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
Benjamin left immediately after Sonia left the room. Mr. Godfrey's men couldn't stop them as they were outumbered. He moved hastily to catch up with Sonia, but she didn't acknowledge his calls as she moved towards the van.He watched as she ‘stole’ one of their vans and drove off with it.He drove the other van as he gave her a chase. He was troubled as he didn't understand her behavior coupled with the fact that she was driving way above the speed limit.Benjamin relaxed when he caught a glimpse of the van parked in the knight home. He had lost chase of her and had driven to the knight's home to confirm if she was there.“She's home safely. Can we leave now and have some rest? It's past two. No sane human should be outside by now.” Desmond said and Benjamin totally ignored him as he got off the van.Desmond facepalmed himself as he turned to the guys. “You can leave. We will leave with the other van.” He said as he got off as well.Benjamin walked into the knight home and Desmond has
Benjamin stood up, and his legs felt heavier than ever. “I will get the doctor.” He said as he headed to the door.Sonia watched him and couldn't keep up with her facade any longer as she broke into a fleet of laughter.“Are you joking with me?” He asked as he rushed back to her.“You need to see how your face looks. I should have taken a picture or two.” She said amidst her laughter and Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief.“I see you're growing more mischievous. I almost had a panic attack.” He said as he sat beside her.“But you haven't, right? Now stop sucking like a child deprived of ice cream and tell me how you settled Godfrey.” She said,“I'm not sure if you did though, seeing that you came running after me.” She added with a sigh.Benjamin was reminded of how Sonia directed the gun at him, and he became moody instantly. “Why did you direct your gun towards me?” He asked and Sonia frowned deeply.“You messed up. I expected you to make it clear to him that we're not as close as he
Morning came sooner than Sonia expected, and she was already in school. It has taken more than thirty minutes of argument before Benjamin was convinced that she was fit enough.The attention she received was the same she had received on her first day in school after her rebirth.“Now we can walk through their questioning gaze together. It's not a nice experience being alone.” Vincent said as he appeared behind her.Sonia pounded on his words, and she couldn't agree less. Having someone beside you during thick and thin is the most underrated blessing. She could imagine what could have become of her if Benjamin hadn't shown up.Lectures weren't in full swing as they had given the students enough time to prepare for their forthcoming test.The lecture room was echoing like a marketplace and Sonia was distracted. “There are a lot of unserious students here. Let's head to the library.” She said to Vincent and they both packed their books.Funny how they used to be part of the unserious st
