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
Sophia was halfway through the room on her knees when Andrew knocked on the door. She heaved a sigh of relief as she heard his voice. He was her saving grace front that moment."I looked for you in your room earlier and you weren't there. Why?" William asked with a commanding tone.He had pushed the sheets off him as he stood up from the bed and walked over the bed. He did not even bother to tell Sophia to stand up or adjust herself when he swung open the door. As he swung the door open, Andrew caught a little glimpse of Sophia in her crawling position before she immediately adjusted herself and sat well on the ground."Come in. You are beginning to get on my nerves these days" he said in a more commanding tone. Andrew walked in and gently closed the door behind. He smiled as he looked at his cousin."Cousin… you need to take it easy. Work has got you stressed and you're taking it out on me. Take it easy.. how about a drink afterwards" he said to his cousin with another smile.Hmmm. W
Sophia stood moving as she turned to William. Clearly, she had just messed up."What do you mean?.. Your cousin is hurt? He needs help. We should go help him" she said to him."He is my cousin but you stood up first and even rushed to go save him. Sophia, I warned you not to be this way for any man but you don't listen. Come here you little brat!" He said as he stood up. His towel was almost falling but he gripped with one hand. He tried to fix it well on his waist. "William. I did it out of concern. I did not mean anything you thought. Please. Please have mercy" she said as she closed the door back and leaned on the wall. She had a frightened look in her eyes as she slowly backed away from him."Come here!" He beckoned on her again."Please" Sophia refused to go to him, instead, she backed away slowly. William looked at her without blinking. He was beginning to get upset again. He beckoned on her for the last time and as she moved away from him again, William asked her."Sophia. Wha
Sophia nodded to what Andrew had told her to do as she picked herself from the floor and ran out the door. She was out of the door and running out into the street. Sophia was determined to run as far as she could. She could not bear to come back to William's house, especially after what she had done to William. She was sure he would punish her in far worse ways than he usually did. This time he could even kill her.Sophia was running on the road as she tried to avoid cars and people. She was sure she had put some distance between her and William's house when she turned to look back. It looked a little far from her. She turned back to focus on her way as she tried to run further.Sophia ran past roads and was now in a subway station. She was barefooted and ran through the stairs when a nail pricked her toes and entered into it.She tried to look at it as she lifted one foot in her hand and held it up to her face. She saw blood gushing from her toe and was trying to clean the wound with
Sophia noticed William about to turn to have a look at her and so she quickly adjusted herself and wiped her eyes before laying her hand by her side. William turned his eyes and saw his wife laying still on the bed as he walked to her and bent over to give her a kiss on the forehead.He then gestured the Doctor to the door as he walked to the door too and opened it for the doctor. He let the doctor walk out first and then followed him too.Sophia laid still for a few minutes before she eventually opened her eyes to check if they had really gone. She stood up from her bed carefully as she walked to the door and opened it a little.She saw her husband and the doctor through the creek of the door. They were talking by the wall. The doctor was leaning against the wall while William was standing in front of him. William was speaking to him while he kept nodding. He looked intimidated and scared as he nodded to every word William said to him.Sophia gently closed the door and walked back in
Sophia walked into the restroom with the shopping back William had given to her in her hand. She closed the door behind her and sighed as she wondered what she could do to escape William. She looked around the restroom, it looked neatly arranged and beautiful but she wasn't in the mood to appreciate aesthetics as of that time. She needed to escape.Sophia got on the toilet seat as she tried to have a look at the air vents. Hopefully, she would see one and she could fit into it. The toilet seat was slippery and she nearly fell but she wedged herself well and balanced properly. She reached up to the ceiling and could not reach it as she let out a grunt."What do I do?" She muttered to herself. She looked around for something to lift her higher but there was nothing and suddenly, she heard a knock on the door."Honey. Are you done already? We need to get home fast. I have a meeting after dropping you off" William said as he knocked on the restroom door again. Her heartbeat quickened. It
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
