SOPHIA How could I have believed Damian would slap the hell out of me? Not just once but twice. He once promised me I made his life easy so he wouldn't let anything happen to me. Not even he will dare to place his hands on me but he has done it. He has been hurting me. This time around he didn't lock me up like the other time, but he did the most painful thing to me by taking my phone away from me. No making of calls, no binge-watching of contents. The thought of it is making me lose my mind. My phone is the next thing that keeps me going aside from Selena. For a week now, I haven't heard from Dad because I can't afford to lie anymore to him when he requires to know if I am fine. At first, I was telling him we were living well and everything was fine but he kept on telling me he was worried about me. I understand the fatherly love but if I tell him all that has been happening recently, he will blame himself for giving me out for this marriage in the first place and he won't forgive
SOPHIA I huffed to calm myself from the nervousness his glaring gaze had on me then I stepped into the room hesitantly, carefully closing the door, making sure it made no awry sound so I wouldn't make things worse than it was. I stood in front of Damian as his gaze scanned me, my eyes flickering like I had done something awry and was brought under the law. “Can we talk?” I said quickly as my voice came barely above a whisper, my heart pounding so hard in my chest. He sat still, glaring at me, and that only stiffened the expression on his face. I managed to maintain eye contact with him for a while and I must tell you that all I saw in his eyes was hatred. I understand, for a man of authority and prestige like him all that I caused him, I mean all that I was used as a scapegoat that I caused him is something to be mad at me. But I can't take the blame. I didn't do it. Didn't Dr. Lucas tell him I was given an aphrodisiac that day at the hotel? He ran a test on me when I was carr
SOPHIA Melissa got up from the couch and ran towards Damian, grinning with a broad smile plastered on her disgusting face. She opened her arms for a hug and Damian also did the same. Instead of Damian hugging her, he held her by her hands and drew her close into a deep kiss. They kissed passionately and Melissa was moaning in pleasure. I don't know if she was doing that to get me pained but for sure it tugged my heart with pain. All those while, I shut the newspaper and calmly kept it by my side as I seethed staring at them. Oh yeah, I never wanted them, none of them to think I am hurt seeing lovebirds make love sneerily in my presence. I couldn't help but reveal the unexpressed anger on my face as a groan escaped my lips as I frowned at them.They pulled away from the kiss, Damian's hand possessively encircled Melissa's Waist and his other hand around her upper back. Melissa hung her hands around Damian’s neck, their smiling faces locked together. They leaned in and pressed thei
DAMIAN For four days now, I have been seeing how lonely and emotional Sophia has been. The only person she talks to is Selena. Yes, she messed up. She did the worst scandal I ever thought she couldn't do. I never thought she could be like that but she did be. At times I do wonder if all that Authur told me about her was true. He told me she wasn't a pervert but now I am seeing a different Sophia. How bad can she get? Huh? I couldn't help but question myself and if someone could give me a reasonable answer to the question I would be the happiest man on earth. If not for the fact that Authur has been working with me for years and I trusted him so well I would have made him suffer for giving me false pieces of information about Sophia, or was Authur right about her? Or did she suddenly change? I don't know sh*t. I made up my mind to avoid her but… but whenever I set my eyes on her she does things to my heart. My blood does rush down there and my head always ends up being a mess at th
SOPHIA When I heard Melissa greet someone “Good morning Sir,” I was about to wonder who it was but I tossed the thought when Damian's scent caught my nostrils. The smiles I had on while I was talking excitedly with Selena vanished in the blink of an eye. My face became aloof and my heart pained like someone squeezed it into a piece of paper. What is he doing here? I couldn't help but question the hell out of myself. I tried not to put on a frowning face but I couldn't since my heart was heavy with emotions. My face has to follow my heart. I can't pretend to be unaffected after he believed all the lies and made me the bad egg. I just needed him to believe in me that I didn't do anything of those things flying around that I didI stared at him briefly and I could see emotions in his eyes. I am sure it is because of the last deal he lost that is becoming a big deal for him to pass over. I wished you would have lost a deal again and again and again for all I know is I don't care. The e
SOPHIA. I leaned at the wall near the window with my hands crossed over my chest, frowning at the beautiful view of the countryside. Different thoughts ran through my head and I was also tired of the kind of life I was living. I am so dumb for thinking in the first place I married the right one for myself.A lonely tear found its wall down my cheek which I had no idea it formed in my eye. I just felt it trailing down my cheek. My phone rang, I slowly turned to look at the phone beside the pillow and the sound of the ringing phone only deepened the frown on my already emotional face. “Who could be disturbing me?” I thought lowering my hands from my chest as I stood still like I had no life in me. The ringing came to a halt after some time so I decided to keep frowning at the view of the countryside through my window. At least, it's a good thing to look at.I snarled when the phone started ringing again, “The person won't quit” I uttered inwardly with my fists clenched by my sides
SOPHIA What could it be? I wondered as my phone chimed and I took it up with my eyes engrossed in the screen‘Meet me in the sitting room right now, Sophia.’ The text message sounds very urgent. I got up from the bed and I tied my gown around my body. “I'm here Dad,” my voice struck into his reverie as he sat on the couch with his shoulder slumped, he gave a sharp inhale as he stared at me with his eyes shadowed in frustration. What might be wrong with him? it should better be something measly, I thought. “Sophia I called for you because you will be getting married to Damian in a few days.” He huffed then cringed his head in shame as his foot kept tapping the floor slowly. My body stiffened as my eyes widened.Unbelievable! With a confused look, “What? Is that a joke? I don't understand why telling me this out of nowhere,” My voice quivered. He slowly looked at me with his head slightly raised, “You have to Sophie, consider me, else I will end up in jail.” I stood right in f
SOPHIA I stormed out of the house without looking back or caring to listen to my Dad as he called behind me. I just can't sit and watch my humble self get married to a man I haven't seen in my entire life. My greatest fear is he is a billionaire. Who knows if he is Christian Grey kind of Billionaire? God forbid. I have to put in my best. I love Jimmy. What will become of him if he knows that I am getting married to someone else? He won't take it likely on himself because Jimmy loves me too. I have to go talk to him. He has been supportive since I have been with him, He is caring and to crown it all he respects me a lot. I can't break a good man's heart. My heart won't let me be since my guilty conscience will deal the hell out of me.“Take me to Nw 7th Avenue Rd.” I got into the car so I will go talk to Jimmy. He is not that rich but he has a reasonable number of well-to-do friends. He can come up with something reasonable and also get some help from his friends since they are his f
