I took my mom to the visitor's room and why she's here, i won't be able to sleep properly with my eyes closed.."Wow! I cannot believe that You would be getting married to a wealthy man,". Mom expressed her excitement as she couldn't hold back her joy..."I see, and why did you even agree to come?" I questioned her but had a lot more that needed answers..I became an orphan, despite the fact that my mom was still alive, she had me left behind with my grandparents, they took care of me and this happened after my dad's untimely death..."Sophia, I am your mom!". She wanted to touch my face but I stepped back and then slapped her hand away from reaching my face. " I'm sorry, what?". I giggled, " Do you think of yourself as a mother, because the last time I remember, you left me with my grandparents.... Do you understand?". I continued and afterward left the room..I encountered Luciano on my way to the kitchenz I needed a glass of water because everything was starting to get overwhelm
ONE MONTH AFTERIt has been a month since my marriage to Luciano, he had made sure to fulfil every of his promises and every day of my life, since we got married, I keep on realising that I would've been a fool if I had refused to get married to him.."Hey! Good evening". Luciano said as he walked inside of the mansion with some gift bags. Today's Ethan's three year's birthday and as much as I don't agree celebrating when we don't know about the whereabouts of Hannah, I couldn't stop the decorations from going on.."Wow! So many gifts". I took a look at some of them and then kept it on the table.."Yeah, today's my son's birthday and I want everything to be perfect.... I got something for you?". He took a dramatic pause and then said.."Okay, what is it?" I faced him, and made sure to grin. He then took a tiny box and brought it to me..I took the box, open it and inside was a diamond necklace."This is to show you how much I love you, Sophia". He grinned after that statement..
Thankfully there was no commotion during Ethan's birthday party, and soon after the guests left, Luciano phone his friend, Justin from the police station, and he happened to be the one who had previously arrested Hannah and her lover, Chris..Mom , Ethan and I went upstairs to his room, while Luciano conversed with his friend about the matter on the ground.." I hope everything goes well". Mom took Ethan and laid him down on his bed. She kept on talking about the same thing when a cold wind passed through my skin. I got scared of a sudden, but after investigating, I realised that the Windows of my son's bedroom were opened.."Shit! Who opened this Winfield?"..I went ahead and locked the window..Mom wanted us to question Daniella, but with the commotion happening around the mansion, her attention must've been divided..Luciano met us in the bedroom shortly for an important information.." Son, is everything settled?"..Mom was eager to know and so was I..He shut the door and resp
It was already Evening and Luciano was yet to come back from his meeting. I had called him not long ago and he promised to come back on time but it's almost eleven in the evening.Mom came downstairs.."Sophia, why are you up? Hasn't Luciano come back?". She questioned me as we went together to the kitchen.."Nah! And am beginning to get worried". I told her, and shortly after Luciano arrived. "Hey, where have you been, I was starting to get worried about you".Mom left us alone to talk. "I'm sorry, I had an emergency at the office". He explained everything that happened and once again apologied..I asked if he was hungry, but he refused, saying he already had something to eat at the office .We both retired to our room."Good night". Luciano changed into his night gown and said to me ."Goodnight". I said back and then afterward turned off the lights. It was the next day and before I woke up, Luciano and my mom already had breakfast taken care of , Ethan was in the chair sittin
My mom and I were back from the mall, we had brought so many things but that didn't stop me from thinking about my husband, yes! Recently, Luciano has been coming to my mind and with his current business meetings, I feel a lot anxious about everything, inculding, Hannah's disappearance. .She's the reason, we haven't been able to go home and I won't be surprised if he had to stay here at the cottage for a month.."Sophia, Are you still worried?" ..Mom saw the look on my face and then asked me..."Yes! I think I should go to Luciano's office". I suggested and left for my husband's office.We went there and it was rowdy and I had thought that something bad had happened and thankfully, Luciano was in his office, taking care of some important documents. " Good evening". I knocked his bedroom door before entering inside..He was pleased to find me in his office, like he was expecting me. "Sophia, what are you doing here?". He offered me a chair and I sat down, with my knees knocke
one week later It has been a week since we came to the cabin , there still hasn't been any news confirming Hannah's arrest and Chris, and decerning there hasn't been an changes concerning the issue, we would still be staying at the cabin, at least, till further notice .."Sophia, let's go out for Dinner, tonight"..Luciano suggested to me that we have an intimate meeting tonight..And seeing that I didn't have anything else doing, I accepted his proposal for a dinner at one of the towns restaurant..Mom had no objection in taking care of her grandson, and most especially if it involved Luciano, her favourite and only son-in-law and her daughter..."Sophia, let's go Outside for a stroll".Mom informed after we had spent our entire day locked up inside the cabin, Luciano had instructed his men not to let us Leave on no account and this instructions was duly carried out by them..But since we were only going to walk around the vicinity of the place we lived in, they had no choice bu
