View MoreSophia's POVTheo clenched his fist and turned around, his eyes were both balling with rage and calmness. "And why do you think the nature of your sickness could be something paramount to the extent that you think of killing yourself? Consider the emotions of people who care about you.." And then his eyelids lowered, weighed with anxiousness. "Are you that scared? I will be with you throughtout the process. I promise" "I am sorry if I made you mad" I apologized. "I don't want to call the doctor yet" He gave in to cowardness "I will show you something better. What would you love to eat?Any cravings?" His eyes sparkled with eagerness. "Nothing" I sighed. I was expecting him to disagree, but he dashed out and a few minutes later, my former colleagues walked in one after the other to apologize for contributing to the rumors on the internet.A senior V.I.P doctor also walked in to remove the drip on me also apologize on the nurses behalf because their profe
Sophia's POVEven though my eyes feels blurry, I mustered the little strenght in me and stretch out my hands wide before bouncing on the man who had made me worried sick even in my sleep. "What took you so long?" I whined like a baby as I squeeze myself in his warm embrace, sniffing his cologne.Theo stiffened before relaxing in my touch. He immediately wrap his muscular arms around my body, softly caressing my head with his sharp jaw. He sighed in relief because he wasn't expecting my soft gesture.I was so small compared to his gigantic size, "I am damned for you, Sophia. I used bringing your phone as an excuse to see you. I couldn't think of sleeping at night and at wee hours, I ended up in my jet on my way here. The next time you find me in a situation where I claim to be angry at you, hold me tight, baby. It's all lies. I can't get you out of my mind." He confessed, tighting his arms around me.I smiled when an amazement sound erupted from the street gossipers. Some were even che
Sophia's POV"I can't recall you properly proposing to me and I accepted for you to claim me as yours. I was never yours to begin with, Mr. Andrew" I disagreed, my heart crumbling into tiny pieces at my statements."Is it because I was drugged and I ended up in your bed? Surely, I didn't regret that moment, but it still doesn't change the fact that you are not mine. If you are capable of treating a woman with your child this way, do you think you won't do worse when your so called feelings for me begin to eradicate? " I find it difficult to catch my breath as a lump forms in my throat."Are you sure you wouldn't regret this decision of yours? It's better you stay for the night and think about it? You only heard, there is no evidence" Theo's voice was barely above a whisper, so vulnerable, revealing a depth of emotion he has never shown before.I felt guilty with the way his eyes softened, communicating with me in a miserable manner to trust and understand him, but my self-doubt surpas
Sophia's POV My eyes slowly fluttered open, they were met with a warm sunlight that perched through the skylights windows. As my gaze observes my surroundings, I gradually begin to adapt. I felt dehydrated like I was in a vegetative state for a long time. With each breath I took, my senses flashed to my last encounter, like a puzzle slowly coming together, piece by piece. I sighed in relief at the thought that none of my vicious step-brothers are alive to torment me. I felt no sympathy for them because of the amount of life they had destroyed, including the ladies they had sexually mishandled, raped and trafficked. The world would rejoice at their downfall. They had reached their end through a ruthless person by the name Theodore. I am so proud of him. I could recall wanting to go back to my usual life before the kidnapping , but at the moment, a part of me felt eager to be in his life. Besides, he is my first sexual partner, and he is willing to take our
Sophia's POV I puffed out continuously to lessen the nagging distress on every part of my sore body. I had to act smartly before I would be disgraced, but the physical pain I was experiencing at the moment surpassed the emotional discomfort as I assumed that my embarrassing video in the bathroom from the previous night was probably the trending on the internet. Granny Andrews stopped screaming, and it gave me the opportunity to think properly. I managed to crawl to the edge of the mattress and pick up my neatly folded dress. I cautiously clothed myself and slowly moved out of the bed, but my eyes caught the wide covered tray of food on the bedside table, with a tiny piece of paper pinned under it.I limped towards it and unfold the paper, "I left your side exactly at 3:00 PM." My eyes widened in shock as it tossed to the clock, it was currently 6:30 PM in the evening. What the hell?! I staggered backward in horror and continued reading. "I didn't want to dis
