is dangerous. I never show mercy to people who betray me or those who steal from me" William said with a smirk. He suddenly let go of the boy's neck
Sophia shook as she saw blood. What were blood stains doing on his collar and what had happened to have caused them to be there in the first place ?"What are you doing here?" He asked her again. Sophia's subconscious mind came back to reality as she shook her head and blinked. William was walking slowly towards her and she started to move too. He looked furious enough to snap her neck."I asked you a freaking question, Sophia!. Tell me, what are you doing here?!!" He roared again."William, I can explain. I was on my way down to get a drink. I was thirsty and then, I heard a phone ring. I thought it was mine but when I checked, it turned out to be coming from your study and that is why I came here. To find out what was ringing." she said as she shivered."What right do you have to come into my study because you thought you heard something?!! How dare you" he ran towards her and caught her by the arm. His grip was tight and grew tighter as she struggled to set herself free. William g
Chapter 32Sophia looked to the bin. She then looked to Willam who was now walking to the bin. William walked over to the bin and took out the note he had placed in the rose basket for her."I got you a gift and you tossed the note I got for you inside the bin. This goes to mean that you do not value what I give to you. That you do not value what your husband gets for you" he said to her as he straightened the paper he picked from the bin."No.. no.. thats not what it meant. I just.. I can explain" Sophia said, stammering as she walked to him. He turned to look at her as she tried to speak."I got the flowers and I read the note. I felt there was no need to keep it and that was why I tossed it out. I did not mean to offend you. I am sorry." She begged.Without saying a word, William smiled. He took a few seconds to look at her. She looked so fragile and beautiful and he liked her that way but it seemed she was taking him for a fool and he was not going to have that. William nodded as
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
