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
