The bandage came off slowly as Sophia gasped. Her leg looked swollen and reddish. She turned to look at William who had a bland expression. Obviously, she didn't care, she wondered why she even bothered to look. William exhaled and then spoke. She expected him to say okay, you can put on a slip on or a mule but instead, she heard different words. "I bought you a diamond plated sleek heel for this ceremony and you are going to wear it" he said with a stern expression. She shifted from his side as she struggled to stand. She couldn't as she put her leg flat on the ground, she felt much pain. She screamed out loud in frustration. "William, you've got eyes, can't you see that I am in serious pain. Please consider me. I can attend the next one. I am seriously injured, please" she said to him as she pointed to her leg. William curved his mouth to a smile, "I'm sure you feel from the bathroom to avoid not going out with but your plan has failed because crippled or not, you and I are attendi
Sophia wedged herself on the wall as the slap she had given William's hand led him to leave her arm. She tried to stand tall as she spoke. "Are you a lunatic or something?" She paused, tears were almost rolling off her eyes and at that moment, she could not been seen as weak. William would manipulate it to his advantage. She lifted her face to the ceiling and tried to fan air into her eyes with her hand. She gradually colled them off as she brought her face down and gave William a death stare."The woman you claimed as your bride is badly hurt and suffering. She can barely walk. You see quite well that she is limping and you decided the best way to help her is to pull her by the hand?!! Are you insane!??" Sophia asked as she screamed at the top of her voice. If it was a neighbor with many people around, William was sure it would attract a lot of attention. He wanted to react but instead, he calmed down. He crossed his arms as he waited for her to finish speaking. "There are a lot of
The person who had grabbed her was none other than Andrew. She hadn't seen him but being sexually intimate with him had made her unconsciously know his body scent. She smiled, "what are you doing here?" She asked him. Andrew didn't answer until they had gotten away from William's car. He soon released her from his grip as he gently turned her to face him."I heard you screaming in pain and thought to come check on you. What happened.?" He asked as he kept his hands on his side, directly looking into Sophia's eyes. He looked concerned. Sophia smiled as she started to explain. She tried to tell him that she slipped and fell off in the restroom and that was all. "It hurts but I think I'll be over in a week's time" she concluded her talking to Andrew with those words. Andrew nodded as he looked down at her feet. "Which one is it again?" He asked as he leaned his neck from side to side to check for the differences in her leg. Before Sophia could answer which leg it was, he bent over and ge
They got to the party as William drove into their parking space. It was being held in a grand luxury hotel. The lights that illuminated from the hotel's area made it look so elegant and grand. Sophia had never been to parties like this before. They were all for rich people she knew and she, was not rich–up until she married William. But even so, she hadn't exactly had a dime to her name."Get out. I have to find a suitable parking space" William said as he parked the car and unlocked her door. Sophia nodded as she turned to open her door. William called back, "Sophia. This is an event and a lot of people will be here. Do not dare me by trying to befriend any of them, is that clear?" William pulled his ear as he spoke. It was almost as though he was talking to a small child but Sophia didn't mind. She was busy looking around to be offended. "You're my wife. Don't embarrass me!" He said as she got off the car slowly and closed the door behind her. She stood there admiring the decor of
William who had been holding a smiley face suddenly dropped his cheek bones. He was now frowning as he turned to his wife and raised a brow. Sophia looked like she was bickering on and on about something that he did not care about. Was it because he smiled at her?He needed to correct that.He called out her name loudly, "Sophia!!!" She turned to answer him. Well, it looked like it wasn't only her who had heard her name but also the whole auditorium as everyone also turned to look at what caused the noise and who was calling who.He turned too as he glared back at everyone. Once the people noticed it was him who had shouted, they immediately took their eyes off his direction. Sophia noticed it too, it looked like no one would dare him. She noticed him smiling as he saw people move their heads back to where they had previously been kept.William turned to his wife as he smiled. Sophia was becoming angry as he could see her forehead wrinkling. He watched as she she put her hands on the
"This portrait was given to us by one of our very own here at Sheraton group of companies. He donated this piece of art and it will be hung over the ceiling at the entrance" The man holding the mic said to her. He seemed to be overly excited as he pointed to the painting. Everyone cheered and clapped as they saw the painting. It looked beautiful and magnificent. Sophia couldn't believe her eyes as her jaw dropped."William, what did you do?" She turned to ask him. William who had lit a cigarette at that moment puffed his cigarette as he moved his eyes to her face. He licked his lips and grabbed a glass of wine."What do you think I did? What does it look like it is?" He asked sarcastically. Sophia couldn't help the tears that were building in her eyes. She could not believe her eyes. William had taken one of her nude portraits and donated it to the hotel. A five star hotel that would surely have an audience. Why? Was he that cruel?Tears rolled off her eyes as she bent her head down.
Sophia kept hearing the cheers and gasps of people all around her. Tears were still flowing from her eyes but she couldn't take it anymore. She had to know what was going on and so she decided to raise her head up.Slowly and carefully, Sophia raised her head up. She had expected to see her naked body out in the open but instead, she saw a lovely painting of her face in an abstract painting. She turned to William with a sudden face of confusion. William smiled as he joined the crowd to clap and cheer for her. She looked a little confused.A few minutes later, after everything had died down, Sophia drew closer to William as she leaned in to whisper into his ears."What was that for?" She asked with confusion on her face. William rolled his eyes as he gave her his raised eyebrow."What were you expecting?" He also leaned in to whisper into her ears. " Don't tell me you were thinking I would show the world world your body!!...you're mine. Mine and mine alone. Why would I share you with t
William drove really fast as he looked at his side mirror. He had to get there fast, hopefully he would meet Mr Chan before he got on the plane. He had already informed his boys to be on their way as well."Where are we going anyway?" Sophia asked him in a low voice. She looked exhausted and ready to go home but not yet, he needs to meet with Mr Chan first. He was doing this for her anyway, William managed to convince himself as he stepped on the pedal, the car's speed increasing.Sophia yawned. She covered her mouth as she yawned to avoid being scolded by William. While he drove, she tried to adjust her car seat and lie on it. She was now feeling nauseous at that point and William seemed not to pay her attention as he drove so she had to sort that problem by herself.From the corner of her eye, she could see the relief in his face when he muttered, "We are here. Get ready to come out when I call your name" he said as he found somewhere to park. William parked the car and then got out
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
