As the days went by, the love Edward and Ellie had for each other kept on growing, putting Sophia in a dilemma. Edward spent most of his times in Ellie’s house, barely going home. 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
After her argument with Edward that night, Sophia realized she might finally lose Edward to Ellie, due to Edward’s change in attitude towards her. 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. Don’t you? Anyways, congratulations on your pregnancy’, Sophia said, looking at Pame
‘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. I am inside 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 at
‘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 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. You see, that night, I kept on affirming that it’s no
Walking with no strength left 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 their death.‘I should have protected them at all costs. I shouldn’t have left their side earlier today. I killed them. My greed killed them’, 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 their death. With nowhere 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 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
‘Why did you kill her? Is Dad aware 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 stand 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 how happy she was, with the decision she took 20 years ago. ‘Just like every other woman would have done, I devised a plan.
