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
SOPHIA “KNEEL,” Damian said huskily as he stood in front of me with his hands fisted and his face aloof. I cringed my head not knowing how I was feeling as I collapsed on my knees staring in the space blankly with my tears trickling down my cheeks on their accord. “What is going on?” Melissa asked in a calm voice as she clung right to Damian's left hand smiling at Damian before turning to look at me briefly then her eyes back on Damian. Damian didn't answer as Melissa inquired to know and I wasn't the one to tell her what was going on. Even if she doesn't ask, she will get to know every dick and harry. So let her just chill. The dreadful looks on Damian's face never softened at all. I wonder what kind of woman Melissa is that she can't even soften him down after standing by his side. I am even minding her? This is the kind of thing she always wanted for me so why would she want to lure him down? If I think she will do so, then it's not gonna happen. Damian pulled his hand off M
SOPHIA Arthur took me by my arm reluctantly like he felt sorry for me and I got up from my feet as I was kneeling on the expensive tiles exhaustively. I don't know how I was feeling guilt crept over me as I cringed my head in shame. It's all my fault if it were not for me, Mark wouldn't have jabbed him a blow in the face. Seeing the sneerly look on Melissa's face twisted my heart in pain but the shame over me never left me. As we were out of Damian's sight Arthur let go of my hand as he was holding me like a criminal who was brought under the law in court and he moved fast in front of me, “Follow me, Miss Kingsley,” He said his words full of emotions as he trailed without looking in my direction. I followed as he said or commanded, whichever one it meant I don't know and he stopped by a door as he inputted the password of the door and the device beeped at every button he pressed. Interesting, this is serious. Since I have been in this house I haven't seen any door with password l
SOPHIA My brown orbs grew round as I froze in my tracks. “This ring I thought it was for me,” I muttered under my breath as he glared at me “You thought it was for you?” He screeched still pointing a finger at me and I never forget the blazing anger in his eyes. When I walked up and saw the ring, even though yesterday was a messy day for me, the ring made me feel special and I thought it was his way of making things right with me again. If it were not for me why would he keep it in my room? Is this truly the man I was married to who was always teasing me around, sending expensive gifts to me, taking me on prestigious occasions telling me how it was his way of showing me to the world as “Miss Kingsley,” winking an eye at me.Giving me the shocker of my life by giving me a position in his company when he barely knew anything about me. But when I asked him how he knew I studied Business Management in school his response was “I shouldn't forget he is Damian.” I narrowed my eyes looki
SOPHIA “Shut up you bitch,” I snarled revealing my teeth, and a groan escaped my mouth as the expression on my face hardened, I slammed several blows on the bed continuously before tossing the quilt away from my body and I sat upright as I frowned. My gaze traveled slowly around the ample bedroom and the whole place felt too big and the silence made me frown more. Damian had become grumpy and mean. He keeps avoiding me. I turned and looked at the bed with my hand slowly placed at the spot he always sleeps and my heart was clogged with emotions. I missed you, Damian. I missed the days when you snuck into my room and made me sleep with my head placed on your chest. Don't I used to give you peace of mind anymore? I am not the girl who brought so much happiness to your life? That girl which you looked into her eyes and told her, she healed you from insomnia, and because of that you would make sure she is always happy and nothing can be in between you and her. I couldn't help but questi
SOPHIA “Oh! Sophie, how are you today?” Melissa feigned in a mellifluous voice grinning at me. The heaviness in my heart raised to a higher peak and my chest kept heaving, rising and falling slowly as I scowled at her. How dare she ask how I am today? She already made my day worse than ever by just seeing her when Damian refused to give me listening ears but she has come to see him and they will play together and chances are that they can make love together. I looked at her without saying a word, the pain in my heart was still there and the triumphant smile was still on her face as she curved the corner of her lips again into another smile. I felt the sudden urge to dig my manicure nails in her throat with her painted face and her wobbling breast but instead, I darted my eyes at her with so much bitterness. I didn't care if Damian was looking at us all the time we stood there. We stood for more than five minutes at the door. I don't care. If he likes, let him take me to be the ba
