Setting The Bar

Sofia's POV “The payment has been processed.” My financial advisor informed and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulder. I looked over at my mother and smiled slightly at her. She heaved a deep sigh as well and dropped on the chair crying. My eyes softened seeing her like that and every anger and resentment I thought I harboured disappeared in that moment. It reminded me that my mother was the one I helped and not even Julian. She stood by me during the hardest moment of my life. The least I can do is put a smile on her face. “Oh mother!” I ran towards her and pulled her into my embrace. She sobbed softly on my shoulder and I patted her back till she calmed down.“Mother, you should go home please. You might get sick if you continue like this, I don't know what I might do if you fall sick as well.” I said to her and she shook her head. “No I'm just going to wait till your brother opens his eyes.” She refused.“Which might not happen today. His injuries are severe and he's still pr

The First Of it Kind

Sofia's POVMy eyes widened at his question, and I didn't know whether to answer or just keep my mouth sealed. He was smiling at me with expectation, and my mind went blank. “Sofia!” He called my name with a snap of his finger, and I shook my head. “Uhmm.. Dinner! Uhmm…” I stammered, and my cheeks burned with embarrassment. Matteo scoffed and strode over to where I stood slowly. “I'm not sure you have had anything to eat today. You've spent your day taking care of everything and everyone. It's time for you to be taken care of, too, as well.” Mattoe said, and I glanced up at him in surprise. “But…” I wanted to protest, but he grabbed my wrist and walked away with me outside. “There will be no objections.” He said and I didn't have a choice but to go with him. I felt a warmth in my heart, and I smiled all the way till we made it to the car.We arrived at the restaurant and made our reservations. We were seated in a few minutes, and one of the waitresses attended to us. “Good eveni

Facing The Truth

Sofia's POVLady Marta flinched and immediately retreated. Her eyes widened as she couldn't believe that I had just yelled at her. “Did she just yell…” She mumbled words, and I walked away from behind the table where I stood and marched towards her. “Don't you have any shame, lady Marta?” I punched the question, and her eyelashes fluttered.“I don't know what you are talking about. Why should I be ashamed for demanding justice for my son.” She stammered, and I chuckled mockingly at her. “If you want to demand justice, why don't you make way to the council house where your son used to work before he was kicked out for corruption.” I said with a smirk, and she glanced up at me with surprise written on her face. “His father in law is the mayor of the city. Why can't he help your son, lady Marta?” I asked her, and she tugged down at her cloth nervously, unable to find her voice for a few minutes. “Well, he's…” She stammered, not daring to look up at me. “Oh! I almost forgot. He was

Mattoe’s Hidden Feelings

Mattoe's POV I sat back at the board meeting observing Sofia lead the discussion. My eyes flickered with my eyes glued to her and I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions wash through me. Ever since the night we had dinner together, I have not been able to get her out of mind for even a split second. I admire her, but this feels more than admiration. With each passing minute I spend in her presence. Every conversation where I'm able to hear her voice. Every meeting giving me an insight into her intelligence and a more reason to admire her. I feel drawn to her and even though I have tried cautioning myself several times. I still find myself doing it, and today doesn't seems to be an exception. My emotions seem to be over the top today and I just kept staring at her, not stealing glances this time as I used to. Sofia would catch my eyes once in a while and would pause, clear her throat and continue with her presentation. It made me giggle internally. I love that I'm a

Isabella’s Report

Isabella's POV.I exhaled sharply and clutched the long brown envelope containing vital information to my chest. I've been contemplating for days whether or not to do this, then I finally agreed to go through with it. I can no longer stand how much Mr Aldana ignores me. He has completely shut me out, and I'm beyond certain that bitch, Sofia has something to do with it. He has refused for me to return to the Estaban Global Conglomerate, citing that they were more important projects that needed my attention at other companies, and since I was his assistant, it only made sense for me to represent him. However that is true, I can't bring myself to accept the fact that I would no longer be seeing him as usual and Sofia gets all his attention. This would give her the perfect opportunity to sharpen her claws and take mattoe away from me. And I refuse to sit by and let that happen.“Here goes!” I sighed and walked into the restaurant where Lucia Eduardo and I have arranged to meet this af

