"What do you mean?"

Sophia questioned, confused and devastated.

She didn't want to believe any word from the old woman.Aurora burst into laughter.

"Do you think I am lying? You don't want to believe it?" "Old woman, get out!"

Sophia said in anger and Aurora's eyes popped out of their socket in awe.

."What did you say?" Sophia scoffs, enjoying the outburst of her mother-in-law.

."This is my house, I have the right to do whatever I want to. I regret to say this but I forbid you from entering my house from now on,"

Sophia was about to walk away from the drama when her mother-in-law grabbed her by the arm, with Aurora’s right hand raised.

She is about to land them on Sofia’s cheeks but she; 's quick enough to see what’s coming. She held her handmaid-air and warned,

"Aurora, don't dare me." With that, she pushed her on the couch and beckoned on the guards."Guards!"

"Take this old woman away from here and don't ever let her in my house without my permission."

The guards escorted Aurora out of the house.

Sophia smirked before climbing the stairs. She went to their supposed room and fell flat on the master bed, she couldn't stop thinking about what the old woman said.

She went to their wardrobe searching for one of her nightwear when an unknown document fell on the floor.She picks it up from the floor and on the front, broadly written on the top is

 DIVORCE AGREEMENT.

Her eyes squatter through the documents, she slumps on the bed in shock.“What is this?” “So the old woman was right." She saw Marco's signature on the divorce paper.

At that moment she wanted her memories back, she wanted to know the reason she agreed to a contract marriage with Marco.

Her heart clenched, the pain threatening to consume her whole.

A lot of thoughts went through her mind, she was confused.After a while, she got up and kept the divorce paperback in its place.

Walking to the living room, she sat down there thinking about what she just discovered until sleep took over.

Marco walked into the living room and saw her sleeping. He dropped his suitcase and trailed in her direction, he squatted to her level, staring at her face.

Marco couldn't still believe that this woman right here was Sophia.

Losing her memories has turned her into an entirely different person.

Marco didn't realize when he moved his fingers to remove the strand of hair from her face. His eyes moved to her lips, he slowly leaned toward her, their faces were just an inch apart when Sophia's eyes snapped open.

She pushed him! "What do you think you're doing?" Marco stood up and picked up his suitcase, attempting to walk away ignoring her questions.

Sophia gripped him by hand furiously, "I just asked you a question." She furrowed her brows."Let go" his cold voice rang into her ears and Sophia scoffed."Do you think am your baby mama or what" Marco ruffles his hair in frustration. "Stop already, I am tired"

"How dare you, you jerk" Sophia screamed, her heart pounding violently in her chest.

Marco frowned. "You can go !" Sophia scoffed.

Marco stared at her once more before walking out of her sight.Sophia slumped on the sofa dramatically.

How dare he walk out of her?The next morning came like an unwanted visitor, just like always Marco had left already, she got up lazily from the bed.She was shocked to find herself in the bedroom because she remembered lying on the sofa last night. She walked slowly out of the room like a wilted flower.

After taking her breakfast, she sat down in the living room when her phone began to ring, it was an unknown number."Ma'am everything is done," a female voice said from the other Line.Sophia nodded before hanging up.

" Sir ...... " "Give me a minute," Marco said with his hand raised to signal his secretary off.

His eyes darted to the ringing phone on his table. "What ?" He answered the phone."What is it with your tone? Did your wife annoy you again?" Marco's friend Lucas questioned, laughing hard."Say what you need to say, I don't have time to chat with you" Marco retorted.

"Woah! Chill bro... " Lucas couldn't complete his sentence when Marco hung up.He placed his phone on the table and pressed the red button ordering his secretary to come in."What do you need to say?" Marco asked questions with no sentiment.

The creases on his forehead deepened as he didn't expect his secretary to answer."I think I saw your wife at Salvador airport," he muttered with fear of not knowing what was coming.

"What !?" Marco sprang up in anger."She has signed the divorce papers and she is fleeing out of the country right now." he gave more detail and Marco’s eyes darkened at the information.

"Stop all the flights from taking off at the airport," he ordered the secretary.

How dare she?Marco steps out of his office in anger going over to the airport. His secretary quickly blocked his path and Marco frowned."Sir, you got the contract! You got the WWT contract!" All the employees screamed.

The contract wasn't just an ordinary contract, it was a worldwide recognized contract.

Marco frowned deeply, ordering his secretary to get out of his way."Track her down now” Muttering those words he stormed out of the company, got into his car, and drove off.He had been driving for almost an hour when his cell phone began ringing.

He picked up the call upon seeing that it was his friend Lucas."Hey, man! A very big congratulations to you," Lucas said over the phone. Marco pursed for seconds before pushing his lips to mutter a "thanks"

"I’m jealous, you know I work so hard for the project," Lucas said and Marco scoffed, muttering"Good for you," "What about your wife? Have you seen her?" Marco pursues the mentioning of his wife."How about my wife? Is she missing or what?"

"I have been friends with you for almost ten years now and you still haven't changed, all cold as always. Never mind ever mind, let's celebrate...

" Marco hung up before he could finish.His cold eyes diverted to the low alleyway, and he decided to take the short pathway to get to the airport quickly.

He attempted calling Sofia’s phone but it was unreachable.He is worried.

He suddenly didn't want her out of his life, he just wanted to keep her by his side for unknown reasons.He increased the speed of his car and again his phone rang, he picked it up, his secretary was on the line.

The next words his secretary muttered deepened the creases on his forehead, and he put the car to a haunt immediately.

"What did you say!" Tears were streaming out of his eyes." Sir .... Sir ... Madam got into an accident and was found dead,” Marco slumped down."Where is she?" He started the car and started driving at speed.

The line isn’t connecting anyone and that took his eyes away from the lane. It was already too late when he saw the truck, his car crashed into it and there was a blackout.

The alleyway went dead silent. Marco's eyes were blurred and his heart raised rapidly.An unknown person came out of the truck, the person was putting on a hat.

Marco couldn't get a clear look on his face. But while checking the person out, his eyes caught something familiar.It was a wristwatch.

The wristwatch was produced by a company in France and it was just two of them.Marco had one and the second wristwatch was bought by someone close to him.

He couldn't believe his eyes, he was shocked to the bone."You both deserve to die," The unknown person walked away.Marco gasped, everything gradually turned black and he finally gave up.

*********

A young man who is muscular and bodily built sat in his office chair.

His sharp deep blue eyes were focused on the computer he was operating on. His nose is sharp, his lips are perfectly curved.

The man turned out to be Marco Blackwood. He was still focused on his computer when the door opened revealing his secretary, he didn't spare her a glance.

"Sir, this document needs your signature." Marco raised his head and his eyes met hers, she shivered and quickly bowed her head."What's your name again?"

"Sophia!" He smirked getting up, he took a strode with his long legs towards her and she moved backward.

They continue like that till her back hits the wall.

"It's you, I found you," His cold voice vibrated into her ears.
