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...
Lihat lebih banyakSophia 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?“I see that you have been discussing things with Dave lately, huh” he murmured and then tickled her by the sides. Sophia jerked and tried holding his hands, laughing at the same time. “I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about a certain person” “I see, I wasn't tickling you, I am tickling a certain person” Stan retorted, laughing out loud. Seeing that sweet part of him was amusing. He intertwined his fingers with hers and brought her head to lay against his chest, caressing her upper arm gently. After some time,“my love” he called out like a whisper. He gently bent over and kissed her. They soon arrived at the parking lot and the chauffeur stepped out. Sophia was being cuddled and she didn't respond to his call. When they got in, Stan was kind of reserved, he wasn't saying anything. As Sophia stood before him, moving her hair aside and requesting him to pull down the zipper on her dress. He did but didn't let her go. “Sophia,” he called ag
She'd sent a message to Dave to join them at the garden park at booth number 5. On the tray before them were drinks served and tumblers. Sophia poured herself a drink and poured some for Miranda too. “How're you doing, Miranda?” Sophia asked, raising her tumbler for a toast. They clicked their glasses together before taking a sip from them. “I’m fine. Can't believe I am seated here before you Sophia Shawn” Miranda chimed. Everyone wants to be associated with celebrities and this is happening to her without even making any efforts. “You've got to believe your eyes, dear. And I hope henceforth, we'll see each other more often and spend time together more” Sophia responded. They talked, exchanged pleasantries and still Sophia didn't say anything about why she invited Miranda. On the other hand, Miranda was getting impatient. Being around this movie star is a dream come true but why did she invite her over? There must be a reason why she called her. It can't be drinking out togethe
Dave chuckled and shrugged “of course I am happy. What are you talking about?” He asked, not knowing where exactly her words were heading to. “Can you say that you were happy, that moment when your eyes locked with Miranda at the movie premiere?” Sophia asked, her gaze fixed on him. Dave went speechless. He didn't respond to Sophia and she continued “I'm sorry if I poke your healing wound. But you know it wouldn't hurt you if it's a mere scar like the way her name causes you a pain in the heart. It's because the heartbreak remains fresh and probably bleeding at this moment. I have been in love before, Dave, and I know what it means to be in love. You still love her. Why don't you get back together with her? Stop hurting yourself Dave. Everyone is worried about you. Mom, dad, Stan and even me. We all love you…” Sophia persuaded him. Dave's eyes have gone reddened. His facial expression is sad. He sighed audibly and glanced at Sophia with reddened eyes “sh
There was a sudden stillness that descended on them both. Craig's excitement evaporated and he stared at Sophia. The smiles dissipated. Her bitterness atoned for? “....The family is shattered apart, thanks to you and your dad playing a pivotal role in seeing it happen. You have wished for it and it has happened. You can stay happy with him and whoever he chooses to be involved with. You're a mother too, right? Can you ever hate your son? How can you think that I hate you? I have treated you unfairly in the past, but that's over. I apologised to you at your grandfather's burial but you couldn't find a place in your heart to forgive this woman who coincidentally happens to be your mother. I wanted us to talk about it the entire night but karma and fate ensured we missed each other. Those files that Craig gave you are the documents to my personal properties. There's a key strapped into one of those files, take it, the information is all embedded in the file. I
Sophia's eyes went cloudy. What had she done now? How can Craig accused her of being a different person? She'd always being the same person all these years. She took the bashing and the betrayal and didn't fight back. What is wrong if she revolts at this point? Does he expect her to remain sheepish forever? Gradually she'd forgiven everyone who hurts her,Stan,her dad, Kabir except that he crossed the lines and Stan taught him a lesson. “Craig don't talk nonsense. I woke up late. The accident on one hand and the late night sleep on the other hand. I couldn't cheat nature and I slept longer than I would have really done. Why are you sermonising me and making me feel like I had done something wrong?” Sophia scolded. “You still didn't see anything wrong with what you did, I know. But anyways, I'm leaving and you're mom left a message for you when you couldn't make it early. I kept them by your bedside drawer. I'm leaving” Craig declared. “You wait for me, I'll be
Sophia was quiet, her alertness awakened. She heard her voice, that was Benny Shawn, her mother. What is she doing there? That must be her apartment not Craig's condo. What the heck is going on, shouldn't she go after Diana and her husband, why is she there? “Craig, isn't that Benny Shawn's voice?” Sophia asked and she got her response almost immediately “yes, it's my voice. You should address me as my mother Sophia.” Benny paused and waited for Sophia to say something but she didn't. Hence she continued “I have waited at your door for hours until Craig arrived…” she stuttered. “At my door? What do you want from me?” Sophia asked, feigning ignorance. Being together with one's partner is not a matter of life and death. If her dad, doesn't want to remain married to her, she can leave. Why pestering everyone about the whole shit. “On the contrary, I don't want anything from you. I just needed to see you for the last time dear” Benny responded. It's not about getting a
