‘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 of 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.‘My bad for not introducing myself. Since you claim you do not know me which I believe you do, I will 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 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. Don’t you? Anyways, congratulations on your pregnancy’, Sophia said, looking at Pamela’s belly. Hearing this statement, Pamela was b
‘Hello, Mum. I need Jack’, Sophia said while on a call with her mum and looking at Pamela’s lifeless body on the floor.‘What trouble did you cause this time around?’, her mother fully aware that she always needed Jack whenever she has 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 phone rung and it was Richard on the line.‘Hello, Sophia. I am at your house and your maid just informed me you are not around. Where are you?’, Richard asked.‘Sorry, darling. I quickly stepped out. I had a business I needed to attend to. An unwanted weed has been disturb
‘You know, when I found out you were cheating on me, I felt deeply hurt but what hurt me the most was seeing you happy that another woman was carrying your child. When I informed you about my pregnancy, you were not happy about it and even advised me to get an abortion. It’s funny, isn’t it?’, Sophia asked, looking at the direction of Richard who was already becoming restless.‘You knew? When did you find out?’, Richard who was surprised of Sophia 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 a 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. You see, that night, I kept on denying that it’s true although
Walking with no strength in him and as if he was about to fall, the only thing Richard could think of was the death of Pamela and his unborn child. He blamed himself severally for being the cause of her death.‘I should have protected her at all cost. I shouldn’t have left her side earlier today. I killed her. My greed killed her’, he kept on telling himself while crying like a child who had just lost his mother.He couldn’t bring himself to drive to Pamela’s house as he was filled with guilt and his conscience kept on pricking him for being the cause of her death. With no where else to go, he decided to call his mother.‘Hello, Richard. Why are you calling me so late in the night? Thought we agreed you won’t call me whenever I am at home?’, his mother asked, keeping her voice very low, which showed she wasn’t comfortable speaking at where she was.‘Richard, are you still with me? Are you sure you are fine?’, his mum asked when she noticed Richard was silent on the other end.‘Mum, I
‘Why did you kill her? Is Dad aware that you orchestrated the accident which led to her death?’ Richard asked, still shocked by his mother’s revelation.‘No, he isn’t aware. As for why I killed her, Daniel caused it all. Few months before Catherine died, Daniel found out I was cheating on him with his brother, Liam. After finding out about my infidelity, he changed towards me and then one day, he asked for us to break up. He told me he was done with our relationship. He said he wanted to focus on Catherine and their son, Edward, and give love a chance between them. I felt hurt by his words and tried to convince him to go back on his words, but he wouldn’t budge. I loathe losing and I couldn’t condone Catherine having Daniel to herself. So, I devised a plan to make Daniel have a change of heart. Guess what I did?’ Allison (Molie) said, facing her son Richard, showing she was happy with the decision she took 18 years ago.‘Just like every other woman would have done, I devised a plan. I
Upon entering Ellie’s house, Edward had met her in the kitchen, cooking. Her back was turned on him and watching her as she cooked, he couldn’t help but to be reminded of his mother, Catherine. As a child, Edward was a picky eater, and he wouldn’t allow anyone cook for him apart from his mother. Ellie moved the same way his mother used to move back then whenever she was cooking, and Ellie was focused just the way his mother used to be focused whenever she was making a meal. Setting his eyes on Ellie and watching her from behind made him felt relieved of the sorrow that had filled his heart upon the discovery that his mother’s death was not an accident. There was a peace he always felt whenever he was with Ellie. ‘What are you cooking, Beauty?’, Edward asked, hugging Ellie from behind. ‘When did you come in? Did you sneak up on me?’, Ellie, who was surprised by Edward sudden presence asked. ‘I came in a few minutes ago. How was your day?’, Edward asked, wrapping his arms around
Earlier that day, Ellie had called Sophia after having gotten her number from Edward’s phone.‘Hello, Sophia. It’s been a long time’, Ellie had said after Sophia picked her call.‘Excuse me, who am I speaking with?’, Sophia who was unaware of the identity of the individual she was on the line with asked, confused.‘Have you forgotten me so soon? Have you finally given up on Edward? Seems like you have already accepted the fact that he chose me over you’, Ellie said, smiling.‘Oh, it’s you. It’s nice hearing your voice once again. I have been meaning to get in touch with you. Do you mind me having a short conversation with you this evening? I will come over to the club if you do not mind’, Sophia said in a rather calm voice.‘The club? Seems you are not aware I do not work there anymore. I now work in a Fashion company as the Personal Assistant to the Vice-President of the company. At least, I have to try and meet up to Edward’s standard’, Ellie said, smiling over the phone.‘You work
Closing the door quietly, Sophia moved toward the stairs with shaky legs. Her eyes filled with tears and frustration. Ellie’s mocking smile kept on replaying in her mind. She was heartbroken and pained. She felt heartbroken and pained not because she was in love with Edward but she just couldn’t stand seeing Ellie and Edward together. She wanted Edward all to herself. She couldn’t stand seeing another woman near the men she wanted.‘Why must it be her? Why?’, Sophia yelled in frustration as she walked down the stairs.‘I won’t allow this to happen. If he can’t be mine, he will never be hers. Who does she think she is? She is just a nobody!!!!!!!!!!’, Sophia yelled, venting her anger on her hand bag which she threw away.‘I swear with my life, I am going to kill her. Where the hell is Jack?’, she shouted in anger, bringing out her phone from her handbag which she had picked from the floor to call Jack.‘Where the hell are you?’, Sophia who was frustrated yelled at Jack over the phone.
