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