We came to the place and it was an old abandoned school, Luciano didn't want me to accompany him in but since the letter had been addressed to us, he grabbed my hand tightly as we ambled inside the school. "Are we sure that there's here?"..After walking for at least an hour, I had to air out my complains to Luciano. "I don't know, but we can as well, try!!". He responded, and was cauiously taking a step forward to the auditorium..We came and the place was empty. Perhaps did Hannah and Chris, play a fast one on us by telling us to come here? I thought to myself as we kept moving forward..We got to the podium, our eyes glaring anxiously, I wanted us to leave the place but then again, we were taken aback by the maniac giggling of Hannah, as she stepped out from the dark corner of the auditorium.."Awwn! You both do look good together" .She teased us the second her eyes sighted us holding hands.."What do you want, Hannah?"...Luciano step forward as he questioned her intenti
Even though I was specifically warned not to tell anyone and most especially the police, there I was seated in the office of my husband's close friend and telling him what had happened. Justin promised to get to the bottom of everything without letting Luciano know about it. I know what I had done wasn't right, however, it was for the good and benefits of my family..."Sophia! Where did you go to?".Luciano saw me coming into the house and asked me .."Oh! I want for a jog". I thought of the first thing that came to mind, and then I went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator. I came back to the living room and saw that he was in a heated conversation on the phone..He left immediately he saw me Curiously staring at his Face. What was my husband trying to hide from me? Perhaps was it because of Hannah?..."Sophia! What happened?". Mom and I bumped into each other on my way to the room.."Nothing, where's Ethan?". I asked her about my son, since I cou
The entire day ran by with Richard demoting every of my comments, especially the one when Mrs Mathilda had asked me about how it feels getting engaged to a man like her nephew At first I did think of crushing Every ideal that had about Richard being a good husband material, however before I could even get a chance to speak, Richard rushed and diverted the conversation over to himself. Seated at the couch and after having dinners, I could literally count the times I heard Richard praising himself in the midst of both his uncle and aunt..Some few hours later, by nine in the evening, Mrs Mathilda walked both Richard and myself into the our bedroom_ I should have suspected that since we were about getting married, we'd literally be sharing a room together. We walked into one of the big rooms next to another with our bags."So, this is where you'd be sleeping, do you like it,?" Asked Mrs. Mathilda.."Yes ma'am, it's a lovely bedroom," I answered.When Richard walks behind, I turned a
I bearly got close whene he takes out a hand back and stopped me from approaching another step closer to his bench."What are you doing here, go away Beatrice,!" He spoke moving gestures at me.."No! I won't," I stepped a feet forward, " what do you think you're doing, why are you drinking,?". I asked when he turned back and latched out on my face.."Are you seriously asking me,!" He yelled getting up from the bench, he takes a feet forward my way but tripped over his other feet, he falls down hitting his hands on the ground."Hey, please be careful," I said as I tried to assist."Don't touch me Beatrice,!" He pulled his hands away from touching me..He leaned the other on the benches hand and got back up to his two feet."It's all your fault, you caused this,". He admits to my face, moving forward with his hands out to get me..I leaned back."What do you mean, because trust me I do not think I am the cause of everything, you're the entire reasons why your dad is hell bent on di
When we got down to from the car after reaching the office, I went first to meet Mr Smith, he turns and gave me an alluring smile as we both approached the door to the elevator that led to his office..Richard tells he had to pick up some documents by the finance department and so was the first person to leave_ Mr Smith and I went up and as we reached the second floor, he and I stepped out together_ I look while walking further to his office, Mr Smith had his hands tied on to the other, there was something definitely strange happening..We got to his office."Thank you, Beatrice," he tells going inside."You're welcome sir," I said moving past his office door, I was just some few steps closer to my office when I remembered I was still holding unto the documents he had asked me to bring along_ I turned going back to give him the document, I knock on the door and as I walked Inside, I met Mr Smith on the ground, shaking_ the way epileptic patients does ..Fear gripped me_ I throw away
