Chapter 70 HIRED FOR REVENGE... SOPHIE'S POV. " He is at the office right now, but you can tell me anything." I said to them, anxious about what they had found out about the case. I knew all of my tricks to stall them from knowing the truth was not going to hold for long, but I figured that before they found out, the contract between Karl and I would have been done and then, even if Karl found the truth it would not matter. " I am sorry ma'am, we have strict instructions to talk to him alone." One of the officers responded and I stared at him displeased by his comment." What did he mean that he had to talk to Karl alone?" I questioned myself still staring at them. I knew I had to convince them somehow and went on to talk to them so they could tell me what I wanted to know. " Well, I was there when it happened and I am his wife." I chuckled as I tried to make them see reasons and talk to me about who they had found. I needed to find out about this Ryan and his link to the case.
Chapter 71IS CLAIRE REALLY COMING HOME?SOPHIE'S POV"Congratulations, Sophie, phase one is complete." I muttered as I got ready for the day, I had woken up earlier than usual as I could barely hide my excitement for the job opportunity. Working side by side with Karl and Ryan was more than I could ask for. I could not be more happier.I was not too enthusiastic about the job, and Karl had said he was not going to pay me because he already paid so much for me to be his wife. I was relieved that I could make people who had wronged me years before pay; Karl had no idea what he was getting himself into by hiring me to work for him at his business. I had the perfect opportunity to carry out my intentions both for Ryan and Karl, and I could not afford to miss it."You know what time to resume, right? I would not want any latecomers." He remarked as he was leaving the house. As I watched him leave, my thoughts turned to the day he questioned me why I was so thrilled about a job I was not
Chapter 72ENOUGH WITH THE ACT..SOPHIE'S POVAs I was driving to work, I wondered to myself if what Davis had said were true or they were just the regular talks to upset me. Davis's remarks about Karl's ex-wife coming back upset me since it implied that my stay in his house would be short - lived. I knew it was a temporary contract but this meant I had to leave earlier than anticipated. "Was Claire truly coming back?" I wondered. I shook my head, not wanting to think that Karl would allow her return after hurting him so much when she asked for a divorce. He had said he did not want to have anything to do with her after what she did. " But what if, for the sake of his son, he changed his mind?" I pondered. I shook my head again not wanting to think about the implications of her return. " What is going to happen to my plans then?." I questioned myself. Claire's return was going to completely wreck everything for me and I was not sure I was ready to leave Karl just yet.The traffic l
Chapter 73WAS SHE A DUMMY TOO?CASSENDRA POV." He is still not picking up."I muttered after another failed attempt of reaching Karl. Since our make out at the office, it seemed that Karl had deliberately avoided me as he had refused to pick or respond to any of my calls. " Karl better not be playing with me." I grumbled as I stirred in my bed, unsure what to do about the issue.I was helplessly in love with Karl and now with this opportunity staring me right in the face, I could not possibly let another woman take him from me again." I guess, I better go see him at the office." I mumbled to myself as I thought about how to see Karl. I already missed him and wanted to see him so badly. I got off the bed to go see Karl and just then my phone beeped and I picked up the phone to check who it was." Jordan!!" I mumbled as I sighed and dropped the phone, Jordan repeated calls was annoyed me further, " How hard is it to understand that I do not want you." I yelled at my phone as I dropped
Chapter 74FAILED ACTRESS...KARL'S POV."I hope I am not making a mistake."I mumbled to myself as I headed out of the office, Sophie was expected to resume at the office today, but had not arrived as at the time I left the office for a meeting. Though it was not time for resumption, I expected her to arrive sooner because it was her first day. I sighed as I stared at her seat when leaving the office. "Maybe I should not have been so harsh and suspended my secretary; she arrived an hour early every day." As I walked away to my car, heading for a meeting, I shook my head, refusing to admit that I had overreacted. She definitely deserved it after acting so unprofessionally, and I figured that would teach her not to let outsiders into my office without my permission.When I got at the garage, the driver drove out, and when we arrived at the meeting location, I noticed my phone beeping and wondered who it was. I picked up the phone and realised it was Cassey."No, not now, Cassey." I g
Chapter 75THE MISTRESSSOPHIE'S POV" Ima gine the audacity, I wonder who she is," I mumbled as I watched with a mixture of disbelief and curiosity a s Karl took her into his office.She was so rude and audacious,the audacity she displayed was staggering, leaving me wondering who she really was. It took all my self-control not to react impulsively and give her a piece of my mind. Instead, I chose to remain composed and collected, even though I felt like hitting her. I determined to uncover the truth behind her boldness as Karl walked with her into his office.As the door closed behind Karl and the audacious woman, my mind raced with questions. Who was she? What business did she have with him? I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled deep within me. With a quick glance around, ensuring no one was watching, I discreetly made my way to Karl's office door. I pressed my ear against it, hoping to catch any snippets of their conversation that could unravel her true identity.
Chapter 76RECONCILIATION GONE WRONG..SELENE'S POV" How was I supposed to achieve this?" I questioned myself as I glanced at Jade several times in class, as she was so preoccupied with her schoolwork. I had offered to assist Davis with communicating with Jade, despite my uncertainty about my ability to do so.Jade seemed wonderful, but I was not sure how she would respond if I told her about Davis. Knowing that she was furious and did not want to talk to him, I questioned how I was supposed to accomplish anything, but I volunteered because I viewed it as a way to get Davis' assistance and could not bear to see it go by.Throughout the rest of the class, I could hardly concentrate on schoolwork; my mind was filled with what I would do to persuade Jade to consider talking to Davis."Oh, I guess I will talk to her tomorrow." I grumbled as the bell rang, signaling the end of school. I had not been able to fulfill my promise to Davis regarding Jade. I stuffed my notes into my bags, still
Chapter 77MY CHILD..RYAN'S POV"What happened?" I murmured as I stirred in bed, my head pounding with a headache. It was aching so much it felt like it was going to fall off my head. "Finally, you're awake," Tana said, walking into the room. "We need to talk about last night." She said as she walked to where I was. Confused and exhausted, I wondered what she was on about."What do you want, Tana? I'm so tired," I sighed as I turned to the other side of the bed. I tried so much to remember what had happened, but I had no idea. I guess the booze I had taken last night was pretty too much for one day as I had no memories of anything that had happened." I want an explanation about last night ?" She asked as she glared at me, obviously ready for a fight that morning. As she moved closer to the bed and sat down, I realized I had no idea what she was talking about, and I was not prepared to chat that morning, so I decided to completely avoid the conversation by not responding to anything
