LIE TO ME

2. Flashback

                            Sonny's p.o.v

"Of course, how could I have let her be when it was love at first sight. after that, I asked her to marry me. She first thought of it as a weird joke and laughed it out. But when she saw how serious I was, she rejected me instantly." I said sadly.

"Wise lady. That's to be expected of her, she is a decent lady." He whispered under his breath. 

I gave him a murderous look then continued.

"Well, what she didn't know then, was that I had something that she really wanted." I said softly.

"And what the f**k was that something?" He asked seriously.

"Her only son." I answered.

He sprang from his seat with widened eyes.

"Did you f*****g kidnap her son!" He exclaimed.

I angrily picked up a book and threw it at him furiously. Luckily he moved quickly and dodged it.

"Do I look that low of a man to you asshole?" I asked between gritted teeth.

"To be honest no. But I seriously don't trust you right now." He answered loudly.

I sat down on the chair and stretched myself lazily. 

"I just happened to know where her son was. Who she thought had died." I  said lazily.

"Sonny, how did you know about him?" He asked seriously.

"You see brother, I happened to be good friends with her Aunt. like really good friends with her. I remember her showing me a few pictures of her ungrateful niece ( Martha) who bite the hand that had fed her. Then I was drawn to how beautiful she looked in the picture. The aunt mentioned her name a few times as well in our conversation. The woman couldn't stop herself from saying how she despised the girl so much and wanted her dead." I said with a frown.

"Sonny that doesn't answer my question." He whispered.

"The Aunt told me how she had to force the poor girl into p**********n to make her some good money. But then sadly the girl became pregnant. Once she had delivered, she was forced to give  away her only son because she couldn't give him a stable life." I said with a smile.

"So you had someone investigate where her son was?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, I did. You see Brad, It really was fate that brought us together. The first time I heard of Martha was from her Aunt who happened to be one of our loyal VIP brand sponsors. 

And the first time I saw her, was in a picture. I instantly fell for her. But then I decided to just give up my feelings because it was only a freaking few pictures I saw of her. 

After a few years went by, I ran into her being beaten. I knew there and then that fate wanted her with me. I rescued her from that bastard and did some digging of her past life." I answered proudly.

"You are a horrible motherfucker." Brad whispered.

I ignored his words and continued.

"Her son was at an orphanage, he was adopted by some abusive parents who later abandoned him as well.

He was taken to another orphanage to be put up for adoption but no one came to adopt him, that's why I chose to step in." I said then stood up.

"When I told her about her son, she was in denial and shock. But after a few days of convincing. She became desperate and agreed to marry me in exchange for her son." I said honestly. 

"So that was the deal?" He asked seriously.

"No. The deal was to let her go if I was to be satisfied with her wifely duties." I answered.

"You really don't deserve her." He spat.

I ignored him then walked out of the office leaving him all alone to talk to the wind.

I sighed loudly the groaned when the phone rang loudly interrupting my thoughts.

I quickly turned off the shower and stepped out. 

I grabbed the towel that was hanging behind the door and wrapped it around my waist then walked out of the bathroom.

I smiled when I saw the bedroom door open and the room empty. 

"She must have gone out huh." I whispered to myself while I walked to the landline which was at the headboard and picked it up.

"Hello."

"Sonny it's Brad."

"Now what?" I asked seriously.

"I heard from your secretary that you left your office early today. Is everything okay?" He asked in concern.

"Well yeah, it's just that right now I want to rest. I'll call you later okay?" I said then disconnected the call without waiting for his response.

I was about to put the phone back when the door opened and Martha walked in. Luckily this time she was dressed. She was in light blue jeans and a purple blouse. Her hair was pulled up and she looked very beautiful. 

"Martha can you at least cook supper?" I asked while putting the phone back.

"That's why you have a damn maid and a servant." She answered coldly then turned and left the room.

I brushed my hand through my wet hair not knowing what to do. She really was driving me nuts.

I quickly picked up a few casual clothes from the wardrobe. Wore them and went downstairs.

"Dorcus!. Dorcus." I called when I approached the kitchen.

She quickly came out and bowed slightly.

"Sir." She answered.

"Prepare supper now." I commanded lazily.

"Right away sir." She answered then turned to walk away.

Hey.... um... It's only for me, I don't think my wife is eating." I said softly.

"Okay sir." She answered politely.

"Serve mine in another dining room." Martha's voice came from upstairs.

"Another dining room?" Dorcus asked in surprise.

"Yes, or is it that you are deaf?" Martha spat.

Dorcus quickly lowered her gaze.

"That's why I liked the previous maid who quit. She was attentive, never questioned her..."

"Martha that's enough, Dorcus do as she says and try not to question her or act deaf." I said calmly.

"Right away sir." She answered then left.

"It seems she respects you a lot, unlike me." Martha said in a low tone.

"She will with time, just give her some time." I said softly then turned and faced her.

"When will I have my son?" She asked seriously startling me.

This damn woman. She wanted out as soon as possible.

"Should I remind you that we have  been married for only a few weeks?" I asked.

"So?" She fired back angrily.

"Soon," I answered then walked past her.

"Bastard." She whispered then went to the kitchen.
