Sophie's povAfter I was done feeding him, I carried the plates and left the room. I saw his gaze following him but I ignored it.In the kitchen, while I was washing the dishes, I couldn't stop thinking about everything I did earlier."Sophie you have gone too far" I thoughtMy phone rang and it was Diana." Hi Sophie" she said on the other lineShe asked me about the trip and how Greg was doing. I replied to her and told her what transpired between us and how I had done too much.Diana couldn't stop laughing." You tried, you even did more than expected, girl. " She commended me" You think so?"She assured me that everything I did was fine. After talking for a while, we bidded each other bye and hung up. I was already done washing the dishes, so I made my way towards Greg's room. Before I opened the door, I sighed before finally entering his room. I thought he was already sleeping, so I laid on the left side of his bed where he was facing with his eyes already closed. As I lay on
At the realization of what I had done, I knew I had gone overboard. Rather than admit what I had done, what I did next surprised me. I didn't know I could act like that! " Hmnnn… hmmmm…" I said scratching my head pretending to be sleep talking and wasn't aware of my surrounding. After I had done that, I pretended to go back to sleep while muttering rubbish I myself didn't understand.I could see Greg confused at what just happened. I smiled under the duvet and was embarrassed at same time. I was quite happy with the stunt I just pulled, it would save me from explanation and embarrassment later. After thinking for a while, I slept off.In the morning, I woke up to sounds coming from downstairs. I sat up on the bed and realized Greg wasn't on the bed.Wait, that voice sounds like Rose's own. I quickly went to Greg's closet and wore his robe from last night. My my hair still disheavealed, I went out of the room. There's no way I'd let her have her way!" Who is she to you? You said
After the call, I took a shower and freshened up. After I was done, I brought out some of my assignments and started working on them.When I checked the time later, two hours had gone already. I stood up from Greg's study space and went downstairs to prepare lunch for him. I hadn't left the room before it crossed my mind that Greg hadn't taken his morning medication. I went towards his shelf by the bed and saw his medicine there. It was where it was yesterday, he hadn't touched it I took the medications and went downstairs. Greg was seated on the sofa still working on his laptop! " You know you should be resting," I said, walking towards him.He didn't reply" You didn't take your medication this morning, you've not rested since" I said to himI was met with great silence. He continued with whatever he was doing on his laptop. I left him and headed towards the kitchen. I made lunch for both of us. After I was done, I walked towards where he was and informed him about lunch. He st
" But, you can go out with other women?" I asked looking at him" You have no right to question me. I'm warning you, don't test my patience" he said and left." I'm going to do whatever I like. Just so you know, Sheila is starting on Monday" I said behind him making my way to my room too.He suddenly stopped walking and replied, " I'm not responsible for her or her salary, you take care of that since you're capable" he said and leftHe knew I couldn't afford it. What's with him and his ego? Wouldn't it be beneficial to him if she starts working? I went back to my room and went straight to bed. I have a flight tomorrow afternoon.The following morning, I woke up late. I rushed downstairs to prepare Greg's food. I quickly prepared something very light. I went to his room to inform him about breakfast. I knocked the first time, he didn't answer. I knocked the second time, while waiting for his reply, the door suddenly opened." What is it?" He asked, still in his pajamas and dark circ
I became mute. His eyes were cold and serious, I knew if I didn't clean it, he'd do it with his lips.Pete cleared his throat noticing the tension between us. None of us paid him no heed because we were in our own world. I gently and obediently brought out my napkin and cleaned everything. After I was done, I gently asked," Can I leave now?"He didn't say anything, he just smiled and moved back to his seat.I accepted his silence as a yes.Wanting to leave his dominating presence, I quickly opened the door, my legs haven't touched the ground before I heard ,"Wait, and close the door" he said with a commanding toneI didn't know what to do between coming down from his car or just waiting like he said. While I was contemplating on what to do, he added" I know you don't want the whole school to know I'm your husband. If you don't close the door like I said, don't be surprised at what I would do next" he said with his tone domineering without a glance towards my direction. I obedientl
Greg's povSophie is making me lose my mind. Why would she care whether have eaten after the stunt she pulled earlier?She walked out on me, now she wants to be the caring wife? She knew I was sick but she left me alone because of Tony. I don't even understand myself anymore, I think I'm losing it. All these started that night when I kissed her.I woke up that night and saw her sleeping face closer to mine. I looked at her face down to her brows and lashes. "She caused me trouble earlier, now she's sleeping peacefully" I thoughtMy gazed moved to her lips and I couldn't take my eyes off it, felt a nudge in my body and without thinking, I moved closer and kissed her, I thought I was going to stop at a light peck, my body wanted more. I left my mind and followed what my body wanted. I continued to kiss her till I saw her slowly opening her eyes. Caught in the act, I immediately got back to my senses and tried pull back, I didn't know when she pulled me back and kissed me back. For th
Sophie's povIt's been three weeks since I last heard from Greg till today when I received his text about his mother's birthday. I got the same message from his sister Victoria. I knew I had to go since it was on a weekend, but I knew I wouldn't go with Greg.I asked Victoria where she was, and luckily for me, she had a photoshoot for one of her models in Bellaris country. I asked for us to go together which she readily agreed to.On Friday afternoon, we met at the airport and left for Annex city. When we arrived, it was late already. When Victoria drove inside their compound, we saw a car drive in too. And the person was no other than Rose! What a coincidence!I told Victoria I'd Meet her inside and carried my bag from her boot. Rose walked up to where I was and asked,"Why are you here?""Same reason you're here" I answered and leftImmediately I entered, the first person my eyes focused on what the person I called my husband. He didn't realize my presence and was focused on his fo
What? When did he get here? So, he had been listening to my conversation with Diana? I thought"It's none of your business" I repliedI didn't know with my reply, I just woke up the beast in him "Stand up" he commanded" Who are you to tell me what to do?" I replied with my voice getting a bit loud." Go and meet her, she's waiting for you and leave me alone" I said and looked over where she was seated and realized she was already sleeping.To my surprise, Greg carried me in a bridal style and took me to his room. In his room, he dropped me and I was now standing. He walked closer to me, I walked backwards trying to put a distance between us. He was furious." You'll answer any question I ask you right now" he demanded" Where did he touch you?" "He…. It's..none of your business" I replied stubbornlyHe punched the wall behind meBefore he could say anything else, I quickly replied truthfully" He… hugged me from behind" I stuttered seeing his eyes red from anger. I've never seen
" 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
