“I want a second chance.”
“Ethan you're delusional,” I spat out, “you don't love me. You only love your ego and yourself. Only yourself you narcissistic bastard.”
“I know I hurt you Sophia but I am willing to do whatever it takes to make things right with you. I want to be a family with you and Jack. Just the three of us. Let's get away from all these noise.”
I laughed mockingly, “You want to be a family? You've got to be kidding me. You're the last person I'd think of raising a family with.”
Just then, the door bell rang.
“Get out Ethan.” I hissed in anger, “Get out before I call the cops!”
“Sophia please, just listen to me.” He knelt down with his face all scrunched up. I was so angry and pissed off. I went over to the door and flung it wide open for Ethan to get the hell out but there she stood.
Rachel.
“So you're the one who's been seeing my husband?” she spat, “you're the hoe.”
Rachel.
“You're still as beautiful as ever Sophia. I guess you're still single cause no man would want a barren island. And I see… you're still trying to play the victim.”
“You know very well that you destroyed my marriage, not me.”
Rachel laughed out ruthlessly, “Oh please.. spare me that puppy s**t. You can see very well Sophia.” Rachel said rubbing her tummy.
“This is something you can never have in your entire life,” she said, rubbing her tummy.
“Rachel.. I want you to leave this place.” I swallowed hard, “Take your filthy husband and leave my house.”
“Oh… Sophia.. why are you in a rush? I am not even done yet,” she smiled pulling out a sonogram from her black Gucci handbag.
My eyes widened to what I saw on that piece of paper.
“This right here is Ethan's baby. And I am going to make sure he takes responsibility for it.” She giggled.
“And what makes you think i care about your trash of a husband? I have my new life. I have moved on and I expect you to do the same. Gosh.. Rachel, you are so stuck in the past. Get a life.”
“You're not even angry or upset?” Rachel squeezed her face in confusion.
“Why would I be? Ethan and I are done. He's all yours. You can chain him to a tree if you want.”
“You're not even…”
“Rachel, take your bad luck and get out of my house.” I moved over and pushed Ethan out of my house, then I slammed the door at both their faces. They should let me be for crying out loud.

My fingers tapped hard at the keyboard. We had a deadline coming up and I needed to meet up with before then. I was typing away as fast as I could before I felt hot tea spill on my desk.
“Oops!”
I looked up and met with a brunette. Average height, light skinned, a causer of mischief. Avery.
“Sofia… don't you think it's strange that you're always getting special favours from the boss. You always get the best projects and you feel that you're above us.” She looked around and seeing that everywhere was safe she leaned in covering her mouth partially and whispered, “By any chance… are you sleeping with him?”
My eyes narrowed and my hands stopped typing mid way. “Avery, why not try sleeping with the boss yourself? Maybe you could get the same kind of favors that I do. I mean, after all… we all have the same vaginas.” I smirked.
Her mouth twisted in defense, she was about to say something before Mr. Smith called me over to his office.
Mr. Smith's office was a very cozy place to be in. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Even his seat, so fluffy and sweet to be on. I could sit there all day and not get a butt ache like the regular chairs in our workplace.
“Sophia, I have been impressed with your work lately. You have made a really huge impact to this industry. I must applaud you.”
I smiled cheerfully, Thank you so much Mr. Smith. You don't know how much this means coming from you.”
Mr. Smith leaned in and whispered in a low tone, “How about we have dinner tonight to celebrate your success. And maybe we can discuss some new projects… just the two of us.”
My eyes widened with excitement. Very corny. Is this really professional or are we crossing the boundaries here?
I left his office and returned to my desk typing. Avery narrowed her eyes at me and scoffed.
“Well, well, well… look who's getting special treatment now.”
I just ignored her and continued typing. She wasn't worth my time at all. She was just a bitter b***h. I bet her life at home sucks so badly so she wants to project her insecurity on me but I would never let her.
When I was done with typing, I started packing up. I packed all my belongings and was about to head out before Mr. Smith got to my front.
“Sophia, I forgot to mention, my car is in the shop today. Would you mind if I gave you a ride?”
I hesitated for a bit but then accepted, I was still having mixed feelings though. “Sure, that's okay. Thank you Mr. Smith.”
As we walked out of the office together, I could feel Avery's eyes burn at us.
♡
Mr. Smith dropped me off at my apartment safely. I was so happy. It was a privilege being dropped of by my boss although I knew that Avery would be on my tail every now and then but I couldn't care less. If she wants to gossip to the entire world, let her.
Mr. Smith turned off his engine and turned to me, his eyes was so bright under the dark light. “Sophia, I'll drop you off here. Have a good evening.”
“Thank you Mr. Smith.” I nodded feeling a sense of relief.
He clicked on a button and made the side of the door in my car open automatically. I grabbed the car knob and pushed the door open.
When I got down I waved at him and smiled. “Have a goodnight sir.”
“Goodnight to you too Sophia.” He said then rolled up the glass and zoomed off.
