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

    SOPHIA I opened my eyes slightly as I moved my gaze around in the room just to see it was daybreak already. A crease frowned on my face. I just wished I had some magical powers so I could invent a time stop, sleeping in bed all long. It's just hopeless. I didn't have powers.I closed my eyes as I tried to get my arse back to sleep but it never came. The past three days have been hell. I don't want to talk about the day I spat on Damian’s face. I bet you want to know how it all ended but….. I don't want my heart to be clogged with emotions. Hope you will understand and bear with me. Anyway, just know that God saved me as he let Selena come check up on me and when Damian noticed her presence, he mantled his fury on the bed as he furiously kicked it, groaning. That's it. I went two days straight hoping and begging to be drowned in the depths of sleep but it never came. I would toss on the bed questioning my fate and before I know it, it's daybreak. Only God knows how I managed to fin

    SOPHIA “Melissa,” I called glaring into the atmosphere. “What the hell do you want,” I yelled, clenching my hand by my side. She giggled the most which pained my heart like I was hit with a ton of bricks. My heart began to rise and fall as I struggled to breathe. My heart choked up with pain like it was pierced with a sharpened two-edged sword. It's hurt to the core. I gave a sharp exhale, the heat in my heart at a climax, “What do you want?" I gritted my teeth. “What do I want?” She said calmly but snidely, "I don't want anything from you, slave,” she chuckled. “Melissa I am begging you if you are looking for trouble get off my line," I shrieked and immediately I lowered the phone in my face to end the call.Now you know what it feels like to kill the heirs of Kingsley's family,” she said snidely then chuckled.Hearing her last words aroused the urge to shoot back and I couldn't end the call anymore. Because it pierces my heart in pain knowing very well that I didn't kill her c

    SOPHIA “Miss Kingsley, that was the order issued by Mr. Damian.”Hearing the name “Mr. Damian” added salt to the wounds in my heart. I groaned, clenching my jaw with my fists clenched, “Shut up!" I jolted to and fro, and I stood back in his face to say something but pressed my lips together as I resisted the urge to talk. In the blink of an eye, I shot forward, moving swiftly with quick steps. “Miss Kingsley,” the guard called behind me but I never stopped. The rest of the guards tuned in as well, calling and running behind me. I didn't care. I know damn well that none of them would dare touch me in the name of stopping me.Do they think they would just walk up to me, running their mouths, "Miss Kingsley, Mr. Damian blah blah and I would sheepishly walk back into the house? Never.I walked towards the grand gate as I was full of boosted adrenaline in my veins. I never knew I could be this high till the snake pushed me off my limits. My eyes blazed with anger and when I noticed the

    SOPHIA “I will kill you!” I screamed, “You bitch," "Sophia what has come over you,” Damian screamed, "Stop it,” a heavy slap landed on my face but I didn't feel the pain. I was hell-bent on killing the snake. If it means taking her down with me I would do it. What am I even saying? I know I would be going six feet with her if I succeeded in killing her. The snake kept screaming as she struggled to breathe. I enjoyed seeing her choke on her breath and the way her eyes grew round in her sockets, that alone gave me the energy to do more. Stop it," firm arms grabbed mine in the quest to pull them off from Melissa's neck and I could tell it was Damian even though I didn't look at the person's face. “Give her some sedatives,” Damian growled and immediately I felt other hands grasping around my body. Abruptly , my grasp around Melissa's neck was loosening.“Let me be!" I screamed and this time tears began to shimmer down my cheeks. It tugged at my heart with pain. The pain was unbearab

    SOPHIA Damian leaped up on his feet, his finger pointing at me and his face sullen, “No matter what you say about her I am not going to believe you. All I know is because you hate her so much." He stopped as he shook his head swiftly, taking a few steps forward, “You made me change my mind towards you," he scoffed, “I just pray you can cope with this side of me for the rest of your life," he growled. I stared at him as blankly as my whole body went weak. My eyes were brimmed with another set of tears, just a blink of an eye and they would trickle down my cheeks. I felt as lifeless as my heart went blank. “I think you may want to return to sleep,” Damian said coldly which brought my attention back to the moment, and when I noticed it, he was about to leave the room. He turned and strutted towards the door adjusting his jacket suit.I stared at him blankly as he opened the door and walked out, shutting the door behind him. I shook my head in my dilemma and tears kept trickling down

    SOPHIAFor the past few days Melissa and Damian have been sleeping in the hospital and I even enjoyed it as the whole mansion was left to Selena and I. Damian would come back very early in the morning to have a shower, change and he would go back after taking a few things he might be needing or Melissa might be needing. For all I know she wasn't sick. She is such a fickle thing pretending to be sick.Sitting in the living room as I sipped gently from the cup of coffee Selena brought to me earlier on, I decided to spy on Damian’s company to know what was the latest development since he decided to demote me and I furiously quit the job.It was good to see they were going well. At Least the company was still closing some deals. Good to see that. My eyes traveled from the laptop to the transparent glass table when my phone rang. I kept the laptop by my side on the couch as I bent over to get a hold of my phone. Staring at the caller ID, my heart leaped in my chest for joy. I swiped my fi

    SOPHIA sitting in the cab with my hands crossed over my chest as I looked out nonchalantly through the window, lost in thought. I was thinking of how it would feel like to disgrace Damian and his so-called kindest woman on earth. If you ask me, I won't believe how Damian, with how smart he looks, could be fooled by her for so long. Hope she didn't use love potion on him. That's none of my business. All I know is I now have her in my palms. The thoughts of how Damian would be dazed and devastated made me blush inwardly. Slowly, a triumphant smile plastered on my lips and I lowered my gaze on the documents beside me on the back seat, I couldn't help but grin the most. Is this how it feels to have an edge over someone? No wonder Melissa always smiled when she made my life a living hell. I picked the documents up in my hands, staring at them as my facial expression tightened, I scoffed then adjusted my position as I leaned with my back at the seat, my finger slowly stroking the docume

    SOPHIA My actions got Damian confused with a mix of anger in his eyes as he clenched his fist by his sides, “What are you up to?" He pointed a stiff finger at me, his face tightened. I chuckled, “I just have some news.." my nonchalant face slowly traveled to Melissa with a glimpse of anger burning in my heart at the sight of her despicable face. I didn't forget as she swallowed hard, her heart racing in her chest in apprehension. Oh yeah, she knew I was up to no good. I turned my face back to Damian, “Good news for you. Hope you would be glad to know it," I continued with a smile tugging at my lips as I looked into his tense eyes. I reached out my hand at Damian with the documents in it, “Here.” His gaze slowly shifted to the documents and he quickly looked at me with raised brows, glaring the most, "What are you up to?” He growled. I shrugged, "Nothing serious, just have a look,” and immediately Damian snatched the papers from my hand, he gazed at them with his head slightly cri

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?"

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.

    “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.

    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.

    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?"

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.

    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