Sophia's POVI peeped at the back to see some of the guests gently swaying their bodies to the soft background music and others taking photos. I felt slightly relieved after continuously rubbing my private part against the couch. Even though it was still a bit tickling, it was endurable. "Was the fruit juice mixed with some sex drugs? I am so damn wet. Why do I crave for a penetration into my womanhood? If only I can trace my hand to my clit to satisfy my sexual cravings" My face reddened in shame at my assumption as I whispered to myself.I nibbled on my lips and tightened my laps together, focusing on Theo's grandmother who walked up to the front view of the audience with a microphone in her hand. A round of applause erupted in the building."Thank you all for coming to rejoice with me. It was supposed to be a birthday celebration for my dearest grandson, Theodore but this morning, I was blessed with the arrival of my silly grandson who disappeared for years. I am b
Sophia's POVA thunderstorm applause resounded through the building,making the floor vibrate exceptionally. I stared at Theo in concern when he stiffened at the realization that his cousin was having a welcoming party together with his birthday party. His eyes gradually softened at the sight of his grandmother's wide smile, and he continued to pull us forward into the gigantic living room.The enormous space is filled with gentle hum of conversations, laughter and clinking of glasses. Women and men dressed in attractive attire, mingle and enjoy each other's company and sipping wine in elegant glasses. It was awkward free as we continued walking further to greet the guests until my two feet in the high heels began to cramp badly. Anytime from now, I might lose balance and tumble on the marble floor."I can't go any further. My legs are paining me " I whispered to Theo, biting my lips to endure the discomfort."Let's greet those couples. The man is my closest
Sophia's POV"I had partially caused their death and I am ready to experience the repercussions whether now or in the future. It all started with my thirst for power, and I got tricked with the cults' fake attention and respect to me without knowing that they had a different motive. I spent money to satisfy them, and things got bloody disastrous when I couldn't attend to their huge demands. It was a long story and a past that I wished never existed." Theo was sweating profusely, his fingers shivering terribly at the remembrance of the dark moments of his life. I wasn't actually feeling anxious at his revelation, but at the fact that I was related to his enemies. I wondered what will become of me if he finds out about I was a victim of their abuse. This is another vital reason for me to disappear from his surroundings as soon as possible. "I am speechless." I caress my hand against my chest to stable my breathing. "I was expecting a more devastating react
His traumatic past Sophia's POVI recklessly jerked out of Theo's grip, making me tumble on the floor. I winced at the pain that shot through my abdomen. Feeling guilty, I covered my face with my two hands at my shameless behaviour. I could have easily stopped him, but I indulge in it.I heard him chuckle at my naive attitude as he squatted to my position and fling one of his hands under my knee and the other at my back. He pulled me into his arms like I weighed nothing before he stood up and began to walk towards the room entrance. I shut my eyes until we were outside the room. He stopped at the front of a bowing guard standing by the entrance, "David" he called."Yes, boss""Take Jeffrey to the nearest hospital for his wounds to be attended to and pay the bills also. Leave him there to find his way out when he recovers" Theo commanded."Yes, boss. What if he goes to the Andrews villa with the intention of causing a conflict or commotion?" David raised
Sophia's POV I stood at the sink while staring down at the glossy red shell of the lobster in my hands. I ran the tap water, allowing it to splash against my skin as I permitted my thoughts to wander on the reason behind our manager's sudden excitement. It was unusual for him to compliment the Chefs and he had done it more than twice today. Although, this restaurant has been my saviour in many of my financial crises, especially for my sick father who is receiving treatment in the United States of America. Still, the way the management treats their employees is nothing to applaud. I felt a negative occurrence coming along with our manager's advice on people not investing in their salary in case of an urgent situation.Immediately he mentioned that statement this morning, I couldn't wrap my mind around gloomy thoughts that they might be willing to fire some of the Chefs and employ more experienced ones just like they do once in five years according to my seniors. From my notice, I am...
