Unlike her son, Olivia Bestman was nice to Sophia only because she was family.
She was a woman of glamour and exotic styles, Who loved going out of her way to do things for her loved ones. So when she visited, she came with her chef from her home and some maids saying she wanted to prepare a nice large dinner for her son and his wife.

It was raining heavily!!!.... 6:30 am. That was when Sabina left her quarters to come to work in the rain, she was always known to be punctual, unlike her fellow maid Zara who procrastinated a lot. Sabina needed to be at the house on time and help Sophia with her early morning routine. No matter the weather, one needed to bathe and prepare for the day, and being very responsible and quiet, she hurried with her umbrella and entered the vicinity. Once inside, she turned on the passage light and living room through to the kitchen. Sometimes the house would be so blacked out with the thick curtains preventing light from outside penetrating. One had to turn on the light bulbs for a better view. She checked the kitchen and after having a little breakfast she walked to Sophia's room to wake her up as usual. Sabina thought of her life in the house. She liked it, at least she wasn't treated ba

She fell!... She thought she could walk again, so soon. With her therapy and exercise going successfully she wanted to try walking on her own without help from anyone. At least it would help her escape the walls of this house reminded me so much of her disability. Sophia stood from her wheelchair and held onto the dining table for support, but she miscalculated. The tiles were so slippery for her convalescence legs and she slipped, knocking down a glass jar with her. The shattered particles sliced into her upper elbow. It took a while for Sophia to feel the pain and she wailed sorrowfully. No one was nearby to help. Jason was out avoiding her as usual after their last ugly encounter and she had no idea where Sabina and Zara were. As she sat there in pain, she thought this wasn't the first time it happened. Suddenly it all played like a movie, Déjà v

He blamed himself for it!... He stood by the hallway and waited impatiently feeling out of place. Everyone deserved to be with her at this point except for him. He was a monster and deserved to be cast away from the earth's surface. But he still stood there with a little hope that she might still accept him. Jason sighed for the umpteenth time since he got a heads up from one of the maids about Sophia's situation. He left everything to his uttermost surprise and drove recklessly to the hospital and was told to wait in the lobby because she was in the ICU. His mother came sooner and gushed over how dangerous home accidents were and talked endlessly of the worst-case scenarios, causing Jason to almost snap at her. It wasn't what he wanted to hear at that point, negativism. His mother sat behind him looking collected and calm but he could see the turmoil she was passing through and not really because Sophia was inside there bu

To her greatest astonishment!... He was always around whenever she needed anything, causing the maids to focus more in the kitchen because Jason had refused to leave the house nor take a rest when it concerned Sophia. He would check on her every minute. It almost began to get on her nerves, because she wasn't ready to forgive him and live as if they both were a happy couple. Though she was still getting to the reality of how evil Maureen was. To throw her out of the house that night and left her in the cold rainy weather. Sophia recalled how she woke in the hospital, and found Jason in a grotesque position on the tiny couch at the edge, looking so uncomfortable. She wondered what he was doing there. Or maybe the sedative was making her see things. Because when she woke the next morning, she was only met with a group of doctors including Stanley. But there was no sign of Jason on the couc

The night before!... After she was done with relieving herself, that night Jason carried her back meticulously to her side of the bed and made sure she was covered from cold. Sophia was astounded, still for the fact that he didn't run off in embarrassment as he did before. rather he hopped on the other side and joined her but keeping his distance. "Why didn't you run off like before? I thought it repulsed you?" She asked facing the POP ceiling. Jason frowned, obviously she had misinterpreted his actions then. "I was never embarrassed, I was rather hurt and hated myself for putting you in this painful situation, I mean does this happen often?" He sat upon his elbow. She shook her head, and silence followed. When Jason thought she wasn't going to explain further she started. "Only on few occasions, when Zara forgets or I forget to relieve myself before bedtime. It's embarrassing I know, I just... I just have to adjust to neve
FATE Chapter thirty one
There was an awkward silence!.. As both of them sat in the large room waiting for the doctor to return with Sophia's report. Jason couldn't let his gaze off Sophia for reasons he knew not. He wasn't sure if it was because of Sean's previous eerie warnings on how innocent and pretentious women can be, but anytime his curious gaze found Sophia's innocent face, all his doubts disappeared with it. Sure she was a sight to behold and the way she always wriggled her nose in discomfort made him smile. She was an interesting someone. But on the other hand, Sophia wasn't finding it funny, the way he pinned her with his constant gaze. With every movement she made, his eyes followed and she had a constant need to scratch her nose but it felt so awkward doing it before him. She prayed deeply that the doctor would reappear soon. Astounded was the word to describe how Sophia's felt when

The August visit!!!... Charlotte rushed towards Jason once her gaze fell on him. It had been weeks and days he had been avoiding her and she didn't know what to do. The first time she came to his house she was dead drunk and didn't know her bearing. She had to prod Sean before he revealed Jason's address. Relieved, was how she felt setting eyes on Jason who looked angry and tired. She fell into his arms before Jason could comprehend a thing. "Baby, thank goodness you're alright. I thought you've gone on one of your disturbing escapades" she showered swift wet kisses on his neck as she clutched to him firmly, afraid he might push her away. Sophia rolled in at that moment to behold the unprecedented drama. This time around, her emotions weren't just everywhere they were drained. After the little fight, they had on their way home she was expecting to return home and rest maybe t
FATE Chapter Thirty three
It rained heavily that night!... He was drunk and drained of energy. He wanted to give up everything so badly but the thought of a lonely someone kept him sane and he wanted to fight for what they had till his last breath. That was his conclusion as he stepped into the dark cold room to find her awake staring into nothingness. His feet felt too heavy to move once her apprehensive gaze fell on him, her countenance changed to that of a stranger. “You still keep them around?” Sophia questioned dryly. Jason stopped moving closer. “What?!.” “What did she want now?” she continued, ignoring his previous question. Jason wanted to explain everything from top to bottom, but the intensity of what he was about to say weighed down on him so much, he was afraid Sophia could not bear it. “Why are you doing this?... What’s your bloody aim Jason?!” she
