It's been days since I went home. I was still angry with myself for what happened between Rose and me. She has been calling for the past few days, but I ignored it. I instructed my security and my P.A not to allow her in my office anytime I'm at work, and I instructed my security at the mansion too.Since our last call where I shunned Sophie, that was the last time I heard from her. I decided to go home today. Grandma called me yesterday asking about my wife. I need to tell her she was okay. She even asked me to pass the phone to her, but I told her she was sleeping. Knowing my grandma, this is the second time I've told her she was sleeping anytime she asked me to pass the phone to her. Knowing her kind of person, the next time would be her showing at my house to see things for herself. She said she was going to call tomorrow, this is why I've decided to go home today. I arrived at the mansion around 6pm. On entering the house, I noticed how quiet it was. I didn't notice anything bec
"She is not here, sir.""She's not around? Where did she go?" I asked with all seriousness."She didn't say, sir. She said she'd be back soon," Sheila replied."When did she leave the house today?" I asked, hoping to know it hadn't been long and wait for her return."Today? Sir... sirrr..." Sheila stuttered."Why are you not saying anything? I asked you to tell me when she left the house today!" I said impatiently."She... It's been three days, sir," she said.I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. I kept quiet and tried to remain calm, but the anger inside me could wound somebody if released.I summoned all of my workers outside. I asked how many of them knew about Sophie leaving the house. Sheila, my security man, and my gardeners raised their hands."I don't want to see any of you in my house starting from this moment," I said calmly.Sheila tried to say something, but I didn't care to listen. I asked the rest to go back home and resume next week. I didn't want to see an
I was feeling a bit lightheaded from the drink I had earlier and somewhat fatigued from the day's events. My mind was preoccupied with the question of why she was in Bellaris country and whom she knew there while I was seated in the jet. Not having received many details from Victoria earlier, but I didn't bother to ask. I was content with knowing her location and intended to gather the rest of the information from her myself.Upon arriving at Bellaris country, I headed to the Williams hotel where Victoria had informed me Sophie was staying. It was a hotel managed by our company. As I entered, the staff were taken aback to see me and started bowing their heads to greet me. I paid them no heed as my sole purpose there was the "small trouble" currently in the hotel.I could see the General Manager rushing towards me to welcome me, and I inquired about Sophie. I didn't need to say much as they were all aware she was my wife, and they had been strictly instructed to keep it confidential,
After my exam yesterday, I returned to the hotel, utterly exhausted. The previous day had been spent immersed in my books, leaving me sleep-deprived. My phone had died after the exam, and I was puzzled as to who might have tried to reach me, considering its low battery when I left home. Upon entering my hotel room, I hastily plugged in my phone and collapsed into bed, succumbing to much-needed sleep.When I awoke, it was already morning. To my surprise, I sensed a presence behind me on the bed. A hand rested gently on my waist, and the person was fast asleep. startled, I let out a fearful shout, jolting the person awake. In a calm and soft voice, they inquired, "What's your problem?" As I turned to face the person, hoping it wouldn't be who I was thinking, our eyes met and I was taken aback to see that it was Greg. Questions swirled in my mind - what was he doing here, and how did he know I was here? Why were we sleeping together? Before I could gather my thoughts, I noticed his eye
…………………..I've been very angry with myself after what happened that night and the following morning. I agreed that I was a bit drunk that night, but that morning, pulling her back myself? What is wrong with me? I set the boundaries and I am the same person passing those boundaries? Sleeping together is going to make her feel special, I have to put her in her place. As I was thinking about this in my office, my phone rang and it was Sophie. "Why did you fire Sheila and Mr. Noah?" She askedWhat right does she have to question me? Isn't she responsible for that?"Why did you leave the house without telling me? They lost their job because of you!" I retorted coldly " What right do you have to question my authority? Do they work for you or me?" I continuedThere was silence on the other end of the line. " Me leaving the house had nothing to do with them, you should hold me responsible and not them!" She replied angrily" Sophie, is it because we slept together, that is why you're r
The following morning, I left as early as possible before she woke up. I drove to the mansion to change into a new set of clothing before going back to work. I realized everywhere was quiet when I entered the house, that was when it dawned on me that Sophie was the only one in the mansion. What? I made her sleep alone in the mansion? I quickly made my way towards her room, on my way, I realized the table and food had been set already. I walked towards the table and saw a note on the table with, " I made something light, please eat before you go" written on it.How did she know I was coming back? I looked at the food and it looked really Delicious. It seems she's doing well on her own.I went to my room, freshened up and came outside, preparing to leave for work. As I was closing my door, she came out of her room. We both looked at each other before I walked towards the sitting room. She followed behind me. I made my way towards the outside, as I was about to step out, she quickly
