Sofie's POVI had a dream; a weird, obscene dream.In my vile dream, Roman was on top of me, kissing me with such ferociousness and fervor that it felt as though I was just a prostitute he had paid to fuck, and not his girlfriend.He was trailing harsh hickeys down from my jaw down to the cleavage of my chest while muttering angry italian words whose meanings I couldn't decipher.In a bid to stop the mad dream from continuing, I forced my eyes open with a loud gasp, but my eyes only widened in horror to the size of saucers when I realized my dream was not only real but even more horrible to view in reality.Roman was really on top of me, and was really trailing rough kisses down the slope of my chest. He fisted one of my boobs with a hand, while the other hand rapidly unbuttoned my night shirt with an hasty intensity that greatly baffled and scared me."W-what is this, Roman? What the hell are you doing?" I attempted to bark at him but my voice only came out in form of a timid whimpe
Roman's POV"Give me the strongest drink you have." I muttered, plopping on the bar stool.The waitress darted me a smile as she nodded before getting the equipments for mixing the drink ready.I sighed heavily, as I felt the blood vessels inside my head throb with a migraine.The thoughts of the night before invaded my mind for the umpteenth time, and my heart lurched with guilt. No matter how much the alcohol I drank was, I just couldn't shake the image of Sofie staring up at me, her coffee eyes misty with unshed tears and atrocious hatred for me.I had no idea what possessed me to take Sofie in the most painful way without her permission. Although a part of me hated her for lying to me, that didn't mean I wanted to harm her.I couldn't even bring myself to apologize to her, because I felt both hurt and disgusted toward myself.The flowery oud scent of an exotic perfume wafted into my nostrils, as I felt a shadow loom beside me.I couldn't bring myself to care about whoever the per
Lana's POV"I still can't believe Roman had the audacity to embarrass you in front of that golddigger." My best friend, Jessica Coleman said as the maid poured us two glasses of iced whiskey."That bastard will pay for his actions, and I really mean it. I'm going to take the most important thing in his life away from him, then he'd have no option but to return to me." I giggled, but my short moment of manic excitement was cut short by the maid's clumsiness.She had tripped and in the process–she had broken the half-filled bottle of whiskey."Please pardon my mistake this once, Madam Lana. I didn't look where I was going, ma." She knelt, begging profusely and not daring to look me in the eye."You stupid imbecile, is that bottle too heavy for you to carry? Do you know how expensive that whiskey is? Don't worry, I'll make sure you use your miserable, meager salary to pay for it, now get your useless self out of my sight, fool!" I barked, and she cowered but nevertheless, she scrambled o
Sofie's POV"Did you hear about the professor from the faculty of botany? Allegedly, she had sex with five male professors in her faculty, and was caught on camera, and now the professors are getting fired while she's getting her license revoked, I mean how crazy is that?" Katie rambled, as we placed our food trays on the cafeteria table before taking out seats."Yeah, it's crazy. It's really crazy." I muttered, cutting the ham on my plate into smaller pieces.Katie dropped her cutleries, bunched her hands below her jaw and darted me a pointed look which caused me to sigh and also drop my own cutleries."You don't even know what I'm saying, do you?" She huffed.I made an offended noise as I glared weakly at her, "I do. You were saying something about a professor who had sex with five other professors, no?"She shook her head and said, "Okay, fine. You were listening but your mind is clearly not here, what's going on with you? I noticed you've been spacing out since the week began but
Roman's POV "Postpone my meeting with the marketing team indefinitely and tell the team leader of the auditing department to meet me in two hours for a brief meeting." I instructed Nathan, as we both walked into my office.We had just finished attending a meeting with some shareholders from other companies, and for some reason I couldn't quite fathom, most of them were asking to sell their shares to get their money back."Sir, Alexander Guilon has withdrawn from the business proposal, sir. He asked me to inform you." Nathan said, as I sat on the swivel chair.My fave contorted into a frown, as I tried to deduce what could have brought the sudden withdrawal. The Alexander Guilon I knew had been quite desperate to form a business alliance with me, so having him cancel his plea to merge our companies was really strange to hear.I shook off the irritable memories of what had transpired between us, on the last day he had been to my company as I scrolled through my tablet, to see the rest
Sofie's POV"Why do you look so surprised to see me?" I scoffed, as Katie's eyes widened into the size of jugs.I had decided to pay her an impromptu visit that day, because I was depressed and frustrated about my worsening relationship with Roman.The memories of the night before still burned my memory like a fresh wound, and I didn't want to keep mulling over my sad thoughts.It wasn't good for the baby."Because I am really surprised to see you! How did you even get my address?" She exclaimed, stepping out of the way to allow me in properly."You must have forgotten that you told me your address months ago, and I happen to have a very retentive memory." I said."This is a really nice surprise, Sofie. I must admit you took me completely off guard, don't mind the disorganized painting paraphernalia lying around. I paint during my free time, and I haven't really had the time to organize my instruments." She explained, as she grabbed the painting brushes and crumbled pieces of paper fr
Roman's POV"Are you leaving already, sir?" The receptionist at the front desk of my office asked as I strode out of my office."Yeah, I've got somewhere important to be." I replied, handing Nathan my briefcase and car keys.My hands were tremoring so badly, and I knew I couldn't drive in that sort of nervous condition.I had no idea what I was supposed to do to salvage my ruined relationship with both Sofie and Damien.But most especially, with Sofie.The blossoming relationship that I had single-handedly destroyed because of my stupid ego and immaturity.Damien had also mentioned something about Sofie having complications with the pregnancy, but my head was too far up my ass for me to deduce what he was saying.I knew Sofie wouldn't easily forgive me even if I apologized but it was okay, because I brought it upon myself.If only I hadn't uttered such derogatory words toward her, if only I didn't give her a toxic response when she asked if I wanted kids in the future.She wasn't the
Sofie's POVI woke up to the sound of the same shrill laughter of a female that I had heard, before everything went dark.As soon as I winked an eye open, I immediately knew I was in grave danger.The place I was in looked like a basement or should I say a dark, horrifying den.I was sat on a chair, and tied to it with a spiky rope that dug into my skin with every little movement I made, and my mouth was also sealed with a duct tape.I had also been stripped out of the clothes I was wearing earlier. Now, I was dressed in a short, dirty camisole that loosely hung off my shoulder, and barely reached my thighs.I felt so awfully vulnerable and exposed."Looks like the bitch has finally woken up." I heard the awfully familiar, high-pitched voice.Lana. She was standing right in front of me, with her head cocked to the right and a pleased grin twisting the sides of her mouth.Three scary-looking male thugs were also standing behind her, I sighted the bastard that had forced me into the van
