Sophia Censatio"It's not my fault that you woke up late, Sophia. Stop stressing me and get dressed already, you've asked me this same question minutes back" This girl just doesn't know how to treat her elder sister. Stupid!"I'm going to deal with you later, but right now, isn't the time for that." I said and jumped up before sauntering to my bathroom."I can't believe she's my eldest sister. She's lucky she's older than me, I would have scolded her life and made her see right from wrong" I heard her say.What?"I heard you, you little rat!" I yelled so she could hear me."It was meant for you to." She yelled back laughing.Brat! Whenever my mind went back to what happened days back between her and Aaron, I kept on wondering if they knew each other from somewhere and I have no idea because they seemed to like each other at the spot. Two idiots!I took a quick shower, brush my teeth and walk out of the bathroom. But, what caught my eye was the neatly beautiful dress lying on my bed

Sophia Censatio"Wait." I pick up my bag and my mini-system before we both ambled downstairs and entered the kitchen.Nice hug me and he wouldn't let go that moment. "Hey! What's wrong with you?." I asked him, stunned.Both my siblings are acting weird this morning and I don't know why. "Good morning, Sophia." He said."Is there anything you two are hiding from me?" I asked the moment I broke the hug. "Sophia, don't tell me you still have no idea of what today is?" Janet asked. I laugh at her question. "What are you talking about? Okay guys, stop acting weird and tell me what the problem is" I hissed and rolled my eyes at them."Sophia, today is the day! It's your birthday." Nic exclaimed excitedly and stunned. "Wh.. what?" I hurriedly brought out my phone and check the date. Yes, they're right. It's on the 16th of March. Oh my goodness! I can't believe this. How could I have forgotten that today is my birthday? Janet went all the way to get me a dress yet, I never noticed. "

Andrea Salvador"Why?! Why don't you want me to talk about her? Why are you taking her side? I thought you wanted to use her just in the same way you've been using other girls after we broke up. Do you like her now?."Use me? How? Their break up? Were all those kisses and the way he looks at me not real?"What nonsense are you saying?! Of course, I don't like her! let's not continue with this discussion, okay? Just leave."" Why are you pushing me away, Aaron? Do you still have feelings for me? Does your heart still beat for me, especially when I'm close to you?."" Stop getting silly ideas in your head. Nothing as such is ever going to happen between us again."" You sure about that? Even after this?" She moved closer to him and kissed him.I widened my eyes and suddenly felt a pang in my chest. To make the situation worst, he kissed her back. I could move my leg, I so desperately wanted to leave but I can't seem to move my body. I'm trying so hard not to tear up right now. Suddenly,

Sophia CensatioIs everything okay with this crazy man? I can't believe he would tell me how to keep my hair. First, it's my life and now, things on my body... I can't believe he's trying to control everything.I decided to get back to work and concentrate more on it. My heart keeps beating weirdly and I believe, it's because of the silly gestures towards me. All I need to do now is get all those things out of my mind. Hours later, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I said to whoever it was at the other side of the door.Some guy came in and handed me a big envelope to me.It's obvious he's from Aaron.Very arrogant like his boss, and never did he bother to say a word. He handed the envelope to me and left. I feel like slapping the sense out of him. I wish I can but, what can an innocent small body of mine do besides his? I'm sure, he's going to break me into two if I try anything stupid with him.I called and book a flight as he instructed. I choose the V.I.P for Aaron and the

Sophia Censatio" Mr. Samuel, wh...what are you doing here?." I asked in a gentle tone. He looks upset right now. If a look could kill then, I would have been dead by now. He looks really upset when I haven't done anything wrong. What's wrong with him? "I do not think, I need permission from you to walk around my company. I build this company with my sweat! That chair you're sitting on belongs to me. Should I explain more to you or I cut it shut here?" He questioned me arrogantly.Jerk!Making a scene in presence of so many people here."That's not what I meant to say... I'm just... I mean, i-""What are you doing here?" He cut me off again."It's break time, we are here to take our lunch" Seb answered him. "Really?! Both of you? Out here to eat your lunch? When did you two become this close?." He asked with a raised brow as he pointed his index finger between Seb and me. What?!Is he aware of what he's saying at all? I see no wrong in going out to have lunch with my friend.

Sophia Censatio"I'm going to continue to torment you! Writing those shit about me has cost me a lot. Not only that, my friends had to pay for what they have no idea of and you think, I'm going to let you be like that? Do you have any idea what you caused Chris, father?" He burst at me in an angry tone. I'm confused, what is he talking about?" What are you talking about?" I asked him the same question running through my mind.I know those things I wrote about him weeks back would cost him but, never did have the intention to hurt the people close to him. I have no idea what he's talking about and, how did his friend's Dad get into this. How can I possibly have hurt him when I don't know him? And, if he was this. mad that I hurt him and his friends, why then did he refuse to lash out his anger at me but now? "Get out!" He said in a cold tone. "You have to make me understand what you're talking about. I can't just leave without understanding your full words" "Listen to me carefu

Sophia CensatioThe hard glare I received from her made me shut my mouth. "Just go in and pick up your bag. We're leaving." She said." But I-"" Now, Sophia" She added. I rushed into my office, pick up my bag and walk out to meet her. •"Can you be truthful to me? For how long has this been going on? I mean, for how long has he been treated in such a manner? He has been threatening you, right?" She questioned me. We just got to the cafeteria opposite Aaron's office. "Th... Threatened?! No, he would never thin-" she cut me off before I could finish lying. "Stop lying to me, Sophia. I don't appreciate those who lie." She warned me.I don't know what has come over me all of a sudden. Why am I trying to protect him in presence of his mom? Despite all he has done to me. Why am I like this all of a sudden? Or, was it because I was convinced earlier that I felt something for him? Is that the reason why I'm like this? "Sophia, you need to talk to me, for how has this been going on and

Aaron Samuel"Hey bro! What's up with you?." Nathan barged into my office and made himself comfortable on my sofa. I rolled my eyes at him and hissed. Acting like he owned my company. "What the hell happened here?." He asked again as he saw every scattered. The moment mom left with Sophia, I was so upset and without realizing what I was doing, in anger, I threw away all the things on my desk. Am I acting crazy? I have no idea. All that I know is, my mind isn't working straight. And my mom, why she keeps on backing her up like she's her daughter still amazes me. She even slapped me countless times all because of her! "Aaron, what's going on with you? Why is everywhere like this? Did anything happen and you didn't inform us?" He questioned again.A deep sigh left my lip. " Mom..." I trailed off but he suddenly jumped up from his seat with his eyes widened in horror. "What happened to mom? Is she okay? Why aren't you saying a word?! What the fuck happened to mom?!" He bombard me w
