Sonia drove at an alarming high speed and didn't bother to wait when the red light flashed. She knew the cops would have taken down her plate number, but it wasn't her concern as the vehicle wasn't hers. Laura will be the one dealing with the aftermath.“Shit!” She cursed as she hit her hands on the staring. “What was her haste for if she still got held up in traffic?” She thought as she redialed Vincent line.The line rang continuously before it redirected her to voicemail. Vincent had called earlier and had suddenly gone mute. Call her paranoid, but she had imagined different scenarios in her head. After he had left last night, she hadn't called or texted him. She knew how afraid he was even though he tried to mask it up.Her phone rang out, jotting her out of her thoughts. “Why the hell did you call and keep mute.” She screamed over the phone, and she could picture Vincent moving a few feet away from the phone due to her high-pitched voice.“And you know I don't have to go deaf bef
Mara took cautious and demure steps towards Vincent. She had noticed him when he shouted earlier, and she won't allow any chance of bonding with him to waste. Even though she was angry that he was seated with a lady, she was bent on asserting her dominance and let the lady know she wasn't her match.“Hi there,” She said as she waved her manicured fingernails at him.“Hi,” Vincent responded begrudgingly and Sonia looked up from her phone.“What? Why are you two here?” Mara asked with clear annoyance as she saw Sonia.“Same reason you're here.” She responded with a shrug and Mara chose to ignore her.“Can I sit?” She asked Vincent instead and Sonia took it upon herself to respond in Vincent's place.“No you can't Barbie. We are having a civil conversation here, and we don't need a third party, okay? Now run off like the dog you're.” Sonia said and Mara was offended by her words. She wasn't angry that she was being referred to as a dog, but the fact that she had compared her to a Barbie
America had been peaceful lately, and the citizens had forgotten how chaotic it can be when the mafias are at loggerhead with each other.Sonia stared at the dent on her car and shook her head in pity. It seems Laura was a bad omen, as the car had faced numerous disasters in just a day.“Go into cover. The bad guys are parading the streets.” An elderly woman said to Sonia as she kept walking without waiting to see whether she heard her or not.Sonia wasn't afraid of them. She had lived such a lifestyle in the past and even wanted to go watch the gunfight, but she was sensible to discard the thought as she couldn't protect herself with her fist in a gunfight.Returning to the coffee shop wasn't an option either, as she wasn't in the mood to entertain the sweet and innocent Maya or the overly dramatic Mara.Left with no other choice, she entered her car and was about to drive off when she saw someone she never expected to see making her halt.Right before her was scorpion, an assassin o
Sonia waited patiently for Benjamin to disclose whatever News he had about the cult, but instead he burst into laughter.“What's funny?” She asked. A scorn appeared on her face.“You should see how serious you look.” He said after his laughter died down. “You're not part of the cult again, so you shouldn't worry yourself about its affairs.” He added.“I was, and I still am. Until I have my pound of flesh from whoever osculated my death, I won't give up on its affairs.” She said with unwavering determination.Benjamin noticed Sonia's choice of words but decided to play dumb. Since she wanted him to believe she wasn't Anna he was ready to play along as well.“I will let you know when there's any development. For now, focus on improving your academic performance and stop being at the bottom.” He said and Sonia felt attacked. She decided to shut them up with her upcoming performance and stop explaining without any evidence to tender.“Watch and see. I will top my department.” She said con
Sonia tossed and turned in bed all night. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that someone had been impersonating her.“Did the cult not know that she was dead?” She said out loud before discarding it. It wasn't possible, as Benjamin informed her that a funeral was held for her as her body wasn't found, and they concluded she had burned to ashes.“Gosh! This is frustrating.” She shouted out loud as she kicked her legs in the air, covering herself with the blanket.Her alarm rang out at the moment adding to her frustrations. “Shut the fuck up, bitch! I was up before you.” She said as she threw the alarm clock at the door, shattering it.Sonia remained in bed, as she didn't want to get up. Different questions she couldn't provide answers to ran through her head, and it made her head ache greatly.She thought of going to the location of her scheduled mission so as to know who was impersonating her, but it was impossible as the mission would have been executed before she got to Aus
Sonia took in deep breaths as she thought of the perfect way to have him back down. She wasn't afraid of him, but didn't want to spar with him either. She knew he would continue to disturb her until he wins, and she would rather not add another headache to her list of worries.“Sparring with a lady? I see you have no shame left. How does sparing with your gender sound?” He asked and Sonia had never been grateful to hear that voice.She wasn't surprised he knew where she was not after having one of his men follow her about like a tail.“I only wanted to learn from her after seeing her exceptional taekwondo skills.” He said as he bowed slightly at him.“Get on the mat then. You will learn more from me.” He said and scorpion didn't refuse.Scorpion stretched his muscles as he rushed towards Benjamin. He knew he couldn't defeat him, but he wasn't one to go down without a fight.Benjamin watched him approach and gave him a punch on his face which sent him flying.Scorpion remained on the g
The week runs out in the twinkling of an eye, and it was Monday morning again. One of the days that Sonia hated, but not anymore. She was reborn and so was her personality.She had woken up earlier than usual as she wanted to eat breakfast before leaving. She had been skipping meals lately and wanted to work on her eating disorder.“What are you preparing?” She asked the maid.“Omelette and…”“Prepare avocado toast and poached eggs for me.” She said, not liking the sound of omelet for breakfast.Sonia returned to her room as she did a few press-ups before preparing for school.She grabbed her backpack as she descended the stairs going straight to the dining. She opened the covered dishes and didn't find her toast.“Why didn't you dish out my breakfast?” She asked the maid as she stood hands akimbo by the kitchen door.“I told her not to. Why would you control my domestic staff?” Benita asked as she appeared behind her.Sonia ignored her as she asked the fidgeting maid. “You didn't?” S
“Gosh my back ache.” Vincent said as he yawned while stretching his body.“You're too lousy. Don't disturb others.” Sonia whisper-yelled as she nudged him on the side.“They have been disturbing us since, so they should consider it as a payback.” He responded unbothered.He wondered how Sonia managed to focus amidst the chaos that was ongoing. He had suggested they come to the library. Not because he was interested in studying, though, but because he was concerned about her. That was how much he was ready to sacrifice for her.Their little discussion in the hall escalated and thousands of people in the school knew that Sonia was aiming for the top position and the bullies among them have been flooding her since trying to ridicule her.“Are they the ones who disturbed you? Why must they suffer for the sin of others?” Sonia asked as she flicked his forehead. “Focus on the work at hand and stop the unnecessary transfer of aggression.” She added as she pushed a book towards him.Vincent l
