Rejection has never been so hurting especially if it's coming from one's own family. Switched at birth, Sophia only knew her true identity at 15 but that true identity has only brought her a complicated life. Pregnant out of wedlock, her fiance left her to get married to her sister. Lost her baby and got disowned. Sophia has only learnt the hard way of life that she now considered it, the normal way. But she chose her path, to be strong and live for herself and five years later, she returned to the city, saved a little boy and that encounter brought about something different from what Sophia has always known and believed...
view moreSophia was feeling uneasy. As the waiter helped her into a room, she felt hot and dizzy. The burning sensation was simply uncontrollable.
It's her party, organized for her by her fiance Kabir as she graduated from the university. And it's a dua purpose party. Kabir was going to get engaged to her. As the waiter got her into the room,he stepped out, leaving her with an uncontrollable desire for satisfaction. The need to get pleasured was heavy and she began to undress herself. At that moment, the door swung open and a drunken man strode in, his dizzy eyes caught sight of a pretty woman, undressing herself, she needed pleasure, he also needed satisfaction. Despite being drunk and acting wanton, he cannot overlook the beautiful figure before him. She completely got undressed, turned herself back and saw him. The burning sensation has engulfed her senses. She's saw the figure of someone but cannot depict exactly if it's a male. Her senses are engulfed by the burning sensation, her hands caressing her body in a bit to please herself He stares at her, his desires to hold the woman in his arms, pleasure her, relief her of her wants and make himself satisfied made him pull her closer, circling his arms around her waist and sending a soft kiss down her collarbone.. Few hours later, Sophia opened her eyes wearily. Tiredness and exhaustion flooded her body. Her body aches and she seems to be out of strength. She closed her eyes again, desiring to return to sleep. She found it difficult to raise a finger. A pounding headache greeted her as she carefully opened her eyes again, adjusting her pupils to the intensity of the light. She yawned and tried raising herself to a sitting position but felt her body was sore, tired and exhausted. She squinted when she suddenly realized, this isn't her room, in the Shawn estate. Where is she and how did she end up…she paused, a reality dawning on her. For the first time since she opened her eyes, she glanced at her body. “What!” She exclaimed and quickly raised the quilt. What happened to her? Why is she here, how did she end up there? She sighed softly, closed her eyes, trying to remember the last event that might have brought her into that room. She remembered vaguely that a waiter had helped her into a room last night. When she was feeling dizzy and a burning sensation. But besides that, she didn't remember anything else besides… Oh no! She was drugged. Diana had passed her a glass of wine when she descended the stage, immediately after dancing with Kabir. Did Diana drugged her? No, how could she think something so foul about her sister. Diana would never hurt her. Then who drugged her? She glanced at her body again painfully again. Someone had taken advantage of her, she'd been raped! The hickey, the blood stain and the pain of being torn surging from her lower part only proved that she had been taken. Vague memories crossed her minds, a tall man, a kiss on her collarbone and…oh no, she can't get them together. She tried to get out of bed by dragging herself to the edge when she saw a stack of dollar notes by her bedside. Oh no! The scumbag paid for taking her purity? He took her for a casual woman? In her dazed state, the door swung open and the first face she saw was Kabir Jamil’s. She froze, she pulled the quilt to cover her body quickly. His heart beat almost skipped. Oh no! How she wished the walls would just split and she would get buried in it. How can she explain this to him? Then her brother, mother and dear sister,Diana also walked in. They all were shocked, staring at Sophia speechless. Everyone already knows what happened. There's no need to say a word. Kabir's eyes had gone reddened for rage. Sophia got humiliated and embarrassed the most as Kabir's eyes trailed from her face to the bed and back to her face again. A disdainful stare was replaced with that of rage and she could see through his gaze that he had lost interest in her. Will any explanation remedy what has happened? Beny Shawn couldn't hold back as she walked carefully towards her daughter, a silent splitting slap descended on Sophia's chin, and another and another. “Mummy!” Sophia cried out. “How dare you do this to us, Sophia? How dare you betray Kabir's love this way? You made us all lose face before our guests and your supposed future family. We've only showed you love and acceptance into the family and this is the way you chose to pay us,huh Sophia? How could you do this Sophia?” Her mother bellowed. Her complexion has turned from fairness to redness for rage. This daughter of hers, has made her a laughing stock before her friends and everyone invited. “Today I am ashamed of myself. How can I point to you as my sister? How can I bear to see a fellow man betrayed and cuckold by my sister's actions, Sophia?” Lan Shawn seethed. He glared at her with a killing intent. How can Sophia condescend so low as to get involved with her lover on her engagement night? He glanced at the stack of dollar notes by her side, enough evidence for him to believe what Diana said. Who does that? Sophia looked back at Kabir, she needed to explain things to him that she didn't do anything intentionally. But she saw him, closed his eyes and turned around to leave. “Kabir, please wait. I can explain?” Sophia blurted out. Everyone glared at Sophia stunned. Explain?