We both reached home after the Photoshoot, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while Richard went up to his bedroom instead, I brought out a bottle water from its can and emptied it in a go, I turned back to Leave, I wasn't expecting to see anyone but I caught Mr Smith by the kitchen table, resting his hand to his head, and was looking right at me."Good day Beatrice, I see you're back,?" He puts his hand away but drops it on the table.."Good day sir, and yes I'm back,". I walked some few steps away from the fridge_ Mr Smith Shakes his head at me.."That's good and yes," he takes a look by the door checking to see if anyone was approaching before finishing his statement."I've been hoping to speak with you alone, Beatrice" he tells Me.."What exactly sir hope everything is okay,?" I said thinking out loud.."Yes ," he affirms, "however I've been wanting to say thank you for everything," he walks away from the kitchen table coming to me."Thanks for what sir,?". I asked."T
I went to my bedroom to change, a dress was already at my bed waiting for me, later I got downstairs on Mr Smiths behest, I walked down and went straight to the couch reserved specially for Richard and myself.I was the first to seat down, when Richard was forcedly pushed to the couch by his dad, Mr Smith gently careessed my cheeks before leaving."You're at fault for Everything happening," Said Richard as he blamed me for everything "I'm sorry, so I look.like I am enjoying everything that's happening,?" I slowly moved my mouth to his ears who he could hear me properly."Oh please," Richard grunt and pulls away from getting close to me, "you're mostly enjoying this,". He tells latching his eyes away..."You must be a Lunatic," I said and faced away from himAt the couch, Mr Smith later comes over, he held my hand and that is his son and walked both of us to the center of the party.He made us face the guests there and announced once again about the engagement.The rings was brough
After searching for Richard , and not a sign of him coming anywhere, it was getting late, like so late, I couldn't fit further to search for him again, I decided to go back home and maybe try to call him..I can count the time I phoned him,yet his number kept on sending me to voicemail.I wonder where he could have been?...The next morning, I slept sleeping at the center of my bed, just then , I overheard Mr Smith screaming, I didn't get to think two times about going down to see what was happening, I came downstairs and found him scolding his son..His grown up son_ Richard, who's head was bent down from his dad's angry gaze..."How can you be this stupid, have you lost your goddam mind,,?". Said Mr Smith as he approached his son, whacking his head_ Richard didn't take the chance to retaliate or even speak back to his father..He stood there allowing his dad to hit him countless times, what's happening?.. Mr Smith saw me approaching to his direction, he again slapped his son and f
I buried myself with work untill the entire day ended and it was time to head back home, Mr Smiths mansion..I left the office riding back with a cab, I came down walking inside, when I noticed the ongoing decorations around the entire mansion.I walked ahead, bumping into Richard. As usual he had this resentful look at me, but didn't quite say anything rude; even when I asked too know what was going on with the decorations.."There's going to be a party, dad wants you too attend also,".. he said and left going outside of the mansion Walls..Alone, I walked to my bedroom, I came inside and on my bed, there was a dress lying on it_ I approached and picked it up , when a tiny bite fell off from the dress_ I bent down and picked it up, having to see that Mr Smith had sent me the dress, at the note, he wanted me to attend the party dressed in the royal blue gown...Later that day, at the party, I came downstairs joining the others, I wore Mr Smith dress and as I approached him talking to
New pov Like my name , I'm regarded to be a flower, the colour of my family, my dad and mom, dad passed on some few months ago and it's left only mom and myself_ I see her longing to be with dad at every given opportunity, she almost had herself killed, accidentally falling down the stairs_ alone, I made up my mind to employ a maid that was going to take care of her, while I tackle my work_ Mr Richard's company, Richard is dad's godson, he is the definition of a rude and abrupt man, least I forget totally demanding.I still remember the day I went for an interview at his dad's company, Mr Smith had no complain in working with me and as his assistant_ definitely not his son, bit Richard held such a defense against it and almost made me loose the job, a Job I bearly started on.But Mr Smith being his calm and understanding self, he decided to over look his sons, nasty and childish behavior, he went further and handed the job of being his assistant to him_ PA. Personal assistant.I wa
My mom and I were given the visitors room to stay in, she thanked Mrs Sophia before letting her leave the room.."Are you sure about this?"..I had to let Mrs sophia leave the room before asking my mom..She keeps quiet and that occurs then there are no more ideas in her mind, she keeps calm and watch things happen..." Let's just get settled in" She doesn't say much and just went to bathroom to freshen up. I changed into something more comfortable and then went to the living room, Ethan and his parents were seated on one of the couches, Mrs Sophia saw me coming and invited me to sit with them. "Hey! You good"..Ethan came over after sometime and asked me the question. "Yeah! What do you mean!". I faced him and asked that question. He slowly shook head and intentionally changed the subject; there wasn't any else to say, I stood up and went upstairs to the bedroom..I was there when Mrs Sophia came.."Megan, are you alright?".She asked me questions I do not have answers too _ wa
