SOPHIA “Yeah,” I replied, looking into those pairs of intense green eyes as they flicked across my face. He smiled, caressing my cheek with his fingers, “That look on your face, I know what it is.” “What?” I rolled my eyes waiting impatiently for what he would say next. “You are just curious,” he removed his sunglasses from his jacket suit and slowly wore it on his face looking into space.“Susan,” He called “Package that which my Angel chose, we need to leave now.” “Yes Sir,” she moved and packaged it as she walked over to me, “Here Madam,” “Miss Kingsley,” Damian corrected her as she let a lump down her throat, “Here is your dress Miss Kingsley,” “Good,” Damian added looking at her as he took out his phone, his gaze lowered on the screen. This side of him is so sweet, I lack words to express how I feel. Oh my God, he made the manager sack her employee because she looked down on me with contempt. Now, he still corrected the manager herself for calling me Madam, telling her

SOPHIA “Okay, tell everyone I'm on my way I will be at the Company in a jiffy,” He hung up tucking his phone in his jacket suit pocket as he heaved a sigh then he looked out the window, with the look on his face I could tell he is far away in his dreamland. Could it be that he lost a deal? Or maybe his company has been in the tank lately? He seemed to be lively a moment ago, but all of a sudden he is just sitting quietly like a log of wood, far away in his thoughts. Well, why am I even bothering myself, here we are going to his company and whatever it is, it will come to light. “Are you okay?” his calm voice came through and I looked at him, his orbs staring at me. I forced a smile looking at him, “I am okay,” nodding my head. “But you seem to be worried lately.” “No, I just sat quietly, no issues.” I am the one who is supposed to ask you if you are okay, you were cool a moment ago and you went silent. From the expression I noticed on your face you seemed to be thinking ab

SOPHIA “Notify everybody to be at the hall,” he gazes at his wrist watch, “In the next 5 minutes I will join them,” He hung up placing the intranet in its place as he winked an eye at me. I wonder why he loves doing it. He opened his system as he got carried away trying to get some work done while I sat quietly wondering how I would be living with the new burden mantled on me at the head of the group. “I'm not sure I can do it,” I said swiftly breaking the silence within us. He looked at me from the system, as he heaved a sigh, closing the laptop slowly, “You can do this, Angel.” Mr. Damian, I don't like it when you call me different names, when I think you want to call me, “Mrs. Damian” that is when you will come up with another name, “Miss Kingsley” and before I know you will come up with another. “I can't Damian, where should I start?” I said quickly cringing my head. “Miss Kingsley, from what I know, you studied Business Management at the University and also had dreams of

DAMIANMy Angel, I am yet to tell you the revival you brought to my life and how I always feel good around you. I made a promise to myself to make your life way better and this is just the beginning. I only offered you to be the leader of M.O Group and you wondered if it was for real. I was kidding it was for real. We got home and I glanced at Sophia silently but she never knew. I could sense she was very happy about the whole situation just that she never expected such a treat from me. +++++ I sat in the sitting room as I kept myself busy with games while I sipped chilled juices from a glass. Mehn, this game is very interesting. My opponents seemed to be very tough but I am too good when it comes to playing martial games so I have an edge over them. Since I have been playing, they only got their chances at me twice while I have won eight of the ten rounds so far played. “Sorry to bother you, Damian,” I heard a calm voice as I was busy trying to knock down my opponent with my eye
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 21
SOPHIA As Andy and I left the house I sat in the car imagining how happy Dad would be if he got to know Damian doesn't treat me like trash. I can't imagine the thousands of smiles he would put on his face. When I got into Damian's office and he offered me the documents to sign I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't. I feel special. I know I'm lucky too. We finally got home and Andy halted the car. We got out of the car as we strutted to the door, I greeted everyone I came across in the neighborhood smiling at them. I stood at the door, pressing the alarm door, I could hear Dad's voice asking, “Yes, who is it? Wait a second I am coming.” And I smiled uncontrollably making a few touches on my phone screen as I tried to dial Damian's phone number, so I could inform him Andy and I arrived at my Dad's place safe. I changed my mind and decided to text him. I grinned as I swiftly typed the text,‘Hello Damian, I have reached my Dad's place. See you soon! Love ya!’ the text reads. After a

SOPHIA I nodded as I smiled at Dad, taking up my spoon and I began eating again. Throughout the meal, Dad didn't say a word to me again but he kept staring at me nonchalantly. Whatever it was that he was thinking I didn't have a hint about it, but I guess maybe, he is just happy for me. I have known him way too long, whenever he is excited about something he doesn't seem to show that he is excited and I understand that is because of his age and because he values self-respect and reputation.I packed all the dishes to the kitchen after we finished eating so I could wash them, Dad and Addy headed back to the sitting room, and I heard Dad talking to Addy. Whatever they were talking about I couldn't hear them even though I tried to eavesdrop. So, I decided to avert my thoughts and focus on the plates I had in the sink for washing. I finished washing the dishes, and after drying my hands with the towel, I picked up my shirt and wore it on as I buttoned on while leaving the kitchen. I saw

