Chapter 123: SOFIA
I wondered who it was. Probably it was her lover, Mr William coming to pick her up or drop a gift. The man was smitten.
It was pathetic. The pair had been on how many dates already and the man just couldn’t stay a day without sending gifts and wackass notes.
I pitied him. Whatever this was, I doubt it was love at least on Alicia’s side. The bitch was incapable of anything love. I couldn’t be more right when I say that, whatever they had going on was a fling. A fling that would pass as soon as Alicia gets tired of it all.
Don’t let the fact that the twins have already met the guy fool you. She does that. She lets her guys believe that since they’ve been introduced to her kids, her family that they were important. That the relationship was real and gaining serious ground. But in essence, it was all bullshit.
Alicia was a goddamn player, through and through.
Sometimes, I wonder if that was how it had been with Simon. If she at one time had loved him or was it all a fling that ended up with twins. Or perhaps she had loved him only to discover that he had been playing her and now she was shielding herself and her world from another upending.
I almost pitied the late Mr Blake. He must’ve gone through hell in her hands, no wonder the poor man indulged in gambling and drinking. Any escape from Alicia’s cruelty and tantrums would have been bliss to him. Too bad he had to die from it.
"Who could that be?" Alicia queried, echoing my thoughts.
"Felix, are we expecting any guests?" She went on facing the senile steward who shook his head in a negative.
"What about you, my dearests? Did you invite anyone over?"
"No, mama" the twins echoed as one.
"Who knows it could be Charlie, calling on Sofia here" Anna exasperated, oblivious to how much her words affected her twin.
