FIVE YEARS LATER~~~Sophia's POVI was scrolling through the TV channels when I came across the news of one of my step-brothers being arrested for murdering an employee who threatened to spill the dirty work they engaged in underneath their business career. My munching sound slowed down as my stomach grumbled in extreme disgust. Why the hell do I have to see his face now?I angrily tossed the remote at the television. Even though I had intentionally thrown it, I held my breath in fear that the screen might smash. I nervously tiptoed to the electronic device, rubbed the spot the remote had hit, and exhaled in relief "I'm glad you endured such pain" I grinned at the television and glared at the remote. I groan in discomfort to pick it up before moving to place it on the center table.I shook my head, picked up my leftover chips, and strolled out of the living room to get ready for my night shift. Right from time, the life of the wealthy people isn't the type I admired, I figured out how
Sophia's POVI held the knob of the kitchen door to stable my posture as I staggered backward. My heart felt like it was ripped and stomped on a million times as realization hit me hard. All parts of my body were trembling as I desperately wished this was a nightmare. It has never crossed my mind that he would cheat on me with another woman. His assistant?!"Fuck…" Jeffery cussed and forced the lady away from him to rush towards me. "It's not what you think it is" he denied and licked his lips as the lady picked a kitchen towel to cover her body.I conceded at that moment that my supposed boyfriend had never craved or stared at me with such extreme sexual appetites."I swear… it was…temptation. I would never do something so absurd to the first person who had loved me genuinely. You see…I know the weight of what I did, which is the reason I am naked while on my knees" he apologized in a tone that sounded like mockery. He forced a knee on the tiled kitchen floor and held my hand in his.
Sophia's POV"I was only shot, not paralyzed" Theo grunted and rolled his eyes. My heart skipped funnily as I felt his behaviour cute. My body relaxed as I wondered if it was usual for him to experience this since he said it like it was nothing. Is he not frightened about death?"You should have gotten your guards on alert all the time when you knew the place was dangerous. Are you not intimidated by getting slaughtered? It must be really hard to be cautious, but I can't conclude. After all, you choose that life for yourself." I pointed out with a pitiful look at him as my eyes sighted the bandaged bruise caused by the bullet on his right arm."Oh oh…Why do you sound like those typical overprotective wives?You left me remember, Or you want to be mine?" he beamed with a faint smirk while I looked away in disgust."I would rather go back to my ex than do that!" I spat.Theodore was quiet as his face went blank. The impressed expression vanished from his face as I squinted my eyes to loo
Sophia's POV"Stop the car," Theo instructed the driver who halted immediately. "If you were not willing to go, why did you enter?" Theo raised his eyebrows in query. I disliked how mellow he seemed. "My boss is outside. How can you manipulate him into letting me go? Just like that? Aren't you curious about what my parents would say if I had any? Am I some useless being that could be instructed anyhow?" I complained bitterly. I felt worthless by their actions. "See it as if you were being transferred by your workplace. Besides, I will pay you any amount you want. The last time I checked, you wailed about some guys after your life. You wanted me to be your anything, remember. Just pretend like we don't know each other" He muttered, his eyes pointed directly to me. As if I was whacked with reality, I reflected that I was instructed to be back at the dungeon called home. Never. "Oh..yeah…I.." I stuttered. "Out" Theo suddenly commanded. My heart skipped in remorse as I felt ashamed
Sophia's POV My eyes widen in shock as I stare at my phone in horror. I had a denied expression like I wasn't the one who used his picture as my wallpaper. "I had no idea you were related..d" I stammered, and internally cussed at Jeffrey. Only God knows how many things he had kept away from me. He had literally retained me in the dark for the whole years we were together, and I had trusted him blindly. At this point, I am a bit convinced that he had snitched me to my evil step-brothers.My eyes squeezed with tears at the realization that I had run away from a man that I supposed would endanger my life only to fall in the hands of the main person who had destroyed my life."Why would he tell you when he had eloped with millions of my money?" Theo sneered in disdain. The veins on his forehead were bulging out of anger "A bastard and ungrateful cousin of mine who I had trusted without looking back. Well…I had ceased searching for him a week after his disappearance, but now I have a reas
Sophia's POV I ceased to breathe as the pleasure spread over my whole body. A moan escaped my mouth the moment he gently pressed my butt "What a sweet name for such a sexy body," He groaned seductively, and caressed my waist softly. "I shouldn't have estimated your body in those scrub suits. Now I have to restrain myself as much as possible, but if you will also give me your body in return for anything, I am ready" Theo muttered in his low and alluring tone. His voice muffled from licking my ear. I was stricken by reality the moment he mentioned taking my body in return for anything. I shuddered in dread as I discovered the weight of what I had just permitted. I had just agreed to his familiarity that he can pull any woman he wants with the things he has. Without thinking twice, I smacked him hard on his face as I hastily pulled away from his grip. My eyes itched with tears threatening to fall from my eyes. I covered my mouth to hush my sobs. I had been manipulated too far to get ou
Sophia's POV "Theodore Andrews!" Drake sneered "You fucking killed my brother!" he wailed in pain as my blood went cold. I shivered at the realization of the situation. What? Draco was dead! How? Draco had met me the night Theo was shot. My head hurt when I tried to link the fact that Theo was already rushed to the hospital before Draco might have died. Why was Theo accused? What is the relationship between the two of them? "I am not here because I was summoned for being a suspect. I am here to warn you to cease the silly and childish trick you have been pulling. The next time I find you forcing yourself on my lane, I will trigger a fucking gun on your dick myself. The ruby is now in my possession. " Theo paused as his eyes darkened more."You and your bastard families would be cleared off the moment I investigate your deeds with 'The dwellers'. You know me so well not to forgive those who betray me!" He slammed his hand hard on the table, his eyes were dead and cold as his chin k
Sophia's POV"It would have been better if only you had that considerable expression when we were inside, " Theo lamented, and eyeing me suspiciously.I bit my lips nervously and moved forward to dust his already-cleaned trousers by his guards without responding to his words. I overdid the dusting of his clothes out of anxiousness, and he had let me be until I was done. I stared at the hard-faced bodyguard to acknowledge his impression of my remorse, but it was as hard as earlier. I sigh in disappointment, making Theo furrow his eyebrows in confusion. He ordered his chauffeur to go into the other bus while he drove to the airport. I settled in the back seat even though he had already opened the front door for me. He didn't force it as he let me be and turned around to drive to the airport. "Are you angry because I wasn't relentless enough for that bastard? You should be worried about me instead," he muttered as he peeked at me through the rearview mirror. I ignored him and proceede
Sophia'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