“Stop Sophia!” Stan pushed her away from him. His gaze was cold as he fixed them on Sophia. What does she think, that he'd forgotten about the whole incident of last night? He doesn't have a narrow memory at all. “Stan..” Sophia began but he interrupted her by raising his hand and stopping her. Sophia paused and sighed softly. They both stared at each other and helplessly, Sophia went to sit on the sofa. She's ready to get things straightened out between them. “Who permitted you to sit in my office?” Stan asked in a cold tone. Sophia was shocked, she raised her head and glanced at him, he was towering over her. His expression is unreadable and distant. Gently she stood up and said “If the incident of yesterday still hurts you, I'm sorry. I told Craig about you because I needed to tell him about Amil. I wanted him to know that Amil is his nephew. So I told him about our encounter. But I didn't realise that he doesn't have a mature mind. I was wrong to say
“Stop Sophia!” Stan pushed her away from him. His gaze was cold as he fixed them on Sophia. What does she think, that he'd forgotten about the whole incident of last night? He doesn't have a narrow memory at all. “Stan..” Sophia began but he interrupted her by raising his hand and stopping her. Sophia paused and sighed softly.

Sophia just stood there watching her. She heard what she said and didn't bulge. What is her business with that? Once in a while, someone has to have a taste of what they made others go through so they can know how it feels. She didn't expect that these old couples could love each other so much. She thought love and heartbreak were experiences of youthfulness and young men and women of the present age. She saw Craig coming over and held Benny. She expected him to be off to his grandma's burial but he also didn't leave, meddling in matters that didn't concern him. She eyed them both and chuckled aloud. “I don't concern myself with couples' lives and marriage. I am not married, thanks to your darling daughter Diana. So I don't know what to say about your marriage. But yes, aunt Mag told me the same thing to step in and salvage Dekunle and Benny's marriage. I have told her I am not interested in it. But she kept tucking me and I agreed to her request. I will go and
She squinted and kept her gaze on it. For the first time in many years, Benny calls her phone? Isn't this a mistake? How could she have made this terrible mistake of calling her instead of Diana. She didn't answer her phone. She wasn't calling her, she was actually calling Diana. Her phone rang two more times but she still didn't answer the phone. She has to be careful. If Benny isn't making a mistake, and she was calling her indeed, it means she might be sending assassins after her. She stood up, went to the bathroom, relieved herself and climbed into the bed again. The news of her award and the premier was all over the place. Then she remembered Stan,and decided to call him. It rang but he didn't answer it. She called for the second time, he didn't answer his phone and by the third time Sophia was going to call, he'd blocked her line. She tried sending a text, it's the same. Her eyes went cloudy instantly. He meant it, it appeared so the previous evening but
She started sobbing. She thought he had a matured mind and could hold the weight of words in them. He came to her that night and apologised for talking without thinking twice and she let go. And he did worse that evening. He embarrassed Stan and made him lose face. He'd apologised to her over and over again only for Craig to jab him with a dagger of words. And she saw his face, he was mad at her and just ended her relationship. A kind of guilt descended on Craig. He glanced at his sister and saw her hugging herself and sobbing out loud. She felt broken and sad. He bowed his head, completely ashamed of himself. “I didn't mean it so, sister. I just wasn't interested in Stan helping us…” he began but Sophia interrupted him sharply. She carefully stood up and glared at Craig “I took you in because I thought you were my brother. I promised to be responsible for you throughout your studies, because I thought you were my family. How could I have forgotten that yo
Sophia was surprised at Craig's outburst. How can he say he shouldn't be involved in helping them out? Who doesn't need the help of others in this life? She turned and saw Craig glaring at Stan. And so far that she had known Stan, he is a man with two sides. Whichever one you provoke in him, you'll find it, he'll give you a full measure of it. And now, that he'd only seen the friendly side of Stan, he'd better not ruin it. “May I know why you want me to step aside?” Stan asked, still maintaining that composed expression. He was dressed in his expensive suit and shoes. He should have been home, but he was still in them because of Sophia. “I don't want you anywhere around my family. Seeing you annoys me. So I humbly ask that you stay away from us please” Craig snapped at him and turned to his sister “I don't want Stan Asher interfering please” “What is come over you, Craig? If you have issues with him, then speak up otherwise, you can't tell me that. If he want
