Sophia's POV
The next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache from last night. Thinking about the fact that I had to be seeing someone manage my hospital along with me was annoying but not going to change anything. I just had to accept it and go along with the flow of things.
After a few minutes of preparations for work, I was out of the house in a white sleeveless jumpsuit. I went to where my car was parked and entered the driver's seat when Josh decided to show up.
"You were late." I told him before he could utter a word.
"Miss I _"
"It's ok. I will be driving myself today." I said.
"Please open the gate for me." I added and he left.
I steamed the car, ready to drive out of the house when Cindy came and knocked on the window of my car.
I was leaving the house early to avoid being disturbed by someone and there she stood at my door, with her hands on her waist like she was ready for a fight.
I lowered the window and rolled my eyes.
"Seems you had a dream about me." I told her but she scoffed.
"You should say nightmare when making my dream references to yourself." She answered and I mickmied her.
"At least I am so important to you that you even had the nerves to dream about me."
"What is it you want?" I asked her and she scoffed.
"How dare you talk rudely to dad, huh?" She asked and I blinked multiple times.
"Is that why you left your comfortable disgusting room?" I sighed.
"Get out of my way." I turned back on my car engine.
Ow!
I forgot something.
"And mind you, my business with dad is none of your business." I pushed her away from my car and drove out of the gate.
After an almost thirty minutes drive, I arrived at the hospital. I was walking my way inside the hospital building as several thoughts crossed my mind because the hospital only reminded me that I had a partner and to top it all, I was engaged.
I could only get more furious at my dad for selling all my shares to Mr Tony.
Ok...
Half of my investments...
But I still wondered why he would do such a thing.
And that Tony, I actually thought he was a quiet type.
Don't get me wrong here.
I was not crushing on him.
I just hated the fact that he was too mouthy.
What does he take himself to be? - I thought.
"Well! WellI! Well!" A male's voice startled me.
"If it is not Miss Boss, coming late for work." He added.
I just rolled my eyes at him in a sigh. Tony always had this special talent of coming at the perfect time. My beloved or behated husband to be back then, always a kill joy.
I feigned a very broad smile to him. But the smile didn't last long. It just lasted 5 seconds.
Tony's POV
Well dad did a good thing by driving me out of the house to the hospital.
I was off duty at Hartz Enterprise so I wanted to stay at home that day when dad insisted I go to the hospital.
I was still in my car making a call with someone when I noticed bossy girl come out of her car.
"I'll call you later man." I said and ended the call.
I waited for her to get a little further before I came out of the car.
"What do you want?" She asked me after the little tease I gave her.
"I think you should be proper when addressing your business partner. Don't you think so?" I asked and she hissed in anger.
"No I don't. Look here even if my dad sold my investments in this hospital to you, that will never make you the owner here. Understood??" She ranted her mouth and I chuckled.
She was so childish back then (Sophia hits him on the arm).
That's why I said 'back then'.
"Nah. Seems you were talking in riddles. Mind explaining again?" I asked and she shrugged in exasperated sighs.
"You are so unbelievable." She mumbled something after that and left.
So I said to myself "Tony, how about making her understand that this hospital is ours? Not just hers alone."
I took out my phone and placed a call to some persons that I knew will be of great help.

"Are you sure?" I asked her and she nodded.
Cindy had just told me that she and Tony were in a relationship for quite some time.
Well if that is the case, then why is she not betrothed to him instead? - I thought.
"Mom are you doubting me?" Cindy asked and I shook my head.
"No my dear." I answered.
"Just wondering why you didn't tell your dad so he can betroth you to that Tony?" I asked her.
"Well mom. I think the reason is beyond the money deal. That is because I asked Tony to object to it but he blatantly refused." She replied.
What?
But why will...
"What did he say his reasons were?" I asked her and she shrugged.
So she has no idea!
"He didn't tell me. All he said was that he was going to do something to annul the engagement." She giggled excitedly.
Hmmmm!!
I pitied her because I knew for sure that nothing was going to be done. She was happy and excited that she was in a relationship with Tony.
If a man will refuse to object to a wedding, then the only possible possibility is that he's interested in the wedding.
Cindy was never going to understand because she was still a kid.
But what type of a kid dates men way older than her?
Sophia's POV
I was trying to concentrate in my office when my door was barged open. Some men came in carrying a table, a chair even a couch??...
And a bed??
"What the hell is going on here?" I asked but they didn't hear.
"Excuse me but who are you? And what are you doing in my office?" I asked again with no reply.
"Hello! Are you all deaf?" I screamed and they all halted to a stop.
"Better." I said and adjusted my composure.
I then added,
"Now tell me wh__"
"Relax baby." I heard Tony's voice as he trailed his pathway into my office.
"I was reorganizing our office." He added while I shot him a dead glare.
He then turned to the people,
"Welcome to TGHC, short for Tony and Grace Hospital Centre."
"Whaatt!!" I yelled while he smiled a devilish smile to me.
