A rival

SOPHIA LANGFORD All I could do after witnessing that heartbreaking scene was to get under the shower and turn on the faucet without even taking off my clothes.. What was the need anyways?... I didn't want to believe Jessica and Levi had been having an affair before now! Also, I didn't want to believe he kissed her willingly!. “Arrgh!” I groaned, increasing the rate at which the water was pouring. In less than five minutes, I was going to catch a cold but who cares?.. That was the least of my worries!! “As much as I try to get it off my mind, my heart won't stop aching!” I cried, breathing heavily like everything about me depended on it.. I was so into Levi and I guess this was why I was feeling this way. “You'll catch the flu, Soph" his cool voice came from the bathroom door and I folded my fists tight. I'd walked out on him not quite long after hitting him and this was th

Thwarted death

ETHAN WESTON Two days passed away , almost being unnoticed due to how fast time flew and by 9am, I was still on my bed. I was used to waking up so late on Mondays, maybe because I've always hated that day ..My phone rang interrupting my peaceful sleep and with a sigh alongside a groan, I raised my hand to the side of the bed to get the device..I swiped green with my eyes still closed, consequently making me have no idea of who the caller was and with that, I muttered a ‘hello', raising the device to my ear.“Boss, Xing woke up at the hospital”That information made me sprang up immediately..That was my agent calling!“What!” I exclaimed.“We got the news just now, he survived the poison” he said again.“You know that can't happen! He mustn't survive!” I retorted“Exactly why I'm calling you boss, we need to do something fast” he responded“You --”My second phone instantly rang and immediately my gaze caught the caller's ID, I sighed. It was Dad and he had definitely gotten the n

Shock

LEVI BANKS“Xing woke up!?”Not only did an exclamation escape my mouth, a gasp also did. Jessica nodded with a smile. She had actually arrived just a short while ago to inform me that.“Yes sir, I got a call from the hospital on my way to the office so I decided to drive down here instead to tell you” she replied“Oh my!.. that's good news!” I exclaimed again and she chuckled.“It is. I'm so relieved too”I dropped the whiskey bottle I was holding immediately as happiness overwhelmed every bit of me. “Been down, drinking this shit for the past two days" my words made her chuckle.”You should go change your clothes sir, I'll drive you down to the hospital” she replied.“Of course!" I replied with a smile, arranging the pillows I'd scattered before now.“Sophia travelled?” she suddenly asked, digressing as I was about to move.I heaved a breath.“No, she didn't,” I replied.“Oh.." she mouthed..“We've not talked since she witnessed that scene." I sighed deeply again.“Honestly I was j

Thorns in roses

LEVI BANKS“I think we should just get Sophia an apartment till the contract is over”Jessica's words made me turn immediately. My eyes landed on her side view while her gaze remained on the road as she drove..There was no single emotion in her eyes, not a single one!..“And why would I do that?" I raised my brow.None of us has said anything to each other since the drive started and now she was up with this?..“I mean, she has about three weeks remaining, we need to start preparing her for the separation. It's just a suggestion.... Sir” I noticed that she hesitantly muttered the last word but I didn't pay much attention to it.“I rented her with a huge sum of one million dollars..” I reminded..“Yes and --”“She's going to be with me until the very last minute” I added, consequently interrupting her own speech.“I might even renew the contract, who knows” I shrugged, returning my gaze to the road but then I noticed the car suddenly screeching to stop at that instant..I turned to Je

The condition

ETHAN WESTON The news of Xing's death came to me even before I could get to the hospital to see things myself..And of course, how could I lurk around the hospital premises freely without having to disguise myself as a doctor?... a simple nose mask, change in hairstyle and a pair of shades did the job.Oh yeah!.. a few touches of makeup too.“I guess I know a few things about medical health so my operation while disguising as a doctor might not be suspicious. I need to be sure things don't get messed up. Xing survived the poison but died after being injected by my agent. Autopsy mustn't reveal the latter, you know?” I'd said to my personal assistant when he portrayed worry, a short while ago.“Can someone say something?!” Levi's voice came again from where he stood.I smirked secretly before giving the other workers in the room a sign to continue the wrapping up of Xing's body.“I'm sorry for the great los

