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
Sonia was aware that someone was behind her. Someone with a familiar cologne. As she turned and beheld the fake Benjamin, she pretended to be startled and the computerized voice didn't pass her notice. So much for being an ex assassin.“You scared me. You should have let me know you were behind me.” She said as she watched his reaction.“So have you caught the mole? I always have a bad feeling about him stalking me, but my instincts turned out to be true after all.” She asked again, and this time she noticed how his veins popped out.“Great! His identity didn't take long to be revealed. At least when trying to impersonate someone, you should at least try to act like them.” She thought as she flipped her hair backwards stylishly pressing the bottom on her watch.“We have settled him, and pry more information from him.” He responded and Sonia nodded. Last night when she had informed Benjamin about seeing one of his men with scorpion, he had discarded her immediately and also advised he
Mr. Knight paced the living room as he loosened his tie. Benita, who was seated on the couch, watched his movements with a frown on her face.“Can you please get a grip of yourself and tell me what's wrong instead of parading the room?” She asked in a not so loud voice as she still feels pains in her throat.Mr. Knight sat on the seat opposite her as his hands yanked his hair in frustration.“Can you believe Sonia ordered the accountant not to approve any private funds? This girl is getting on my nerves each passing day. She needs to be tamed!” He said enraged as he hit his fist on the center table.“When did she have the final say to the company? Aren't you the acting CEO? What right did she have to order your employees around?” Benita bombarded him with a series of questions and Mr. Knight signed in frustration.“It's that old crook’s fault. He never wanted me to head the company, and he's stylishly transferring all decision-making to that incompetent bastard. Gosh! This is frustrat
Sonia stood in front of the mirror with her hands pocketed. It's been a week since she lost trail of her father and stepmother. She had asked Benjamin to have one of his men monitor their activities.A week of living with Benjamin and her supposed father didn't make any attempt to seek her out or persuade her to return home.“I hope my father won't be anything close to him.” She said with a sigh. She would regret spending years of her life searching for her parents if she ended up having someone like Mr. Knight as a father. It will be too disheartening.“Pom, pom.” A knock sounded on her door.“Yes, come in.” She said as she walked towards the bed.Benjamin walked into the room with a food tray in his hands.“Breakfast in bed?” Sonia asked with a taunting smile on. “I need to be asleep then.” She added as she wrapped the duvet over herself.“If you want it that way.” He said as he dropped the tray on the bedside table. He moved towards her and trickled her continuously.Sonia laughed
Benjamin packed his vehicle in the parking lot as he took his designated elevator to his office. Linda was already on the seat and was typing away on her system. One of the perks why Benjamin still keeps her. Other than her continuous flirting, she was best in her field.“Good morning sir, the meeting is starting in thirty minutes time, and the…”“I'm aware, Linda, and I'm fully prepared. Focus on getting the materials needed to the boardroom.” He said as he entered his office.Benjamin settled behind his desk as he cross-checks and applied a final touch to the documents on his system before forwarding it to Linda.Twenty-five minutes later, he was heading to the boardroom with Linda trailing behind him with the printed documents in her hands.Everyone was gathered in the boardroom and Benjamin positioned the microphone before him.“I welcome all distinguished men and women to Oscar groups. It's an honor to have you here. I'm Benjamin Godfrey, the CEO of Oscar groups. He said and eve
Vincent lingered around the school gate as he dialed Sonia's line continuously. Their first test would officially begin in an hour, and she wasn't in school nor responding to her calls which was unlikely for her.“Losers know when to stop. I bet she's still reasonable after all. Being present or not doesn't change anything, but at least she's reasonable enough not to push her luck.” Vivian said as she chuckled dryly.“She shouldn't cower away. Maya wouldn't believe that she isn't a good role model if I don't show her Sonia's name at the bottom where it's supposed to be. Please persuade her to come, so my sister can be free from whatever she had hypnotized her with.” Mara added as they walked away.Vincent returned to the class as he patiently waited for Sonia's arrival. For the first time in ages, he was looking forward to the test and wasn't nonchalant like he usually was.“All students are expected in the hall.” A lecturer announced with a megaphone as he walked around the classes.
Sonia opened her eyes and the white ceiling was what stared back at her. At this rate, hospitals might be considering having a special room for her with the frequency she visited. She tried to stand up, but the pain that shook across her brain made her abolish the idea for a moment before remembering she was supposed to be in school. She ignored the pain as she cursed at Desmond in her heart. She finally stood up from the bed with great difficulty as she took baby steps to the door. “And where are you going?” Benjamin who just entered asked as he helped her back to the bed. “I'm better as you can see. I need to leave. My money is at stake if I don't participate in this test.” She said as she tried to stand up. “I see.” Benjamin said as he intentionally held her tightly on her wrist which earned a loud scream from Sonia. “Why did you do that?” She half yelled as she massaged her reddened wrist. “What?” Benjamin asked innocently and Sonia scoffed. “I have the school postpone the
It's been three days since the assassination attempt on Sonia, and they were unable to capture the lady.Benjamin had transferred Desmond to another hospital, and he placed more guards beside him. Sonia, on the other hand, had insisted on being discharged.Sonia walked around with crutches as she exercised her legs. She sat on a chair in the garden as she stared into space. She had learned not to be reckless and value her life after the failed attempt to end her life. She knew how dangerous and deadly lethal was and doubted she would be given another chance if the assassin had successfully carried out her mission.However, she was conflicted on who wanted her dead and as long as she tried to discard it, her only suspect was her father, but she doubted he would go so low.“A penny for your thoughts?” Benjamin asked as he appeared behind her.“Did you get any information about her?” She asked instead as Benjamin sat beside her.“She's so discreet, and we haven't been able to track her e
