The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 38
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
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 43
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
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride CHAPTER 45
SOPHIA Hearing the voice made me close my eyes gently as I heaved letting my thoughts to a more calm place. I didn't need to look at who just spoke because I knew who it was. Even as I didn't look at him I was taken aback. What business does he have to do here? Or has he been following me up to know where I work as well? I wondered. Damian glared at him with his fists clenched by his sides. “Did my question rip off your tongue?” Mark said sneerily and the furious look on Damian's face became more stronger. “I ask again. What proof do you have to back that up?” He said calmly taking a few steps into the hall.Damian turned to us sitting around the table, “Everyone, leave!” He said huskily and immediately, murmuring filled the hall as they stood up to leave, each person talking to the other, their voices barely above a whisper.After a while, the hall was silent as the people Damian instructed to leave were gone. It was just us, Damian with Mark and Me with Authur and some other sec

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
