Sonia“That b*tvh!” I cussed under my breath as I rolled my eyes after I was pushed out of the store.Freya just crossed a line she shouldn’t have dared move close to. I just couldn’t believe she would embarrass me like that, and she didn't even stop there. She chose that stupid ugly Victor over me…Well… he’s not ugly, if anything, he’s so handsome and the sex? It was f*cking good. It was so good that I was going to do it again and again, but then, 'smart pants Dennis' caught me and I just had to change the narrative to suit myself. I sacrificed sex for money, and it was worth it though. Victor cowardly bowed to our requests, and we cashed out big…It was almost a minute and Freya was still inside. Says a lot! She’s not coming. She lied. I took my phone, swiped a couple of times and in no time, a car pulled over beside me and I hopped in.“Take me to the Meridian hotel!” I said to the driver and then leaned back, making sure to replay the scene at the store over and over again. I d
SoniaThe more I thought about what just happened, the angrier I got. I just couldn’t believe Dennis could treat me like that. He didn’t only yell at me, he asked me to leave his place. This was the same Dennis who never wants me to leave his presence. We always want to be around each other. Even when he had to move in with Freya, it was a hassle. I was the one who motivated him and made him focus on the goal. And now, he doesn’t want me around anymore. Thinking deeply about it all, I could only come up with one thing. Dennis was starting to have feelings for Freya. I’d noticed for a while now that he had started getting jealous, thinking she was cheating on him since she wouldn’t beg for his attention anymore. This just confirmed my assumptions, and sooner or later he would definitely bail on our plans and betray me. Not that I was really pained about losing the money. Freya’s money is only little compared to Jeff’s and I have him hooked right where I want him. He spends on me wi
VictorSpending the day with Freya and Stacey was the best decision I’ve made in a while. On my way to the store, I was having second thoughts. I wasn’t sure if Freya would appreciate me showing up without notice and also, I’d abandoned loads of work at the office and I kept thinking if it was worth it. Thinking about the amount of fun I had, it was worth every second. Stacey kept teasing me every chance she got but, thankfully, Freya was there to always refute the claims… I slammed the bedroom door shut, dumped my things on the bed and went straight into the bathroom. I stood under the shower and just enjoyed myself as the warm water washed over me. I finally stepped out, grabbed a towel and walked into the room naked. My phone was ringing. It was one of the security guys that I hired to keep watch on Sonia and Dennis at the hotel. Freya seemed to underestimate the lengths those two could go just to ruin her, but I wasn't going to sit around and let that happen. That was why I h
DennisAfter Sonia left, I hopped in the shower and had a long cold shower. My mind wasn’t on the s*x I just had, I only pretended to be into it because of Sonia. She would have noticed my wandering mind and I couldn’t let that happen since I didn’t have an explanation for why I was feeling that way. I tried to figure it out too, but nothing came up. All I know is it started the moment we found out Victor and Freya had been entangled in the past.Freya had the chance to be married to one of the richest and eligible bachelors in this city, and she turned it down. She chose me and now that she thinks I’m cheating, she might actually give it a rethink. No… she isn’t giving it a rethink, she had decided to give it a try. How else would they be going out together? Why do I care though? That was the problem I had yet to solve. I have Sonia. We’re married and I love her so much. I don’t care about Freya, all I want is her money, so I can give her the best life… and maybe our kids if we e
FreyaVictor tasted like my favorite ice-cream. Strawberry. His lips were soft, and I didn't mind getting drowned in him. I knew it wasn’t right. Kissing him. I shouldn’t be doing it, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop either. It had been so long since I felt this way, since I had been kissed so gently and passionately and every second got me deeper. My head screamed at me to stop but the feelings surging in my belly kept me there… until I felt his hand travel down my arms to my lower back and then, before it landed on my butt, I suddenly felt the strength to pull back.I was back to my senses, though I was gasping for breath too, I had been too drowned in his sweetness.“What did we just do? We shouldn’t have done that. I’m so sorry, I should have…”“But I’m not sorry…” he suddenly cut in sharply, shutting me off and making me stare deep into his eyes.What did he mean? “I mean, yes… of course, I shouldn’t have come at you all of a sudden, and I’m sorry for that. But I’m not sorry
Dennis“Hey, I’m at the door…” Mia’s voice sounded over the phone just before she hung up.I got up, hurried to the door and opened it while she strolled in, with a naughty smile plastered across her face. “That was fast. I wasn’t expecting you for another five minutes.” I let out as I closed the door and then turned back to find her naked.Mia had stripped naked and not even her lingerie was left on her body. It was all bare for my eyes to feed on.“Like what you see?” She asked when she saw my mouth opened and my eyes glued on her body.She always wore tight dresses that hugged every curve in her body, so I always knew she had a great body. I just never imagined it would look like what was standing before me. She was a beautiful work of art. To think I was having a rethink before she arrived. Sonia had crossed my mind as I pulled into the hotel, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do that to her. I changed my mind and was going to call things off with Mia just as she arrived. I had
