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
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
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
SOPHIA I was just sitting in my office trying to get some work done on my system but I can't. I didn't feel like doing it anymore. My heart kept thudding with pain as the thought of what happened lingered in my head. But I have to get work done if I don't, the meeting with the partners will start any time soon so I have to kick off the thought of how Melissa black-painted me this morning. Breathe in, breathe out.Sigh! Sigh!! Sigh!!!After trying so hard, I finally got her out of my head and now I can focus on this progression report which is what I have to be done with as soon as possible.I heard a knock at the door, “Yes, come in,” I said typing on my system without looking anywhere but at the system’s screen. “Good day Madam,” Sandra said calmly in a sweet voice. I stopped typing and stared at her, my hands placed on the keyboard, “Good Morning Sandra, Okay, by what time will the meeting commence?” She raised her hand to her face as she looked at her wristwatch, “Meeting wil
SOPHIA “Okay I will be there soon,” I said with emotions in my voice as my chest pounded a little bit. What have I done this time? Why did he sound so furious? Might it be that something else got him angry? Whatever it is I will know when I get there. The call ended and I moved my hands gently on my hair making sure it was on good looks before leaving for Damian's office and at the same time my chest heaving in apprehension that I had done something wrong. I got up as I sauntered out from my office heading to the CEO’s office, Mr. Damian Kingsley. “Why do you sound so furious on the phone, you—” I said casually upon getting into Damian's office but kept my mouth shut and I froze in my tracks when I noticed the deadly looks in the eyes of Damian sitting on his chair with his fist clenched as he placed his hands on the table. What has gone over him? Who made him angry to such an extent? He glared at me for more than 30 seconds without blinking his eyes and I, who got uncomfortable
SOPHIAWhoever did this to me I am going to find them and if I did I must make them pay for it. But why can't Damian believe my words for once? Is this what it looks like to tell someone you love them and never bother to listen to what they are telling you when things go wrong? That's so bad! I empathetically understand how he felt embarrassed in the meeting but he should have at least had a second thought that I am not someone to root for his downfall. I looked at him in disbelief as he stared back at me budging and with the looks in his eyes, I could sense he was done shouting at me and was just waiting for me to scram out of his office. “I am leaving, Damian,” I said just a little above a whisper and I got a glare from him for saying that. I turned and faced the door, walking towards it frustrated. Even though the experience I had in his office kept tugging at my heart with pain, I tried to make it not reflect on my face with emotions by feigning a nonchalant look. I got to my o
SOPHIA “Who sent you into my life?” “Cut the crap, Miss Kingsley, all of that is not important and by the way, are you listening to yourself at all? If I had known you before now and you dare mess with me” she drew closer as she looked at me straight in the eyeballs “I would have finished you,” her voice growled and her facial expressions tightened. I am sure this was why my heart was always apprehensive that something terrible was going to be wrong with getting married to Damian. I see her whole intention is to make sure she spoils my reputation. Why are you this heartless? I wonder how such an adorable woman like her can be this fickle. Oh gosh, how can I deal with this woman? I see that no matter how I try with her, she will have an edge because Damian knows her to be good. But I won't let her see me as her plaything. Besides, he chose her as his woman willingly but, he was compared to marrying me not because he loved me in the beginning and chose to run after me like Melissa.I
DAMIAN Since the incident at the company, we are back home but this girl is behaving like I don't exist in her life anymore, I mean Sophia. I know I scolded her for maltreating Melissa but I wasn't pleased with her actions. But right now I feel so sad seeing how emotional she has been since we closed from work today. I just regret my actions. If only I knew I shouldn't have done so. But why would she have a misunderstanding with Melissa each time they cross paths? When did she suddenly become so vicious and mean? I never knew her to be this straight-headed in battle. With the information Arthur gave me about her she was spotless or maybe she has suddenly become something else when she gets to know that Melissa was the one in my life before I got to know her. I think that's where she is getting it all wrong. Can't she get it? I've told her several times she has nothing to worry about Melissa because Melissa, for the past years I had lived with her is good and can be attention-seekin
