Chapter 39SOPHIE'S POVSECRETS TO THE GRAVE......I just kept watching the phone ring as I did not know what to say to him. "What am I supposed to say to him." I wondered as I stared at my phone ring. I decided it was best not to pick it and headed to check on a few things upstairs. Thoughts of how best to handle the situation flooded my mind as I headed upstairs to the room.I soon got to the room with the phone ringing none stop. I wanted to turn it off but decided against it as I didn't want to miss any of Karl's calls in case anything came up." What was I supposed to do now?" I asked deep in thoughts." But it wasn't a lie." I mumbled as I thought about everything. He sounded as though I had sold him a story that wasn't true while that wasn't the case. it just didn't pan out as he had expected and even though I had a hand in it, we both benefited mutually from the arrangement.I was sure he got alot of bonuses and became popular as a result as he was all over town as the famous
CHAPTER 40SELENE POV.THE PERFECT PLAN....After talking to his ears, I stood up and smiled mischievously at Xavier. He chuckled, indicating that he understood what I meant. I had devised a plan to deal with Davis. Xavier had urged that I teach Davis a lesson so he would not mess with me again, even though I was hesitant since I did not want to hurt him, I agreed to do it because I was sick of Davis and his drama. He needed to be taught a lesson.My birthday party was ruined and I became the talks on everyone's lips, all thanks to Davis not being able to hold his tongue. I was just going to let all of that slide, because mummy had asked that I forgave him, but on second thought Davis didn't deserve any second chances, he was so arrogant and treated me so poorly so I decided to make him pay for what he did instead. I decided it was best to teach Davis a small lesson.I had come up with just the perfect plan to deal with Davis. I knew just the rumor to make Davis cry like a baby and c
Chapter 41 KARL'S POV REPORTER EDDY...... " Reporter Eddy sir!!!" She said and all the smiles I had got off my face. " Why did he have to be at my office at this time?" I questioned myself mumbling as to why he would show up at my office after all he had done. He was the reporter who had spread the rumors about my divorce with Claire and thanks to Sophie's intervention the rumors were proven false and I could finally teach that reporter and company a lesson for preying into my life. I wasn't sure how he found that because when I called Claire and asked about it, she told me she wasn't aware either. Even though I didn't want to believe her, I was Claire would not jeopardize our agreement. " No one dares Karl Rutherford and goes unpunished." I muttered again and Max noticing my contenance asked me what it was about. " Guess who is at my office?" I asked him and he looked at weirdly unsure he could guess. I decided to save him the trouble and spill the beans. " Reporter Edd
Chapter 42REPORTER EDDY IS HURT....SOPHIE'S POV" I have to deal with this." I mumbled as I rushed out of the house, my heart pounded with anxiety. I didn't want anyone see me leave the house, so I called the Security around to help me check something at the backyard. As he went off to check it, I raced out of the house and hurried to meet Eddy.The ride I booked arrived and I got in hurrily trying to avoid anyone seeing me leave the house. I wanted to return back, just before anyone noticed my absence and before Karl returned.My mind buzzed wondering what to do about Eddy. His plan to reveal everything was going to annul the contract and I couldn't have that. At least not yet. I needed money for my daughter's future and Eddy was not going to ruin my plans.I had a perfect plan, hoping nothing goes wrong and that Eddy had not done anything stupid yet, I hurried the driver to take me to his address to meet him. I hoped that for both our sakes he had not gone off to Karl or was he a
Chapter 43THE RUMORSSELENE'S POVSitting in class, preoccupied on schoolwork, I could not seem to think about anything else. I need to keep up my good marks to guarantee that my scholarship was not taken away. Even though I now had Uncle Karl who was seemly very rich, I could just throw away everything. I decided I was going to continue to work hard regardless."This should be it, right?" I murmured to myself as I attempted to complete the maths; I could not seem to get them properly. I ultimately figured out how to do the calculations, and I smiled brightly, happy with my success. I was overjoyed with my accomplishment and raised my head, closing my book.I turned around and looked at Xavier at his desk. After we were successful in putting our plan into action, we went into class as the bell rang signifying recess was over. I opted to do some homework after that as it was a free period. I caught a glimpse of him staring at me and I winked at him. " Why was he staring though?" I tho
Chapter 44 THE PLOY... KARL'S POV As I stepped out of my office, Max followed suit. Ryan's flight had not yet landed, and he was expected to come back to update me on the meetings with the Sonnic and now I couldn't wait to hear from him as mu home was being robbed. I was furious about it all, but there was not much I could do. My safe contains information that no one should know about, and I neeyd to check to see if anything had happened to it. " I guess I would have to wait for that details later." I mumbled to myself as I came out the door. Just now when there was a piece of good news, Sophie had to ruin it with the talks about the robbery. Sir" my secretary called out as she stood up to walk towards me with an envelope in her hands. It seemed she wanted to talk to me about something important but I was in a haste to leave. " Reporter Eddy .........."She said but I didn't let her finish her statement as I continued to walk away. "I would hear all about that later alright.
Chapter 45THE BIG REVEAL ....SOPHIE'S POVAs the car came to a halt in front of Karl house and I couldn't but hope he wasn't in. I got off the cab and the driver drove off. I watched as the car drove away, leaving behind a trail of dust." What do I do now?" I thought to myself as I looked for a way to get into the house without being noticed. "I hope he is not in." I muttered quietly as I looked around before entering.Knowing I had to have a very good excuse for not being home when I claimed there had been a robbery, I had to make sure no one saw me go in, since I have not been able to come up with a perfect excuse for leaving. I sneaked back in hoping the security wouldn't see me and I rushed back into the house. " Karl" I called out, my heart was thumping so hard it seemed like it might burst out of my chest as I frantically looked around the house for Karl."Thank goodness!!" I remarked with a sigh of relief as I observed Karl had not arrived yet. The universe must have been
Chapter 46Is it........???DAVIS'S POVAs I went out of class, after confronting Selene I headed out to the restroom to clear my head. Everything that was going on was making my head hurt, and I felt ill. I stared at my reflection on the mirror, tears welled up my eyes. " What would I do?" I questioned myself. This rumor going on about the teacher had I was going to affect my reputation at the school in no small way and I couldn't afford that." How could it be that all of these lies were going on about me at school." I wondered, I was sure Selene had to have a hand in it. It had to be her because I had seen her plot with Xavier. They were close, but today they were unusually up to something and I wondered what it was until now." It's going to be fine." Jason who was my buddy at school said he had followed me when I left the class and he was here trying to reassure me everything was going to be fine." Another story would come out and all of this would be gone." He added and I turned
