The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 23
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
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 25
DAMIANI know Sophia felt disappointed when she saw Melissa but she tried to keep calm to be herself. I knew she loved me and would not want to see me flirt around with any woman and I wouldn't want to see her do the same thing. I know she won't do it, she loves me.I should have told her about Melissa but seriously, I and Melissa weren't in talk for a long time. She came back telling me how she struggled with the thought of living without the one she cared about the most. She told me I was the only one she loved and would love to live her life with. I can't tell her to go away or not give her access to my life anymore. Why she leave, was never planned for. And it could happen to any of us. We all live today and the sooner, we are no more. I feel pity for you, Melissa. I am glad that Sophia understands me and that she is not vicious. If it were some kind of aggressive wench, I wonder what would have happened. They should have packed their baggage and the next minute, they were on th
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 26
SOPHIAI heard Damian calling my name as I shut the door and intended to head to the rooftop. I shouldn't have gone down after all but I did because I was so tired and I don't know why. The entire bones in my body are screaming as they need to rest and my brown eyes are also yawning for sleep. But seeing Melissa as she lay on the bed and gazed at me , a challenging smile tossed the whole fatigue and sleep in my eyes away. I have to head back there and get a hold of myself.By the way, it's not a big deal to me Damian already gave me his words. When he was telling Melissa where she would be sleeping as her room, I knew it was all falling on deaf ears with the looks on her face as she rolled her eyes. I could tell that. And Damian never saw it, even though she feigned I knew it. Maybe she is as good as Damian reputed her to be. She may be pulling all these dramas because she has a rival now, which happens to be me. Honestly, I don't like creating misunderstandings with people. If only
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 27
DAMIANOh No! What's all this? I was just wondering where I would be spending the night just a moment ago and with the way Sophia asked me to go have a rest, I knew she knew that that was the thing I was thinking about that was giving me headaches. With the empathetic looks in her eyes, I get it, she understands me. I intend to spend the night with her already. It's not fair to leave her, she is my wife. If I leave her to go spend the night with Melissa, she will sleep in the lonely bed, pondering how I will spend the night with Melissa. My face went pale when I heard a mellifluous voice call my name, “Damian” and I abruptly looked at the door just to see the same Melissa in her usual transparent nightgown explicitly revealing everything underneath her. Why doesn't she want to respect our privacy, I mean I and Sophia's privacy. I crossed my hands over my chest, clearing my throat, “You don't just barge into a room like that” I walked past her as I headed to the door and Melissa's
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 28
SOPHIA The brightness of the rising sun shimmered into the room through the window as the curtains were draped, the light shone on my face and I opened my eyes slowly just to see it in the morning. But wait a second, I placed my head on a soft pillow last night while I went to sleep. How come my head is lying on a hard surface? I snapped as I quickly sat up on the bed clutching my chest with my hands. My eyes fell on Damian who slept peacefully. He made me place my head on his chest. The batter in my chest dropped down as I heaved a sigh of relief noticing it was Damian. But why would he do that? I calmed myself as I looked at him frivolously before turning to sleep back on the bed. “Huhhhh, you are awake?” He said while yawning. I sat up looking at his sleepy eyes for a moment passively before greeting him, “Good morning Damian, How was your night?” He sat up and leaned at the head of the bed, “Good morning my Angel, my night was sweet with you by my side,” He smiled I smiled b
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 29
MELISSA UNBELIEVABLE!!! This Sophia of a girl is….. I can't believe Damian doesn't even want to look at me just because of her. Oh gosh! Is this happening under my nose? It can't be and even if it's happening let me say I am just dreaming. But how can Damian stoop so low to be in love with such a crass of a girl called Sophia? Despicable!! I hate him for that.Here I am sitting in this house all alone, with no one to talk to, no Damian by my side, everything so boring. I am damn sure he is in her office right now like love birds playing together. When I was living with Damian it never crossed his mind to make me even a liaison between any of the companies but he did so for that crass.Not too long after he and Sophia get married, he has made her the queen of his life, Miss Kingsley. That sucks and I can't imagine she is even not a girl she chose for himself. She was sold to him. A slave. So despicable! I don't even know what Damian sees in her that I don't have. She can't be compare
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 30
SOPHIAWhen the door opened a husky voice asked what was going on. I heaved a sigh of relief seeing Damian struts into my office. I stood motionless waiting for him to get closer to Melissa and me before I would say something.The next thing, Melissa quickly rushed to him, “Damian thank God you are here,” she said, snuffling continuously as she got to him. “Damian I don't know what has come over Sophia, I was tired of staying at home so I decided to come see how she is doing since she is the Head of the M.O Group and also congratulate and give her words of encouragement but started yelling at me.” She said fidgeting with her fingers. My mouth abruptly went wide at the same time as my eyes widened and my hand quickly clutched my mouth. What the hell! is that…. Is that…. This girl is something else. Damian stared at me, his face stiffened, “Sophia, it was your voice I heard, why were you shouting at Melissa? Don't you know it echoed in the entire company? How will your subordinates lo

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
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 123
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
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 119
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
