Martha's p.o.v
*Flashback*
"You know what Sonny?. It's not the first time that she has done something to upset me and it seems you are always on her side. Do you love her?" I asked seriously.
It was high time I found out what he felt for that dumb maid. He always had her back and to make matters worse, he dared to raise his voice on me but not her. Something was definitely going on between the two.
"Yes, I do love her." He answered seriously.
The first thing I felt was fear. Then it turned into heartache as my breathing became labored and my throat got dry.
I frowned and tears filled my eyes. My knees got weak and it took everything in me to keep my posture.
He moved closer and placed his hand on my chest with a smile.
"Feel your heartbeat, it's really beating wildly. Are you afraid or shocked over my sudden confession?" He asked teasingly.
I quickly pulled away and took a few steps back.
Why was I feeling like this towards him?. I hated him so much and wanted him to give me back my son....but then why was I reacting like I had feelings for him?.
"None. I'm going to bed now so goodnight." I said then turned to walk away.
"I was just joking Martha, I don't love Dorcus at all. Now forget all about her and rest in your humble prison, because I'm never letting you go."He said seriously.
I unconsciously sighed in relief then moved to the bed and slowly got in the bed covers and lay down.
* End of flashback*
I woke up pretty early before he could, and took a shower. By the time I was done with dressing up, he was still asleep. I took that chance to drive to work. For some reason, I didn't want to talk to him or even look at him.
"Martha!" Linda called loudly snapping me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I asked softly then looked at her.
She sat on the couch next to my desk with a frown across her face.
"About that maid, what was her freaking name again?. Docus right?" She asked as I swallowed hard.
"That maid is driving me nuts Linda, she is always playing deaf and keeps calling me Miss deliberately. I swear that woman hates me." I complained sadly.
"Um... correct me if am wrong but aren't you suppose to be happy being called miss?" She asked.
I tensed then leaned against my chair.
"No, as long as I'm still Sonny's wife, it's Mrs to her, not Miss!" I answered loudly.
"Okay, calm down Martha. I was Just askin.."
"That bastard takes her side always. Do you know how annoying and upsetting it makes me feel?" I asked seriously cutting her off.
"Martha, are you upset because the maid disrespected you, or is it because Sonny took the maid's side instead of yours?" She asked surprising me.
"What are you saying, Linda?" I asked in disbelief.
"Have you ever met that bastard before?" I raised my voice
"Well no." She answered.
"Good, because if you did, you wouldn't say this. I am just upset because that b***h always disrespects me, nothing more." I answered.
"I knew it, you just called me here to chat right?" She asked.
"Well duh, isn't that obvious?" I asked back.
"Look sis, we have been here for hours but you aren't telling me why I'm really here." She said with a low sigh.
I stood up and walked to her.
"I called you here because I missed you a lot. It's been long since I got to look at your beautiful face." I whispered then glanced at my desk when my land phone rang.
I turned and went back then answered it.
"Miss Brown, there is a man here to see you by the name of Mr Andrews." My secretary said.
I kept quiet for a minute in denial. No, There was no way that sonny was at my working place right?. It was Impossible. There was never a day that he had showed interest in my work.
"Miss Brown?" My secretary called in a respectful tone.
"Mr Andrews?. I really didn't make an appointment with him." I answered quickly.
"Um...Miss Brown, he said he is your husba.."
"Let him in," I answered cutting her short then turned to face Linda.
"What?. I don't like that look." She said calmly.
"What does Sonny want here?" I asked in shock while putting the phone down.
"Sonny?. As in thee Sonny?" She asked loudly.
I shook my head with a rapid beating heart.
A knock on the door startled me.
"Should I let him in?" I asked in a whisper.
"Of course let him in!. Moreover, it's high time that he gets to meet your only sister." Linda answered seriously then fixed her dress and sat upright.
"Come in," I answered loudly then sat down on my chair.
The door opened and he walked in with a smile. His smile faded when his eyes landed on Linda.
"Linda Brown," He whispered in a shocked tone.
Linda lifted her hand and pointed a finger at him with her jaw dropped open.
"No f*****g way." She whispered while she stood up.
"f*****g way," Sonny answered with laughter then matched to her and pulled her in a hug.
I sat there watching them speechlessly.
"Damn it, Andrews, you haven't changed at all. You still look so good and handsome." She said cheerfully while she pulled back.
I swallowed hard feeling confused about what was actually going on.
"Right back at you Linda. You look very beautiful and just the same as then." He answered with a smirk.
He lifted his hand and brushed a strand of her hair from her face with a wide smile.
I bite my lower lip trying to keep calm. For some reason, I was getting super upset and pissed at my sister and my so-called bastard of a husband.
