SOPHIA

I sat on the couch as I am binge-watching reels on my IG before I will later go to sleep, the door opened and I cocked my head just to see Damian saunter in. My sight fixed on him as he walked straight to the bed and let himself fall carelessly on the bed.

He must be so stressed out. Since he is indoors right now with me this watching of reel stuff is on hold for now.

“Come to bed when you are done.”

I glanced at him nonchalantly just to see him sitting up as he yawned, covering his hand on his wide-open mouth.

“I'm sleeping on the couch,” I said in a stern voice.

He narrowed his gaze at me,"Okay, since you say so, I respect your decision,” He said with no emotion on his fine face. He reached out his hand to me with a quilt in his hand which he pulled from the bed, “How about this?”

I gave him a ‘what is it for’ kind of look wondering why he would take away the quilt he has on the bed and hand it over to me. I frowned, are you for real. ?

His voice firm, “Miss Kingsley I

    SOPHIA I saw an elegant woman between the ages of 30 - 35 years old with an illuminated face, “Good morning, Madam,” her voice was mellifluous. I wasn't expecting anyone to be here and hearing the door creak stunned me. I forced a smiled at her, “Good morning. How are you?”“I'm fine madam.” She blushed, “Hope you had a wonderful night?” I nodded, “Yea, my sleep was splendid.” Packing my unkempt hair away from my face. “My name is Selena, I'm Mr. Damian’s cook. I must say you are a very beautiful Madam and lucky since I have started working in this house I haven't seen him bring any lady home. You must be very different. You are welcome Ma.”Hearing her say Mr. Cold hadn't brought a woman home since she started working with him chilled my soul and I couldn't help but blush foolishly, “Awnnnnn” “My name is Sophia Davies, so you can just call me Sophia.”I was so wrong in taking him to be some kind of Christian Grey Billionaire. I never intended to sleep on this bed at first thi

    DAMIAN Since Melissa left me when she told me she was going to take care of her sick grandmother, I thought she would never leave but she did. She told me over the phone after her Grandma gets well she will be back to be with me but it was never so. After a week she left, and her line was not connecting, I tried as much as I could to be in talks with her but all yielded fruitless results. Aff! After a while, I was at work but the thought of her couldn't let me be myself, luckily for me, I received a call from her, my cherished one Melissa and I could hear her sweet voice again at last, telling me she lost her Grandma. I said I would come over for the funeral to be by her side but she told me she was right at the funeral as she called me. For goodness sake, I can't just wake up and start going for a long trip to Texas abruptly so I just let it be. I tried to inquire why her phone number wasn't reachable, all she told me was pain in my heart and I could feel her pain. It's not easy t

    SOPHIA I sat in the back seat as the Man who brought the package Damian sent to me was driving. I have been lonely and bored with the awkward silence in the car. I decided to keep myself busy by taking some selfies in the car. I swayed from the seat as he took a sharp turn and stopped almost immediately as the brakes screeched. Oh, I didn't buckle the seat belt and it never crossed my mind to.“What's the matter?” I asked impatiently, staring at him. He tilted his head towards me, “Sorry, Madam I have to pick up this Call from my boss. We will be off soon.” Okay, fine.There is nothing about him stopping, just that the turn he took was too nasty and my phone almost fell. “You can go ahead,” I said calmly. ‘Even if you don't tell him to go ahead he has to answer his call, Baby’ something in me uttered. It's beginning to piss me off as it's always getting on my nerves.I know, Baby.“Hello, Sir.”“Hello, Arthur, are you there?” Damian's low-pitched voice came through. “We are on o