Sophia's POVI went back home very angry. Not only had Tony added a table in my office, but he also added a bed. He even changed the name of the hospital. I was very angry with him for doing what he did.But what could I do? He owned 50% shares in the hospital and hence he had the right to do some modification, although that wasn't what I wanted.I knew that one day I was surely going to have my revenge on him. I was positive sure about it.I came out of the car and walked inside the house."Sophia!" I heard my dad call, stopping me from taking another step.I turned to see him and his face was down.I suddenly had sympathy on him.Whatever he did, he did it for a reason justifiable enough."Dad!" I called back as he drew nearer."Princess can we ta
They ended the story since everyone concluded that Tony made her to fall in love. But did he actually do so?The story continues....********************************** Tony's POVThe principle is a simple one. Just by hearing the word itself, you would have a glimpse on what it is.Reasons why these past two days I have taken a sudden interest in Sophia?Well all my past life, in all my 27 years that I lived, I have never met one as daring and bold as her. She is beautiful with a unique eye colour, yes. But that wasn't what made me take a special liking in her.Remembering vividly, I met her the day she was returning from India. Her dad had hosted a mega party at their domicile.Even from her ego that she carried on that particular day, one could have guessed right that she was boss
Cindy's POVI looked at Tony in disbelief. I came here because I wanted the both of us to get intimate as since we started dating, we had never done so. I had long been craving for today but seems he had other plans."I am really sorry Cindy. I just can't do it. You won't understand." Tony said.I didn't come here dressed like this to be insulted. I knew exactly what to do.Luckily for me, I brought some enhancers. I felt he might bail out on me so I needed to act smart."It's ok sweetheart. I understand you. I first of all am scared of it. But that doesn't matter. I need some fruit juice please." I pleaded with him."Check the mini fridge that way.""Will you drink too?" I asked him and he nodded.I took two glasses and emptied the sex pill content in one glass. I poured th
Tony's POVI woke up with a terrible headache and onn trying to adjust my sleeping position, I saw a figure lying in bed next to me. I flinched!Taking a proper look at the figure, since my vision was blurry, but now ok, I noticed it was a lady's body. But she seemed to be naked.I checked under the duvet and she was indeed as I had presumed and not just that, even I was naked.I tried recalling what happened here last night.Cindy came to my room dressed...Gosh!! I exclaimed as I sat up, feeling disgusted.Cindy actually drugged me to satisfy her selfish desires.I decided not to bother her so I left her to her sleep. But one thing is for sure, I can't be with her anymore. I went back to my room and locked my door. I need to take precautions.But I still
Sophia's POVI slept sound like a new born baby and woke up stretching my whole body while yawning."I thought you won't wake up again." I heard a voice say. That voice... Just three days that I have been hearing the voice, I can recognize it anytime and any day. I turned sharply, to him and he was there smiling. I just glared at him and said nothing. I got down from the bed and walked my way out when his hand held my wrist, so tight."Let go of me." I said in struggles."I thought you won't talk to me. And tell me, is that how to answer your husband to be?" He asked and I scoffed loudly."Let me be." I said while struggling to free myself but as usual, his grip on me was stronger. So we both fell on the bed together.Our eyes locked into each other's spelling shock, surprised or amazement. I don't know how long we both stayed in tha
AUTHOR's NARRATIONSophia rushed in quickly without any hesitation, without looking back, without any care. For as long as the information about the deceased Jennifer Howells still weighed her mind, then there was no way for her to mind anything happening around her.She bumped into a nurse who quickly held her by the arm."Let go of me." She scolded."I need to see things for myself." She said."I need to see her body." She added in a tone full of hurt. By this time around, tears had started settling at the bottom of her eyelids."How did it happen?" She asked the nurse who shrugged.The nurse tried to explain, but Sophia ran passed her into the private ward where Jennifer was admitted.She wore a confused expression on her face as soon as she entered the ward."What the..." She wasn't allowed th
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"I did it because I felt guilty." Sophia said."You know that feeling you get when you know you are responsible for what happened." She added."You mean guilt." Tony said and she nodded.She walked to her desk and dropped the document in her hand. She turned back to him and saw him smiling at her. Looking intensely at him, she started blushing. She quickly turned her face to make sure he didn't notice.*_Tony_*It's just three days that we met and I feel so attracted. But someone once said just a is enough to change things. I think I can say same about my newly developed feelings for her. Three days is enough develop feelings for her.She looks perfect in her green tank top as it matches the colours of her eyes. She noticed how my eyes didn't trail off her even for a single minute. I was even smiling for no reason
*Tony*I stood there staring at her with mouth opened. She looked so stunning in that dress, I barely recognized her as boss queen. She had loosened her hair and coiled it. I watched her draw closer as she descended the stairs. I studied her every single step she made. Thanks to the short length of the gown, I was able to look and admire her perfect and flawless straight legs."Hi!" She greeted as soon as she reached where I stood, the exit door of their house. I suddenly lost my tongue because I knew not what to say."You look breathtakingly gorgeous." I complimented the very first thing that came in mind."Well you don't look bad either." She replied and I nodded.We stood there staring at each other in the eyes and I don't know if her eyes communicated what mine did because she broke off the connection."Well let's get going." I tol