SOPHIAHe dropped the remote control on the table as he turned to me, looking at me nonchalantly. “Angel, I need to talk to you,” he said calmly as I stared into his green eyes. Before he could say a word, we all heard footsteps descending the stairs and I turned quickly just to make eye contact with a lady as he glared at me. Who is she? What have I done to her to deserve such an evil glare from her? I let a lump in my throat as I managed to grin at her as much as possible. My sight captured Andy who happened to avert his sullen face from the sight of her as he murmured, “No shit!” adjusting the space on his face. Reading his lips, I knew that's what he muttered. I slowly looked at Damian who sat passively as my heart jumped in my heart of its own accord. With the expression on his face and with the way the lady descended the stairs, swaying her curves in styles my heart began to sink into the doldrums. ‘Keep still, Sophie,’ A voice in my head instructed as I sat attuning all
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 24
SOPHIA I had to excuse Damian and her woman since Melissa wouldn't let a minute pass by without sparing me an evil glare. I wonder if she is normal at all. “I think I have to be upstairs,” I muttered, clutching my purse firmly as I stood and ascended the stairs.Damian just stared at me passively, whatever he was thinking, he seemed to be lost very far away in his reverie. ‘Should I go in?’ I froze immediately as I reached out my hand to open our bedroom when I became conscious of Damian's mistress around. No, I can't go in right now, I had to be somewhere else. I sauntered to the rooftop and sat on the couch right in front of the swimming pool. The calm atmosphere gave me swift relief from the heaviness in my heart as I heaved a deep sigh. Lounging on the couch I closed my eyes as I lay calm. After a moment I was fast asleep but I was awakened from a phone call. I got up and frowned at the phone as it was disturbing my sleep. But when my eyes saw the caller ID my face suddenly

Mark sat in the waiting room at the hospital, dressed in black trouser pants, and a long-sleeved white crisp shirt. He placed his elbows at his knees and his hands clasped together under his chin. His face was nonchalant with a glimpse of emotions coated in his eyes. Even though he looked relaxed and calm, his heart lingered with unease because of the situation at hand. After a moment of basking in his thoughts, A tall figure trudged into the room, calling his attention. Mark lifted his gaze in that direction. The man he saw was the very person he didn't have the patience to wait for anymore. Mark sprung to his feet, his heart slightly pounding in his chest and his breathing was palpable. “How is she?" He asked with concern, his eyes widened at the doctor as he swallowed hard.The doctor smiled, tucking his hands in the pockets of his lab coat. “Gentleman, your wife is in good condition after childbirth.” Mark sighed in relief, “Ah!" “W-What about the baby?" He stuttered, his gaze

For more than a year after Sophia was happily wedded to Mark, Sophia slept on the bed. In Between her back which leaned at the headboard was a soft pillow. her big tummy pointed outward. A quilt covered her fresh and smooth legs which she had covered since last night. The early morning sun shone into the bedroom from the floor-to-ceiling windows which made the gleaming room brighter. Her face locked on her phone screen as she perused through it casually, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. Her phone chimed as a message dropped in her WhatsApp. It was a message from Selena, [Ma'am it's good to see you have gained your happiness.] Sophia had been chatting with her since she woke up from bed. She had been in talks with Selena and she promised to bring her over to work in her company. Sophia replied, [ Be prepared to come over to the UK whenever I say so]Immediately she sent the message, Sophia off the phone. Her face stared nonchalantly at the screen for a while as she was d

“I-I d-didn't m-m-mean to push you. I didn't know it was you," Jimmy stuttered, his body trembling the most. The thought of losing his job scared the sh*t out of him. “Don't you know she is my woman?" Jimmy nodded at the same time he shook his head in reply, “I had no idea." Mark turned to his guard with the most scary figure which his sinew muscles explicitly showed under his suit. “Make sure he is paid his wages before the hiring and firing department looks into his matter . He nodded subserviently, "Alright Boss.” "Take him away," Mark commanded. His guards pulled Jimmy away as he never fell short of pleading and calling on Sophia and Mark to forgive him. But all his pleas and cries all fell on deaf ears. After Jimmy was taken away and the noise had died down, Mark turned to Sophia as he stared at her with passion, “It's okay," he said gently in a doting tone. He didn't bother to know what happened, all he knew was Jimmy was working in the company and he never knew his relat

