Zack's POV "Don't tell me that you're going to pass out on an offer as big as this?" Victor asked again, his voice laced with a tint shade of rejection."You know how little your supposed offer is Victor, just leave peacefully so I don't have to turn this into something else," I warned."What are you going to do Holmes and just so you know, half of this bar is filled with my men, and any wrong move will get you killed," he said, holding his gun out.I scoffed at his lame attempt to scare me, causing him to scrunch his face in surprise."You must think this is a joke, Holmes," he said again, signaling to one of his men.The latter came closer, holding a document in his hands.I watched Victor take the paper from him, placing them on the table with his gun pressed by my sides."Sign the papers or you lose your life, Holmes, I'm pretty sure you make no difference to your father, that's why he gave the full control of his company to your brother instead of you," he said, making me smile.
Sofia's POV "Mrs Holmes," Rae called, pulling my attention. "Mr Holmes demands to see you,""Why? Tell him I am not seeing him," I replied gruffly, tearing off my cardigan away from my body, and leaving the armless gown I was wearing."He says it's urgent and you cannot decline it," She said again, making me look at her."I'll go then," I said picking back the cardigan to wear when the door was clicked open.I hurriedly drew the cardigan over my chest, as the footsteps got louder, and without even looking, I already knew who it was."What? Are you trying to cover yourself from me?" He asked, his face filled with a mocking smile.I said nothing to infuriate him because I couldn't bear the next thing he might want to do...rip the clothes off my body."I was just coming to see you, what do you want?" I asked, pulling the cardigan over my body again."I'm having a visitor over and when she comes, I need you tonight to be in her way, whatever she wants, you give it to her," He said and I
The soft sound of an engine came next, the vibrations of movement rocking my body gently. Rae’s voice was near me, though it sounded far away. “You’re going to be okay Miss Sofia,” she whispered, as if to reassure herself as much as me, before sliding Into unconsciousness.**********"Doctor!" I heard a voice yell, and the sudden juggling of my body.The next thing I registered was the blinding brightness of fluorescent lights above me and the sterile smell of antiseptic. Voices became sharper, words I couldn’t make out blending with the steady beep of machines. I wanted to move, to speak, but my body felt like it didn’t belong to me anymore. I drifted again, the weight of exhaustion pulling me deeper, even as the voices around me grew more urgent."We need to take her into the OR," the frantic muffled voice surrounded me until I fell back unconscious.***A dull ache spread across my chest as consciousness crept back in, slow and hesitant. My eyelids felt heavy like they were weigh
Sofia's POV The room fell into a surpressed silence at Zack's words, and the last beside Alex was already red with fury, tugging at his hands. "You think because you've gotten ten percent of my share, you can talk to me however you want?" Alex said, his voice with raising in burning anger. "I don't think Alex, I know, and as Sofia has said to you, put a leash over your dog, if she by any means barks towards me, Sofia, or where father is, maybe a 50 percent deduction will make you come back to your senses," Zack retorted. The air in the room was thick with the tension of their argument, Alex's presence still lingering like a bad taste. His arrogance and that of the bitch beside him grated on my nerves, even more as they intertwined their hands. As Alex turned to leave, he suddenly paused, his gaze snapping back to Zack with a mocking smirk. “You know, Zack,” he started, his tone laced with false curiosity, “I’ve been meaning to ask—why do you care so much about her? I mean, it’s
The room remained heavy with the weight of the doctor’s explanation. Zack stood stiffly to the side, his jaw clenched as if the doctor’s words had struck a nerve. Rae shifted uncomfortably, her gaze darting between the doctor and me.A panic attack. It felt like such a small word for something that had made me completely unable to move and left me vulnerable and exposed. Nausea, the racing heart, the paralyzing emotions that turned my limba into useless, dead, and frozen things. My chest still ached, and thoughts of Alex’s cruel words replayed continuously in my mind.“You’ll need to take it easy, Mrs. Holmes,” the doctor continued, his tone calm but firm. “Stress is a major trigger, and given what you’ve just experienced, I’d strongly recommend avoiding any further confrontations or emotionally beating situations for the time being. Your body needs time to recover, both physically and emotionally, and if at all, you find yourself in such situations, before the words get to you, pract
Sofia's POV"You stink, Rae. Get a bath and sleep; you look like you're about to collapse," I said, halting her mid-step as she stood over the pillows on my bed."Do I really stink that bad?" she asked, hesitating as her hands fluttered nervously over the sheets.I smiled awkwardly, trying to keep the tone light. "Your hair looks like it’s holding all the dirt in this hospital. You’ve been running around without a break for days. Please, go take care of yourself, Rae."Her lips parted in protest, but she glanced quickly at Zack, who was seated near the corner of the room, scrolling through his phone. The sight of him seemed to sap her will to argue. She fidgeted with the hem of her uniform, finally nodding meekly."Of course, Mrs. Holmes," she said, her voice low. Then, almost as an afterthought, she added, "But if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll be just a phone call away."Zack’s head tilted slightly, his dark eyes flicking up to her. The movement was subtle
