Sophia wedged herself on the wall as the slap she had given William's hand led him to leave her arm. She tried to stand tall as she spoke. "Are you a lunatic or something?" She paused, tears were almost rolling off her eyes and at that moment, she could not been seen as weak. William would manipulate it to his advantage. She lifted her face to the ceiling and tried to fan air into her eyes with her hand. She gradually colled them off as she brought her face down and gave William a death stare."The woman you claimed as your bride is badly hurt and suffering. She can barely walk. You see quite well that she is limping and you decided the best way to help her is to pull her by the hand?!! Are you insane!??" Sophia asked as she screamed at the top of her voice. If it was a neighbor with many people around, William was sure it would attract a lot of attention. He wanted to react but instead, he calmed down. He crossed his arms as he waited for her to finish speaking. "There are a lot of
The person who had grabbed her was none other than Andrew. She hadn't seen him but being sexually intimate with him had made her unconsciously know his body scent. She smiled, "what are you doing here?" She asked him. Andrew didn't answer until they had gotten away from William's car. He soon released her from his grip as he gently turned her to face him."I heard you screaming in pain and thought to come check on you. What happened.?" He asked as he kept his hands on his side, directly looking into Sophia's eyes. He looked concerned. Sophia smiled as she started to explain. She tried to tell him that she slipped and fell off in the restroom and that was all. "It hurts but I think I'll be over in a week's time" she concluded her talking to Andrew with those words. Andrew nodded as he looked down at her feet. "Which one is it again?" He asked as he leaned his neck from side to side to check for the differences in her leg. Before Sophia could answer which leg it was, he bent over and ge
They got to the party as William drove into their parking space. It was being held in a grand luxury hotel. The lights that illuminated from the hotel's area made it look so elegant and grand. Sophia had never been to parties like this before. They were all for rich people she knew and she, was not rich–up until she married William. But even so, she hadn't exactly had a dime to her name."Get out. I have to find a suitable parking space" William said as he parked the car and unlocked her door. Sophia nodded as she turned to open her door. William called back, "Sophia. This is an event and a lot of people will be here. Do not dare me by trying to befriend any of them, is that clear?" William pulled his ear as he spoke. It was almost as though he was talking to a small child but Sophia didn't mind. She was busy looking around to be offended. "You're my wife. Don't embarrass me!" He said as she got off the car slowly and closed the door behind her. She stood there admiring the decor of
William who had been holding a smiley face suddenly dropped his cheek bones. He was now frowning as he turned to his wife and raised a brow. Sophia looked like she was bickering on and on about something that he did not care about. Was it because he smiled at her?He needed to correct that.He called out her name loudly, "Sophia!!!" She turned to answer him. Well, it looked like it wasn't only her who had heard her name but also the whole auditorium as everyone also turned to look at what caused the noise and who was calling who.He turned too as he glared back at everyone. Once the people noticed it was him who had shouted, they immediately took their eyes off his direction. Sophia noticed it too, it looked like no one would dare him. She noticed him smiling as he saw people move their heads back to where they had previously been kept.William turned to his wife as he smiled. Sophia was becoming angry as he could see her forehead wrinkling. He watched as she she put her hands on the
"This portrait was given to us by one of our very own here at Sheraton group of companies. He donated this piece of art and it will be hung over the ceiling at the entrance" The man holding the mic said to her. He seemed to be overly excited as he pointed to the painting. Everyone cheered and clapped as they saw the painting. It looked beautiful and magnificent. Sophia couldn't believe her eyes as her jaw dropped."William, what did you do?" She turned to ask him. William who had lit a cigarette at that moment puffed his cigarette as he moved his eyes to her face. He licked his lips and grabbed a glass of wine."What do you think I did? What does it look like it is?" He asked sarcastically. Sophia couldn't help the tears that were building in her eyes. She could not believe her eyes. William had taken one of her nude portraits and donated it to the hotel. A five star hotel that would surely have an audience. Why? Was he that cruel?Tears rolled off her eyes as she bent her head down.
Sophia kept hearing the cheers and gasps of people all around her. Tears were still flowing from her eyes but she couldn't take it anymore. She had to know what was going on and so she decided to raise her head up.Slowly and carefully, Sophia raised her head up. She had expected to see her naked body out in the open but instead, she saw a lovely painting of her face in an abstract painting. She turned to William with a sudden face of confusion. William smiled as he joined the crowd to clap and cheer for her. She looked a little confused.A few minutes later, after everything had died down, Sophia drew closer to William as she leaned in to whisper into his ears."What was that for?" She asked with confusion on her face. William rolled his eyes as he gave her his raised eyebrow."What were you expecting?" He also leaned in to whisper into her ears. " Don't tell me you were thinking I would show the world world your body!!...you're mine. Mine and mine alone. Why would I share you with t
William drove really fast as he looked at his side mirror. He had to get there fast, hopefully he would meet Mr Chan before he got on the plane. He had already informed his boys to be on their way as well."Where are we going anyway?" Sophia asked him in a low voice. She looked exhausted and ready to go home but not yet, he needs to meet with Mr Chan first. He was doing this for her anyway, William managed to convince himself as he stepped on the pedal, the car's speed increasing.Sophia yawned. She covered her mouth as she yawned to avoid being scolded by William. While he drove, she tried to adjust her car seat and lie on it. She was now feeling nauseous at that point and William seemed not to pay her attention as he drove so she had to sort that problem by herself.From the corner of her eye, she could see the relief in his face when he muttered, "We are here. Get ready to come out when I call your name" he said as he found somewhere to park. William parked the car and then got out
Come over here, honey. I want you to look at his face again. Are you sure you remember this man here? Are you sure?" William asked sweetly. Anyone near him who had heard how nicely he had called to his wife would think he was an angel. He smiled as he helped her up on her feet and told her to sit on his leg. William smiled.In helping her get up to come over to his side, he noticed the slip on that she had. Again, it annoyed him. He was angry but he had to seem cool and unconcerned. He would treat that a little later. Now, Mr Chan was the primary focus."Do you see his face?" He asked her nicely as he rubbed slowly ok her back. Sophia nodded. He could feel her shaking and he liked it. Sophia was afraid and that was all he desired. For people to fear him."You see, darling. This man knew quite well that I was married to you. I even introduced you as my wife but he was still flirting with you." William said in a calm soothing voice. Sophia's eyes widened as she finally got why her husba
