chapter 51: The Meetup

It's been three days since the assassination attempt on Sonia, and they were unable to capture the lady.Benjamin had transferred Desmond to another hospital, and he placed more guards beside him. Sonia, on the other hand, had insisted on being discharged.Sonia walked around with crutches as she exercised her legs. She sat on a chair in the garden as she stared into space. She had learned not to be reckless and value her life after the failed attempt to end her life. She knew how dangerous and deadly lethal was and doubted she would be given another chance if the assassin had successfully carried out her mission.However, she was conflicted on who wanted her dead and as long as she tried to discard it, her only suspect was her father, but she doubted he would go so low.“A penny for your thoughts?” Benjamin asked as he appeared behind her.“Did you get any information about her?” She asked instead as Benjamin sat beside her.“She's so discreet, and we haven't been able to track her e

chapter 52: A change in plans

“Illegal possession of arms, murdering of two people…”“You're wrong.” Sonia cut her short. “I have actually murdered more people than I could account for. That's what I do for a living, and I can also put an end to your miserable life now without anyone interfering.” She said as she shifted her seat closer to her.“I know you too well dear sister, and I know how despicable you can get. That's why I didn't come alone.” She said, a smirk forming on her face.“Are you referring to your puppet boyfriend? Don't worry, he's occupied at the moment and won't make it in time to see me add you to the list of my murderers.” She said and fear gripped Laura as she couldn't find Mathew on the table he was supposed to be.“You can't do anything still, we're in a public space. Moreover, this video is not only with me. Try anything funny and you'll rot in jail.” Laura seethe trying to mask her fears behind her indifference, but Sonia could see through it.Sonia opened her bag and brought out the pist

Chapter 53: Returning to an unconscious state

Sonia pocketed her hands as she stared at the school building. Today was the day she would rewrite her story of being a retard and she was determined to make it right.Desmond was still unconscious, and she felt bad and at the same time grateful to him. She might be the one laying still in the hospital and end up missing the test, her money, and a chance to prove herself.“Do you intend to stare at the building as if it's your first time being here?” Vincent asked as he hit Sonia from behind.Sonia staggered a little and Vincent was quick to realize something was wrong.“Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern as he checked out her body for any visible injury.Sonia didn't inform him of her accident and she wasn't with her crutches either.“A little dislocated knee. I will be alright regardless.” She said dismissively.“Oh, okay.” Vincent responded, not probing further. “Let's head in then.” He added.“Not yet. An adage says that you don't know the value of what you have

chapter 54: A blessing or a curse?

“Now let's finish our unfinished discussion.” Desmond said as he relaxed on the bed. He had pretended to pass out earlier, and it took all the self-control in Sonia not to hit him again. He had made her freak out!“And what's that?” She asked, deciding to play dumb.“Feigning ignorance won't walk on me dear. What is your relationship with Benjamin?” He asked.“How about you tell me how much you know about Anna?” She questioned back.“Don't answer my questions with questions. I asked you first, and I demand an answer.” He said, his voice a little loud.“Okay. An answer it is then. How about I refresh your memory on how you sent Anna a threat letter during one of Benjamin's visits telling her she couldn't have Benjamin to herself as he was yours?” She shrugged.Desmond turned red from embarrassment as he was reminded of one of his embarrassing moments. He was insecure as a kid as the Godfrey siblings were the only family he had growing up and was jealous when Benjamin informed him about

chapter 55: Laura's scheme

Have you ever long for something so greatly that you finally became repealed after having it? That was the case for Sonia as she stared at her fat bank account. She was seated under the shade in the school garden, away from the students' displeased grumbles.The money she greatly fantasized over has been transferred to her, but she was not as happy as she was supposed to be. There's an eighty percent chance that she might meet with her ex-boss whose men she killed recently.“We have to voice out our displeasure. This result has been rigged. We can't allow a retard to represent our school.” Sonia heard someone whispering and sighed deeply.The same reason she chose to isolate herself was to escape the questioning glances of her classmates and also come up with a perfect solution to avoid going on the trip.“I know I will find you here. Shouldn't we be celebrating our achievement?” Vincent asked as he sat beside her. The smile and joy in his face couldn't be conceded as he was genuinel

chapter 56: The surprise

Sonia woke up with a throbbing migraine as she rolled on the bed. The brightly lit room was proof that she had woken up late.She saw a plate of meal and a medicine bag on the table a few away from her and knew Benjamin had kept it there.She remained on the bed for a couple of minutes before eventually dragging her weak body to the bathroom as she socked herself in the bathtub.Few minutes later, she was out feeling refreshed and much better as she dried her hair before consuming the meal hungrily and took the medicine to help with her migraine.She descended the stairs with the empty dish, and she sighed in relief seeing that the messed up living room was sparkling clean with no trace of last night's mess left.After washing the dishes, she sat on the couch as she retrieved her phone from her bag. It was past two in the afternoon, and she had woken up later than she imagined.She put a call across to Benjamin as she realized he had called her.“You're returning my call after calling
