Chapter 36SOPHIE'S POVLIES OR THE TRUTH....As Karl walked out the door with Selene and Davis after they had hurrily taken their breakfast, I set up to cleaning the house. The car drove out moments after they had left the house and I buried myself with the house hold chores. I wondered how Karl's was able to manage everything after his wife left without a help at the house. After the party yesterday there was barely enough time to do anything. The kids made a mess of the house even though most of the events were done outdoors. It was the price I had to pay for hosting a party for kids at a house.It paid eventually as Selene had a fun filled day. I guess it wasn't that bad after all." I am never having a party at a house again." I mouthed as I went about the chores. If I had the party at a park or something it would be their responsibility to clear the mess but with this I had to do all the work.As I cleared the mess, I wondered how Karl was able to sleep there at the living roo
Chapter 37SELENE'S POV...Rumours and gossipsWe arrived at school, and I noticed that everyone was staring. Davis had left me as soon as we got out of the car and gone with his pals.As I walked down the hallway to class, I could hear muttering about the birthday party."I knew this would happen." Muttering to myself I walked down determined not to let the talks bother me. I had known for sure it was going to be the talk of the entire school, because some of my mates were still around the house when the issues happened and with Davis involved in it, it was only a matter of time since his mouth ran like it had diahorrea.I tried to calm down, not letting my emotions get the better part of me as I headed to class."Mummy had done all of this for me, and I was not going to be ungrateful." I mumbled reassuring myself that what mum did and all that happened was for the best. Besides, we now had Uncle Karl and lived in a larger house with all of the amenities and we were not going to stru
Chapter 38KARL'S POVDEAL WITH SONNIC..."We got the deal Sir, headed back to you soon." I read the message outloud.It was Ryan messaging. I could hardly contain my excitement. I dropped my phone and stared out the window, reflecting on how far the company had come. After the drama of the night before, this was just the moment for some good news and Ryan message was just that. I grinned as we drove to my office, reflecting on how far the company had come in such a short amount of time. My company which was one of the fastest growing in town, had just hit another jackpot with the Sonnic enterprises in the Unites States.This was a significant accomplishment for my business, and I was thrilled about it.Being a CEO came with a lot of hurdles, but I have always been able to overcome them and perform better. I was thrilled that we had signed the deal with one of the biggest Companies in this United States that I have been wanting to do business with for the longest time.After sending R
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
