Chapter 111I WANT A DIVORCETANA'S POV."You have been acting strange, Ryan," I said, my voice tinged with concern for him, as I stared at him with curiosity. I leaned in closer and held his hands, hoping to strike up a conversation. I wanted to know the reasons for his actions; I was concerned about him, and he had refused to talk to me about anything bothering him. I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help, as he had been showing no signs of interest in us and ignoring me and our son lately."What exactly is going on?" I asked, peering into his eyes, "Our son and I need you, but you have been treating us as if we do not matter lately, Ryan. Did I do something? Gazing into his eyes, I asked."Perhaps he would speak to me." I thought to myself, I missed Ryan, and I would be happy to help him in any way possible to make him feel like himself again.Ryan turned to look at me and sighed. I could see that he was bittered and that tears had welled up in his eyes. "What was
Chapter 112RYAN FOUND ME... SOPHIE'S POV.. I smirked with satisfaction as I went over the files I was working on that day. Finally, I had taught Ryan a valuable lesson for all the pain he had caused me. But deep down, I knew this was just the beginning of his misery. There were still many more tricks up my sleeve and I was just wanting for the right time.As I scrolled through the documents that lead to Ryan's arrest, a sinister smile played on my lips. Ryan had underestimated me, and now he would pay dearly for it. I had ensured there was no way he was getting out of it. He was going to pay for everything he had done without even knowing it.I dropped the file and leaned back wards on the chair, smiling sinisterly as I wondered in my thoughts. " Well-done Sophie, look all you could achieve within a short period." I stated as I stared at the files over the table, I was happy about everything that was happening and I could not hide the joy and excitement I felt.I rounded up with
Chapter one PREGNANT!! SOPHIE'S POV "Congratulations, Sophie; you are six weeks pregnant."I overheard the doctor say as he gestured to shake my hands.His remarks startled me, and I gazed blankly for a while, wondering what to reply. This news was not my expectation. It was more than I had imagined. "Mrs Sophie," he yelled for me once more, a bit louder than before and I jolted back to reality feeling absolutely no thrill. I could not possibly be pregnant. After learning of the pregnancy, my thoughts had wandered, but his call snapped me back to reality. Regaining my composure, I shook his hand and thanked him. " Emm......Thanks." He gave me an eerie look as I responded and stood to go, unsure about what to do next. My aunt would murder me if she found out I was pregnant. Despite her warnings about Ryan, I persisted in dating him, and now this. I had been sick a few days and my aunt insisted I go to the hospital and see a doctor but pregnancy was not exactly how I hoped i
Chapter 2GET RID OF IT!!!!SOPHIE'S POVAs I sneaked inside my office, I heard someone voice call out, scared to my bones I stopped as I soon as I heard the voice. I turned towards the direction of the voice and I soon overcame my trepidation as I recognised it was my aunt.Quite unexpectedly, she arrived early at the store. I did not anticipate her to be in the store at this time and had no excuse yet to tell her. Clutching my hair, I moved in her direction while concealing my face in the hopes that she would not probe too much."Hi Aunt Susan," I walked to where she was sitted and embracing her thinking it would help me avoid this dilemma. When I let go of her, she did not say anything and just looked at me. I knew she wanted answers. " Maybe she would not react as badly as I had anticipated" I thought to myself, but I was not ready to give up, yet I could not hide anymore."Ahm, I went to the hospital as you suggested, and........" I stuttered and stayed muted as I did not know
Chapter ThreeIT'S HIMSOPHIE'S POV.I heard a knock at the door as I was preparing to head to my daughter's school. Her school instructor had phoned to inquire about her whereabouts. Jade's attempt to matchmake me with a man was not her first instance of acting naughtily. With all my heart, I prayed she was okay and this was just one of her misadventures."Hello, Mrs Sophie, how are you doing today? The school instructor at Jade's school inquired."Hello, Ma'am. I am doing well. Is there a reason you are calling? Is Selene okay? I inquired as I was intrigued about the purpose for the call. I had lied to the school that Selene father was out of the country so everyone referred to me as Mrs even though I had no husband."It is regarding your daughter Selene, we did not see her at school today and were wondering why, so we decided to call you," the instructor said."What do you mean she is not at school? She took the bus this morning." I shouted at the school instructor as I hung up t
Chapter 4MARRY ME SOPHIESOPHIE'S POVThe stranger and I both turned to face Selene, and astounded by her outburst, I scowled and warned her not to say it again."Do not talk like that!" I grimaced as I gazed at her. Dhaken by what Jade had just said, I attempted to defuse the tension by giggling to make sure the stranger did not interpret her remarks as intended."I apologise for her outburst; kids can be difficult to deal with, and I am sure she has no idea what she is saying," I mouthed, attempting to grin. Selene still in my embrace."Tha.......nk.....you." I muttered afterwards and was suddenly interrupted by Lois laughter. I was completely unaware of her presence the entire time.We turned to look at her, and while she laughed hysterically, I wondered what was funny about the whole thing." What gives you the impression that this man would desire her since your mother's attitude prevented her from keeping a man?" Lois waved her palm at Selene, who was in my hands, making fun of
Chapter 5 KARL'S POV PACK THIS!!! Walking out of Sophie's apartment, I marvelled at my good fortune. After learning more about her, and on Max's advise, I had gone looking for her. I pondered for a while before deciding it was the best strategy since I did not want the press to be all over me about the divorce, and I also needed a nanny for my four year-old son Davis, whom Claire had left me with. I came across a little girl who begged me to assist her get home. I had grown a liking for the little girl who was so adorable and hard to resist and on finding out who she was I took her home to meet her mother too. "Who would have thought that the little girl who I met on the street and who had begged for my help was Sophie own daughter." I muttered aloud as I walked away, turning to gaze at the house again. "Max's advice was not so horrible after all." I grumbled to myself as I walked to my car, my thoughts racing with how I had found out about Sophie. Max's unexpected suggestion eas
Chapter 6Tick tock says the clock.Sophie's POVMy phone beeped as I stood up to open the door, but the knock persisted, so I decided to go see who was knocking. When I reached the door, I sighed heavily, praying it was not Karl. I needed sometime to figure out how to salvage the situation. I did not want to accept his proposal and that would hurt Selene since she was already quite fond of him.I needed a flawless cover story for why the marriage would fail, and I wanted him to be on my side to persuade Selene."How was I supposed to handle this?" the persistent knock on the door prompted me to ask myself this question. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see an unexpected visitor. It was a young man, too elegantly dressed to be a delivery man, carrying a package. It was a lot going on in one day, and I prayed for the best. I glanced at him, without concealing my concern about what he wanted. I looked at the parcel warily, wondering who it was for."Good day, ma'am, I was i
