Chapter 16 KARL'S POV I guess we have a deal. Still smiling mischievously, I took my stuff and walked out of the office, followed by Max. As we walked out, he asked what I wanted to do, and I turned to stare for a while, wondering if it was necessary to divulge my intentions. I decided it wasn't, and stepped away towards the door.He appeared to have picked up on the idea that I did not want to say anything just now and followed me as we went, giving me a cynical, suspicious expression. "It is time to put an end to this." I whispered once we exited the office. I was irritated by the recurring suspicions and speculations, so it felt like the best option was to put an end to it all as soon as possible. I was feeling uneasy because my firm was already losing money and earning a negative reputation and I needed to do something about it.I could not risk tarnishing the Rutherford reputation because of Claire. In my heart, I wished Sophie was still at the door, just to make things ea
Chapter 17KARL'S POVDNT FALL IN LOVE WITH ME..."She cleans up nicely."Who would have thought?" I murmured to myself as I watched Sophie address everyone. She talked with great daring and glamour. No one would have suspected she was not Claire. For a moment there, I really thought she was Claire and I wondered what she wanted to do with me after she left me for her lover, I soon realized she wasn't and felt a bit relieved. Upon my realization of who she was, I took a deep breath and watched as she comported herself with so much elegance.She sauntered up to where we were after entering the building and parking the car she had brought. The press approached her as soon as they spotted her and asked to speak with her.I had never been more astounded in my life. I looked at her, unable to conceal my emotions." How did she manage to appear so good?" I grumbled to myself as she approached us; security had made sure the press was out of the way so she could get to the where she could spe
Chapter 18SOPHIE'S POVMUMMY HAS A SURPRISE FOR YOU BABY. As we approached the car, still pretending to admire each other, I kissed Karl on the cheek, which he scowled at. I ignored him and entered the car. Karl groaned and showed his disapproval as soon as he got into the car." Do not ever act in that manner again." He mouthed as he motioned for the driver to head directly to Davis and Selene's school. He seemed annoyed with my actions and also surprised at how I could pull all of this off because I caught him staring at me in disbelief afterwards, I guess he was still unable to comprehend how I could do all of that." Desperate times need desperate measures." I muttered smiling as I caught a glimpse of him staring at me. I guess I could not believe myself too. I didn't think I would be able to do all of that but I guess I was just desperate. I was excited that I was able to pull of the deal and could barely hide my excitement which seemed to irritate Karl even more as he sigh
Chapter 19SELENE'S POVDID MUMMY GET A NEW JOB?I was so delighted after the surprise that morning as I wasn't really expecting a birthday present. The past couple of days had been hectic for both of us. From Mummy losing her job to us losing our home and everything I was not sure mummy would be able to afford a birthday present and to my amazement, she did and I could barely contain my joy.After the surprise, mummy got so engrossed in her phone and I was wondering if mummy has gotten another job probably as a Customer care service provider because her phone kept buzzing and been in and out the house for the most of the morning.I could not help but wonder and decided to ask her about it. " Mummy, did you get another job?" I questioned her as I walked to where she was. She had just ended one of the numerous phone calls she has been on for most of the morning." No baby, why are you asking?" She asked back peering into my eyes for answers." Well, you have been on the phone for most
Chapter 20SELENE'S POVDAVIS NOT TODAY PLEASE...." Where are we headed?" I asked again but this time I was talking to myself. I had a feeling it was somewhat important. Mummy was really dressed and she had gotten me a new dress too. I wondered if it was a party as I pondered in my thoughts." Is it a party?" I questioned myself and soon waved off the thoughts as I was sure we could afford it. Mummy had never been able to afford a party and I had grown to accept that, we only had parties between us both, no third parties included. It felt really lonely but that's was what mummy could afford. Sometimes kids from the neighborhood and my classmates mocked me for not being able to afford a party. " She is a charity case after all, if not for the scholarship how would she be able to afford a school as this." I heard some of them say sometimes and I felt really hurt but I knew mummy was doing her best to make me happy so I could not complain as she got gifts for every one of my birthdays
Chapter 21 KARL'S POV BE DRESSED LIKE MY EX " I hope I didn't make a mistake?" I questioned myself as I wonder if allowing Sophie have a party at the house was really the right thing to do. When she asked about wanting to have Sophie's birthday party at the house so we could introduce the kids as proposed siblings. I was reluctant and did not want to agree at first, but I wanted the best of Selene so I decided to allow it but not after she had promised not to ruin anything. " Every thing would be in one piece I assured you." She responded to me and u reluctantly agreed. It was today and I wasn't so sure that was a good idea any more. I wanted us to both make a proper introduction to both our children after the party so she could move in immediately but thinking about it now I hope I had not made the mistake of not informing my son of this development. " With kids everything becomes so complicated." I muttered as I worried about how both our kids were going to take the news. I
Chapter 22DAVIS POV.MUMMY IS WAITING....." I want to play this dad." I told my dad when we got into the park. I had seen some kids playing and I wanted to join in as it was my favorite game. My dad and I played that game together everytime we were out together and I wanted to play with my dad as I had missed it since it's been a while we have been out.I really miss playing with my dad but he always had an excuse everytime since mum supposedly traveled. I figured this was going to be an amazing opportunity for us to have our moments together and I was not going to let it off just like that.As we highlighted dad had received a call and went on to pick it. When he returned I requested that we played the game but he seemed to engrossed with his phone and I hope everything was fine.I tapped him the first time when I told him I wanted to play the game but he seemed to distracted to even hear me and when I didn't get any response I tapped even more to call his attention." Dad, I want
Chapter 23Sophie's POVMum!!!!!My phone beeped when we were just about to head to Karl's place which was the venue for the party, I was sure everything was done as I had called the decorators and they said they were done. I asked them to wait for me before they left even though I had been there earlier to see what they were doing, I wanted to sure everything was perfect before they left. I picked my phone to check and it was Karl messaging." What does he want now?"I I asked as I opened the message and read his message aloud but I could not seem to understand what it meant." Dress like his Ex?" What does that even mean?" I muttered to myself wondering what he meant as I barely knew the lady. For some weird reasons there was nothing about her on social media." How did he expect that I dress like her?" I questioned myself and figured he meant dressing sophicated.I had gotten a lovely dress a day before and I guess It looked good enough." But if he meant dressing sophicated, why did
