Stay away Mr Weston

SOPHIA LANGFORD The next time my eyes opened, it beheld the sight of the same room I'd found myself in the very day Ethan took me home from the summit. A few wires were connected to my body and I could feel the wrapping feeling of bandage around my head... I sat up immediately, remembering how I'd gone unconscious after Levi had hit me unintentionally, making me hit my head on a stone. I couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious but I felt like I'd been in that unconscious condition for a while. “Shouldn't I be in the hospital? Why does this place look like Ethan's home?” I muttered, feeling a slight headache. “Well, because it's Ethan's home" I heard Ethan's voice beside me and I froze. He was in here and I never got to notice?.. “How are you doing pretty?" He smiled, getting up from the plastic chair he was sitting on and walking over to my bed with a stick of cigarette in the middle of his

Totally determined

LEVI BANKS I hadn't left the police station since I got detained and it's been almost exactly seventy-two hours. Of course I had a special treatment due to my status but it wasn't a perfect one. Which accused person gets something perfect anyways?.. I was kept in a room with a comfortable bed and almost everything I needed but my access to phone and movement were restricted until it was time for my free hours.. To me, I was in nothing but a gilded cage. “Sir, you were not detained because of the public violence alone but also regarding Xing's death” the cop who was always attending to me had told me the truth before I got to realise. “Why that look?" I muttered to Jessica as she had been staring at me for a while with some expression I couldn't understand. It was a cool evening and I was in the visitation room with her, as it was my free time already.. She sighed, raising her hands to mine

Deals kick starting

JESSICA FINN I was mad!.. One could say that again and again! “Fuck everyone!" I groaned, hitting my steering wheel hard in frustration and caring less about the effects on my poor knuckles. I needed to get Levi out of the mess he was in so as to find a way to betroth myself to him or confess my feelings before he thinks about renewing the contract with Sophia but his goddamned stubbornness was annoying. “Arrgh!!" I groaned again, hitting my forehead on the wheel. I proceeded to dial Ethan's number after letting out my frustration for about three minutes or so. This time, he didn't pick up fast until my dial count reached three. “What's up with the heavy breaths? They are so loud from over there" he spoke first since I didn't quickly realise he had picked up. “You know what Ethan?, it's high time you released Alfred to us, you have Sophia now! Why the fucking delay?!" I didn't eve

Bitter sweet memories

LEVI BANKS There was this feeling deep in my mind and this voice in my head that wouldn't stop pointing out the areas where Jessica was right. “She's going against your orders but is helping you out of all these” the voice wouldn't stop saying.. “I don't want Sophia with Ethan, can't y'all understand that!" I complained. I breathed heavily, ruffling my hair in complete frustration. The last two times I was given access to my phone, I tried Sophia's number but it was always switched off. “He carried her that day, right in my presence and I couldn't stop him!" I thought, folding my fists hard. Damn!.. This was making me go insane. Ethan's words regarding a second nightstand suddenly rang in my ears and I had to transfer my aggression to the poor table again, by hitting it hard. I haven't even slept with her for once and a bastard is demanding for a second intimacy?.. I felt

I can’t stay

SOPHIA LANGFORD Ethan's house seemed so suffocating to me and I couldn't just wait to be out. “Even if you'll be leaving, wait to receive your last treatment from my private doctor, she might come around tonight, i forgot about her schedule” he had said when I insisted on going home earlier. But I was really running out of patience at the moment. It was well past 6pm already and I was determined not to spend a night at his place. I badly needed to see Levi. I couldn't wait any longer. “Ouch..” I winced, trying to get the water drip needle out of my veins. I was terribly hungry, and at one point, I feared if my baby was still safe... How was it faring when I was unconscious?.. Hating Ethan didn't mean I hated my own offspring, especially with the fact that being pregnant wasn't easy at all. A knock sounded on the door but I didn't even bother paying attention to it. The person knocking opened the do

