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

    DAMIAN I clenched my fist till my whole body trembled as it took me a lot of patience to wait for her to finish her jig. “What are you talking about? you know I don't love Damian,” the voice note read and my heart jumped in my chest recognizing the voice, "he is such an asshole. Once I am getting what I want from him, I am good with that. I don't love him," the voice note ended and Sophia shut her phone gulping as she stared blankly at me.The anger in my heart tugged my already shattered heart. The voice was Melissa's but I believe she can't do such a thing. I know Sophia never liked Melissa since day one so I wasn't surprised. "Cutie pie," Melissa ran to my side panicking, “you have to believe me, I didn't do any of the things she said. That was my voice but I didn't say such a thing. She is lying,” she broke down. My eyes slowly traveled to Melissa and I couldn't bring myself to see her get hurt. I looked at her as my heart got heavy with emotions. She was too innocent for all

    DAMIAN I ran my hand down my face as my head was cringed, lost in thoughts, my heart was a mess with random thoughts running through it. I swiftly looked up when I heard footsteps approaching just to see Dr. Lucas. I sprung on my feet as I rushed to him, my feet ramming on the floor, “How is she?" I asked, with my arms opened by my sides and my worried gaze locked with his as my heart pounded in apprehension. He heaved a deep sigh as he cringed his head removing the nose mask which covered his nose, he shook his head slowly as he looked at me. It took me a lot to control myself due to his sluggish attitude since I hate it when it comes to urgent matters and some folks would be behaving like nothing serious when someone's life is at stake. I groaned inwardly as I was running out of patience, the worry on my face gradually changing into a glare.“I can't tell when she will awake because her condition is so critical," he heaved another sigh as he shook his head again, pulling his li

    SOPHIA “So sorry ma'am," the words came evident with worry and empathy. Hearing her words clogged my already messed up heart with emotions the most. “It's well ma'am," she pulled me to sit up but she couldn't because my face was already creased with a frown and my whole body grew weak which I couldn't tell if it was due to crying or my shattered heart. I lay on the couch devastated. After trying to make me sit up but to no avail Selena gave a deep sigh in frustration, “I think I will make you a cup of coffee. Like you always tell me it makes you feel better," she said worriedly and I sat up quickly crossing my hands on my tummy as I frowned at her in reprimand to her words.She leaped in, wrapping her hands around my body. I couldn't bring myself to return the hug, instead, I buried my face in her chest and immediately, my chest swelled up with heavy emotions and I screeched, transforming into a loud outburst of tears. “No ma'am," Selena said worriedly, her hands around my body ti

    On their way as Damian drove to the hospital, Sophia wailed as tears shimmered down her cheeks and she banged at the glass of the sleek sports car just to get down from the car but to no avail. She stopped hitting the glass after her hands hurt and when she couldn't cry anymore. She sat with her face creased in her dilemma, her breath heavy and nose lost in thought as she questioned her fate. Throughout the ride to the hospital, she wished and prayed for death since Damian put the car to its final limits, driving and disobeying traffic regulations. She frowned the most with her heart burning with more hatred than ever for Damian. She tilted her head at Damian as she frowned the most at him, “You made me withdraw my love for you," she uttered inwardly then lowered her gaze to her hands held together on her lap with her head cringed. Standing in the lobby of the hospital, Sophia was devastated as anything when she couldn't stand a chance to stop Damian from bringing her to the hospi

    Mr. Damian sat on the couch, his eyes welled up with tears which made him have a blurry vision. His vision was just like someone under the dreary day. Looking at him one would tell there was something amiss with him. He gave a sharp exhale in frustration, “Oh damn it," he jabbed an aggressive blow on the couch he was sitting on, then he groaned, clenching his jaw. His actions earned him a confused look from his chief security officer, Authur, he stared at his boss for a while as he felt a lump down his throat then he ran his palm down his chest, regaining his confidence and his eyes scanning around as he kept his guards on. Damian's intense green orbs were still brimmed with tears. As a man who seemed to be strong, it took him a lot of energy to hold the tears all in. He collapsed leaning on the couch with his head thrown backward and his eyes staring blankly into the atmosphere as he was lost in his dreamland, “Damn it!" He cursed, shutting his eyes so tight which made his faci

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?"

    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.

    “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

    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?"

    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
