Sophia's POV I walked out of my bathroom, I needed to get dressed for today's meeting with Damian. I had been occupied since Damian said I should resume the interview, he had been occupied as well. I decided to leave Hillary's place days after the dark room incident. Just then my phone began to buzz, it was a call from Claire, “Hello darling, good morning.” I said smiling like I haven't heard from her in years, “I'm good, how about you?” She said, sounding like she had just woken up from a long sleep, “I'm okay, you're just waking up?” I asked, putting the phone on a loud speaker to hasten up with my preparation. “Yeah, I will be at work by 10am Today,” She said, “Oh okay, I have an interview this morning with Damian and would like to meet up too, how's mom?” I asked, wearing a huge smile on my face, while I put on my jewelry. “She's fine, haven't been to her place because she's been so occupied with work and I've been so occupied as well,” she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep. “I
Author's POV Victor, Damian's right hand man drove into ‘The Wilson's Home.’ That was the write up, boldly designed on the big white mansion. He gently opened the door and stepped down, “Welcome Son,” Mr. Wilson Blackwood, fair. A tall, white bearded man dashed out of the house to welcome his son, He pulled Damian into a hug and held him tight,Dad I'm here because you said you needed to talk to your children and nothing else.” He said, his voice deep and cold, his Dad gave him a grin, “Aren't you happy to see me?” Mr. Wilson asked. “Sure, I am.” Damian said forcing a smile across his lips while he walked into the mansion with his Dad, Mr. Wilson. “What took you so long Damian?” Josephine Blackwood, Damian's step sister snapped. She was older than Damian, more responsible than Evelyn but quite mean and unbearable to be with. Damian glared at her, “My affairs are none of your business.” He said, anger slipping through his tone, “You don't do that in my presence! your children haven't c
Sophia's POV The driver drove quietly into Hillary's compound, he packed in front of the compound, and I pushed the door slightly and came down. I walked briskly into the mansion, “Why didn't you inform me that you were going to meet Damian?” Hillary's voice had welcomed me when I shut the door after I had stepped inside, I was stunned. “It was impromptu, I was at Claire's house when he called saying he wanted to meet with me,” I said calmly and softly. “And you thought not to have told me, by the way I don't care, what is the information now?” He said while he sat on the cushion in his living room, “Went to the orphanage, I think that's where his happiness lies in the orphanage. He talked about how he and Emilia had always discussed coming to the orphanage when they finally grew up, he also…” He snapped at me, “That's not the information I want Sophia!” He said, almost raising his voice, he glared at me. “You have to take your job to the next level,” He added while he looked away, t
Sophia's POV He drove into a quiet place, it was an orphanage. I could see some kids playing around. “What are we doing here?” I asked, my voice low and calm, laced with curiosity. He gave me a cold stare, “I wanted you to accompany me here,” He said while he fixed his gaze on me, “I grew up in the orphanage and since I left, I come here every year. I come to drop things with them, spend time with them and go,” I added, then turned his gaze to the kids, for the first time there was a genuine smile on his face, “Every year? Mmm you must really love kids then,” I said and my lips twitched into a smile while I also stared at the kids, “I come here once a year,” He said, Just then a nun came out, she rushed to one of the kids and pulled her by the ear, screaming at her, she looked like a Ten year old, the little girl shifted back in fear. I shivered, I began to sweat profusely. My heart raced faster, Something flashed through my mind, The dream. Another memory came to my head like it did
Sophia's POV The driver slowly stopped to pack in front of Claire's mom apartment, Hillary had instructed his driver to bring me over to Mrs. Pat Reynolds place. “Heyyy look who we have here,” Mrs Pat Reynolds said the moment I stepped down. She sounded excited, she stood at the balcony, upstairs, “Good day Mrs Reynolds,” I said smiling sheepishly, excitement had taken over my heart. I was really excited to see her, “I'm coming down,” She said waving her hands, “You look beautiful by the way,” She said, screaming while she left the balcony. I looked at what I had worn, it was a blue mom jean, a white crop top and jacket with a matching black heels and bag, I walked inside, “Hellooo bestfriend,” Claire screamed while she tried ran to hug me, “You girls are funny, you hug like you haven't been with each other for ages,” She said rolling her eyes while she sat on the couch, and we all burst into a loud laughter, “How have you been Sophia? How's work?” She asked, wearing a huge smile, C
Sophia's POV I gently stepped out of the car, and closed the door. Hillary walked up to me, “Give me your hands,” He said, stretching his hands for mine, I quickly placed my hands on his. We had to take the photoshoot in other to suit plan, “You know, sometimes you would be coming over to my place, he whispered in my ears while we climbed the stairs leading to the studio room, I gazed at him for moment, shocked and confused, I arched my brows, “ You stopped allowing me come over to your place after journalism school,” I said, my words coming out slowly and bluntly. He stared at me and chuckled, “I want you in place tonight,” I paused halfway, my draw dropped in shock, “Why? I have to be at Claire's mom's place tomorrow,” I said, giving him a stern look. Even if I liked him, I shouldn't allow him to speak to me like I was some kind of clown. He shifted his gaze to me, “You can go from my house,” He said while we approached the glass door of the studio house, A part of me became sad an
