Sofia's POV

“What did you say?” I swallowed the big chunk of fruit in my mouth and cleared my throat. I looked back at one of the maids standing behind me with her head bowed.

“Yes Miss Sofia. The man had just arrived and requested your presence.” She informed me and I nodded my head.

“Alright,” I said and dropped the fork I was holding. I wheeled out my chair and moved towards the entrance of the house. My mother and the maids followed behind me, not daring to help me.

I had warned all of t

    The Kidnap. I stood in front of the mirror checking out the necklace I was putting on.“I hope this isn't too much? It's just dinner and nothing more.” I groaned as I struggled with indecisiveness on what exactly to wear. I didn't want to seem too serious otherwise Mattoe might think I have been waiting for an opportunity to have dinner with him. At the same time, I don't want to appear too simple. I twisted my face as I finally arrived at a conclusion. I will just go ahead with this blue dress and diamond necklace.I finished dressing up and headed downstairs to the parking lot while I waited for Matteo to come down and pick me up. “What is going on? Is there some special occasion that I don't know of?” My mother was right there and I almost ran back to my room knowing fully well she's going to tease the hell out of me. “Mother I'm just having dinner with a colleague and nothing more.” I said to her not daring to disclose who the person is, otherwise that would be the talk of the

  • THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS   Isabella’s Discovery

    Isabella POV.I winced in excitement the very minute I stepped into the new office that was assigned to me on the executive floor. Not only do I have a space for myself, I also get to interact with the most important figures in the company. “Oh Isabella, you have done really well for yourself. I'm so freaking proud of you.” I said to myself with a smile and made way to my desk and sat in my chair. I trailed my fingers along the fine furniture admiring the beauty of my white office. My lips spread into a wide smile and I heaved a deep sigh in relief. Who would have thought it would be this easy to get to the top. Now that I'm here, I just need to find a way to remain here. “I'm never returning to the fucked up position I was before now.” I felt so happy as I looked around the office once again. My mind drifted to the shocked expression on Sofia Estaban when she saw me walk into the conference room and I will give up everything I own just to see that face again. I sighed in satis

  • THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS   Reconciliation

    Sofia's POVSilence filled the room with everyone bound to their thoughts as we all tried to navigate the situation.“One more thing Sofia. I overheard one of the security guards talking about Isabella. He said he saw her that night of the incident. The security guard claimed Mr Aldana had asked that she brought in some files.” He revealed and I sat on my chair shocked at how everything was revealing itself. I didn't know what to think anymore so I just crossed my arms over my chest with a deep sigh escaping my throat. “So it has been established, Isabella was the one who tried to set me up. It couldn't have been anyone else as she's the only one who I'm certain has access to my computer in such a way.” Mattoe explained and I nodded in agreement with him. “I know this is a whole lot for us to take in, but we have to pretend like this doesn't in any way affect us.” I began. “Let's all get back to our respective offices and do our job. Mattoe and I will deal with this and let you kn

  • THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS   The Return of Isabella.

    Sofia's POV.My legs trembled and I shot up from the chair and stormed out of the office to see for myself what Sylvia had just explained. I dashed into the conference hall and found the executives and my uncle Ignacio seated on the CEO's chair laughing and making jest.“And what exactly is going on here?” I asked and my uncle whose smiling face was like I have never seen before pulled up from my chair and faced me. “Isn't it my favourite neice on the entire planet. Have I told you just how beautiful you are?” He asked me and walked up to me with his hands spread wide.“What is going on?” My face twisted into a frown as my eyes caught sight of the same type of document spread across the table with a pen on it. I shut my eyes feeling frustrated with my fist clenched in anger. “I don't understand what you speak of my darling niece.” My uncle pretended to be oblivious and I scoffed. How could I have been so stupid not to see the signs right in front of me. I craved the love and affe

    Sofia's POVSilence dominated the atmosphere as we both stared at the man talking as though we didn't understand the language he just spoke. My eyes travelled to Mattoe who also looked at me. I woke up this morning feeling disappointed at my uncle and hoping the things I had discovered yesterday were not actually true. I had promised myself I wouldn't jump into conclusion based on a memory from years ago and hear from his side as well. And the clauses in the document regarding his investment into the company. I had hoped they were not true and I was simply mistaken just like everyone else. But with what I have just heard right now, I have no idea what to think anymore. “I'm sorry but what did you just say?” I shook my head hoping I had heard wrong. There's no way my uncle would have been the one to have orchestrated the sabotage on Mattoe. I had overheard Mattoe and the private investigator speaking the other time so I knew that was what they were talking about.“Yes ma'am, I ha

  • THE WIFE HE BETRAYED, THE WOMAN HE FEARS   Mattoe’s Confession to Himself.

    Mattoe's POVThe night breeze slapping against my skin made the depression hit even deeper as I stared into the sky with a bottle of whiskey dangling in my hands. I goofed and heaved a deep sigh as I looked back at my empty apartment in which I was sitting alone late at night, staring at a bottle of whiskey I haven't touched. “Oh Sofia!” I whispered as the passionate night I had shared with Sofia replayed in my mind constantly. Despite everything that has transpired between us, I have not been able to get that moment out of my head even for a second. It's the only thought that fills my head day and night. I walked away from the window and walked back to my study area where I keep all my documents. I pulled out the lower drawer than can only be opened by me and retrieved a picture of Sofia I have kept with me for a while now. It was a photograph she took at one of the events we attended together. I had reached out to one of the photographers requesting for a copy. “Oh Sofia!” I
