Have you ever long for something so greatly that you finally became repealed after having it? That was the case for Sonia as she stared at her fat bank account. She was seated under the shade in the school garden, away from the students' displeased grumbles.The money she greatly fantasized over has been transferred to her, but she was not as happy as she was supposed to be. There's an eighty percent chance that she might meet with her ex-boss whose men she killed recently.“We have to voice out our displeasure. This result has been rigged. We can't allow a retard to represent our school.” Sonia heard someone whispering and sighed deeply.The same reason she chose to isolate herself was to escape the questioning glances of her classmates and also come up with a perfect solution to avoid going on the trip.“I know I will find you here. Shouldn't we be celebrating our achievement?” Vincent asked as he sat beside her. The smile and joy in his face couldn't be conceded as he was genuinel
Sonia woke up with a throbbing migraine as she rolled on the bed. The brightly lit room was proof that she had woken up late.She saw a plate of meal and a medicine bag on the table a few away from her and knew Benjamin had kept it there.She remained on the bed for a couple of minutes before eventually dragging her weak body to the bathroom as she socked herself in the bathtub.Few minutes later, she was out feeling refreshed and much better as she dried her hair before consuming the meal hungrily and took the medicine to help with her migraine.She descended the stairs with the empty dish, and she sighed in relief seeing that the messed up living room was sparkling clean with no trace of last night's mess left.After washing the dishes, she sat on the couch as she retrieved her phone from her bag. It was past two in the afternoon, and she had woken up later than she imagined.She put a call across to Benjamin as she realized he had called her.“You're returning my call after calling
“I wish you a smooth journey to hell.” Those were the last words Anna heard before multiple bullets were released on her as she lost consciousness.Opening her eyes in an extremely white space, she looked ahead at the unending space before her eyes darted to another soul which was present in the space.“Are we in heaven?” she asked her companion who squatted on the floor looking at her with uncertainty.“You're in my body now,” Came the first word from the soul which appeared to be fading.“How?” Anna asked in surprise and confusion. “Wasn't she supposed to be in heaven or probably hell. She had killed a lot of souls and knew it would be absurd putting her and heaven in the same sentence. How come she was in someone else's body?" she thought.“I don't know either, but you have to promise to avenge my death and live on in place of me.” she said as her soul was almost vanishing.“I promise, I will.” Anna said to the other party. She would have a chance to help her and also investigate
“How would you like to pay, miss?” The beautician asked Sonia who was staring at the mirror as if it were her victim.She turned away from the mirror and brought out the wallet she had picked up when she was cleaning and handed some stacks of dollars to her.“Your makeover cost five hundred dollars, and this is not up to a hundred dollars.” she said as she displayed the notes for her to see.Sonia opened the wallet again, and an empty wallet was what greeted her. “Gosh! This body wasn't only bullied, but also poor.” she thought as she brought out the badly damaged phone and logged into her banking app. She was among the best assassins in the cult and was paid for each successful mission so she had more than enough money.After leaving the spa, she walked aimlessly along the road as she reminisced on her past and the future she has to face. She had to help the previous occupant with her revenge, and she also had her own matters to tend to.She had walked for a long time and the sun had
Sonia woke up as early as five dressed in a tank top and pants as she descended the stairs. The distance from her house to the gym was quite far, and she was going to jog there.Arriving at the gym, she chose the treadmill machine as she increased the speed at intervals. Her current body is limiting her ability, and she needs to be in shape to achieve her aim.Annoyed with her limited ability, she angrily increased the speed and was sent flying from the treadmill.Sonia closed her eyes anticipating the pain, but none was forthcoming as she slowly opened her eyes.“I am your knight in shining armor.” Vincent said as he grinned sheepishly, releasing his hold on her.“I went to the hospital and was told you had been discharged, and you didn't deem it fit to inform me.” he said with feign annoyance.Sonia glanced at him before she sat on the chair as she picked a hand lifter, continuing her exercise. “What was your performance in the last exam?” Vincent gave a lopsided grin when he heard
Sonia didn't expect that her hand would be intercepted before it got to her victim. None of her punches had been intercepted before, which she blamed on her current strength.She admires the driver's strength. With one hand on the wheel, the other hand was used to wade off her attacks. She concluded that she would be no match for him if he decided to face her head on.The taxi came to a halt and Sonia was half dragged from the vehicle.“Why have you brought me here?” she asked the driver, glaring at him. She could see he had no killing intense but didn't let down her guard regardless.Benjamin stood intimidating across Sonia as his eyes scanned her. “Who are you?” he questioned back.Sonia stood rooted to the ground as she heard the familiar voice. She had grown addicted to the voice, for her not to recognize it amidst the disguise.“Ben?” she called out before she could stop herself.Benjamin pulled off the face mask he wore when he heard her call his name. She was able to recognize
