It was Monday already and for Matt that meant the start of a new phase for him. It was a day he had always dreaded but here it was.Being put in charge of his father's company felt too much of a burden for him but there was nothing he could do. The announcement had already been made and even though he had always tried to avoid being a part of the business, it was still his responsibility as the son of his father to carry on his legacy.And the Davies Corporation was a part of that legacy.He looked at himself one more time in the mirror in his bedroom. "Who would have thought that you, Matt Davies would put on a suit. Argh!" He sighed.Suits were never a fashion trend he had fancied but it was one of the jobs requirements. He was more of a causal, smart casual kinda guy.Matt loved to play with his colours but being in the corporate world, business formal was now a thing if he wanted to be taken seriously in the industry."How boring." He thought.What was more exhausting for Matt w

Sophia crept into the house like a thief on a mission, trying as hard as she could to avoid making a sound but the moment she got to the bottom of the stairs, the light from the nightstand came on.She froze on the spot and slowly turned, cringing her face to look her mom."It's past 10pm Sophia. You ought to have been home hours ago." Sophia grinned and brushed her hair behind her ear. She could see the frown on her mom's face but worse was she had no idea what to tell her.Sophia wasn't ready to tell her about Matt. She didn't want her mom putting silly ideas of how he could be the one in her head.And knowing what her mom was like, she would insist on inviting him over and she wasn't ready to involve him in her personal life no matter the form of their relationship at the moment."Why are you quiet?

Daniella stared suspiciously at Sophia who couldn't keep her eyes off the clock on the wall as she tapped her nails absent mindedly on her desk.There were barely any customers at the moment so she had alot of free time on her hands.The tapping of Sophia's nails on the desk was becoming too much for Daniella to ignore and she knew she just had to ask what was going on."You've been staring so hard at that clock, it's a surprise it's still in its place and not shattered on the floor yet. Also, what's with the tapping of fingers on the desk?" "Oh!" Sophia paused and quit the tapping. "I'm sorry." She adjusted in her seat."Tell me what's on your mind. Is something the matter?" Daniella asked, concern laced in her tone.Sophia fiddled with her fingers for a while and touched the necklace on her neck. She was lost in her thoughts and her flushed cheeks showed they were happy ones."Hey, Sophia." Daniella touched her. "Are you seeing someone?" She asked, giving her the suspecting stare.

Matt gulped down the contents of his glass and began pouring himself another as Andrea watched him, pitifully. He was about to gulp down its contents when Andrea snatched the glass from his grip.“C’mon man, you’ve had just about enough drinks for tonight.” He said, pushing the bottle of liquor and glass away from Matts’ reach.“No, I just need one more glass and I’m done.” Matt pleaded in a drunken state.“That’s not gonna happen. You’re done and if I were you, I would pull myself together.”Matt sighed and sank into the couch at the VIP section of the bar where they sat. Andrea looked at him quietly for a while as he stared into space.He looked horrible and so dejected, Andrea had never seen him in such a state before. It was a first. “You know man, I still do not understand what the problem is with you. I mean why are you letting yourself get wasted? And why are we here at this bar and not at yours?” Andrea asked, worried for his friend.“I don’t want to talk about it.” Andrea si

Where are you off to?” “Home, to my apartment.” He replied, coldly.Nicole tried to speak but he was out the door before she could. She kept her gaze fixed on the door and sighed sadly.In a cab heading back home, Matt couldn’t decide whether or not it was a good idea for him to pursue Sophia after being rejected by her the day before. He thought of calling her but immediately dismissed the idea and instead called his best friend, Andrea.“Look man, my schedule’s tight today. I’ve got no plans of going out with you.” Andrea said immediately he received the call.“That’s not why I called. I just…... I need someone to talk to before I lose my mind.” Matt divulged.“Why? Is something wrong?” Andrea asked, concern laced in his voice.“I think she rejected me. I told her how I felt but…. she started acting strange and I haven’t heard from her s

Sophia was in the kitchen preparing dinner for the family when her mother showed up. “Sophia, your phone has been ringing nonstop, it seems urgent.”Sophia reduced the heat of the cooker and took the phone from her mother. “Please help me keep an eye on the pot. I’ll just make a quick phone call.” She said and left the kitchen.She dialed Daniella’s number and she picked up the call at first ring. “Hey Daniella, what’s up?”“I need your help, Sophia. I messed up real bad and I don’t know what to do or who to call. I think I’m losing my mind right now.” Daniella panicked over the phone, sounding like she was about to tear up.“Okay, okay, calm down and tell me what the problem is.” Sophia tried to persuade her.“I can’t tell you over the phone. You need to come see it for yourself. I’ll text you the address. Please hurry or I might just do something terrible to myself again.” She said and dropped the call.“Hel…hello, Daniella.” She heard the dial tone go off and looked at her cellphon

The hospital reeked of antiseptic, a little bitter, with undertones of the artificial fragrance. All these made Sophia feel nauseous as she sat waiting for her turn to go in to the doctors office. It's been hours since she arrived at the hospital but was yet to be attended to and the disturbing hospital smell wasn't helping either. She's never really felt nauseous around hospitals, so the feeling was new. "I hope I don't puke all over the place. What could possibly be taking the doctor so long" she said to herself as her mind drifted to the possible outcome of the test results she was there for.She had her assumptions on what the result could be but prayed her suspicion was wrong. She couldn't afford such scandal right now."Miss Dalton, Miss Dalton, the doctor is ready to see you now" a female nurse said, disrupting her thoughts as she called out to her from where she stood in the hallway leading to the doctors office.Sophia's gaze turned to the nurse. She wore blue scrubs and he
