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
SOPHIAAs we sat in the car not knowing where Mark was taking me, I cried till I couldn't cry anymore as I sat with my head placed on his chest and his arm wrapped around me. I didn't know when I gave in to the exhaustion and I drifted off to sleep. The next thing I felt was my head placed on a hard surface as I was held in bridal style. I resisted the urge to open my eyes and look at him and also where he was taking me since I had so much trust in him, he couldn't do anything silly.After a while of strutting with me in his hands, I heard the sound of a door creaking as it opened and he went in with me in his hands. I felt my back placed on a soft surface then my head laying calmly as well on the soft surface. I guess that was the bed he was laying me on. I felt my stilettos taken off from my feet and the next thing, stiff clothing covered my body and I writhed, turning to sleep on my side. I heard footsteps walking away from me and then the sound of the closing door. Immediately
SOPHIA What is she doing at home? I thought she would be busy with some work at her husband's company since I resigned. Didn't Damian give her a promotion? I don't forget how she walked to me the last time telling me she would make sure she took everything from me, including my life. She has just started work. Bad bitch! I cursed her inwardly seething.I stood glaring at her as my weak hand slowly closed the door. She stared at me snidely then the corner of her lips shifted into a smirk. I couldn't help myself but clenched my fists by my sides till my knuckles turned white as I stood blazing with expressed anger. All the happiness I had a moment ago crumbled to my feet at the sight of her. I glared at her as I nibbled at my lower lip terribly as I had millionaire questions in my heart to ask her, why she had been after my life. Why has she been tainting me at each chance she's got? I resisted the urge to do so and that only broke my heart to a thousand pieces when it occurred to m
SOPHIA For the past four days, Damian did not let a day pass without drinking himself to a mess and I am angry with him for doing so and also for not delving deep into issues before passing his final judgment. Why would Damian of all people let himself with all his wealth be deceived easily? If Melissa could run a background check to find more details about me, tell me why can't Damian do so for crucial matters. He is just so gullible. He is so blinded by Melissa. Seeing him drink himself to mess made me sad. Deep down I know I still care even though I am grumpy and reserved these days making sure I mind my business but it's hard for me.The day I slept away from home in Mark's house, it's been just me and Selena. After I felt better, I had a warm shower and got dressed in comfortable clothes before heading down to the dining room for dinner. I asked Selena if my husband had come home but she told me he hadn't. All through the dinner I wasn't comfortable, my instincts kept troubling
SOPHIA As I walked out of my room dressed in blue trouser jeans and a white top, my hair tied in a ponytail, the first person I met was Selena carrying breakfast to the dining table which I was sure was mine. These days I normally have my breakfast alone. Sometimes Selena will sit along with me as we chat. Although at first, I was kind of resistant to it, she kept on engaging me in conversations and I had no choice but to give in to it. I know she has been trying to show her concern for me which I appreciate a lot. I am getting used to talking to her alone in this big mansion and I don't care if Damian talks to me or not. The one thing that breaks my heart is I always see myself desperately craving for his attention which is what I hate.He talks to me though which is not more than greeting and the other is when I have done something wrong which he will mean to me. Still, I do crave his attention because I have been sleeping all alone to myself in the cold hands of the bed. I need h
DAMIANDamn it!!! It's been ten minutes past the time scheduled for the meeting with the new investors who showed interest in investing in my company and I am all alone in the boardroom. What's going on? I took out my cell phone from my pocket suit. I dialed Authur’s number and I placed the phone to my ear. He picked after a few rings. “Where the hell are you?” I growled. “Sorry Boss I just finished using the restroom and I will be with you right away," he said subserviently. "You better." I hung up. These new billionaires who are investing in my company their deals are worth millions of Dollars. I couldn't help but smile to myself at the thought of it.I got on from my seat and I trailed around the boardroom with my hand tucked in my pockets. I held footsteps and I turned around just to see Arthur strutting into the room with worry written all over his face. “What's going on?” I asked impatiently with my arms opened by my sides. He cringed his head in reply which got me more c
DAMIAN“Hello, Mr. Damian Kingsley. We are sorry to let you know our company can't collaborate with you anymore. Our standards demand that we work with businesses that have high values and we can't partner with you anymore due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you.”“Can we please talk about this?” “Hello!”“Hello!”I heard no answer from the other end of the call. I stared at the phone screen blankly just to see the call end. It can't be true. Someone, please tell me they are joking. I hastily dialed the number as my hands trembled and sweat immediately trickled down my head. "The subscriber you dialed is switched off, Thank you.”My heart hit my rib cage and my eyes fluttered countless times staring at the phone screen with my eyes widened, I dialed the number again. “The subscriber you dialed is switched off, Thank you.” “Fuck!” I shrieked, smashing the phone on the tiles and it shattered. I stood blazing with anger as I stared blankly at the spoiled phone on the floo
DAMIAN I scoop Sophia in bridal style strutting furiously out of the hotel room and then towards the elevator. Authur carried her stilettos and her cell phone. Her grip around my neck tightened as she stared at me with erotic eyes. I halted in my tracks glaring at her which was short-lived then shook my head swiftly in reprimand to her actions. Even in my hands she never stopped squirming and my grasp around her body tightened just to prevent her from falling to the ground. She looks too innocent for what she just did. Despite all the nonsense she has been doing lately all my reactions towards her is to keep her in check so she can change her ways. She still does something to my heart. But right now what she has done is nothing compared to her past scandals. We descended in the elevator and then walked out of the hotel to the car. Authur opened the car door for me, I laid her in, as she lay loose on the back seat. I glared at her then I shook my head, slamming the car door, as ang
