THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

After being discharged from the hospital, Sophia decided to sped some days in her parents’ house, devising her revenge plan. During her stay at the hospital, neither Edward nor Richard came visiting. Sophia had warned Jack who apart from the Doctor and her parents knew about the miscarriage never to mention it to anyone.

Several days of thinking on how to avenge her baby brought her to a decision; to work in Edward’s father’s company. Being close to Edward and Ellie would make her get her revenge on Ellie as soon as possible, she had thought. Since her father was a partner of the company, it would be easy having her way into the company.

On one of those days when her father got home, she had made her intention of working in the Lions Fashion Group known.

‘Dad, I will like to work with Edward at his father’s company’, Sophia had said.

‘Is there a reason for that? Do you know since when I have been begging you to work for my company?’, her dad asked.

‘Nothing, dad. Just feel like it’s time for me to start working’, Sophia said, trying to convince her dad.

‘Then work for me instead. What will be my gain if you work for another company with the knowledge you have in Fashion after sending you abroad to study?’, her dad questioned.

‘As a wife, I just feel I should be supporting my husband. Don’t also forget that you are a partner of the company and whatsoever growth the Lions company attains, will also be in your favor’, Sophia said, trying her possible best to convince her father.

‘Okay, if that’s what you want. I will have a discussion with Daniel about this. When do you intend to start?’, her dad asked.

‘As soon as possible, dad’, she said. ‘I need to resume as soon as possible to make life a living hell for her’, Sophia had thought.

Just like her dad had promised, Sophia resumed work two day after. Admiring herself in the mirror on her first day of owrk, Sophia smiled. She dressed elegantly that anymore would fall for her. Alighting from her car and on her way to Edward’s office, Sophia couldn’t help but smile as her quest for revenge was about to begin. On entering Edward’s office after bypassing the receptionist had who tried to stop her, she met Ellie and Edward reviewing some files.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

‘Seems like the two lovebirds are busy’, Sophia said, walking up to where they were sitting.

‘Hello hubby’, Sophia said, kissing Edward on the cheek which made Ellie smirked. To taunt Ellie, Sophia placed her hand on Edward’s shoulder.

‘Get your filthy hands off me. What the hell are you doing here?’, Edward asked, getting provoked.

‘What I am doing here? I am here to work’, Sophia said, leaving Edward and Ellie confused.

‘Sorry, my bad. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sophia Porous, the new Senior Manager of the Fashion Team’, Sophia said smiling, and extending her hand to shake Edward. Ellie on the other hand sat still and watched as the drama unfolded.

‘Says who?’, Edward queried.

‘Says your father, who is also my father-in-law’, Sophia said in a mockery voice.

‘But he never told me anything’, confused Edward said.

‘That is to show you that you are nothing but a figurehead. You hold no power and your opinion is not needed in running the affairs of the company. Seems like you have forgotten that you wouldn’t be sitting on that chair without my help’, Sophia said.

‘Why are you doing this?’, Edward yelled, facing Sophia.

‘Why am I doing this? I wouldn’t have turned into this if you hadn’t abandoned me to chase after her’, Sophia said.

‘Abandoned you? You cheated on me with my best friend first. You think I am not aware you are carrying his child? I walked on you guys’ conversation that night and I discovered the truth. How could you have done that?’, Edward asked in a sad and betrayed voice.

‘You knew all along?’, Sophia who was shocked by the revelation made by Edward asked.

‘Yes, I do. Why do you think I changed towards you?’, Edward asked with a raised eyebrow.

‘Baby, I am sorry. You know what, we can start over again. Richard actually forced me into doing that. I didn’t mean to betray you. Just let go of everything and let’s start all over’, Sophia said in a pleading voice, holding Edward’s hand. Ellie who stood still watching, couldn’t help but notice that Edward was still in love with Sophia. It showed on his face that he was hurting, the hurt that comes from getting betrayed by someone you love. Confusion was written all over Edward’s face, making Ellie scared that he might choose to go back to Sophia.

‘I am sorry but I can’t. Let’s get a divorce’, Edward said, yanking Sophia’s hands off him. This statement brought ease to already anxious Ellie as she had thought she would suffer the same fate as her mother; the fate of raising her child alone without his father. She had found out she was pregnant but hadn’t told Edward yet because she was scared of what his reaction might be. She rubbed her hand on her belly, the action which was seen by Sophia and which made Sophia smiled.

‘A divorce? What will be your ground for the divorce? Do you think your father will let you go through with it? You think I will consent to that? No, I won’t. If I can’t have you, then nobody else will’, Sophia said, showing her dark side.

‘I don’t need your consent; I will just go ahead and file for divorce. As for my father, I will make it known to him that you are cheating on me and you are carrying another man’s child’, Edward said with a stern face.

‘Cheating on you? With who? Another man’s child? This baby is yours darling’, Sophia said giggling.

‘What? But you just admitted to cheating on me with Richard’, surprised Edward who was shocked by Sophia’s change in attitude said.

‘You mean I? When did I? I never said that’, Sophia said, laughing hysterically.

‘Go make it known to your father and let’s see if he will believe you’, Sophia said whispering into Edward’s ear.

‘I need to go back to my desk now and get to work. As for you, enjoy the moment while it lasts’, Sophia said walking away.

‘After killing my child, you think I will allow you birth yours? No, it’s not possible. Just watch as I pay you back in your own coin’, Sophia who had realized Ellie was pregnant, said upon leaving Edward’s office with a vengeful look.
