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

SOPHIA I have had the past two days thinking about how my life has been since Melissa got into my life with Damian. She is so innocent just like a newborn baby which makes it very hard for one to believe she can do all the things I had been complaining about unless they caught her right-handed. Honestly, my sanity has fallen apart. I never wanted this marriage but it's most women's dream to get married to a Billionaire. When I thought of it, as I was told by Dad to marry him without having a say, part of me was happy and the other part of me was shattered. I have got to know Damian as a good man under the Billionaire facade with the way things were going but Melissa is making him become something else. One moment he is mad at me either amid Melissa or in a public place like at the company and the next minute he will be soothing and pleading with me not to be mad at him. But he will still do the same thing he pleaded for my forgiveness for which I do forgive him as he does demand.

I looked at him with my eyes narrowed trying really hard to be sure I knew him somewhere as he dragged one of the chairs back from the table before elegantly holding his shirt from behind him with the tip of his thumb and forefinger pulling it up before sitting down and taking a sip from the glass of whatever he was drinking.“So I ask again what is a beautiful woman like you doing here all alone, mind if I keep you company?” He asked, looking at me nonchalantly as he dropped the glass of the drink in his hand on the table. “I think I know you somewhere,” I said pointing a finger at him with my gaze narrowed at him.“Oh really!” He said quickly opening his arms by his sides as he sat quietly and I was sure he was trying to remember if he had known me as wellDefinitely, I know him somewhere just because it's been long and I have forgotten his name. I just need some time to think. I sat for a moment with my finger across my lips as I tried to remember his name. I said excitedly aft

SOPHIA The time spent with Mark was tremendous. It just felt like the other times we shared while we were in school and I am the happiest woman alive now. I don't feel like that sorrowful woman who just walked into this hotel moments ago with a heavy heart like a big stone hung around my neck. We remembered the memories we shared back then and I blushed inwardly at the thought of it. Smiles.“I think I have to go,” I said after looking at my phone screen my eyes widened, realizing I just wasted a lot of time outside and the thought of the consequences dawned on me. When I left Damian wasn't at home and Andy must have told him I tricked him to leave the house without him.Mark swung the remaining drink from his glass, he kept the empty glass on the table gently, “The day is still young for crying out sake,” He said calmly in his usual voice motioning his hand in the air nonchalantly.“I know but I have to focus on some uncompleted tasks before it's Monday again,” I said, my voice tre

SOPHIA “I can't stand by and watch some kind of guy treat you like trash,” Mark said calmly with his chest heaving as he looked at me. “No, but you shouldn't have done that,” I muttered under my breath as I stared at him with my eyes widened and my chest pounding. I don't just know what will happen next. Damian will misunderstand the whole thing by saying I left home to be with my lover, not only that my lover has the guts to assault him. Mark drew close to me as I looked at him in disbelief for fear of what Damian would say and do, he traced the back of his hand at my cheek, “Are you okay?” He said compassionately as he stared into my eyes, “I just want to make sure he does not hurt you.” I took some steps back feeling unease in my heart as I raised my hand and pushed his hand away from my face slowly looking away from him as my eyes met briefly with Damian who stood with his mouth widened looking at me and Mark. With the look on his face, I could tell he was trying to fathom wha

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.

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
