View MoreSOPHIA LANGFORD I was surprised to realise that Levi didn't go to work.. I mean, I heard no sounds of his car, not heard his commanding voice from outside and that only meant one thing – he didn't go anywhere. And since I was in my room, I had no idea what he was doing. A knock on my room door woke me from the short nap I decided to take after my conversation with Ellen and my munching on the plate of pasta the maids brought. “Uhm..?” I groaned from where I laid, wondering why my sleep was being interrupted. It was just 12pm and not lunchtime so it was definitely not the maids. The knock came around again but this time, it was with a voice. “Babe..” My eyes flung open immediately and expanded a bit. That was Levi!!!,.. While I felt pleased that he finally came around to check on me, I also felt quite surprised at his term of endearment. In a situation like this?.. and
SOPHIA LANGFORD “Ma’am?!” That sharp call snapped me out of my imagination and I jolted back to reality within a second. But everything suddenly seemed completely different. There was no sense of Levi's strong cologne anywhere anymore and his lips were no longer caged around mine. His arms weren't even around my waist anymore!.. It felt like he had faded into the thin air.. just now. No.. It can't be what I'm thinking right?.. The conversation and kiss I had with Levi just now wasn't an imagination right?.. That kiss wasn't imagined huh!!!! “Are you okay ma'am?” My stunned self landed it's gaze on the butler standing right infront of me and my eyes slowly widened more.. I actually bumped into him and started my imagination from there! Damn, that looked so real! “What do we call this too? A way to save someone from being thrown to juven
SOPHIA LANGFORD I really didn't leave my room throughout yesterday since I went in tears and I believe Levi wasn't bothered because he never came around to say anything or plant even a knock on my door to check how I was doing. Last night was a hurtful one. I literally cried for most of the night's hours, regretting my actions of laying with Ethan over and over again. There was no one to confide in except, my best friend, Ellen, but unfortunately, she wasn't online and even when I called, her line wasn't going through… “I need to take water" I thought, getting up from the bed and taking a swift glance at my very little baby bump which was exposed since I was just wearing a crop top. I'd actually changed into it last night because I suddenly got tired of my pyjamas.. Oh, I forgot I was pregnant. Yeah.. the nasty hormones that come with pregnancy. My eyes swiftly landed on the wall clock and I sighed, rememb
JESSICA FINN Boss's call had actually interrupted my thirty-minute break from the project I'd been working on all day. At first, I'd thought of ignoring the call and sending him a text like I usually did when resting but I just had a feeling that he was calling relating to the pregnancy matter I'd overheard that noon.. Was there anything Levi Banks keeps from his three-year secretary anyways?.. Oh yeah, he could hide what was going on from me but would assign me to some tasks that would give me hints about his decision and all.. …and if, just if I was interested in letting him tell me the truth, I could actually take advantage of a dull state of his to ask questions. I'd gained his trust to that level. “Abortion pills” I repeated for the seventh time since the call ended, walking back to my office. “You're not giving him that, are you?” my subconscious mind asked. “If she loses Ethan's baby, thei
ETHAN WESTON Just as I was heading home, Dad messaged me to come see him, and I had to reverse direction, driving out to the outskirts of the city where he lived. As usual, the neighbourhood was silent and empty, having no one loitering around unlike the street where I resided. I alighted from the car, walking in afterwards and just as I'd expected, he was right before the fireplace, glancing through a big book.. “The mighty death book.." I smirked, alerting him of my presence as I walked in. The book had existed for decades and he had always regarded it as ‘the death book’. No one, whose name gets into the book ever survives. No single person.. “What's so difficult about starting a conversation with a greeting word? Where the hell are your manners?” he took out his gun, aiming for my leg. “Seriously?" I scoffed, staring at his fingers right on the trigger. I lowered my butt to the couch