Weighty threats

ETHAN WESTON Sophia's eyes beamed with nothing but hatred and distrust but was it crazy that I craved her even more despite that?.. “I'm not joking Ethan!” she yelled as my arm bled. I let out another fake groan. The pain was nothing compared to the ones I'd felt at childhood when dad was terribly violent so I could literally endure it even without letting out a sound. “Your husband is in jail because of violence, do you think you'll go scot-free if I decide not to take this lightly?”I threatened and she calmed down a bit, breathing heavily. “You bloody ---" “You had better keep the remaining words in your head. I dislike being called names" I interrupted, trying to stop the blood from my wounded arm by raising my hands to it. “Take it or leave it, you'll be here till my child is born” I added, getting up from her bed and heading out. “You are just deceiving yourself! You can't restri

Shocking demand

ETHAN WESTON I didn't yell out Sophia's name, I knew I roared like a hungry lion and even the maids who weren't expecting such actions, flinched and staggered.. Sophia cannot attempt to murder my unborn child, never!.. not when it's my greatest greenlight to getting the presidential position. As the maid had informed, she was right in the large sitting room, looking so pale and barefooted with her hand folded around a knife which she was raising to her belly.. “I want to see Levi now else I kill myself and this child..” she threatened on sighting me. “And of course, the child is at a greater risk" she added with a smirk. I was really threatened but there was this ego in me that didn't want to reveal my panicked state, so then, I decided to change my expression into a calm one. “Thanks for making me confirm that you never even tried aborting the baby. Didn't you use the pills Jessica gave

Greedy request

ETHAN WESTON “My chastity?” I needed to be sure I hadn't heard him wrongly just now so I simply asked to confirm. “Yes son. You shouldn't relate with women, stop it if you still do it" he replied, shocking me even more. I scoffed. “Is this a joke or what, dad, what are you talking about?” “I don't make expensive jokes and you know it” He responded. “I'm not a misogynist for crying out loud!” I lamented. “Then start adapting to being one” his voice held no form of emotions nor remorse, meaning, he wasn't even caring about my feelings. “Well, that's the greatest impossibility you'll come across. I'm too young to stay away from women. It's not even my thing” I spoke with so much confidence like he could do nothing.. “Amazing” I heard him chuckle devilishly and I folded my fists. What was this man up to?! “I'm not an eunuch, nor a monk, so why should I obey such instruc

A rewarding kiss

LEVI BANKS I had no idea when I slept on getting back to my dorm and at midnight, I was awake. I couldn't sleep anymore. I took my phone on the bed stand where I placed it before sleeping off. I'd actually requested that it's given to me for the night by forfeiting the access to use it for the next two days. Jessica had definitely spoken with Ethan regarding Alfred already and I badly anticipated her feedback. I went over to my mailbox, bumping into over a hundred messages, both from work and my personal life.. Till now, no one except a few business partners and Xing's family knew I was in prison. It isn't something that should go viral except if I lose the case in court. “She sent no message?.." I raised my brows in surprise, seeing nothing in our private chat except our previous messages. I immediately began dialing her number, caring less of the fact that it was just 1AM in the mid

Lingering emotions

SOPHIA LANGFORD I couldn't sleep all night and worse, the night seemed unusually long. All I kept doing was cry, roll to the other side of the bed, visit the toilet, groan when I felt a stomach pain, and then, cry again.. Mum would always tell me when I was younger..“It's wrong to stare at mirrors at night” But this was me, staring at the mirror by 3AM, to talk to the baby inside of me. “Do you know how much I hate the fact that you're in there?” I began, staring at my exposed stomach and my little bump. “Do you know how much it hurts when I remember who your father is?.." “I'm locked here because of you!" My tears fell this time and I didn't even bother stopping them. “Why can't you just disappear. You cause me so much pain and discomfort..” I sniffed. “My heart hurts so much. Why did you have to come after that nightstand?I did it unwillingly, didn't you see that?..” I
