"Babies are amazing. They begin each day all warm and sleepy and smelling of promises."

“Push, just a little bit more, push!” Sofia had spent almost eight hours in the delivery room trying to deliver the baby and the baby was about to come up.
After a hard push, she could feel the baby leaving her body and she could hear cries of the baby echoing throughout the room.
Sofia felt like crying. She couldn’t believe she was finally a mother. It was a role she was always looking forward to become.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy.” She told her. The doctor cleaned the baby up and handed him for Sofia to hold.
The moment she held the boy in her arms, Sofia felt this deep connection with the baby and all the pain she felt in the past eight hours just disappeared.
It was replaced by a strong sense of happiness and maternal instincts.
“Hello, hands
"Long range planning does not deal with the future decisions, but with the future of present decisions."-Peter F. Drucker-*** “Come on, we have not done it for three months since you need to recuperate, but I can’t hold it back anymore, Sofia. I need you.” Dion said as he started kissing her neck.“Dion, Astro is sleeping, he needs to be breastfed soon, what if we are too noisy and it wakes him up?” She asked.“You’re kidding. He’s literally in another room. Come on, Sofia. I want you so much. Besides, we have hired private nannies for him. If he’s hungry, they can just bottle fed him.” He reasoned before he started kissing her on the lips.Sofia felt a little odd since they had not done it for so long, but she eventually gave in and the two of them ended up doing it.However, just as they finished the first round and about to move on to the second round, there was a knock on the door.“Sir, sorry to disturb you but you have a guest.” It was one of the maid. She wondered. Dion and
"Trust is earned, respect is given and loyalty is demonstrated. Betrayal of any one of those is to lose all three."-Ziad Abdelnour-***Sofia was laying down in a deckchair of the pool. The warm sun touched her rosy cheek and she had to put on her shade since it was getting brighter as the minutes passed by.“Here you go, a glass of cherry cocktail for you.” Her husband, Christian walked over to her and placed the drink on the table beside them. Sofia smiled and removed her sunglasses before turning to him.“Thank you so much, my love. You’re very attentive.” She complimented him as she took a sip of the drink. Christian smiled back at her and responded with a sweet voice.“Anything for you, my love.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it.“This evening, we’re going to the yacht ride. I can’t wait to have some alone time with you in the middle of the ocean, it’s going to be an amazing experience.” He kissed her and she chuckled.“Yes, I can’t wait for it as well. It’s going to b
"Objective reality, otherwise known as truth, matters."-Justin Raimondo-***As she fell to the ocean, Sofia could see Christian’s cold expression and at that moment, she realized everything she had known all along was nothing but a mere lie.It was the biggest form of betrayal she had ever experienced from anyone.Sofia was a sweet and vibrant woman who always tried to see the best in people, she had overlooked all of the signs within him. Tears fell down from her eyes right before she splashed into the ocean.“Am I going to die like this?” She asked herself. The pain on her shoulder was becoming overbearing. She was doing her best to reach the surface, but it was very difficult.Eventually, she lost all of her strength and slowly closed her eyes, feeling the darkness overwhelmed her.They said when someone was about to die from drowning, they would feel like their body’s pierced by a thousand ice cold needles.In the beginning, Sofia felt the same way as well. Until she suddenly fe
"When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to be your friend."-William Blake-***“Baby, are you okay?” Christian snapped out of his own thoughts and turned around to see Layla’s concerned face.The woman wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his shoulder with a look of concern on her face.“Yes, I’m fine, baby. I just, I just couldn’t believe this is really happening.” He was still in a state of shock and disbelief himself after his action.He actually shot his wife and threw her to the ocean. For an entire day after he did that, he was panicking.When he got off the yacht, no one noticed her missing because he was very smooth about the way he handled it and no one heard the gunshot as well.No notice was made to the local authority as well until he had left Santorini.He received the news that they were searching for her everywhere, but after three days, she was nowhere to be found.It was a miracle for him to be able to fly back to Londo
"There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."-Catherine Zeta Jones-***After almost an hour flight from Santorini to Athens, Sofia got off the airplane, walked out of the airport and went straight to find a taxi. She gave the driver an address and asked to be driven there. Her heart was beating really loudly.She couldn’t believe she was doing it for real. One might argue it would be easier for her to contact her parents and had them involved in her plan, but she knew those two. They were good lawful folks.Surely they wouldn’t agree with her plan and chose to bring Christian to jail instead. It would be too easy for him, she needed to do this so she could be satisfied at the end of the day.Almost half an hour later, she arrived in front of an old style mansion which she once visited when she was a child. She paid the driver and got out, walking toward the gate and started pressing the bell.She could hear a man’s voice in Greek but she didn’t underst
"It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign."-Warren Buffet-***Dion was reading a book when he heard a knock. It was the maid who informed him that it was time for him to have dinner. He nodded and dismissed her.Since Sofia’s arrival in the place, he found it difficult to concentrate on anything because he kept on thinking about his decision earlier.It was time for him to meet her again and he needed to be firm about it.When he entered the dining room, he saw her with the lilac dress he assigned to her and she looked so much better after getting all cleaned and dressed up.It made her look less like a sad golden retriever and more like the charming angelic beauty that she was.“You look so much better.” He said as he took a seat right across her.“Thank you, now I feel somewhat like a human again.” She replied with a small s
"You have the power to change your beliefs about yourself. Your identity is not set in stone. You have a choice in every moment."-James Clear-***“You need to change your name temporarily. If you use the name Sofia, it will be easier for people to find out about who you are and it will get in the way of your revenge plan.” He advised Sofia.The thought has also crossed her mind before. She knew she needed to change her identity completely for this plan to succeed, she just didn’t know how she could do that without getting caught.“I know some people who can create new documents for you. New ID, licenses, passport, everything. All you need to do is to give me a new name and a new identity that you want to create and I can help you to fabricate your entire background and identity.” He told her.Sofia raised her brow. Just what kind of man was Dion, exactly?Why did he have these
"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage."-Martin Luther-***The sound of church bell rang in the air as Sofia was walking toward the altar, holding a bouquet of Calla lilies in her hand.It felt strange walking on a wedding carpet again so soon after her first one but this time, she didn’t feel nervous at all.She looked straight toward Dion who was already waiting for her on the other side and he reached out his hand to help her get up the stairs.Once she was on the altar, he gently removed her veil, revealing her face. She was not smiling or frowned. The only expression on her face was that of a stoic woman.He had a similar look on his face that anyone who saw them at the moment would have guessed that these two were not having a wedding out of love.Fortunately for them, the only people who attended their private wedding were
