As Ellie watched Edward sleep peacefully, she couldn’t wish for a better life more than the one she was currently experiencing. She remembered what she had gone through with her ex and could only feel grateful for having met Edward. She kept on admiring his features as he slept and couldn’t help but to admit how handsome he looked even in his sleep.

She remembered how he had publicly declared his affection for her the night before, in the presence of everyone and couldn’t help but to giggle. She remembered Sophia’s facial expression as she had seen her at the club that night, although Edward wasn’t aware of her presence. Ellie somehow felt happy with Sophia witnessing the whole incident because that was just the beginning of her revenge, as she planned on causing so much pain for Sophia and her family, for hurting her mother.

In between her thought, Edward’s phone rang and the person that called was no other than Sophia. Ellie thought of picking the call to torture Sophia the more and

And on rare occasions that Edward went home, he never gave the chance for him and Sophia to have a conversation.On one of such rare occasions that Edward went home, he and Sophia had a hot argument. It was on a Friday night and when Sophia saw Edward come home, she had thought Edward would be spending the night and the weekend with her, only for him to pack some of his clothes and headed for the door, without deeming it fit to tell Sophia anything about his movement.‘Where are you heading to? I thought we would be spending the night together?’, Sophia asked, curious of where Edward was heading to, although she was already aware and just needed a confirmation.‘I have some files I need to review at the office. So, I will be spending the night there’, Edward said.‘So, why do you need so much clothes if you w

In order to prevent that, Sophia headed to her parents’ house the following day, to see her mother.Upon seeing the countenance of her daughter as soon as she entered her bedroom, Stephanie, Sophia’s mum, knew something was off.‘May I know what the problem is my princess? You are not even showing that you are happy to see me? Is there anything I need to know?’, Stephanie asked, trying to figure out what was going on in her daughter’s head.‘I called you the other day to ask for help Mum, but you told me you were busy, and you would get in touch with me when you are free, but you never did’, Sophia said, with her frustration evident.‘I am so sorry my princess. Your father has been giving me a lot of headaches nowadays. He has been trying to go back to his old ways’, Stephanie responded, sighing.‘What’s up with you and dad? I never knew you

    Before Sophia left her mother’s house that day, they had both agreed to run a check on Ellie, trying to figure out a part of her life, that could be used to threaten her. On Sophia’s way home that day, she saw Richard’s car drove pass her and in the car with him, was his pregnant lover. Since she caught Richard cheating on her that night, she had stopped picking Richard’s calls and had stopped him from seeing her. Richard, who cared less about her, didn’t read meaning to her actions, as he had thought she needed some time to herself. Not setting his eyes on Sophia didn’t matter to him, as long as, he had his true lover by his side. Seeing them together made Sophia get angrier. She turned her car around and trailed them, wanting to know their destination. After 40 minutes of driving, they finally got to their destination. It was a small building in the outskirts of the city. Pamela and Richard both got out of the car, holding each other’s hands and entering the building. Sophia laid lo

    ‘Excuse me, Miss. Who are you and how may I be of help to you?’, Pamela asked, pretending to be unaware of Sophia’s identity.‘I do not think there is the need for me to introduce myself again, since you are fully aware of who I am’, Sophia responded, smiling.‘I do not know who you are, and I do not have the whole time in the world, chatting with a stranger. So, if you will not introduce yourself and tell me why you are here, you can kindly get lost" Pamela said, keeping a strong face.‘My bad for not introducing myself. Since you claim you do not know me which I believe you do, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sophia Porous, the only child of the owners of Bloom Electronics. It’s nice meeting you’, Sophia said, stretching her hand forth, trying to shake Pamela.‘So, what business do we have together?’, Pamela asked, ignoring Sophia’s extended hand.‘Well, I believe you know why I am here.

    ‘Hello, Mum. I need Jack’, Sophia said, while on a call with her mum and at the same time, looking at Pamela’s lifeless body on the floor. ‘What trouble did you cause this time around?’, her mother, who was aware that, she always needed Jack, whenever she had a mess to clean up, asked. ‘Nothing much, Mum. I just uprooted an unwanted weed’, she responded smiling. ‘And who is that?’, her mother asked. ‘Richard’s slut whom I told you about’, Sophia responded. ‘Okay, will send him over now. Hope you didn’t leave any clue?’, her mother asked. ‘Not at all. Just only the CCTV, which I am sure Jack would take care of. Will send you the address now. Tell him to hurry up, as I will be waiting for him’, Sophia said, hanging up. Few minutes later, Sophia's phone rung and it was Richard on the line. ‘Hello, Sophia.