Sofia's POV "Mmm, it's okay," I said, "I'll take care of myself," I said strongly."Are you sure... I mean..." I'm fine Zack, I need to brace myself for whatever is coming right?" I asked and he nodded, his eyes still on me."Then let me," I said, almost angrily."Right, I will," He said, taking his hands off mine."I'll take a nap again, and can you be gone before I wake up, it'd be better to not watch as you leave," I said.He stilled in the chair before nodding wordlessly, his eyes were filled with pity I didn't want.I laid back on the bed, pulling the sheets over my body, forcing myself to keep my eyes clenched tight as I fought the tears that were brimming in my eyes.A few minutes later, I heard him stand up from the chair, heaving a heavy resigned sigh, before dragging his feet out of the room.And the god-damned loads of tears I had came rushing down like a hurricane.The thoughts of being strangled, beaten, and disgraced by that devil were eating me out from the inside, but
Sofia's POV "Two days, two fuckin days Sofia, if you're not back home by then, I'll make sure I have your corpse sent to your father," He said and walked out of the room with his mistress.I let out a heavy breath I didn't know I was holding, my tears welling at how miserable my life was going to be from that moment on.This wasn’t over.This was only the beginning of my suffering."Are you okay doctor?" I asked and he gave me a small comforting smile."Yes, how about you?" He asked and I nodded wordlessly."I'll have a nurse bring you some ice and a towel, apply them on your face for as long as you want, it'll reduce in hours," The doctor’s soft voice was a contrast to the storm raging inside me. I could see the pity in his eyes, the same look Zack had given me earlier, and it made my stomach churn. I didn’t want pity. I didn’t need it, I needed salvation, from this fuckin hellish life.I nodded again, unable to say anything. My throat felt dry, and my lips trembled as I tried to h
Sophia's POVI woke up, feeling a little dizzy, my head hurting and the room feeling heavy. I could barely manage to open my eyes but I remember the distinct feature that I saw at the door, it was him.Zack my charming prince in shining armor, the one who rescued me, the one who made me out run death, the one always saving me from the hands of my dear husband, but who are you to me?..who are you for me to miss, for you to be so helpful and look so desirable, for you to make my senses rise and for you to make my mind go wild."What are you doing here?.."He moved slowly towards me, water dripping from his clothes. I wonder where he was in this cold weather. He sat on the bed next to me and I leaned my head on him. Hd was cold but he felt so welcoming in the instance, I felt secured, I felt understood and at a certain point I was happy that he was here. Although was he the one supposed to be here. I wonder what is trotting his mind right now, he saw my veins open, saw the blood, he saw
Zack's POV "Oh Zack it's coming! I'm about to cum again!" Helene screamed before jerking off for the third time that night. I had taken in shots after shots and was so high that I could barely control my pulses. Helene, so sexy, and always so attractive and tight, she was there once again to satisfy my dirty envies. All these things I had been holding in. My encounter with Alex really made me realise that i am and have always been the bad guy. I threw us both in a sea of misery then swam my way out, leaving him to drawn in anger and frustration. I'd hate me too if I was him but these are mistakes I can't do anything about anymore. The worst has happened.I held Helene by the neck and pulled her up the book shelf to the wall, then continued thrusting in her with all the adrenaline dripping down my body. Her moans resonated round the room while I poured myself in her wet pussy. I then took a glass of whisky on poured on her flat tummy, dripping slowly on the floor while she devoured
Zack's POV Alex just stood there staring at me in the silence a smile almost evident on his face. I was holding all of my range and anger towards him. "Oh brother, you seemed so well informed about the deeds of my wife, well are you going to hit your brother because some slut can't handle 2g of herbs?" Wait what? He gave her drugs?! That was it! I threw him 2 dirty flying punches before hitting his stomach and throwing him sideways. He bent and knelt on one knee trying to recover from the hits. How could he give drugs to my delicate flower? What in the heck in wrong with him? How does she feel now? She must be all over the place and hating on the world. What did she ever do to deserve this?My thoughts were interrupted by the sarcastic irritating laugh of Alex who seemed to recover, standing in front of me with a bleeding nose."Oh well shall you see this, I didn't think you'd be this intolerant? Afterall if she had to be part of my world she has to get used to my favourite candy r