    CHAPTER 12 DAMIANWe stepped out of the Lift as I gave her my hand she held onto it and a feeling of relaxation rained over me as our hands intertwined. I looked into those pairs of brown glittering eyes. I could tell they were feeling special and that feeling alone gladden my heart. Sophia suddenly stopped in her tracks, and I gave her a confused look wondering why she suddenly stopped. She heaved a deep sigh as she gazed at me, “Damian, thank you for everything you have done.” As she flicked her eyes at my face, her demeanor was explicitly calm. Finally, we are getting there like I said earlier, one step at a time. She will easily give in. I knew it, she would like the gift I sent Arthur to deliver to her. I can't imagine how happy she was when she got the gifts. And I must say she looks hot. Looking at her alone arouses the desire to grab her and start kissing her impatiently.“What for? I asked, pretending I didn't what she was talking about as I stared at her nonchalantly. “T

    DAMIAN She got dizzy as she lay loose in her chair, I signaled Arthur to come take her to the car as I waited for the party to be over before I would finally join them so we could go home. The party was over as Clinton finally met with me again before leaving with the pudgy damsel he got at the birthday party home to smack her ass. I joined Arthur and Sophia in the car as Arthur drove us home. My Pretty one who was still under the shackles of Chardonnay slept peacefully in the back seat and I sat by her side. I made her place her head on my lap as I removed my coat and covered her and she flinched at my actions. I must say I love teasing her but not all the time. She is extremely good for my liking. I played with her hair and my stern face, “Arthur, I need you to do me a favor.” Arthur slightly tilted his head towards me as he gripped the steering more firmly, “what do you want me to do for you, Sir?” Good! “I want you to run a background check on Sophia, I want to know everyt

    DAMIANI stopped slamming into her when I finally released and I moaned as I jerked. She lay moving her hands around her breasts slowly as she licked her lips with smiles filled on her face. I lay next to her as she snuggled into my chest shyly playing with my nipples as I messaged her lower back. I can't imagine how happy she is right now and I have to say I am the happiest man alive on earth. That was so sweet of you, Damian,” She said shyly, hiding her face in my chest as she accompanied it with a blow in my chest blushing foolishly.I couldn't help but blush uncontrollably, “You are just so sweet, baby.” She looked at me making puppy eyes, “Are you for real?” “Sure baby.” Winking an eye at her.“You know what? she stopped and thought for a while, her forefinger placed at her lower lips. I smiled salaciously, looking deep into her eyes, “I don't know shit baby, bring it on.” “I think we should go for another round,” For real? I think I have played my cards right there hittin

    SOPHIA Honestly, last night was wonderful. I had butterflies in my belly when I woke up this morning and thought about it. That man called Damian is a beast in bed and I must say I love the way he slams me. I am in the kitchen cleaning the dishes. Selena never wanted to let me do it but I insisted. There is nothing wrong with me washing the dishes. By the way, I don't have anything to do apart from sleeping, eating, watching my favorite series, chatting, and binge-watching reels on IG all day. It's all getting boring so I have to do other stuff. Excuse me, Madam,” Selena's calm voice caught my ears, I smiled at her, “What's up Selena?” “I think your phone is ringing.” Ugh! I left it on the table in the sitting room while I was watching a series on Netflix. Let me go get it,” I took the towel hanging on the dish rack and cleaned my wet hands as I rushed to the sitting room. 3 missed calls already? But why is he calling? I shrugged off the thought as I dialed his number. After a

    SOPHIA As Arthur left to pick up Damian, I walked elegantly into the clothes store, greeting the securities at the entrance with muscular build as I waved at them grinning.I am just moving around the store as every outfit I see seems to be very beautiful and stylishly made. Honestly, I don't know which one to go with. After admiring almost every dress my sight captured, I finally made the best choice for my taste. While I was searching through the dresses, the sales girl was following me as she was showinshowedrious types of female outfits they had available in their shop. I pointed at a dress, “That one,” as I walked towards it excitedly.I was about to take the dress up when I suddenly heard a voice, “Sorry Madam, don't touch it.” She said curtly. Oh my goodness! I was stunned as I slowly turned and looked at her confusingly, “Sorry, you say what now?” My brows furrowed.She stroked the pen she was holding on the book in her hand, “That dress is pretty expensive and from all in

    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?"

    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

    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.

    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?" 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.

    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
