Sonia Nevermind Novels & Stories

And then the video cut to black. --- Five Minutes to Midnight Sonia sat on her bed, staring at the frozen screen. This wasn’t just about pretending anymore. It was about pulling the whole house of secrets down with her. The Cartel wanted silence. But what if she gave them something louder than a confession? What if she gave them a truth they couldn’t un-hear? Five minutes to midnight. The next match was hers to light.

Mina hugged her, as Grace gently rubbed her hand against Sonia's back. “You bitch, you betrayed us. How could you?" Sandra asked, forgetting we were surrounded. “Shut up and get ready for what's coming your damn way. I do not owe you an explanation, so get lost," Sonia said, giving Sandra a hot slap. I just hoped I wasn't next. "Nelly, you seem so silent; have you not always said I am useless? Why are you not using your intellect to get out of this?" she asked and I couldn't even respond.

She also doesn't look at me. Liam, magnificently oblivious, presses on. "Can I at least get your number? For the audition? Or honestly even just coffee, I-" "Liam." This time the tone of my voice seems to register. He subsides, approximately three percent chastened. Sonia turns away to sign something the assistant has put in front of her. Her hand is shaking. I steer Liam out of the shop. On the pavement he’s already mounting his appeal. "Tash, did you see her, she was practically begging me to cast her-"

But here stood Dylan, the very person she admired most, his eyes locked onto hers with that look that made her heart ache inside. "I… Sorry," Sonia said, her head bowing low. Her voice was small, and the fingers clenched about the fabric of her dress tightly. "I… My mouth was loose. I was just… happy that time." She hadn't been able to finish with much persuasion before her voice cracked looking at him through unshed tears. "I missed my friend. I missed what we used to have before Hampton became our whole world."

I was gone. "Catherine… Cathy… Sweetie… where are you? Please, come out! Cathy, I remember now… Please, just come out!" He screamed at the empty space, but no one answered. He fumbled with his phone, calling me over and over. Still, no response. It was then he realized, in a gut-wrenching moment of despair, that aside from my love for sculpture, he knew nothing about me. His knowledge of his own wife was painfully barren. The phone rang again. This time, it was Hannah. "Theo… where are you? It hurts so much… Please come back… Our baby…"

Sonia bowed and left but not without waving at Nancy. Sonia slumped on her bed as soon as she got to her room. "This Anthony of a guy is getting on my nerves seriously. Does he know who I am, if I were to compare the both of us then we are no match." Sonia thought, the ring coming out of her phone jolted her off her thoughts... She got a new phone and discarded the other one. Sonia dragged out a drawer then she brought out her new phone, she checked the caller ID and saw it was Mike, she picked it at once.

Hopefully, she would realize what she was doing and start doing something too redeem herself. Unfortunately, I was snapped out of my thoughts when the sound of her heels got fainter and fainter which only meant one thing. Sonia, the school’s grade ‘A’ bitch, just backed out of a challenge and insult made by the school’s nerd. Today just got better and better, I mused silently, watching Sonia’s retreating back.

There was even a boy whom Sonia liked for four years, but still refused to accept her even after Angela rejected him. After graduating, angela had no choice but to enter Winston business group, while sonia had joined Heart business group in Fairview city. Sonia had made use of her body to get to the position of assistant general manager of the investment department in just a few years, so naturally she was gleeful. "But because she's not as pretty as you, she had to go for plastic surgery!" Jate didn't even need to guess. "It a pity that she's gotten uglier with every surgery, and now her face is all stiff."
