Sonia“That’s my heir growing inside of you, and I’m going to take responsibility for it so you have nothing to worry about.” He said and then stood up to kiss me.I smiled lightly, curving my lips like I wasn’t fully convinced yet.“What is it? You look like you still have some things on your mind. Don’t tell me you’re doubting me, are you?” He quizzed while I threw my shoulders up.“Honestly, I don’t know what to think. We haven’t even been together that long, and you know… you’re…”“Rich? Is that what you’re worried about? My wealth? Status?” He pressed further while I nodded slowly.“So what? You’d prefer it if I weren’t rich. How then would I be able to take care of you and the baby?” “That’s not what I mean, Jeff. Of course, I’m glad you’re rich. It’s just that we’re on different levels, and I’m not sure if I fit in your world. I know how messy it gets when the family gets to know… and then the public? They are going to eat me alive. I’m just so confused, I don’t know what to d
SoniaI woke up to Jeff’s gentle kiss on my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes and saw him close to me and staring sweetly into my eyes.“Morning, beautiful…” he let out gently while I pushed out a blush.“Good morning, handsome.” I replied.He grabbed my hand and started rubbing my ring finger. I looked at him, smiling and wondering what was happening.“What is it? What’s on your mind?” I finally asked.“Marry me, Sonia. I want you all to myself, I want to be able to call you mine confidently.” He let out.“But I am yours already, and you can call me yours confidently.” I smiled when I saw the look on his face. I had thought I could smartly change the topic and avoid his question, but he seemed to have caught on my trick.“I will marry you, Jeff. After the baby comes, ask me again, and I won’t hesitate to say yes.” He smiled when I said this and then kissed me.He turned to the side, grabbed his phone and then passed it to me.“My agent got back to me this morning with some available
Victor“Get me some coffee, Tasha.” I said to my housekeeper, who nodded immediately and walked away.I crashed into the sofa and started scrolling through my phone. I had taken some pictures of Freya when she wasn’t looking, but she later caught me though. She asked me to delete them but seeing the way she blushed, I knew her heart wanted something else.I didn’t delete them and even begged her to take a few more. She only posed for a picture and I didn’t want to seem too much so I let her be.After my driver took her home, I stared at the picture before hopping into my car and coming home too.Ever since then, I have been stuck on those pictures. I stare at them every five minutes, smile and imagine things in my head.“Here, Sir.” Tacha said as she laid the tray on the table and left.I took a few sips before my mind drifted back to thoughts of Freya. That was the first time in a long while that I felt that way about a woman.“What’s happening to you, Victor? Seems you’re in love?”
Freya“Heyy Stacey…” I let out as I dumped the grocery bags I was carrying on the counter.“How are you doing today? I've been meaning to call you since you left yesterday, but I've been really busy. I just kept going from a patient to the other till it skipped my mind. It was late in the night when I got home that I remembered, but I didn't want to call then. It was already late, and I thought you'd be sleeping already.” she explained while I put her on speaker, so I could sort out the groceries.“Ohhh… I actually wish I was sleeping then. Maybe I won't be going over this again like it's some fresh wound,” I retorted.“Whats the matter? Is it Dennis or Sonia? Talk to me, what's going on?” she pressed desperately.“Yesterday, when I left your place, I went to sort out some things with Victor, and we decided to go out for lunch afterward. It was so much fun and the time ran by very quickly. I got home and could you believe that Dennis was waiting to confront me!”“What??” she exclaimed
FreyaI felt my heart tighten in my chest as I watched with horror, my fiancé and my best friend having sex in the hotel. They were so engrossed and couldn’t even care less that they were half naked and anyone who cared, could see them from the glass wall of the building’s fourth floor. Sonia was pressed to the wall while Dennis worked her insides from behind. I couldn’t hear her moans but with every second that I imagined it, my heart sank the more.Tears flooded my face as I flashed into the last two years of my life when I met Dennis. He was everything I wanted and more. Tall, handsome, broad shoulders and chest, I couldn’t stop drooling as he pulled me into a hug. For a moment there, my heart forgot how to beat, and the moment he smiled and introduced himself, I knew I was going to marry him. I had fallen hard in love with him.Before then, Dennis and I had been talking online for two months. Sonia matchmade us, and though I didn’t want another relationship at the time, she had co
FreyaI felt a stray tear trickle down my face.I was still sitting on the bed in my lingerie while Dennis snored away. I looked at the gift box in my hand, and another tear came running. That was all I was worth. A gift to shut me from using my head.I pulled the ribbon and opened it. It was a necklace. A diamond necklace. It must have cost him a fortune. My fortune. Five hours ago, it would have meant the world to me and I would have sneaked into the bathroom to sing his praises to Sonia, and thank her for giving me the best man, Dennis. She would have smiled and pretended to have my back.Ohh Freya, what a fool you have been.I was still wallowing in self-pity when his phone beeped. For the first time in our relationship, I felt the urge to check it. I gently reached into his pocket and took it. It was Sonia and I wasn’t surprised.“Why aren’t you picking up? Are you home yet?” with so much anger, I went through his text messages, desperate to find something to prove his cheating a
Victor"This way then, my queen." I said to Freya with a gentle smile, while I held out my hand and saw her off to the car.I stood there, watching till her car was out of sight. I could literally taste the joy in my throat. I had been waiting for her for so long, and it had been so painful watching her love the wrong person who didn’t love her.Right from the first time I set my eyes on Freya, I wanted her. She had dreamy blue eyes, while her lush hair bounced over her shoulders. Her makeup was light, but it complimented her face and her beauty made those billboard models look like novices.“That’s my girl…” I had said to myself as I stared at the picture on her page over and over.When I finally peeled my eyes from my phone screen, I called my private investigator to run a quick search on her.We were supposed to meet on a blind date, but she stood me up. That was a first. No woman had ever done that.Abandon me on a date? Me? Victor Maddox, the handsome billionaire heir.Women floc
FreyaThroughout the drive back home, my mind was blank. I intentionally forced myself not to think. I know how carried away I get when my mind is shuffling through thoughts. I almost drove myself into an accident when I was going earlier. I’m not going to do that to myself again this time.Kill myself over a man who doesn’t give a f*ck about me and busy screwing my best friend?Best friend? Really? How could you still be calling that back-biting b*tch ass wh*re your best friend? - a thought rose in my head.I took in a deep breath and then let it out slowly as I blanked out my mind. I pulled into the driveway and then went into the house.I was sleek and quiet, making sure not to wake him up.Watching him snore away like his life depended on it, I was filled with rage again. I grabbed my pillow and for a second there, I felt the urge to stifle the life out of him with the pillow… but I didn’t.Instead, I curled into his arms and pretended like nothing happened. He pulled me in closer