Sonia returned home after cooking for her grandfather. She almost gave herself out, but was glad she quickly covered it up.Entering the living room, the first sight that greeted her was a raging Mathew who was pacing the room like a hungry wolf waiting to devour its prey.“Why did you disgrace your sister at the company today? You have issues with me, why must you take out your anger on her?” he asked in annoyance.“Please don't scold her. I only told you what happened because you insisted.” Laura said as the peacemaker she was.Sonia scoffed when she heard her. Only a fool like Mathew would fall for her pretense.“You have sacrificed a lot for her, but what did she choose to repay you with? Imagine the insult on everyone. You're not to blame but your mother who didn't wait to install some manners in you before she disap___”Mathew's words were cut short as Sonia kicked him in his groin sending him flying as he hit the painting hung on the wall.“Mathew!” Laura called as she quickly
Benjamin entered the bar and sat a few seats away from Sonia. Watching her alone lessened the burden in his heart as he tried to pinpoint the difference between his fiancée and the lady before him. As if feeling the stare directed at her, Sonia turned towards his direction and was met with the back view of the waitress who was currently taking his order.Her attention was shifted back to the dancing floor as a familiar tune played out from the loudspeaker. It was her only song before her rebirth. It portrayed her loneliness, wants and most, especially her yearn for freedom.A tear subconsciously slid down her cheeks as she quickly cleaned it up. Funny how she got the freedom she wanted, but not in the way she could ever think of.Her mind drifted off to Benjamin. She never wanted to release the song, but Benjamin persuaded her to which she was grateful for. She would have probably been regretting it if she didn't have anything to show that she once lived as Anna.“Another bottle of A

“Now let's finish our unfinished discussion.” Desmond said as he relaxed on the bed. He had pretended to pass out earlier, and it took all the self-control in Sonia not to hit him again. He had made her freak out!“And what's that?” She asked, deciding to play dumb.“Feigning ignorance won't walk on me dear. What is your relationship with Benjamin?” He asked.“How about you tell me how much you know about Anna?” She questioned back.“Don't answer my questions with questions. I asked you first, and I demand an answer.” He said, his voice a little loud.“Okay. An answer it is then. How about I refresh your memory on how you sent Anna a threat letter during one of Benjamin's visits telling her she couldn't have Benjamin to herself as he was yours?” She shrugged.Desmond turned red from embarrassment as he was reminded of one of his embarrassing moments. He was insecure as a kid as the Godfrey siblings were the only family he had growing up and was jealous when Benjamin informed him about
Sonia pocketed her hands as she stared at the school building. Today was the day she would rewrite her story of being a retard and she was determined to make it right.Desmond was still unconscious, and she felt bad and at the same time grateful to him. She might be the one laying still in the hospital and end up missing the test, her money, and a chance to prove herself.“Do you intend to stare at the building as if it's your first time being here?” Vincent asked as he hit Sonia from behind.Sonia staggered a little and Vincent was quick to realize something was wrong.“Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern as he checked out her body for any visible injury.Sonia didn't inform him of her accident and she wasn't with her crutches either.“A little dislocated knee. I will be alright regardless.” She said dismissively.“Oh, okay.” Vincent responded, not probing further. “Let's head in then.” He added.“Not yet. An adage says that you don't know the value of what you have
“Illegal possession of arms, murdering of two people…”“You're wrong.” Sonia cut her short. “I have actually murdered more people than I could account for. That's what I do for a living, and I can also put an end to your miserable life now without anyone interfering.” She said as she shifted her seat closer to her.“I know you too well dear sister, and I know how despicable you can get. That's why I didn't come alone.” She said, a smirk forming on her face.“Are you referring to your puppet boyfriend? Don't worry, he's occupied at the moment and won't make it in time to see me add you to the list of my murderers.” She said and fear gripped Laura as she couldn't find Mathew on the table he was supposed to be.“You can't do anything still, we're in a public space. Moreover, this video is not only with me. Try anything funny and you'll rot in jail.” Laura seethe trying to mask her fears behind her indifference, but Sonia could see through it.Sonia opened her bag and brought out the pist
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
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
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.
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