I was surprised Greg came home today. After what transpired between us this morning, though he said hurtful things, I wasn't going to stop pestering him to call Sheila and Mr Noah back.I welcomed him and Pete. They passed me and went ahead to his room. I continued watching TV because I couldn't sleep. I slept almost throughout the day. I miss having Sheila and the workers around. Their presence made me feel I wasn't alone. I heard footsteps from the stairs and saw Pete coming down. We both greeted each other again. After exchanging pleasantries, I noticed he was bothered about something. He looked like someone who had something to say judging by how he didn't leave immediately. I took the initiative to ask him what was wrong." What's wrong Pete?, Do you have something to tell me" I askedHe was silent for a few minutes before he decided to open up." Could you make something light for Boss? He hasn't eaten since morning" he askedI was surprised by his request. Knowing what transp
At Mesh lounge, one of the biggest in the city. I had a meeting with Mr Smith to finalize the contract. I was already there waiting for a few minutes before Mr Smith came. He apologized for coming a few minutes late. I brought out the contract and passed it to him to read the final details of the contract. He went through it for some minutes before finally signing. We talked for a while before we both left. On my way out of the lounge, I received a call from Brad asking me to come over to his bar. I arrived at Brad's bar around 10pm in the night. When I entered the ViP room, Ben was already there drinking and laughing at what Brad was saying.I sat down beside Brad and poured myself a drink. We talked about Ben and his marriage. He has been complaining about his wife and how she has been treating him." She doesn't care about me anymore. She literally avoids me in the same house" Ben said " Hahaha… tables have turned now, you were literally obsessed with your ex after marrying you
" Thank you" I said in between tears. I was asked to blow the candles and make a wish, I did as I was told.They presented me with different presents. I opened them after the other and was amazed at the wonderful gifts they got me.Elliot asked for our food to be served, we all ate and sang. We played different games and sang." Let's go and dance!!" Tracy suddenly exclaimedWe left the VIP room and went to the Dance floor in the VIP section of the bar. On our way, I saw a family face and was surprised. Immediately he saw me, he came over to where I was." Ma'am welcome" The manager from the Williams Hotel here in Bellaris saidI saw the surprised look on everyone and asked to be excused. The General manager and I walked to a corner to talk." Do you work here as a part-time manager? How come you're a manager in two different companies" I asked The manager smiled and replied," Didn't you see the name when you came in?" He asked" I did, it was just "W" I answered" Didn't it ring
" No thanks" I simply replied" Why? It's just to eat something nice after all the stress we've been through these past few days" he said smiling" Or should I call the rest to Join us? It seems you don't want to eat with me alone" Elliot said looking at me" It's not that Okay, let's eat dinner together then" I agreedWe both went to a small Restaurant outside the school. It was a popular place amongst students. Elliot ordered for both of us at my request.After we were done eating, we talked for a while and left.He tried to pay for my taxi back to the hostel but I declined. I got home a few minutes later. " Did you go somewhere after your exam?" Diana asked immediately I entered our room." Oh sorry I didn't call to inform you, Elliot and I went out for dinner after the exam" I replied" Hmm.. so, you went out on a date with him?" She asked " You heard me clearly Diana, it was not a date. Going out to eat with a coursemate isn't a date" I replied" But…. He's handsome and……"I
Both Rose and Greg were surprised. As I was about to continue what I was saying, Greg ordered me out." Get out" Greg ordered" I'm not going anywhere" I replied" Sophie, you're testing my patience, I said get out!" He shouted" Get out? And she stays? No way I'm going anywhere when she's here" I repliedGreg became quiet. " Rose, let's Go" Greg said taking his car keys from the tableI immediately blocked his way to stop him from leaving. " Where do you think you're going?" I asked with my voice laced with angerWithout replying, Greg pushed me out of his way. He held Rose's hand and they both walked out. I ran after him and shouted" If you leave with her, this would be the last time you'd see me in this house!" I retorted angrilyGreg stopped walking for a while, he turned to look at me and scoffed" Suit yourself" he said and they both left.I was speechless. He chose Rose at the end. Why am I still here? What's the essence of this sham called Marriage? The amount of pain I
