Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

” What do I do now?” I questioned myself as I headed downstairs to get the kids ready for school; Karl had refused to understand why I should work at his company, which irritated me. ” Karl is simply too stubborn.” I murmured as I recalled how he had refused to proceed with the contract marriage at the time, causing me a great deal of stress in making the marriage to work, and now this.

I wished he would simply listen to reason and not force me to use other methods to obtain what I wanted, since the truth was that no matter how difficult it was, I always got what I wanted in the end.

“Perhaps I could work from home. I puzzled as I tried to explore other options. ” Nah, it is not going to work.” I murmured to myself; I needed to be close to Ryan for the plan to succeed, and no matter how hard I tried to persuade Karl, he remained determined, refusing to see reason with me.

I felt it was best to leave him alone in the hopes of devising a better plot that would compel him to agree whether he wanted it or not.

I left the room and had gone up to Davis room afterwards to ask what he had lied about everything. I needed some clarity to why he did that. Last I checked, Davis did not want anything to do with me, ” but why did he not tell his father about the real issue that had happened between us.” I wondered, I opened up his room to meet his packing his bags, already prepared for school. I tried to have a conversation with him but it seemed evidently that he did not want to talk to me, so I left to get their breakfast ready before they headed to school.

As I made breakfast, I could not but ponder on the exact scheme to put off now to get Karl to agree on this one. ” I guess I would figure it out eventually.” I mumbled to myself as I set the table. Soon enough, they were done with the food and I got the keys to go drop them off at school.

I dropped them off at school and headed back to the house. My thoughts filled with how to deal with Ryan if I did not work at the office, there was no way to get so much access to him and no matter what I said, it was not going to change how much Karl already adored him. ” I can’t just do nothing.” I muttered, I needed closure and I was going to get it no matter what it took.

I had a mission to accomplish, for my daughter and for all the pain I had to go through all these years. ” Ryan was going to have the hell of his life as far as I was concerned.” I mumbled as I thought about the issue. Fate was on my side, and I was determined to take advantage of the temporary position I had as a result of my marriage to Karl. ” Ryan has to pay.” I mumbled, determined to do whatever it took to achieve what I wanted.

When I saw Ryan, the agony in my heart resurfaced, and I realised the only way to recover was to watch Ryan suffer as much as I did. He had brought me nothing but pain even while we were dating. And now, he was here. I was not going to let him touch my daughter or anything that concerned me.

“How can I get this done?” I murmured to myself, still buried in thoughts. Soon enough Sonia call came in while I was driving home jolting me out of my reverie.” Why was she calling?” I asked myself as I picked up the call.

” Hi Sophie, how have you been?” She asked as soon as I answered the phone. “Well, I have been fine; I have simply been really busy at work.” I responded. I told her I had gotten a job elsewhere. That was the only way to explain why she did not see me very often.

Even though she had asked for the address of where I worked, I refused to tell her anything because I did not technically have a job other than being Karl’s contract wife.

“How are you, too?” I asked her and she said she was well, she spoke about her husband and how his cheating behavior was running her crazy, but that she could not possibly leave him because she was madly in love with him.

” It is gonna fine.” I said reassuring her. ” Enough of me Sophie, so I dropped at your house yesterday and I heard you moved to someplace else. Why didn’t you tell me you moved and where do you live now?” She asked me.

” Emmh” I muttered as I was not sure telling Sonia about my new place was a great idea as she had a big mouth, it would just be a matter of time before everyone knew I lived at Karl’s place and was in a contract marriage with him. I pretended not to hear her ” Hello, I guess the reception is poor here, I will call you back later.” I said as I ended the call.

” Thank goodness, I was almost caught.” I muttered again as I drove home. The ride was a smooth one even though I had alot on my mind.

I got to the house and went ahead with other things. I was sure I knew just the right thing to do to make Karl agree that I work that his office.

Just as I was to head to the room to have a nap, the knock bell rang, ” Who was at the house by this time?” I wondered and went on to answer it.

I opened the door and could not hide my amazement to who I had just seen. It was the cops,” but why were they here?” I wondered.

” Officers, why are you here?” I said to them as I saw them at the entrance. ” Hope there is no problem?” I asked again, curious about why they had come.

” Is Mr Karl in?” They asked and I asked what its was about. ” We found a suspect related to the robbery case at the house moments ago.

” What robbery case?” I inquired as my heart raced with thoughts. “The robbery case at your house ma’am.” The officer said, ” oh pardon me, its been a rough week.” What about it?” I asked, well we found someone who we think is a suspect to this case and wanted to talk to Mr Karl about it.” I faked a grin as my head buzzed with thoughts “there had been no robbery, who did they find? I wondered.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

” What’s the name of the culprit you caught?” I asked becoming uncomfortable, I knew for sure I made the story about the robbery and now they had caught someone. I hoped I had not made a big mistake with lying about all these.

I began sweating profusely, and they glanced at me curiously, wondering if I was okay. “I am really sorry about this. I said with a phoney grin.

“I have been ill for quite some time.” I added that as they stared at me, I felt compelled to say something to demonstrate that I was not made uncomfortable by what they had said. “Remember the injury on my head that day?” I enquired, “Yes, what about it?”I said, still attempting to mask my uneasiness behind a smile.

I started to perspire and gulped for breath-” wait, you mean you found the culprit?” I asked the officer, and he said that they had indeed apprehended the robber. Even still, they were unwilling to reveal who it was.

“We got one Ryan.” They asked, “You mean Ryan did this?” When I queried them, they replied they had reasons to believe that.

“But!!” I started to say, but I realised it would be strange supporting Ryan because I stated I did not know or see who the culprit was.

” How were they able to link Ryan to this case?” I questioned myself, still staring at the police officers.
