At this point, I knew I needed some undercover agents who didn’t belong to my firm.As far as I know, Marcus knows almost all my undercover agents, except the one I’m on the phone with. I needed more hands on deck, and I need the ones Marcus doesn’t know.“Sophia, are you there?” “Hello! Babe?” Realising that I didn’t hear anything from the other side of the phone, I hung up the phone.The journey back home was a long one, and I couldn’t just wait to reach my destination. Just as the pilot announced that we were landing, I couldn’t contain my joy. Bidding my personal assistant goodbye, I made my way towards the car and headed back home. Upon getting back, it was dark already, and I’m sure Sophia would have slept. But I was wrong.She was only lurking in the dark, but immediately I opened the living room door, her voice caught me off guard. “Hi babe,”“Who are you, Alexander Reid?” She asked, breaking into tears.Casting my bag to the couch, I approached her slowly, but she woul
Upon getting into the company this morning, I couldn’t help but avoid direct eye contact with my staff.“Good morning, boss.”“Thank you. Good morning to you all. I hope you had a great holiday and more time for yourselves.” I said with a broad smile. Just after I did that, I made my way towards my office, smiling to myself.The honeymoon had been great and definitely not without lots of romance and sex in it.I thought my marriage was going to be something hellish. But guess who made it fun? Alexander.Maybe he wasn’t a bad person like I’d presumed. And maybe fate had only brought him my way to compensate me for meeting a terrible person like Ethan.Upon entering the office, memories of how Alexander had fucked me so hard on the table kept coming back.I clicked my teeth and shook my head slowly before finally settling into my chair.“I love you, Alexander Reid,” I muttered under my breath. Fumbling with my breast and thinking about the naughty things he had promised to do to me wh
The only thing on my mind was how to make Sophia happy. A woman like her deserved someone better. Not just anyone. And the fact that she has chosen me, and her father has entrusted her into my hands. I need to prove that I was worthy of her.“Marcus,” I snapped while he quickly bowed his head.“What were you thinking about?” “Nothing,” he smiled, before handing out the files to me.It’s another Monday morning. A week has passed, and our honeymoon has been a wonderful one. I’ve never had so much fun as I did. Upon getting to the office, I started to dish out everything to Marcus. But in the end, I noticed that his attention had been divided. He wasn’t concentrating, nor was he even listening to whatever I was saying. I could see some fatigue on his face. And not just that, his face looked pale and saggy.“Do you need a break, Marcus? I could give you–”“No,” he replied abruptly. I stared at him for a while, but realised he wouldn’t even look at me for a second. It was very unlike
Maybe my father was right after all. I might as well give Alexander a benefit of doubt.After all, he has proved himself to me, not once but twice. He has shown me that he is a good man. But what if he changes just like Ethan at the end of the day. What will happen to my shattered heart?“I need your body, soul, and heart to be mine, Soph. Why are you resisting me?” Alexander crawled towards Sophia, while she moved back slowly on the table.“Alex…”“I love it when you call my name, just like that…I’m hooked,” He whispered, pulling me gently by the leg, before shifting my panties.“All you want is a child, right? And the deal is over?” I gasped as I felt his hand stop midway. “Seriously? Do you think this is all about the contract form?”“Isn’t that what the deal is all about?” I replied frankly, closing my thighs and sliding my pants back to their right position.“I want to go home,” I answered, before dashing up the stairs. “Sophia Lancaster, am I that despicable to you?” Alexande
Coming to Sophia’s company wasn’t what I had planned. But it seems her father really wanted his daughter to be happy. I haven’t married Sophia just because I need to be the next successor of my granny’s properties. But because there’s a space in my heart for Sophia.Marcus was right. I’m in love with Sophia. And I’ll do everything to prove it to her.“So, are you going to come?” Mr. Lancaster had asked over the phone.Marcus stared at me for a while, my eyes darting from his to the door. “Let’s go,”And now that we are here with Ethan Carter, who has suddenly shown up as a regards of me breaking his Deal with the V&K Enterprise. I couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.“I thought you were a man.” I started, stepping in front of Sophia and her father. “But here you are whining like a baby,” I scoffed, staring at Ethan’s pained face.His mother looked bitter and angry. A face that depicts pain and sadness. I watched her clenched fist as her eyes darted from me to Sophia, and bac
All through the night, I had thought about him. And this, I couldn’t help but drool over him.I knew I was in love with Alexander, but showing him that part of me wasn’t something I would want to do now.Upon getting to work, I saw Liam waiting for me at the office. “Not again,” I rolled my eyes in frustration.Dashing into the office, I made the employees know that they should attend to Ethan from now on. I’ve had enough headaches when it comes to men.I heaved a sigh, taking one of the documents that had been submitted on my table by the receptionist and scanning through it.“Wow!” was all I could say upon seeing how rich my father was. It dawned on me as to why my father has many connections and can even buy a professional doctor to lie me.“Interesting.”No sooner had I opened my personal computer than a call sprang me out of my deep thoughts.“Yes,” I answered slowly at first. “I think you need to see this.” Alexander said before adding. “You might want to come downstairs,”I q
Just after I left my grandmother’s house, I put a call through to Marcus.“Any leads about Elizabeth’s lies?” “I think I might have one,” Marcus replied.Marcus has made it possible for me to escape the trap Elizabeth had set for me. And now, standing in front of Sophia, I feel free and happy. Knowing fully well who the enemy was and that the man who had given off to Sophia that night was Ethan.He had successfully pretended to be my employee after everyone had gotten drunk, and with his help, Sophia had perfectly framed me.I put the flowers I was holding forward to Sophia, while I watched her slowly reach out for them.Withdrawing them a bit, I stared at Sophia, waiting for her to say something.I stared at her hands, which did not attempt to even accept the flowers I was proposing to hand over to her.“Why did you go through such stress to prove to me that you are not guilty of what you were accused of?”“Because–”“I hope you are not being delusional? This was fake to start wit
I didn’t waste much time as I dashed down the stairs and grabbed some clothes from one of the wardrobes that belonged to the maids.Thankfully, most of the maids were not back from the short break, so the humiliation wasn’t too much for me to handle.I made my way out of Alexander’s compound, flagging down a taxi and making my way back to my father’s house.I had left all my belongings at home after my wedding, including my cars, making it difficult for me to stop by some places and change my outfit.I knew I couldn’t do that, now that my face was all over the internet.“Are you Miss Lancaster, the heiress to the Lancaster’s company?” the driver finally interrupted my thoughts.Like I knew he was going to raise this question since he had been staring at me through his rearview mirror ever since I boarded his car.“I only looked like her. Many people say,” I lied.He smiled before pulling over at a nearby place, not too far from where my father resides. “Keep the change,” I said, befo
Upon entering the restroom, it dawned on me that I had left my phone in the room with Sophia.“Fuck!” I slammed my fist against the wall, praying to God that she wouldn’t see anything suspicious.But I was wrong. Some prayers don’t get answered even when made. Seems God betrayed me on this one as Sophia’s hands met my face in the heat of the moment, coupled with some insulting words.My cheeks burned red hot, causing me to stagger a bit backward.“Do you think I wouldn’t even find out?” She lashed, her voice filled with unforetold hatred.“I’m sorry, but it’s not what you are thinking. Sophia, can you just calm down?” I pleaded, trying to reach out to her.I know what Elizabeth is capable of. And I know she planned to destroy this marriage.Yes, it is not real. But why do I feel so drawn to her? Could it be love or something else?“I’m listening,” She crossed her hand against her chest.Waiting for me to defend myself, but words failed me at this point.It was written all over her t