Santoro’s Rock Bottom

Santoro's POVI sat back on the couch with the TV remote in my hands doing nothing. Ever since I returned from the club where I had seen the mayor and his friends and recorded their conversation. I have felt a little bit at ease even though it has not been easy living through it. I would have exposed their plans immediately, but I had no power or support of sort to cross the line. Mayor Eduardo would have the news removed in seconds that is if it ever made it out. The only way I could win against him is to team up with someone much more powerful.Sofia!Her name rang in my mind once again. I would love to see her and probably get an audience with her. But with my current situation, I'm probably just day dreaming. I don't even have the tiniest amount to fuel my car. How the hell will I get to her? If I show up at her company looking this way. I will be thrown out before I even get the opportunity to speak. News about me is still circulating especially with the latest update which I

Lady Marta’s Denial

Santoro's POV.It's been two weeks since I went to the pawn shop to get my things sold, and just like I predicted, I have spent everything I have on me. Lucia and I had a fight and she threw me out of the house. Tears dripped down my eyes as I stood outside a homeless shelter as evening falls, carrying a plastic bag with my few remaining possessions. With the corruption investigation freezing all my assets, of course I have nowhere else to go. Reluctantly I stepped into the shelter, and my mouth dropped open at the sight in front of me. The shelter is overcrowded and depressing, filled with people society has forgotten or abandoned. “You want something?” A woman brushed past me and asked. I shook my head at first not wanting to acknowledge that I actually need help and decided to sort for it here.“Then you should leave, we have more important things to deal with than attend to you. Please move!” The middle-aged woman brushed me aside, and I held unto my belongings clamped to my c

Dinner at home.

Sofia's POVMy mother's voice has been echoing in my head since the last time we spoke about Mattoe. Of course, I have ensured to avoid her completely so she wouldn't have to lecture me all over again about Mattoe. And since she has been spending most of her days at the hospital taking care of my brother, Julian. We have not seen much of each other lately. Julian is also yet to open his eyes. The doctors, however, have promised us that he's responding to the treatments pretty well. I heaved a deep as I wonder what she meant by her last words to me before I stormed upstairs, not wanting to hear another word from her. “My mother has no idea how much we hated each other. We are only just starting to get along.” I chuckled and shook my head in denial. There's no way there's anything more to the tension that has always existed between us. It has gotten a little better, at least in a positive way. We are no longer at each other's throat, I especially.My phone chimed at the solemn musi

The spark.

Sofia's POVMy eyes softened at the sight of him, and my heart thudded within my chest. It's been a while since I have been caught alone with him like this, and I can't help but feel weird and nervous at the same time. Our gaze locked for a minute, and my eyes flickered with emotions I couldn't quite place myself. My nose twitched at the strong masculine cologne oozing from him. I shook my head, quickly regained myself, and tilted my head to the side. Mattoe!” I called out his name, and he drew back a little bit. “I'm sorry! I just got a little carried away. Congratulations on another hit project, I've been seeing the news.” He said to me with his eyes fixed on something else. I cleared my throat and didn't think too much of it, even though I could feel it that there was something wrong. “Exactly why I have come here. Do you want to go out and celebrate with me tonight? My mother has invited you to dinner at our house.” I dished out my words in a single breath with my fist clenc

The Dawn of Truth

Mattoe's POVMy breath siezed the minute I laid my eyes on her as she stepped down from the stairs majestically. Her legs carried her body so elegantly that I almost choked on my saliva from staring too much.The peach floral gown she wore hugged her waist perfectly displaying her figure in the most beautiful way. Her pale skin complimented her makeup and I must say that I have never seen her look this feminine. Her black long hair flowed seductively down her back and I was almost close to rushing towards her and grabbing it. Finally her face came into view and her succulent lips was the first thing my eyes captured. Her lips curved up into a smile and my lips spread widely as well. My eyes trailed up her face and her eyelashes fluttered slowly. That moment it dawned on me that I have fallen in love with Sofia and my feelings are stronger than something that I can control. She walked closer to me and I drew back involuntarily. Every fibre of my being screamed for me to run back,
