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
Sonia returned to the library and Vincent noticed how restless she was. He chose not to ask her anything so as not to put her in a tight spot.“On a scale of one to ten, how trustworthy would you rate Laura?” She asked, and the question came as a shock to Vincent who wasn't expecting that.She didn't trust Laura one bit, but didn't want to act rational either. She had promised the previous occupant to avenge her death and also settle the loopholes in her life, and she didn't want to go back on her words.Finding the previous occupant mother would be a win for both of them, as she herself was still on the outlook for her parents. Her memories of her parents disappeared from her memory immediately when she arrived at the cult and was left with flashes which she occasionally had before her rebirth.“Should I be sincere with you?” Vincent asked instead and Sonia nodded. Why would she bother asking if she wasn't expecting his honest opinion?“I don't trust her one bit. She's manipulative,
Benjamin stood outside of Oscar groups. Not only were the cops present, but there were numerous reporters lingering around the company.“What is the complaint about?” Sonia asked through the communication device. She had suggested he meet with the cops first, as she smelled foul play.“Crimini legati alla droga. È stato affermato che il gruppo Oscar è una copertura per commettere i crimini.” (Drug related crime. It was stated that the Oscar group is a cover-up to carry out the crimes.) He said in his Italian accent and Sonia, who was in the security control room, quickly searched the security footage, and it didn't take long for her to discover that the security camera in the storage room had been tampered with.“Head to the storage room. Gather all implicating items there.” She said to the men, subconsciously taking over her bossy mode.Sonia and the men searched the storage room and soon enough they discovered wraps of powdered drugs.“The cops are on their way in.” Benjamin said as
Benjamin knew one or some of his men had switched alliances. That he was certain about. He knew he had to be careful and walk around on eggshells until the mole was discovered.Five of his men were in the office with him as he stared keenly at them. “Godfrey had Sonia under his captivity, and he's doing that to make me return to Australia and the cult. What did you guys think I should do?” He asked as he watched the men keenly for any strange reaction.“We will act on whatever you decide on.” One of them said, and the others nodded in agreement.“I can't seem to reach a decision, that's why I'm open to know what you will do if you find yourself in my shoes.” He responded, and the office was silent. Each man lost in his thoughts.“You can leave. I will let you know our next move.” He said, and the men walked out of his office.“Wait behind Desmond.” He called behind them and Desmond walked back to him. He couldn't disclose his plans to all of them, not when a mole was among them.Desmo