A black sleek Bentley pulled in front of the towering building. Gradually, The card door opened and Sophia stepped down from the car she casually shut the door with a slight thud, her face indifferent and a smile tugging at her lips.Taking her time as she leaned at the car, she clutched her purse in her left hand and her slightly cringed face focused on the phone screen in her hand as she silently went through the content on it. The white haute couture gown with spaghetti straps fit her so perfectly revealing her cleavage as the dress pushed up her breasts. Her brown eyes flashed with a tinge of brightness accentuating her beautiful face and her aura couldn't be ignored. Sophia got a message from Mark immediately after she got out of the car. [Good morning Sophie…Sorry, I couldn't come with you to your company but I am on my way. I will be with you in a jiffy.Love ya!]The smile on Sophia’s face broadened as she grinned uncontrollably, her hand adorably placed at her chest as h

Damian lounged on the couch in his chilly sitting room. His eyes drooped and his hair was disheveled from the constant ruffling of it. He sighed in frustration then his heart continued to rise and fall as he breathed. His heavy breath filled the air.His faded eyes darted around in the spacious room languidly, his heart restless as he yawned to get the answer to the one thing that troubled his heart. He had gone to broadcasting stations, live shows, newspapers, and magazines yet none of them couldn't give him a positive result after the publication he made at the various places. Even though he was frustrated, and had been having sleepless nights all night, he never backed down in searching and sending Authur to keep on investigating and gathering information. He still went further, telling Authur to get experienced people no matter the cost just to get him positive and heart-relieving news. “I don't care how much it will cost me or how long it will take me. All I know is I am going

Damian sat in his office, his indifferent face locked on the laptop as he carefully scrolled through the screen. One thing troubled his mind. The last time he visited Sophia, he was to go on a vacation the next day. He asked her to come with him but Sophia refused. However, before that, he had offered the keys to the Cool Maybach limited edition he bought for her. He further went on to pronounce he was willing to let her be the CEO of Trilix, His company Sophia worked in as the Head of the M.O group. “Damian you are unbelievable! just because I was kind enough to give you food to eat you think I had forgiven you?" Sophia spat out” His face became pale as Sophia’s words from that day replayed in his head. He froze staring blankly at the laptop screen as the thought of her actions that day clogged his heart in heavy emotions. Since he brought up the topic thinking things would be right instead things went south and Sophia scolded him and drove him curtly from her house.‘I should h

Damian stood in front of the door, his hand grabbing his waist as he sighed in frustration, his faded gaze staring at the door. He had been standing there for more than thirty minutes since he arrived. He knocked countless times but no reply came from within. He sighed in frustration, cringing his head, ‘Could it be that she doesn't want to see me again?’ He mused. He raised his head, “I know she is in there," he muttered, his finger pointing at the door then back grabbing his waist. Authur, who stood beside him after listening to what he said after a while said, “I don't think so Boss," he uttered calmly with a lace of concern in his voice. Damian turned to Authur hastily, his face turned red, “Then where is she?" He barked, "What did she want me to do before she can soften down a bit?” Authur stood like a servant before the king as he listened to Damian’s outburst having no words to say. Indeed it was heart-wrenching when all Damian’s efforts yielded fruitless results. No matt

Damian only blinked and rolled his eyes around the room uncontrollably. He stared at her in his heaviness of heart not having the guts to utter a word since his heart was clogged with emotions and his throat tightened with a knot. “How?" Sophia screamed, this time more loudly, her voice resonating in the whole room and to more than just the room they were in. Damian only stared blankly at her in reply. The emotions and shame rained on him this time more than ever which made his knees fade away as they went weak. Sophia scrutinized his face, her brow creased as she glared at him, and her eyebrows which rigid slightly trembling. “Even after all the nonsense….” Her finger pointed stiffly at Damian, "You still have the guts to treat me like I am a prisoner under your custody like you always wanted” She barked, her fingers pointing back at her chest as her heart throbbed with pain the most.Awkward silence stealthily swope over the atmosphere as Damian’s lips were sealed. Seeing that Da

Sophia stood in front of the wide mirror, her brown eyes frowning back at her from the mirror as her sullen face from the mirror etched with emotions. frowning at herself one more time from the mirror she adjusted the round neck of the black gown she wore, the sternness of her face surging on. When she was done with applying a red lipstick on her lips she turned and strutted to the bed, her clicking stilettos on the cold tires taking over the silence atmosphere in the room. She perched on the edge of the bed, her hand grasping her purse and she flung it open, her hand tucked in it simultaneously with her gaze searching for something. The calm sound filled her ears like a wall clock ticking as someone knocked on the door. Sophia's frowning gaze starred in that direction and the intensity of her glaring gaze reached a higher climax in the blink of an eye. Her eyelids knitted together and her lips pinned together in a straight line as her heart throbbed with anger. Her heart tightened
