Se connecterCHAPTER 13Sophia’s jaw hangs open, stares at Chris in disbelief. “W—What the hell are you talking about?” She said, using laughter to mask her disbelief.“You wouldn't want us to get married. I mean, I know your parents want us too but you have a girlfriend already. I don't think we should rush into such a decision.”She waited to hear his response, but there was nothing but silence that filled the atmosphere. He remained unmoved, his expression stern and unfazed. She realized quickly by the look on his face that he meant everything he had just said.“What….what about your girlfriend?” She asked. “She'd kill me if she discovered this. I don't think we should—”“Dont worry about my girlfriend,” he cuts In abruptly. “All you should be concerned about is the wedding preparations. My parents wanted it in a grand style but I managed to convince them to throw a modest one. The wedding is in three days. You'd be moving to my apartment tomorrow. I'd have some people help you move in, So don'
CHAPTER 12My legs felt wobbly and it suddenly became hard to breathe at that moment. I could hear Kira and she was also panicking, but I couldn't process her words. But I could hear her murmuring words like “You don't have to worry, I'm here for you” and “there's got to be a way to fix this.”She meant well, and I was grateful for her support but it didn't get rid of the fact that this had blown up for the media to see. My identity revealed. I would never be able to show my face at work ever again.Before I knew it, I began losing my balance and almost fell to the ground, but Kira caught me quickly and helped me back up, wrapping her hands firmly around my shoulders.My eyes stung. My vision blurred. Tears threatened to roll down my cheeks at any second, and there was this loud ringing that wouldn't stop in my head.Like things couldn't get hard enough, my phone started blowing up. I didn't want to check it, but another part of me; the curious part wanted to know what it was.I opene
CHAPTER 11Sophia felt her heart slamming in her ribs, as she fiddled her fingers. The silence stretched through the room and for a few minutes, none of them said a word to each other. She didn't fail to notice the frustration clearly written on his face. The way his jaw clenched, and despite the fact that he tried to hide it, she read him like an open book.She took a deep breath, mustering up the courage to speak to him. “A—are you okay?” She asked, her voice low and timid.Chris turned his head to face her, anger and dispute clearly shown in his expression. “Are you seriously asking me that question? After what you've just done, huh?”Her vision became blurry, but she stared at the marbled floor instead, refusing to meet his gaze. “I…I had no idea she was going to come in. It's not my fault,” she defended.Chris let out a humourless laughter, the kind that held so much bitterness. “You definitely planned this. You think this would ruin my relationship so you can have me all to you
CHAPTER 10Chris stared at Mia, a horrified expression glued to his face. He wanted to move, to explain things to her, but his body felt limb and they couldn't do anything.She took slow strides towards them, her heels clicking the ground, each sound sending thrills down their spine. Her face remained emotionless, a blank expression that was hard to read. Sophia fears the most for her life. She tilted her head and looked at Chris, hoping he'd shed some light but he remained quiet adding to her nerves. She took a deep breath, and decided to take matters into her own hands.“M–Miss Mia?” She called slowly, once she found her voice. Mia spared a glance at her, which made Sophia breath hitched. She suddenly became spineless and the new found confidence she had found vanished into thin air.For a moment, they did nothing but stare at each other. Until—Mia bursts into laughter. It echoed through the office which had suddenly started to feel tighter as the tension only became more apparen
CHAPTER 9Sophia was happy that no one in the company knew about her little night stand with the CEO. She didn't even want to show up to work, but Kira convinced me too. She kept talking about how she shouldn't be bothered by it and everyone has sex. It was just some liberal feminism stuff, she couldn't quite place.But, she was right. Besides, she didn't want to lose her job. She worked so hard to get it and she's not going to let it go because of this. She convinced herself that Chris and her can just be professional and outside of work, we can discuss things.She made her way to her cubicle, and no less than five minutes after sorting down—her intercom started buzzing. “White enterprise. To whom am I speaking too?”“Get my boyfriend on the fucking line or we're going to have problem. Right now.”Thrills ran down my spine. I recognized that voice anywhere and judging by the snarl laced with her tone, I could tell that it was Mia. Chris’ girlfriend. She's one hell of a pain in the a
CHAPTER 8Sophia couldn't forget the look on Chris’ face after his parents mentioned that they'd have to get married. She didn't want to get married to him, but if that's what it took to have him present in their baby's life then she was willing to comply. Kiran messaged her arms gently. “You don't have to think about what that keek said. The important thing is that you two are going to get married,” she squealed. Sophia couldn't believe that her friend was ecstatic while she was reeling the thought in her head. She knew it was only a matter of time before rumors started flying and she knew that she's ne the gossip of the office soonKiran noticed her gloomy face and palmed her chin. “Are you okay? Is something bothering you?” She inquired.Sophia sighed in defeat. “What if he doesn't even want my baby? He's only getting married to me because his parents are forcing him anyway. I can't even think of showing up to work. Gosh! It's so embarrassing.”She calmed her face in her hands, b
