Ice Pick woke the next morning to see Sophia shadow boxing. She was training herself at the verandah.Hmm. He watched her with his hands folded behind his back and he said, "your moves are easily detected."Sophia jerked at the sudden hearing of his voice and turned to see him in his robe as usual."Good thing to see the handsome jerk as the first human in the morning. Scumbag!" She cussed under her breath and ignored him and continue throwing her punches in the air.Ice Pick smirked and put off his robe, leaving him with just his shorts and walked behind her, grabbed her elbow and positioned it well."You have to keep your legs apart." He instructed and she spread her legs positioning both her arms and legs ready to fight.He stood in front of her, bringing out his palms, "hit me," he said and she threw blows on his hard palms softly.Ice Pick scoffed as he immediately grabbed her hands"Seriously?" He arched his brows. "Is that how to throw blows, huh? Faster!" She threw blows faste
He kissed her forehead and was about to leave the room when his eyes caught something.He arched an eyebrow as he picked up the girly book from the floor and check through the current page opened, 'she misses them,' he thought.What could be the deal in missing someone and still write it down, huh?He never knows what it felt like so he just dropped the diary on the drawer and tiptoed out of the room to avoid waking Sophia up but he couldn't help it as she shifted in her sleep. Ice Pick put his lips together so as not to make a sound, and successfully walked away.But she noticed someone was in the bedroom.*A tired body, a lonely soul, a frustrated mind, a pained spirit - that was Sophia.It was Saturday and she felt terribly lazy and tired to do anything than to just lay on the bed. Still in the same position, she closed her eyes and reminisced on her just concluded dream.She was dressed in a red strapless gown, and had a perfect birthday party with her parents and siblings around
"I'll surely pay your money back, Ice Pick. Just extend the time a little bit. I'll surely pay you. I promise with my life" a rich man in his late forties knelt down with a pleading eye in the front of a cold looking but handsome guy of twenty five years old who is not ready to accept the old man pleas."Your life isn't worth my money, Johnson" the younger man bent down to the older man level."We had an agreement. You know that, right" he continued as he stood up."You shouldn't have promise on your life, you should have bet on your family. How about that?" he smirked looking down at the man."Please, Ice Pick. Let's leave my family out of this. I'll pay you your money, please" Mr Johnson pleaded."Let's see how that goes then. See me at your doorstep tomorrow morning" Ice Pick walked away as his boots sound filled the hallway."And I heard you have a beauti
Bloods rushed through Mrs Johnson spines as she couldn't believe her ears and her feet trembles."What do you mean,hon?""What do you mean Ice Pick is gonna be here tomorrow,huh?" her lips quivered as she talked with her lips trembling."How could you,huh?""How could you think of borrowing money..... Not just from anyone.....Why Ice Pick? Why??" She lamented almost at the verge of tears looking at her husband who was deep in thought."What should we do,hon? she patted her husband when she noticed he wasn't listening."What?" he looked at her with a red eyes."What should we do? Should we just pack out overnight to somewhere else far away"."It's of no use. Packing out doesn't mean we're safe, we're only causing ourselves more trouble. He has his eyes on us and you think packing out is safe,huh?" Mr Johnson shunned hi
~~ The Next Morning ~~Sophia woke up from her Dreamland when she heard a familiar voice screaming and yawned loudly."Wooh, who could be disturbing my sleep this early morning""I'm sure it's that little spoilt brat" she stated grumpily referring to Sophie as she lazily climbed down the bed."Dad, pls help me… Daaaaddd" she heard again. Sophie's voice sounds like she has been crying.'Is she crying?' she thought."And why is she crying?" She mumbled and hissed as she made her way to the living room and then she remembered last night events. Her father's talk about one ruthless guy."Ooh, I can't remember his name again" she hitted her forehead repeatedly like someone who is trying to remember something.'Or is he here' her eyes popped out at the thought of that as she took her steps slowly trying to peep to th
Sophie stood dumbly as she watched one of Ice Pick boys dragged Sophia in who was as well dragging herself with the boy who was stronger than her stubbornly and grumbled cussed words which was inaudible to Sophie because of the way she was talking - like she got two eggs in her mouth."Huh…" Sophie gasped from where she stood. "Sophia" she called lowly."Ice Pick or whatever you might be picking, I believe that since you got what you want, you should let the other go, huh" Sophia scoffed as she rolled her eyes and watched Ice Pick whose expression was blank.No one in the room was unable to read what might be going through his mind which made Sophie's heartbeat races the more as she believed Ice Pick is gonna get Sophia punished for talking to him rudely.Silence… Then silence…Ice Pick's eyes glinted a little as he moved his eyes to Sophia's who was staring
Sophia grumpily took the broom and curb the cobwebs. She climbed the higher heights using a wooden stool she saw in one of the corner room and curbed the ceilings as well and ensured every nooks and crannies of the room are cob webs-free. She swept the room and later went to fetch water and packed every materials in the room out and mopped the floor after mixing some detergents with water. She sat for a while for the floor to dry so she'll pack the materials and set a bedroom for herself as she sighed lowly as a result of fatigue. She could only do that as she had did something more than that before when she was kidnapped when she was fifteen years old by one of her father's opponent who was trying to bring her father down during the period and she was made to weed out grasses with her hands. She really suffered for two weeks and had obviously learnt how to do house chores on her own as she didn't need maids in her father's house to clean her room for her unlike her siblings.
~ The Next Morning ~Sophia stretched out lazily in the bed. The morning sun is out already and was all shining in the room. She lazily opened her eyes."Huh" she gasped when she noticed the room was all empty, the girls were gone. Alas. They were pains in the ass.Urine was really pressing her bladder.She climbed down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom when she noticed the girls' belongings were not in the room. That'll be later - she mumbled as she opened the door to the bathroom.She came out seconds later and opened the other wardrobe in the room but couldn't find the girls' properties. Not even a socks.Her stomach grumbled as she hissed out loudly. A day away from home.*A bell rang across the camp after she finished dressing up.What's that for - she thought.She was wearing a black boyfriend top and a black baggy joggers. She topped it all up with a black sneaker. Sh
