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
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 I wonder why sometimes people are so gullible. My partner keeps allowing himself to be fooled around by a woman who left him. And because of her, he has been ill-treating the kind-hearted one Melissa is using as the scapegoat. But how did Sophia agree to marry a man who treats her like a stranger? That I will ask her when she feels better. I guess if I bring up that now it will just make matters worse. As we were driving I asked her if I should take her to her husband's house since she said she was not working again but she said she doesn't want to go home now. Staying somewhere else or going with a stranger she doesn't know is better than going home since going to her husband's house will make her more emotional. So I guess we are going to my house then. She pleaded with me to stop by the coffee shop so she could grab a cup since she thought a cup of coffee would make her feel better. We stopped at the coffee shop as she demanded and we went in to get her a cup. She sat on t
