SOPHIA.

“How bad is it?” I asked Carla when I arrived at work the next day.

We were in my office where Carla was briefing me about what I had missed when I took the day off the previous day for my hospital appointment.

A new investment had suddenly joined the market yesterday and immediately started poaching our investors.

I found it strange that they began to go after our investors the moment they launched their company.

It was only after Lucas told me it was Arelli Bennett’s doing that I understood what was going on. This was personal. She was probably trying to use money and power to intimidate me, but that wasn’t going to work on me.

If she was picking a fight, it was gonna be a losing battle for her. I didn’t start the investment company to let anyone trample on it just because they thought they ruled the world.

“It’s really bad. As it stands, our investment company has been pushed back from its initial progress. L&A investment company is rising every minute that passes,”

    LUCAS.“I swear, this is so good,” Sophia murmured as she took a scoop of her ice cream. I let a smile curl on my lips as I watched her, my heart rejoicing as I saw the satisfied look on her face. She had eaten so much, and I loved that she was finally getting some food in her belly. Before we left the restaurant, she had asked for ice cream which she was now having as we sat in the backseat of the car. I loved seeing her look so vibrant and happy. Moving closer, I leaned in and whispered in her ears, “I know what else will feel good.” She paused, staring at me with wide eyes, and I let out a chuckle when I saw her cream moustache. So cute...I pressed a button on my armrest, raising the partition that separated the front from the back, giving us privacy. “Luca, are you trying to be naughty in the car when Wilson is driving us?” She asked with a raised eyebrow. “He won’t be able to hear or see anything,” I murmured, grabbing her chin and tilting her head up. “I want some ice

    SOPHIA. A few days passed, and I forgot all about Arelli Bennett. Lucas and I were going for my antenatal appointment at the hospital. I had been feeling tired lately, and I didn’t have much of an appetite, so I had lost a little weight. Lucas was worried because he had tried to get me to eat different types of food, but I couldn’t keep anything down. Lucas tightened his hold on my hand as we walked through the hallway, heading to the doctor’s office. I let out a chuckle, glancing at our intertwined hands. “Relax… one would think you’re the one who is pregnant. How come you're more anxious than I am?” “I’m worried sick. I need to find out why you can’t eat proper food. You’re carrying three babies, you need all the nutrients you can get,” he said. “I’m also excited to see our triplets again.”“They haven’t changed much. Only a month has passed since you saw them, remember?” I replied. "I still want to see them. We only have a few weeks to our wedding, I want to see them before

    LUCAS.I didn’t expect my father’s friend, Gregory Bennett, to ask me to divorce Sophia and marry his daughter. When he called for a meeting, I thought he just wanted us to talk about the new projects for Savvy Tech and what other plans I had for the company. To my surprise, I found him waiting in the restaurant with his daughter, Arelli Bennett. A woman I regretted dating and leading on in the past. I admit, I had impulsively agreed to the contract and dating, thinking Sophia and I could never be together in this lifetime. But, I couldn’t get myself to forget her even though she had been married to another man back then. So, I ended things with Arelli because I was wasting both our time. Gregory asked to speak to me in private, and that’s how we moved to the empty lounge next to the room we were in. From there, Gregory glanced at me seriously. “How’s your relationship with your wife? I heard she’s your nephew’s ex-wife.”I furrowed my eyebrows, not liking where this conversat

    ARELLI. I had always been in love with Lucas. From the first time I met him when Dad and I came over to Edenport City to check Dad's investments, Lucas had always been my first love. I had already made a vow to become his wife in this lifetime. Even if he didn’t know anything about the vow. My goal in life was to become his wife, nothing more, nothing less. For years, I had begged Dad to arrange my marriage to Lucas. Since he was Lucas’s father’s childhood friend, I thought it would be easier to make my dreams come true. All Steven Hart had to do was order his son to marry me. But boy was I wrong. As it turned out, Steven Hart loved Lucas so much that he wasn’t able to force Lucas to marry me. He wanted his son to have his right of choice, so even though he had mentioned our marriage to Lucas, as long as Lucas didn’t agree, there wasn’t going to be a wedding.It was three years ago when an opportunity to marry Lucas presented itself. He left the country and asked Dad to help

    VIOLET. “Get rid of everything that belongs to Elias. The name of this villa should be changed too.”I jolted upright when I heard those words, only to find Richard Hart, my so-called father-in-law, in the living room. Looking around, I realised I had slept on the couch when I returned the previous night. Elias getting arrested was a huge blow to me… I had nowhere to go and hoped I could still live at the villa a little longer. I didn’t expect to be chased out so soon. I glanced at Richard, and he had a mocking smirk on his face. “Show’s over. You can leave the stage now,” he said. “D-dad…”“Who are you calling Dad? I have no daughter like you,” he sneered. His men were already removing things from the villa. It was like they were preparing it for a new occupant. “Can I stay here for a little while until I get myself back on my feet?” I asked, my voice shaking. I still needed time to come up with a plan. There’s no way I would go back to living in one-roomed rented apartments

    SOPHIA.I froze. My heart slammed so hard against my ribcage that I could hear it in my ears. “I’m sure you’ve never heard of me, right?” Her sharp voice reached my ears. She had a smile on her face, but her words were laced with a hidden mocking tone. Before I could reply, she beat me to it, adding, “Luca, don’t tell me you never told Sophia about us. She looks so surprised.” A flare of fierce jealousy washed over me. How dare she call him by that name? Only I could call him Luca. “Arelli…” Lucas said through gritted teeth. “Mind the way you speak to my wife… You and I were over a long time ago. And you know you’re not allowed to call me that.” Arelli turned to look at Lucas, a sad look flitting through her eyes before glancing at her father. “Dad, see what I told you? This is why I needed you here to help me pump some sense into Lucas. I’m the only woman he can marry.”The elderly man chuckled awkwardly. “Lucas, I’m sorry about this. I spoiled my daughter so much. There was l

    SOPHIA.When I went to the company the next day, Carla engulfed me in a bone-crushing hug. “I was so worried, hun. I’m so glad you’re ok and Elias is finally behind bars,” she said, pulling back from the hug. A smile crossed my lips. “He finally went crazy and kidnapped me, not knowing it would mark the beginning of his suffering.” The news was everywhere by this morning. Daniel Walter was picked up from his expensive mansion in the east of the city and taken to the police like a regular criminal. It was true what they said. No one was above the law. Even Kings and Queens were unanswerable to someone somehow. Elias and Daniel probably thought that a day when someone would uncover their crimes would never come. I wanted to visit Elias and ask him why he murdered my parents, but I'll do that later. I had told Lucas about Elias's adoption last night, and he said he would investigate the matter. “You did it, girl! You finally avenged yourself and your parents. I’m sure your parent

    SOPHIA. My heart slammed against my ribcage as Lucas’s words sank in. So, he married me because my father offered him twenty percent shares of the Adams Group?I felt my heart clench as a wave of anger washed over me at the betrayal. Please tell me this wasn't real... Lucas wouldn't do that to me, would he?“So you’re one of the major shareholders in the Adams group? Why didn’t you tell me? Were you afraid that I wouldn’t marry you and you wouldn’t get your hands on the shares?” I questioned, yanking my hand out of his hold. Hurt flickered through his eyes at the move. “Soph, my love, it’s not what you think. I didn’t marry you because of the shares-““But you just said my father had offered to give you shares if you agreed to marry me. How long had you been plotting to marry me so you could become a major shareholder in my company? I thought you were sincere with your feelings. And that story about how you've loved me for years... was that a lie too?” A glint of guilt flashed