Sophia's POV I woke up... I woke up to this world again? The lights of my hospital room flashed harshly into my eyes and I couldn't help but shed a few tears. I didn't want to stand up, I didn't want to move I didn't even want to feel. Why? How could any of this happen, I made sure I made no sound, no scream, no visit, how could they possibly help me before I died.The door of my room opened up and the doctor moved in with papers in her hand. I didn't want to stand nor lay, I didn't feel anything but I could feel the presence of Rae sitting next to me. Silence, it's all I wanted... For eternity."Mrs. Holmes? How are you feeling today?" The doctor asked but I didn't respond, I didn't want to, I couldn't believe that I was still alive, in this hell reality. "You really scared us this time Mrs. Holmes, you lost much blood and your body was running cold when you were brought here. Thankfully we succeeded to bring you back but from now on I'll need you to be extremely careful. Every in
Zack's POVI left the hospital with so much furror in me. That Leyla bitch! Who does she think she is? I can't rightfully do anything to her because she's a family friend and obviously more to Alex but I have to find a way to keep her off Sophia once and for all because her bastard of a husband apparently can't even manage to keep her alive. He's never known how to treat a woman right except for Leyla. I don't know what candy she gives him or what she wants from him, but she definitely needs to learn where her limits lie.I was driven off to the house where I moved up to the second floor and banged off Leyla's door. "Leyla!" I ordered with a menacing tone and all self control I could gather. I heard the sound of the shower cut off instantly and Leyla left the bathroom to the main room where I was standing, water dripping off her completely naked body. She smiled and looked at me, almost pleased."Zack?" She looked at me moving confidently towards me, swaying her hips like a snake and
Leyla’s POVThat slut! Who does she think she is! She attacked like the animal she is! There is no way I’ll let her get away with this. After the punishment of Alex from his father, I’m sure he has found a way to knock her off consciousness for a while. That idiot, I really have him wrapped over my finger, he would basically lick shit for me.But that is not really the point right now, I can’t let that slut take my place in the Holmes family. Its better for me to go and find Alex now, he’ll need someone to relax with and give him some peace, peace that he only gets with me. I walked through the hallway to Alex’s office but to my surprise, he wasn’t there. Oh , I forgot he is off duty for a while, so where has he gone to? I looked for him at the garden, the dining room and the three parlors but he was nowhere to be found.As I had given up, I suddenly heard the bedroom door of Mr and Mrs Holmes close violently. That must be Alex leaving, but Mr Holmes left this morning, meaning he was
Zack's PovIt's been a moment since I've seen Sophia. After the hospital incident, I haven't had time to get to her, I hope she is okay. Sometimes I really fear leaving her in that house with Alex around. But again I can't do anything about it, I've been really busy, hopefully Alex will take more slots this week so I can rest a little. I miss home, I most certainly miss Sophia. Travelling is fun the first few times but it's only thriving when you have good company.I stepped out of the car and went straight to my office. I've still got some little things to do before I can clear my schedule. Maybe then I can have some time with Sophia. I picked up the phone to call my P.A so she could take the paper work I had just done."Stacy, come to my office now", in a few seconds she knocked on the door and I let her in. I gave her some last directions and asked for my schedule for next week."Sir next week you have 3 meetings in London, 2 business deals to conclude in Seychelles and Dubai, with
Sophia’s POVMy chest was burning! Everything was hurting, my bones, my flesh, I couldn’t stop screaming. I felt on my knees and cried for help, I struggled to breath, my skin was been burnt, I felt the mark that it would leave on my chest due to the lightness of my dress. I cried, I cried so hard, I screamed in pain and agony. They both watched me, emotionlessly, almost disturbed by the noise I was making. It was too much; I could die in front of these two bastards and they wouldn’t move a finger. The maids stood around watching me in disbelief.I could glimpse tears leaving Rae’s eyes, sadness and terror covering their faces. “Close your mouth yearning bitch! You did this to yourself! You are disturbing and peace! Head back to the kitchen and bring me better tea!”I couldn’t believe my ears, better tea? She asked for hot tea! The fuck does she think she is? I took every ounce of decency in my body and cooled my feelings, suppressed that hateful irritating feeling. Tried to kill ever
Sophia’s POV“Wake up bitch! You’re not beautiful and important enough to sleep this much. Its time to make my tea,” I was awakened by the piercing voice of Leyla screaming as usual, everything to make my life a living hell. It’s been 5 days since I left the hospital, five days that my husband’s slut is moving me up and down the mansion in his absence , asking me to do all kind of nonsense tasks for her. I’ve been following her like a dog, all the maids have had pitiful looks at me but Leyla… Leyla doesn’t care and will never care.I opened slowly my eyes and threw a glimpse at the window, it was dark, the sky was fill of clouds and the morning birds had not yet began chanting. My body was completely tired, bruised and on the verge of giving up. Every inch of muscle in me hurt and my mind was clouded with thoughts, pain and doubts.“its fucking 5 in the morning Leyla, what do you need a tea for?” I retorted in the most respectful way I could think of because my body wouldn’t stand ano