SoniaA broad smile lined my face as the plane touched down in Atlanta. My heart raced a bit as I thought about what Jeff’s reaction would be when he sees me. I kept this a secret from him until the last minute. Not like I wanted to though, Dennis had pissed me off, and I needed to get away from him to clear my head. It wasn’t until the last minute when I was about boarding that I called Jeff. He was surprised but also happy, especially since he had asked me to come pay him a visit, but I came up with an excuse.“Are you sure you're okay with it?” I asked, pretending like I was okay to cancel if he didn't want it.“Of course, babe. Don’t worry about anything. I’ve got it all handled.” Hearing him say that floored me. Talk about a man being so intentional about his woman.True to his word, the moment I stepped off the plane, a polished black town car was waiting for me, the driver holding a sign with my name. My surprise turned into wonder as I sank into the luxurious leather seats. T
FreyaMy night was longer than usual. It felt like it was never going to end, as I found it so hard to find sleep. After the tense kiss Victor and I shared, my head and heart started conflicting with each other. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the whole thing. I thought it was all gone after the cold face wash that made me sleep right off, but then, I woke up thinking it was morning, only to find out I had only slept for three minutes.“Just three minutes!” I had screamed and then buried my face in the pillow, which muffled my scream. For about an hour, I lay there and stared blankly at the roof. Falling in love with Victor was a bad idea… not like bad, bad, but it would definitely make me lose focus. I tend to do that when I’m in love. That’s why my past relationships always ended in my heart getting broken. It’s the same thing that happened with Dennis. I was too in love to notice the big red flag he was wrapped in. I just wanted to love and be loved in return…After tossing
FreyaI made sure to leave the office an hour early. I didn’t want to keep Adrian waiting. That was one of my unwritten rules, never keep a client waiting and, apart from that not being a good look on me. I like to get to a meeting venue earlier so I can put things in place and be sure there are no mistakes that could ruin things for me and the company. As I stepped into the elegant fine dining restaurant, the aroma of rich spices and freshly baked bread filled the air. My heels clicked softly against the marble floor as I did a quick scan of the place and I was impressed. A polite young waiter greeted me with a warm smile."Good evening, ma'am. Do you have a reservation?" he asked.I smiled back. "Actually, I'd like to speak with the manager, please."The waiter’s expression shifted to curiosity but maintained professionalism. "Of course, ma'am. Please follow me."I was led to a secluded area near the bar, and within moments, the manager appeared. He was a tall, middle-aged man with
FreyaMy favorite song was on repeat while I sang along and pretended the steering wheel was my drum. I was in such a good mood, the mood has registered with me ever since I put Sonia in her place at the dinner last night. And then the huge deal with Adrian made it so worthwhile. I just couldn’t get over the feeling, it was so exciting. I could barely wait till I got home to share the news with Victor. The moment the car pulled in front of the house, I made straight for the front door, ran upstairs and immediately called Victor. He listened patiently while I narrated with much excitement. When I finally finished, he revealed how proud he was of me and I couldn’t stop blushing. He was even prouder about the Sonia part. Though, he wished I had shamed her even more, but he was still impressed with the little I did. He had hinted at how he would have wickedly embarrassed her so much that she wouldn’t show her face in front of a man for months. When he said that, I laughed so much till my
SoniaI walked out of that event hall with my head held high. Not because I wasn’t shaken. Not because I wasn’t furious. But because I had to. I had to at least pretend I had control over the situation, even when my entire world had just come crashing down on me. Inside, I wanted to scream. To jump at Freya and dig my fingers into every corner of her face. But more than that, I wanted to undo what just happened. Adrian was supposed to be mine. That has been the plan ever since I sighted him at the store and walked up to him. I have spent every hour since then playing my part perfectly. Laughing at all his jokes, pretending to be fascinated by his boring business talk, wearing the exact type of dress I knew would tickle his fancy, touching him just enough to keep him wanting more but never giving in completely. It was all working. I knew it was working. Until stupid Freya decided to play the saint and ruin it all. I can’t even believe the speed with which she opened her mouth, and
