SOPHIA. “Are you telling me not to be angry? Huh?,” I said exhaustively and a tear rolled down my cheek. “I am sorry about that but it wasn't intentional," his remorseful voice came through."See I had an emergency meeting which was why I didn't show up that day.” Pain wrenched my heart as the memories of the day I waited for him on the lonely street and he didn't show up. Because of that, I had a very nasty experience. I can't even walk around with my shoulders held up high. “And you couldn't drop a message telling me you won't be coming again?” “Look I am sorry okay?” “It happened that I traveled out of the country the next day for a business trip.”“I have been trying to reach you since that day but your number wasn't connecting. I was worried about you." His words softened my heart because I felt he meant what he was saying. I sighed. Yeah, the dude is concerned about me no doubt. I have known him for years now. “Are you okay? He asked, concern evident in his voice. “Why
SOPHIAThe sports car pulled in front of the Hospital at a very high speed, the tires screeched as Damian matched the car brakes furiously, bringing the car to an instant halt. I heaved a sigh of relief which I had no idea I needed to let out in the first place. “Get out,” He growled, pushing the car door open. He got down from the car aggressively and slammed the door, rushing to the other side of the car to pull me out. “Get out," he pulled the car door open, “Out!" I sat stunned as my whole body trembled and my chest pounded in my chest so hard like it would cut and sink in my belly. I never thought I would arrive at the hospital alive. Damian is a b*tch. He pulled the car to its final limits, driving recklessly, not minding to obey traffic regulations. I screamed the hell out of myself when the cars in the same lane with him were waiting for the traffic light to change from red to green. He drove through while a truck which the traffic light still indicating “green" on his lan
DAMIANIt's been over an hour since I ordered the doctor to take that heartless girl away. I don't care if she is yet to recover from whatever sh*t happened to her two weeks ago. She caused it and that was the outcome.I sat with my head cringed. My hand slowly runs through my hair. Well, I knew damn well that my hair was a mess due to the constant ruffling but I don't care. I just wanted to be sure Melissa was safe. She has had a lot and I as well. I can't afford to lose her… The babies are gone. I could feel tears forming in my eyes at the thought of the lost pregnancy but I held it all in.I heaved a deep sigh then ran my hand through my face, hoping all was well with her. I was brought back to the moment when I heard footsteps approaching, I slowly tilted my head to see if it was Dr. Lucas and luckily for me, he was the one as intended . I brought myself to stand up reluctantly as he made his way to me confidently. “How did it go? Is Sophia alri…” The words cut in my throat whe
SOPHIAI wailed when backhand slaps landed on my face back to back. I felt my cheek burning and the spot he slapped me suddenly reddened. “I hate you. To hell with you and your Melissa,” I blurted out wailing. I hastily grabbed the pillow and threw it at him and he sat not moved by my actions or my words. Before I could know what was going on, I had difficulty breathing as my throat choked. Damian pinned my head to the headboard. He grasped my neck so tight that I couldn't breathe. My eyes reddened as they popped out and he tightened his grasp. I kicked my legs continuously as I struggled for breath and at the same time slapped his strong hand holding in my throat continuously as I struggled to free myself. “I hate you,” I drawled looking at him with evident hatred in my eyes as my body went weak and I struggled to keep my eyes open. His eyes were blazing with anger and I could see something in them I hadn't seen since I got to know him. “How dare you? Huh?” He snarled He flinc
MELISSA I was in my dreamland enjoying the fantasies with my eyes closed. All those while Damian was sitting beside me on the bed, worry etched on his face. He looked at me passionately while his graceful hand brushed my hair backward. Oh my God, this is it, I wanted him all to myself. To myself and not share him with some kind of slave. I resisted the urge to blush but I felt butterflies in my belly. “You are going to be alright," Damian's voice faltered as he withdrew his hand from my hair but his gaze still locked on my face with worry evident in them. Immediately, I heard the door pushed open recklessly, “I will kill you!" That was the first thing I heard. The voice was full of so much hatred. I didn't open my ears, still, I knew who the voice belonged to. Oh, my poor Sophia. You want to kill me. I laughed inwardly at the thought of it making sure my eyes were shut. Does she think she can achieve that?“What are you doing?” Damian growled, his face tensed. He grabbed Sophia
MELISSAI slept on my sickbed enjoying the memories of what happened hours ago and at each passing second, I grinned the most. The memories are mind-blowing. It's feels fucking good to have an edge when fighting for what is yours. “Ouch!” I cried out clutching my brow and a frown creased my face. Damian ran to me, his heart pounding in his chest and he let a lump down his throat, "Oh you are awake!” He asked with worry evident on his face as he sat on the edge of the sickbed, his gaze scanning my face.I opened my eyes slowly, blinking my eyes countless times in other to do away with the blurry vision. I looked at Damian with a worried face, clutching my belly, "Don't tell me…" my words faltered in my throat. He stared at me worriedly, his gaze looking into mine like he was looking for a Lost jewel in them. “My babies," I muttered, my breath coming in heavy gasps, and my eyes popped out of my socket. He sat still as his mind went blank, I could see his eyes were reddened with te
SOPHIA Sitting in the back seat of the car, the atmosphere in the Phantom was chilly and conducive but I felt my head ache and my whole body was heating up. It hurts so much. Tears shimmered down my cheeks and I couldn't stop myself from crying. Even though I assured myself I wouldn't cry again because of what those b*tches did to me.Oh sh*t! I just hate myself that I am not strong enough and l let them use me as their plaything. The thought of everything that happened made me wail in my heart-wrenching pain. I didn't forget the triumphant smile on Melissa's face and the challenging gaze she shot at me, she had all the right to because her armor was by her side. They saw me like a lamb ready to be slaughtered and they butchered me, breaking each bone in my body mercilessly. I couldn't help but question my fate. I could feel Authur’s gaze on me from the rear mirror and I didn't give a damn if he was looking at me in my outburst of tears. I didn't give a damn if he was watching me
SOPHIA “Mmmmm!” I groaned, clenching my jaw and my fist at the same time. Oh no! I crawled on the bed quickly, trying to find my phone. “What the hell were you thinking?” A voice in my head questioned. I thought maybe I kept the phone beside my bed as usual. Honestly, I don't know where my phone was.I needed to take steps to bring her shady deeds to light. I once caught her talking to someone who I thought was Damian. It must be her secret lover. I sat on the bed and the memories of how adored and fulfilled I would become popped into my head. I couldn't help but smile slightly and my face creased with a deep frown when it rang a bell that Damian wouldn't believe whatever I said. Anyway, I wasn't doing it for him to believe me, take me back, or win his heart. I just have to do away with that snake. Melissa is a snake and she has bitten me several times. What the hell on earth have I done to her? My heart pounded in my chest and I could feel my whole body trembling. I was nervous and
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