It’s funny, isn’t it?’, Sophia asked, looking in the direction of Richard, who was already becoming restless.‘You knew? When did you find out?’, Richard, who was surprised by Sophia's knowledge of his infidelity asked.‘Let’s say two weeks ago. The night we saw Edward and the lady together at the club to be precise’, Sophia, who was now holding a glass of wine, deriving the pleasure of goodness from each sip she took, responded.‘Why didn’t you confront me?’, Richard asked, with a shaky voice.‘I wanted to be sure’, Sophia responded.‘To be sure of what?’, Richard, who was now confused asked.‘To be sure whether you truly do not love me and that you are deceiving.

    In the small, starkly lit police station, Stephanie sat, facing her daughter who was handcuffed. She gazed at Sophia with a sorrowful expression as her face, lined with concern, guilt and helplessness. She blamed herself for her daughter’s condition and suffering. “How did it come to this?” she had thought as she reminisced on the decision she had made in the past. She felt she could have done better and if not for her greediness and over-ambition,she wouldn't be sitting where she was.

    After driving for hours with no destination in mind, Ellie finally made her way to Cheetahs. She sat at the bar with her swollen eyes, staring blankly at the vodka the bartender had served her. The club was lively and rowdy with music blaring from the speakers, almost deafening her. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, but she was the only one who wasn’t. She looked around the bar and everything had changed from what it used to be when she worked there. There were new faces around and all the old folks she worked with were nowhere to be found. She watched as everyone in the club except for her danced happily to the tune of the rhythm. She felt odd as she was the only being sitting in a corner, looking all sad and abandoned. Her gaze landed on a couple who were dancing gracefully and lovingly, and it was evident the duo was really into each other. The sight of them made her remember the first time she had an encounter with Edward. The wave of the beautiful moments they both share

    “And so? That’s the past and the past should remain as the past. You had your chance with her, but you missed it. So, stop being a crybaby and let bygones be bygones!!!!!” Richard, who had gotten over the shock of Edward’s outburst yelled. “What? Let bygones be bygones? Should that be coming from you? Have you forgotten what you did to me in the past? You whom I saw as my best friend and ally, slept with my wife countless times and got her pregnant. You both were even planning to pin your child on me, and you were aiming for my downfall. Don’t you feel bad for what you did to me? You were the only one I trusted the most. How could you have done that to me?!!!” Edward yelled, staggering towards Richard, with hurt in his voice. Although the betrayal he got from Richard happened six years earlier, he still felt the pain and the agony in his heart.

    Ellie, Daniel and Richard were all at Daniel’s mansion, celebrating their victory. After Sophia’s arrest at the hall, they had dismissed the guests and they all had headed to Daniel’s house to celebrate their accomplishment. They were seated in his gigantic living room, toasting to their success and just then, a male figure walked in. The figure staggered and was walking as if he would drop dead anytime soon. He looked dishevelled and his hair was rough. The more he walked closer to them, the more the smell of alcohol filled their noses, evidence that the figure had drowned himself in alcohol for quite some hours. The sight of him made them halt in their celebration and confusion was hitched on their faces. There were strains of dried tears of the figure’s cheeks which showed that he had been shedding tears. When the figure finally got to where they were seated, he halted in his steps and turned to face Daniel.“Edward, what’s wrong? Why are you like this?” Daniel asked, as concern la

    Sophia stood frozen in place, her eyes were wide and unblinking as she watched Ellie walked onto the stage. Her mouth was slightly opened in surprise as she was finding it hard to believe the scene before her. Her lips were parted, trying to utter some words but the words wouldn’t come out. Her eyebrows were high raised, and a slight of furrows formed on her forehead, amplifying the confusion and disbelief etched on her face. “What ..... are you ....... talking about? She is the CEO?” Sophia finally asked, facing Claire who was standing beside her, with her finger pointed in the direction of Ellie. “Yes, she is. She is the CEO and founder of Annie Fashion Group. Hope you like the surprised we planned for you?” Claire said, as her smile transformed in an instant, revealing something far deeper than the polite, practiced expression she had always worn. The edges of her lips curled up slowly, but there was no warmth in the gesture. Instead, it felt calculated, sharp, as if the smile