FreyaI had never been more satisfied in my life. Standing there, watching Sonia’s entire new world crumble right before my eyes, was a moment I would never forget. She must have put a lot of effort into starting all over again with a new naive billionaire bjt I had just ruined all that for her. The way her smile faltered. The way the blood drained from her face. The way her fingers twitched, like she was scrambling for a way out but knew there was none. She had been exposed. And by the way Adrian’s entire demeanor changed, the flicker of realization in his sharp eyes, the disgust settling in his expression, it was clear that whatever web of lies she had spun around him had just snapped. Sonia must have felt it too because, in an instant, she switched tactics. “Adrian, baby, whatever she said…” she started, reaching for his arm. “Don’t touch me.” His voice was cold. Unforgiving. Sonia froze, her hand hovering in mid-air before she let it drop, looking up at him with wid
Sonia“Alrighty… I’ll be right here.” I said to Adrian while he left to briefly see one of his colleagues. As I watched him get mixed up in the crowd. I finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Ever since we stepped into the hall, it has been one introduction after the other. I liked it though, especially because he was so proud of being seen with a beautiful damsel like me. I enjoyed the attention too, the lingering effect I had on them all. “Oh my goodness, why didn’t I even think about this?” I thought to myself as I scanned the whole place again. It was full of billionaires, men with wealth and power. I should have invested more in getting myself into places like this instead of getting stuck on Dennis, whose first instinct was to betray me in the face of trouble.I mean, who does that? It’s not his fault anyway. I clearly wasted my time with the wrong man. Just imagine Adrian, his girlfriend doesn’t even have to do much, and he wouldn’t think twice before getting her the whole u
Freya I was untying my robe, ready to step into the shower, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and immediately smiled seeing Victor’s face.Without wasting a second, I answered, my voice soft and teasing. “Missing me already?” The second I saw his face on the screen, though, my teasing smile faltered. His expression was tense, his brows pulled together in a way that told me something was off. I straightened up. “What’s wrong?” Victor let out a small sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. “The meeting got extended.” I blinked. “Extended?” He nodded, looking visibly frustrated. “Yeah. It was supposed to wrap up today, but there are still some loose ends to tie up. I won’t be able to leave first thing in the morning like we planned.” He let out a rough sigh. “I hate this. I want to be there with you.” I couldn’t help but smile at how sincere he sounded. “Victor, it’s fine.” I tilted my head, trying to reassure him. “It’s just a day or two, right? You’ll get everything don
Sonia“I don’t want to take up too much of your time,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I just wanted to make sure you got home safely.” He finally found his voice after furrowing his brows in hesitation as he considered my offer. I smiled sweetly, tilting my head just a bit. “Oh, come on. It’s just a glass of juice. Five minutes, tops.” I let out a soft laugh. “Unless you’re worried I’ll poison you?” He chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s not it.” “Then what?” I pouted playfully. “You did something nice for me today. Let me return the favor, even if it’s just with a simple drink.” I could see the internal debate happening behind his eyes, but I knew I had him. Finally, with a small sigh, he nodded. “Alright. But just for a bit.” I grinned. “Great! Come on in.” I led him inside, making sure to sway my hips just enough to keep his eyes on me. Once inside, I gestured toward the couch. “Make yourself comfortable.” He looked around briefly before settling into the plus
SoniaAs I stepped into the store, I barely spared a glance at the bright fluorescent lights or the soft hum of customers moving around me. My focus was entirely on getting my groceries and getting out.Not that I particularly enjoyed shopping for basic necessities. No, I hated it. It reminded me of how low I had sunk, how far I had fallen from the life I once had. The life where I could walk into high-end boutiques and splurge on designer bags without batting an eye. But now? Now, I was stuck here, clutching my nearly empty wallet and calculating every single item I picked up like some desperate, broke girl. I sucked in a sharp breath, trying not to let my irritation show as I scanned the price tags. Every single one seemed to mock me. A box of cereal was enough to take out a chunk of what little I had left. A bottle of milk? That’s practically robbery. A muscle in my jaw ticked as I stared at my basket, already feeling the heavy weight of frustration settle in my chest. This
SoniaI sat on the couch in my tiny, almost-suffocating apartment, my nails tapping impatiently against the armrest. The cheap fabric scratched against my skin. Of course, it was manageable, but it was such a far cry from the luxurious furniture I once lounged on without a care. My phone screen lit up with another failed call attempt. Blocked.I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to throw the damn thing across the room. Dennis had completely shut me out. No texts, no calls, no way of reaching him. I let out a bitter laugh. After everything I did for him. After all the times I had his back, all the times I fought for him, lied for him, gave up my damn dignity for him… this is how he repays me? I even went against my best friend and this is all I get in return? He’s treating me like I’m nothing. Like I never even mattered. The worst part? I knew Dennis. I knew how his mind worked. He wasn’t avoiding me because he felt guilty. Dennis never felt guilt. No, he was staying away bec
