Chapter 122: RICHARD
"What the fuck just happened?" I asked myself yet again, my eyes still glued to the door from which Sofia had disappeared.
It all felt surreal. One minute she was this close to signing the document and the next she was dashing out of here like the last forty minutes didn’t happen.
I didn’t know what to make of the whole thing. As rare as diamonds, was this moment that I didn’t know what to do?
That seldom happens, being clueless as to what to do, I mean. None of it made sense, I knew she wanted this. She was kinda desperate for it in fact, so why the sudden change?
What could have prompted her to desert her dream, her very purpose in life as if none of it ever mattered?
"Could it be the marriage?" I wondered out loud. It could have been it. It sure sounded like it. But why throw away my gift of choice for the curse of being roped together with someone she probably hated?
Sofia didn’t strike me as the ’love’ kind and even if she was since it was as impossible as finding a needle in a haystack to find a woman who didn’t believe in love. She didn’t sound like she liked this Charlie guy.
I just didn’t see the need or the reason behind her leaving. There had to be something I was missing. A piece that was alien to me. And I hated not knowing things. I just couldn’t stand being in the dark about anything.
My perfect revenge just went up in flames and I didn’t even know what started the fire. I was this close to ruining her life, to making her pay and now, I doubt I would ever see her pissy face ever again.
If only she had signed the contract, then I would at least have hope of tying her down with it. Her signature would have made her mine to command as pleased for at least 6 months. That was more than enough time to break her. More than enough time to pay her back for all the insults and disrespect I’ve had to endure from her.
She would have paid dearly, that by the end of our time together, she would have learned humility and her place. Discovering that I never intended to grant her, her brand would have most definitely perfected her humility.
The bitch would hate me more, but at least she would be bested. Bested with the never-forgetting memory that there were people not to be messed with. People that are above and always be above her. People like me.
