Sofie's POVI heaved a sigh of despondence as my heart sunk to the pit of my belly, on sighting the imposing structure of Roman's estate."We're here." I mumbled quietly, to which Damien hummed."Do not hesitate to call me if you need anything, Sofie, and I mean literally anything, okay?" Damien uttered, unbuckling his seat belt and making to head out of the car.I deduced he wanted to assist me with the car door, so I quickly spoke, "It's fine, I can open the door on my own.""But seriously Sofie, don't forget to let me know if you need my help, and also please think carefully about this decision of yours to keep the pregnancy a secret from Roman." He reiterated himself."The first one, I will. But the second one, I can't say." I muttered, keeping my gaze rooted to the my lap.I heard him sigh. "I won't force you, I will try to respect your decision because after all, it is you who is carrying the child. Just make sure to take care of yourself and the little one inside you."I was mo

Sofie's POVI sighed as I turned sideways with my hands caressing my belly.I was gradually gaining weight, and my clothes were starting to get tighter around my waist. I had changed my clothes thrice that morning and still, I couldn't find something to fit in.The funniest thing was that my stomach had not even rounded to the slightest of bumps, but I was rapidly gaining weight.With a deep exhale, I changed into a pair of joggers and sweatshirt as they were the only clothes that I could comfortably fit into.Soon, I was on my way to a boutique to get some maternity clothes. But while I was in the taxi, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful pink sundress through a glass window, and before my brain could process the gorgeousness of the dress, I told the driver to stop and I paid him."Welcome, Miss. What would you like to get from us today?" A smily-faced, young woman asked, as I sauntered into the glass building of the boutique."That." I said, pointing to the flowery dress.She follow

Sofie's POVI had a dream; a weird, obscene dream.In my vile dream, Roman was on top of me, kissing me with such ferociousness and fervor that it felt as though I was just a prostitute he had paid to fuck, and not his girlfriend.He was trailing harsh hickeys down from my jaw down to the cleavage of my chest while muttering angry italian words whose meanings I couldn't decipher.In a bid to stop the mad dream from continuing, I forced my eyes open with a loud gasp, but my eyes only widened in horror to the size of saucers when I realized my dream was not only real but even more horrible to view in reality.Roman was really on top of me, and was really trailing rough kisses down the slope of my chest. He fisted one of my boobs with a hand, while the other hand rapidly unbuttoned my night shirt with an hasty intensity that greatly baffled and scared me."W-what is this, Roman? What the hell are you doing?" I attempted to bark at him but my voice only came out in form of a timid whimpe

Lana's POV"I still can't believe Roman had the audacity to embarrass you in front of that golddigger." My best friend, Jessica Coleman said as the maid poured us two glasses of iced whiskey."That bastard will pay for his actions, and I really mean it. I'm going to take the most important thing in his life away from him, then he'd have no option but to return to me." I giggled, but my short moment of manic excitement was cut short by the maid's clumsiness.She had tripped and in the process–she had broken the half-filled bottle of whiskey."Please pardon my mistake this once, Madam Lana. I didn't look where I was going, ma." She knelt, begging profusely and not daring to look me in the eye."You stupid imbecile, is that bottle too heavy for you to carry? Do you know how expensive that whiskey is? Don't worry, I'll make sure you use your miserable, meager salary to pay for it, now get your useless self out of my sight, fool!" I barked, and she cowered but nevertheless, she scrambled o

Roman's POV "Postpone my meeting with the marketing team indefinitely and tell the team leader of the auditing department to meet me in two hours for a brief meeting." I instructed Nathan, as we both walked into my office.We had just finished attending a meeting with some shareholders from other companies, and for some reason I couldn't quite fathom, most of them were asking to sell their shares to get their money back."Sir, Alexander Guilon has withdrawn from the business proposal, sir. He asked me to inform you." Nathan said, as I sat on the swivel chair.My fave contorted into a frown, as I tried to deduce what could have brought the sudden withdrawal. The Alexander Guilon I knew had been quite desperate to form a business alliance with me, so having him cancel his plea to merge our companies was really strange to hear.I shook off the irritable memories of what had transpired between us, on the last day he had been to my company as I scrolled through my tablet, to see the rest