I stood there speechless. I looked at both of them and ran out of words. I felt my chest tightened, the more I looked at them, the more pain I felt.Coming all the way from Bellaris to see this? Greg looked at me for a few minutes and walked past me. Few minutes later, Rose came out of the kitchen, she held two cups and made her way towards the sitting. Immediately she saw me, she was startled." When did you get here? Why are you here?" She asked surprised at my presenceI didn't reply and walked to the sitting room to where Greg was seated, he was busy with his laptop." I want us to talk" I said to himHe didn't reply and continued with what he was doing on his system.This time, Rose was now seated beside him. She gave him a cup of tea and they both continued talking about business." Are you ready? We're going to start the meeting Soon" Greg told Rose who nodded to his question.WowI'm not leaving here without talking to him.I sat down on the cushion beside Greg. Greg was now
Sophie's povIt's been a week since the incident between Greg and I. I have been apologizing everyday, from text messages, to calls, none of them worked.Greg didn't respond to any of my messages, to make things worse, Greg blocked my number!Yes, he blocked my line from calling him.After he left that day, Diana scolded me a lot. Up till now, she still scolds me for saying such things about Greg." You were wrong, totally wrong. I don't know how you're going to go about this cos Greg was really disappointed" Diana said.My only option was to call Pete. I have been calling Pete for days, at first, he didn't pick, but now, his number isn't connecting. I guess he has blocked my number too.Tomorrow was my matriculation and the following week, my exams would be starting.I had called Nana, Victoria and my parents to inform them about my matriculation. When I called Nana to inform her, I apologized about the way I reacted during Greg's mom's birthday . She didn't take it to heart and tol
The following morning, Greg woke up early. He felt Sophie's weight on him, she was now wrapped in his embrace with her head on his chest.Greg smiled at this sight and gave her a peck on her forehead.He had work to do but he didn't want to miss this moment. He went back to sleep.A call entered and woke both Sophie and Greg up. Greg reached out for his phone and picked the call after checking the caller ID" What is it?" He said coldly" Where are you? We've been looking for you since yesterday" Pete said on the other end." I'm at Bellaris country with my wife" Greg said with all seriousnessSophie was already awake when he said that, she immediately sat up on the bed. " Why are you here?" She asked touching her forehead" Let's talk later," Greg said to Pete and hung up the call." Are you okay?" Greg asked concerned" What are you doing here! How did I get here!" Sophie shoutedShe checked herself and realized she was wearing Greg's shirt" What happened? Did you take advantage o
"I was enjoying life without you….. I went to a club for the first time today…. It was fun!" She said smiling" Really? " Greg asked looking at her" Yes. I drank and danced with…. with.. a guy" she said" I really enjoyed it" Sophie addedSophie suddenly turned her back to Greg and started demonstrating the way she danced at the club.She put both Greg's hands on her waist and started dancing….Greg's body reacted immediately and he got angry..No way she rocked another guy like that!Greg stopped her and made her face him, " What are you doing to me? You're doing this intentionally right? '' Greg asked already angry and frustrated from all that had happened" I'm going to make you fall for me" Sophie tiptoed and whispered into Greg's ear. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gently bit his ear.From his ear, she looked into Greg's eyes and drew him closer" What does she have that I don't?" Sophie asked, staring into Greg's eyes.Her question threw Greg off guard. He wasn't ex
From the moment the birthday party started, Greg's eyes were at the entrance. It was his birthday, yet he couldn't focus on the event. He had told Pete to inform Sophie about the party, everything Sophie told Pete that day, he heard everything.Greg knew the right thing to do was to personally invite her, but he couldn't bring himself to do that.Part of him still had hope Sophie would show up just like the way she did during his mom's birthday. His parents, Nana and Victoria were all present, they'd asked him about his wife, he lied to them she was busy with school and couldn't come.Rose has been by his side since the event started, Greg could hear side talks from his guests about them probably getting engaged today. He ignored it as his mind was somewhere else.The dinner was gradually coming to an end, yet there was no sign of Sophie. It was at that moment he realized Sophie really meant what she said. That realization made him angry, the thought that Sophie never rated him.It
General povSophie followed Diana and they made their way to the dance floor. They both started dancing immediately they got to the dance floor.Maybe it was because of the alcohol Sophie's system, she started getting more excited and her dancing became intense.Diana stopped dancing at one point and started making videos. Still dancing, Sophie felt somebody's hands on her waist. She looked back and realized it was a guy. She was too drunk to care and continued dancing." Sorry, we have to go. Sophie, let's go" Diana said to the guy dragging Sophie away from the guy. Sophie refused and continued dancing, but Diana dragged her forcefully out of the club.She knew Sophie was getting out of control. They both made their way outside the club. It was already late, They couldn't go back to the Dormitory. Diana booked a hotel while waiting for a car that would take both of them to the hotel.All through this, Sophie was drunk. She didn't know what she was doing or what was going on.Sh