In between

SOPHIA LANGFORD I stared at myself in the mirror for the umpteenth time, smiling so prettily while Ellen watched me from the dressing table side where I'd placed my phone which we were having a video call with.“Are you sure I look good enough?” I asked, twirling around and allowing my long hair flow with the gentle breeze.“You know you do Soph!.. Those long flawless legs exposed is a seductive tool on their own and then your curves in that bum short?.. girl, you'll literally make him go insane in the braless state that you're in!” she squealed and I giggled.“I feel so special” I blushed, remembering Levi's words and kiss this morning. He was so happy and relieved so I literally got all the sweetest words he had in his heart.Since I told Ellen about what happened in the room this morning, she had actually been giving naughty ideas and even insisted I dress so attractive enough for him..“Last days with a bill

Worse

SOPHIA LANGFORD “Do you have something to say?.. feels like you're boring holes into my body with your stares” Jessica's words made me realise I'd been staring too much while on the same spot and even Levi left already.“Erm..” I voiced“Yeah, I .. I mean no!” I stuttered and she scoffed.“I'll take my leave” she replied, returning the used cups to the cellar.“Sure, you should" I found myself saying as she grabbed her bag.“You have eighteen days remaining, just a quick reminder” she smirked and walked out even before I could respond.I stared at the door for seconds with folded fists before sighing. “It didn't go well" I muttered. I headed to the room and since I forgot to knock, I bumped into Levi's shirtless state. It was beautiful, just as usual and it succeeded in sending sparks to my brain..“What's wrong?..” I asked, resisting the urge to stare too much. He

Dark rivalry

LEVI BANKS Two days passed without a goodbye kiss and finally, it was Xing's burial day. I couldn't deny feeling so reluctant to go and I knew it was nothing but because of the embarrassment of being labelled as the suspect.The past two days had been hectic and tough. Having cops coming around for interrogation and demands for my presence became a usual thing and at one point, Sophia had to cry while lamenting her fear.“Xing is one of the most important and influential men in the world so his murder case won't be something his family and the cops take lightly." I'd told her.Jessica and I had also spoken several times and after the burial, today had been scheduled for a meeting with his family.“You're teary-eyed?..” Sophia asked as I screeched the car to a halt in front of the spacious parking space where the burial was to take place.“Who doesn't get emotional on a burial ceremony" I sighed, alighting f

Who is Mr anonymous

SOPHIA LANGFORD Ethan's digits weren't a saved one on my phone, simply because he had always hid his number under a ‘private number' identity yet, I'd never mistaken him for someone else.. I batted my lashes, finding myself reading the message over and over again..Bring me over?.. What on earth was he insinuating?“Could it probably be a wrong message?..” I sighed, feeling quite frustrated about the fact that I couldn't reply the message due to his number being a private one.And so, I had to wait till Levi got out of the bathroom before demanding for a clarification..“I'm talking to you Levi. What agreement did you have with Ethan regarding me?” I asked again when he chose to be silent.He sighed.“He wants his baby mama to stay with him till she puts to bed” he responded.Those words brought back the usual guilt but I shook off the feeling immediately. Levi an

Arrested

LEVI BANKS “What the hell do you take me for?!” Another yell escaped my lips as I landed the second punch on Ethan's nose, consequently making him bleed. “Babe!" Sophia cautioned but that was definitely not going to stop my wildness. He shouldn't have uttered those words, he shouldn't!! Ethan staggered with a groan and his guards rushed towards us, aiming their guns at me without a command. I scoffed. “Put those damned guns down now, else I order your arrest!” I ordered without thinking twice. “Coming from a murderer himself” I looked to see Ethan balanced back on his feet with a smirk on his bloody lips. “Watch your words!” I yelled. “I would not stand here and watch you spew out words that degrade me and my wife!” I added. “Seriously?..” he scoffed while I continued boiling in so much rage. Sophia squeezed my palm gently and I understood she was trying to
