Chapter 11KARL'S POVTHE MARRIAGE IS CANCELLED!!! " How on earth could she address me in that manner?"I questioned myself, irritated about the way I was treated as we drove back to the office with Dave. Claire, my ex-wife, had fired the nanny just before the divorce, and I could not trust anyone with my kid just yet. I took it upon myself to pick up and drop off Dave at school, making sure we had something to eat before we left, and made sure hehad enough money for lunch. I happened to meet Selene on my way to pick up Dave, and I thought it would be a good idea for the three of us to go grab ice cream." Dad, why was Selene mum yelling at you?" Davis questioned as he turned to face me. I was not in the mood, so I ended the conversation before it began."Davis, this is grownup business. Do not worry about it." I answered as I was not in the mood for Davis questioning." Sophie has to be dealt with." I murmured, and my driver turned to face me and inquired whether I was referring t
Chapter 12SOPHIE'S POVWHAT WOULD YOU HAVE MRS RUTHERFORD DO? " What's happening mum?" Selene inquired as she observed me struggling with the door and i looked away from the door for a second." It's nothing baby, I guess the key is stucked." I answered as I attempted to open the door again. Miss Lois laughed and her cunny chuckle stole my focus from the door."No home, no spouse, how bad can it get ahh?." She said as she pretended to be sad, as if she felt terrible for me, and after a moment, she burst out laughing.Though hurt, I made an effort to keep my feelings in check. "Well, my dear, I presume the landlord changed the locks; that is unfortunate." She added and it dawned on me instantly why the locks looked different."Oh," I exclaimed as I realised what had occurred. I groaned and carefully exited the door, heading to one end of the porch to collect my thoughts. I could not think of the best approach to handle the situation and now was the worst time for it. I sat on the p
Chapter 13SHE IS RELENTLESSKARL'S POV" Can you imagine?" I mumbled aloud, wondering what Sophie thought of herself when she visited my office. She had embarrassed me at my son's school and I was determined to not let it go, at least not without punishing her for it. But because of her behaviour at the office today, I was quite enraged and certain that I would never interact with her again. Since Sophie had a great likeness to my son's mother, I picked her as his nanny mostly because I did not want him to become overly aware of his mother's absence. Even though I had offered to marry her for reasons I could not explain, all I wanted was for her to be my son's babysitter and play the part of my wife when absolutely required.She did not appeal to me at all, and the fact that she looked like my wife just made me detest her more." Sophie exaggerates her own significance." I muttered as I grabbed my files as I was ready to leave the workplace. " She must be quite dumb to believe she
Chapter 14.SOPHIE'S POVDo what you have tooAfter Karl kicked me out of the office, I walked away, apprehensive about what to do next. I did not have a house and I had wasted a lot of money to carry off these antics with Karl, but he had just put me out like a piece of garbage. " Who did he think he was?" I growled in frustration as I boarded a cab back to the mall. I did not have enough money for a motel, so I was at a loss as to what to do about my kid.My mind worried about as her as I headed back to the mall. I hoped she has something to eat as I had given my collegue some money to make sure of that.my life was a mess and my last options had just thrown me out of his office." What am I supposed to do now?" I whispered as the car came to a halt. The mall was about to close when I got there, and I had no idea where we were going to stay the night. As I got off and paid the driver, on my way back to the mall, an idea occurred to me. I really hoped it worked out. My colleague
Chapter 15KARL'S POV "Sophie is unbelievable.". I grumbled as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the office and saw Sophie. I did not believe she would be right by my office after what had happened. She was simply dressed and on engrossed on the phone call she was making.I averted my gaze as as soon as she noticed me staring. I fake focusing on my phone while I stared at her with my side eye.I hoped she did not cause a scene at the entrance because of her similarities to Claire. She was simply dressed so the similarities would be mildly noticed. I ignored her as I gave instructions for her to be sent away from the premises and headed to my office, I had a lot of files to attend too and I was not going to let Sophie issue bother me. I was contemplating calling her but had decided as I did not want to have anything to do with her just yet. I had determined to make her come begging for the offer and was going to come up with an excuse for the reasons why I did not bring my wife wi
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