LEVI BANKS If someone had told me a situation like this would arise, I wouldn't have believed it. Of all the men in the world, how could Ethan be the one responsible for Sophia's pregnancy? My mind was reeling. It all made sense now - no wonder the in vitro fertilization Jace and I had attempted didn't work out! Her pleas and teary eyes were enough to melt my heart but the thought that she won't be able to carry my own child secretly as I'd planned without aborting the current pregnancy was annoying… Wait, that wasn't even the most annoying thing.. The fact that having a child for Ethan is a big threat to my inauguration is worse!! “You are getting rid of that pregnancy, I won't allow you to keep the bastard!” my anger made me aggressive despite how badly I wanted to help her up and apologise. “It wasn't my fault, I was only helping dad.” those words of hers wouldn't stop ringing in my ears but honestly, that d
SOPHIA LANGFORD Levi's swift exit from the office followed closely on the heels of Ethan's departure. His face was totally twisted in anger and not even for once did he utter a word, leaving me too uneasy to attempt a conversation.How could I, anyways?..After all I'd just caused..I cried out my eyes for what seemed like forever in his office before heading out, feeling so scared even to go home.I was a rented bride right, but Levi had been a good husband since our wedding and now a damn pregnancy for his worst enemy is coming up..This shouldn't be happening now..“Boss ordered that all cars be taken home, how do you intend to leave?” Jessica asked as I got out of the office.I'd actually avoided bumping into her just now. It wasn't work's closing hour yet so there were still workers around.“Miss Jessica.." I tried to smile, bowing gently. Crazy right?.. but I really still do respect her since she interviewed and chose me as Levi's rented bride..I'd become used to it.“You hav
ETHAN WESTON If there's anything I'd always been looking forward to, that would be being on the winning side and having Levi at my feet's level always..This was just a big discovery to take advantage of!...I wasn't married, everyone knew that but damn, I had an unborn child!..Levi's wife was carrying my baby!!Could anything be more satisfying than that??..Absolutely no!..“You're carrying my seed.." I repeated, intentionally wanting to provoke Levi more and more.Oh heavens..I've always loved moments like this!“Levi, I can explain, listen to me..” I heard Sophia say breathlessly while Levi's expression still had shock on it.“The result isn't mine, I swear” she kept insisting and I smirked.“Apparently, it's yours. The name is printed in block letters, dear baby mama” I smiled knowingly.She immediately turned to me with glassy eyes..“I never willingly slept with you! You gave the option and I agreed to save my father from going to jail since he couldn't pay his debts!" Her
SOPHIA LANGFORD “She never told you?.. We got intimate two months ago..” Ethan grinned and Levi's eyes widened even more.. The only wish I had at that moment was for the ground to open up and take me in but unfortunately, it seemed impossible.It's hard surface still remained that way under my feet.I gave my lips a hard bite as Levi's gaze landed on me again. I was doomed, I knew it. “Coincidences are indeed crazy.." Ethan's mutter came alongside a chuckle.That damn chuckle was heavily weighty in mockery and creepiness. It defined a million things..“Two months ago..” Levi repeated in a cold whisper and I shivered as those amber eyes darkened..I doubt if he had ever been like this since we got married. His expression demanded that I look into his eyes and tell him things weren't true, but how was I supposed to do that when the truth had already morphed into a haunting refrain in my ears – ‘I slept with his rival to pay my father's debt and now I'm pregnant..Oh heavens, this
•SOPHIA LANGFORD• Since I got into my twenties, struggles had become an unwelcome companion, always walking with me like it was my shadow.How unpleasant!I'd become a regular job seeker and a desperate first-born, trying everything I can do to pay bills at home..‘My company is bankrupt, I served you for twenty years, it's time to do the same!’That was dad's usual anthem to me for three years.Sighs..The doctor's words rang in my ears as I entered the street where my house was located, feeling so exhausted due to the long distance from the hospital while the sun kept setting above me.“Ms. Sophia, I'm afraid, we might have to stop all treatments for your mother if you refuse to pay the necessary outstanding bills as early as possible and I'm sure you know what that means. You have a few days grace please.”Those words seemed like a haunting refrain but as I got closer to our poorly designed house, I heard different dreadful words.“How long will it take you, Ford?..” a voice yell...
