Aaron Samuel"Agreed, you lost all trust that you have for me but, you still want me, Aaron. You still love me and we can work this out. I know I did hurt you and I'm sorry for doing that." She said.She was right. How could I have forgotten that she knows so much about me. Deep down in me, I still feel something for her. My heart still beat weirdly when she's around me. But, despite realising all of this, I feel no excitement around her. I feel nothing in me. My heart might still beat weirdly around her but, I feel no happiness just in same way, I felt whenever Sophia is close to me. I'm trying hard to deny this feeling but, it's not working for me. Sophia is making me weak slowly and I don't like that idea at all."I know, you hardly take your meal especially when you engross yourself too much with work. I'm here now, for you. I brought you your favorite to eat and please, do not turn me down. I work hard to make this to your taste" She cleared my table and placed the lunch box on

Aaron Samuel"Please Aaron, I can-""You were not the one who got hurt, I did! Because you hurt me, I'm not healed yet, and now, you tell me to forget about everything that has happened?" I burst angrily at her. "I'm sorry okay? I know you're hurt and that's why I'm here, Aaron. I'm here to set things right between us. I've once lost you and I'm not ready to lose you again. I can make it up to you only if you give me the chance to. I'm ready to do anything just to set things right again between us" She said as she caress my cheek. Seeing her like this, I can't say or do anything other than a deep sigh that left my lip."I'm aware that dad wants you to take over his empire and he has been pressuring you to get married before he does. I'm here now, that's why I'm here to help you take over the empire. I heard, becoming the owner means, you'll become the richest man in the whole world. No one can beat you, not even the president of this country. I'm aware of how much the empire means

Sophia CensatioAll through the ride, I was thinking of Seb. I had promised I was going to treat him to lunch this afternoon but, Aaron had to show up and won't let me be. He wouldn't even give me the chance to talk. He kept threatening me he was going to kiss me if I let a word out. Seb on the other hand has been calling me but I can't pick up his call. I decide to send him a text.Hey! I'm sorry, something came up. I'm with Aaron right now. I'm going to make it up to you next time.Aaron's car came to halt and we both hopped down. I stood in front of the same restaurant we both came to eat at the other day and stood there looking staring around, stunned. Is this man joking right now? Why is he not scared of the paparazzi? What if, they took pictures and make false news about us? "Wh... Why are we here?" I asked him but the idiot only stood there smirking at me. "The last time we came here, you left me all alone. I couldn't even pay for the meal we took! Your mom had to!." I bu

Sophia Censatio"Of course, Mr. Blake. It will be a pleasure to work for you." I smiled as I answered him but, not without feeling Aaron's hard glare on my body. Me Blake left the meeting room and Aaron also left to receive a call. I was left in the meeting room with Nic... No, Jonathan. I hurriedly got up and pick up my bag to leave, I do not want to be in same place with him. He has fooled me enough and, it's so uncomfortable being alone with him in same place. I took my mini iPad and turned to leave but, he stopped me with his voice."Sophia please, don't go." He said as he hold my hand." I do not want to talk to you now. Just let me go""Sophia, I know you're upset at me and you have a lot of questions going through your mind right now but please, just give me the chance to explain myself.""A chance?!" I turned around and glared at him. "A chance you say? You got all the chance while we were together but what did you do? You never use those given chance!" " It's not what you

Sophia Censatio"Yes, Sophia. Please, work for me. I promise you, I'm willing to pay you four times the amount he offered you. Just work for me, that's all I've asked for... huh?." He beseeches me as he holds my hand tightly in his."W..wh...what are you saying? Wo...wor...work for you? What about my work at Aaron's?.""Don't bother about that? I'm willing to pay you four times what he offered you." He repeated the same statement again."What nonsense are you talking about, Nic!" I burst angrily at him as I roughly yank my hand from his. I'm still not used to his new name."Sophia, I-""I can't." I immediately declined him.For some weird reason, I'm scared of leaving Aaron. I should be happy, right? If Nic won't add up to my salary, I should be happy that I've gotten a job and Aaron would finally be out of my life but, I don't want to leave him- for some weird feeling, I d don't have the gut to do that."Why?." He asked."Because I don't want. Yes, he may be arrogant and annoying at

Sophia CensatioI ran to where Aaron's car was parked and leaned against it and poured my heart out. I thought, he was sincere with me. I thought, he was someone I could always rely on and trust but.. everything was all lies. It's all fake. He wasn't genuine with me. His emotions towards me were all lies!I ought not to get myself worked up right? But, I trusted him so much but he lied to me! Not only that. He has someone else in his life but made me believe that I'm special to him."That's because you're stupid." I heard a voice say behind me. I jumped and turned around to face him. I gave him a quizzical face. What's he talking about?"I heard you, silly." He said in a small tone. I can't believe, I said that out loud.I watch him stare at me for a few seconds and sighed. He moved closer to me and muttered "stupid" before he wipe off my tears with his hands.I stared at him stunned. What's going on? What's happening? I can't believe, Aaron just wipe off my years rather than screa

Sophia CensatioI realized I was nothing but a pawn to him and suddenly pushed him away from me before running out of his. I couldn't breathe properly and ran as fast as I could to my house. I drop my bag on the floor and relaxed on my door just to catch a breath.What just happened? Oh my goodness! What does he think of me now? My whole body shivered again as I recalled how he held me tightly there in his car. I could still feel his touch on my body and the taste of his lip on mine.I brought my hand to my lip and touch it.Arrgh!!! You're getting crazy, Sophia- I groaned and smack my head softly.I took my bag and sat on the couch. Brought out my phone and dialed Janet's contact. "Tell me you call me for something important else, I'm going to roast you alive whenever I set my eyes on you." She threatened me as she pick up the call."I kissed him again." I said in a frustrated tone."Wait, what?! You kissed who? Girl, you better open up and tell me what exactly is going on. Stop be

Sophia CensatioI laugh even though it's quite hard on her. "You crazy man! I wasn't talking to you, why did you have to do that?." She jumped on him and start to tickle him.That's Nic's weakest point. He doesn't like it when he's been tickled. "Admit that you're wrong and I will let you go." She said.I sat there smiling at the two. How great it would have been if mom was to be here now."Fine! I'm sorry." He said and she get off him."So, tell me my darling Sophia. Are you fired?.""No, I'm not. Except if you want me to be fired, I will gladly tell my boss to grant your wishes." I said. Even though I didn't mean what I had just said, she took it seriously and glared hard at me."Are you crazy, Sophia!! You want to be fired?!""Don't worry, I won't be fired anytime soon. At least, I'm going to work for him for the next months.""Months? And not years?." I shook my head at her and got up."Go in and get change. I'm going to prepare something for us to eat." I said and sauntered to t
