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
" You literally came out naked this morning in front of the whole family, now this?" He continued" What does my dressing have to do with you?" I asked " It has everything to do with me because you're my wife!" He said coldly" So what? Is it your body? I can wear whatever I like" I responded backGreg smirked at my last statement. He gently walked inside the house, I took a step backward trying to avoid him. The more I did, the more he came closer." Did you just say your body? It became mine when I married you!" He said calmly with a wicked grin on his faceI didn't know what to say. I avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere. It was at that moment I heard Victoria clear her throat. We both looked at her Direction. "Hi, sorry for disturbing you guys, I'll take my leave now" she said and walked towards the door with her dress." Sophie, call me when you guys are done" she said and closed the door.Greg and I were the only ones Left in the room. He gave me the box he came with." Wear
The Williams Event hall was used for the birthday party. Victoria and I only had to walk to the venue since it was closer. Victoria has not stopped teasing me about what transpired between her brother and I earlier. " You guys look like you did something after I left" Victoria said trying to get me to talk" Did what?" I asked" What couples do" she said smiling" We didn't do anything Vic" I saidWe arrived at the venue and sat where family members were seated. The celebrant, Greg's mom, really looked beautiful. When it comes to fashion, you have to give it up to her. Her silver dress stood out in the hall. You'd know she's the celebrant at a glance.The interior decorations, the food and Everything screams class. I made my way to where Nana was, I greeted her and went back to my seat. I made sure I picked a seat at the back to avoid unnecessary attention. I still felt like a stranger amongst the Willams. My phone Rang and it was Diana. " Hey babe" I said" How's the party goi
Outside the hall, we stopped at the back of the hall that was quiet. " Before you start saying anything, I'm married" I told him straight up " Oh….. well, it doesn't matter" he said trying to move closer" It matters to me" I said moving backward" I've been involved with married women and Nothing happened," he said, looking at my lips. He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.Knowing he'd pull something like that judging by how he has literally been using his eyes to undress me, with all the strength in me, I struggled and removed my hand from his grip and ran from his presence.I immediately made my way back to the hall and went back to where I was seated. The event was finally coming to an end.None of the faces I knew were in the hall including Greg. Some minutes later, I saw Vic come to where I was surprised." You've been here all along? My brother has been looking for you." Looking for me? Why?" I asked surprised" I don't know, but he looked angry," she said." Go
" I have somewhere important to go right now" Greg lied" Okay" Rose said, she suddenly moved closer to him and pecked him,she then quickly left.After she left, Greg entered the car and started the car.I stood up from where I knelt down and sat down quietly.Why did I hide? I am his wife, yet I'm hiding as if I was caught cheating. They hugged for five minutes? He enjoyed hugging her to last that long? WowThroughout the ride, no one said anything to each other. 40 minutes later, we arrived at the mansion. It was already very late when we arrived at the mansion. Immediately he parked, I opened the door and entered the house. As I was making my way to my room, I heard him call my name"Sophie, wait, we have to talk" I stopped walking and contemplated on going back to talk or not.I decided to go and hear whatever he has to say. " Why did you disgrace me in front of my family?" That was the first question he asked on getting to where he was. I sat down on the cushion since I wa
I knew I shouldn't have asked such a question because I knew he was sober. I still asked regardless just to be sure.Still deep in my thoughts, I heard fast footsteps. When I looked up it was Greg, " How did you know about Lily?" He asked coming closer with his face red from anger." You did" I replied honestly" When? I don't remember discussing about my past with you" he said" It was the night you got drunk, where your friends brought you home. You mistook me for Lily that night" I replied without telling him about the kiss.He was quiet for some minutes," This should be the last time I hear you mention her name" he warned me and left. Some minutes later, I heard the sound of his car leaving the house. I guess I'd be the only one sleep in this big house tonight.I freshened up and went to bed. The stress from the past few days was still in my body. It didn't take up to five minutes before I finally slept.The following morning, i woke up late. I only had 45 minutes before my fl
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
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
" 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
