SOPHIA Arthur took me by my arm reluctantly like he felt sorry for me and I got up from my feet as I was kneeling on the expensive tiles exhaustively. I don't know how I was feeling guilt crept over me as I cringed my head in shame. It's all my fault if it were not for me, Mark wouldn't have jabbed him a blow in the face. Seeing the sneerly look on Melissa's face twisted my heart in pain but the shame over me never left me. As we were out of Damian's sight Arthur let go of my hand as he was holding me like a criminal who was brought under the law in court and he moved fast in front of me, “Follow me, Miss Kingsley,” He said his words full of emotions as he trailed without looking in my direction. I followed as he said or commanded, whichever one it meant I don't know and he stopped by a door as he inputted the password of the door and the device beeped at every button he pressed. Interesting, this is serious. Since I have been in this house I haven't seen any door with password l

SOPHIA “Shut up you bitch,” I snarled revealing my teeth, and a groan escaped my mouth as the expression on my face hardened, I slammed several blows on the bed continuously before tossing the quilt away from my body and I sat upright as I frowned. My gaze traveled slowly around the ample bedroom and the whole place felt too big and the silence made me frown more. Damian had become grumpy and mean. He keeps avoiding me. I turned and looked at the bed with my hand slowly placed at the spot he always sleeps and my heart was clogged with emotions. I missed you, Damian. I missed the days when you snuck into my room and made me sleep with my head placed on your chest. Don't I used to give you peace of mind anymore? I am not the girl who brought so much happiness to your life? That girl which you looked into her eyes and told her, she healed you from insomnia, and because of that you would make sure she is always happy and nothing can be in between you and her. I couldn't help but questi

SOPHIA Hearing the voice made me close my eyes gently as I heaved letting my thoughts to a more calm place. I didn't need to look at who just spoke because I knew who it was. Even as I didn't look at him I was taken aback. What business does he have to do here? Or has he been following me up to know where I work as well? I wondered. Damian glared at him with his fists clenched by his sides. “Did my question rip off your tongue?” Mark said sneerily and the furious look on Damian's face became more stronger. “I ask again. What proof do you have to back that up?” He said calmly taking a few steps into the hall.Damian turned to us sitting around the table, “Everyone, leave!” He said huskily and immediately, murmuring filled the hall as they stood up to leave, each person talking to the other, their voices barely above a whisper.After a while, the hall was silent as the people Damian instructed to leave were gone. It was just us, Damian with Mark and Me with Authur and some other sec

SOPHIAAs we sat in the car not knowing where Mark was taking me, I cried till I couldn't cry anymore as I sat with my head placed on his chest and his arm wrapped around me. I didn't know when I gave in to the exhaustion and I drifted off to sleep. The next thing I felt was my head placed on a hard surface as I was held in bridal style. I resisted the urge to open my eyes and look at him and also where he was taking me since I had so much trust in him, he couldn't do anything silly.After a while of strutting with me in his hands, I heard the sound of a door creaking as it opened and he went in with me in his hands. I felt my back placed on a soft surface then my head laying calmly as well on the soft surface. I guess that was the bed he was laying me on. I felt my stilettos taken off from my feet and the next thing, stiff clothing covered my body and I writhed, turning to sleep on my side. I heard footsteps walking away from me and then the sound of the closing door. Immediately

SOPHIA For the past four days, Damian did not let a day pass without drinking himself to a mess and I am angry with him for doing so and also for not delving deep into issues before passing his final judgment. Why would Damian of all people let himself with all his wealth be deceived easily? If Melissa could run a background check to find more details about me, tell me why can't Damian do so for crucial matters. He is just so gullible. He is so blinded by Melissa. Seeing him drink himself to mess made me sad. Deep down I know I still care even though I am grumpy and reserved these days making sure I mind my business but it's hard for me.The day I slept away from home in Mark's house, it's been just me and Selena. After I felt better, I had a warm shower and got dressed in comfortable clothes before heading down to the dining room for dinner. I asked Selena if my husband had come home but she told me he hadn't. All through the dinner I wasn't comfortable, my instincts kept troubling
