Sophia came into the mansion. She had just returned with Toby from shopping. Now she held all the bags in her two hands and practically staggered into the kitchen. She dropped everything on the sink and heaved a sigh. She was feeling really weak. She was still not accustomed to the strenuous work in the house. She sat on the floor, her back against the wall as she thought about what was going to happen tonight. She shuddered at the thought of Jason touching her.
Jason came in at that moment to see Sophia sitting on the ground, resting her chin on one knee with her hand wrapped around her leg while the other leg was stretched out in front of her. She avoided his gaze as she found something imaginary to glance at on the floor.
He ignored her and went to the sink to check out what she had brought in.
"What's the party For" She asked not moving an inch.
"Why do you want to know. You're not invited"
"Veronica wants everyone to be present at the party. We're all going to be wearing her new designer outfits"
"You're not going to be present at the party" He said quietly and Sophia knew he was not joking. She looked up at him.
"Why?"
Jason hesitated.
"Why. Why can't I be present at the party"
"There's someone I don't want you to meet"
"Who"
"Your sister"
"What?"
He frowned. "Didn't you hear what I said"
"I don't understand. Why would my sister be present at the party"
Jason told her.
Sophia was so happy. She thought that Pearl had forgotten about her. But she was wrong. Pearl had done this but to come and take her away from this horrible place.
"But you're not going to be present at the party"
"And who's going to stop me. You?"
"Yes"
Sophia pursed her lips. She was suspicious. How come he was so free telling her that Pearl was going to be present at the party that he didn't want her to come to.
"If Pearl tries to take you away...I might kill her" He looked at her. " I do things my way and you're not to leave this house till after a week when Angel must have returned and when I must have satisfied myself with your body"
"You're a shameless bastard", She almost cried.
"But if you would like to see your sister tomorrow, I won't stop you. But I'll let you come to the party if you'll be good in bed today" That playful smirk was on his lips again.
That's when her heart pulse beat faster. She stood up when she noticed he had come close to her.
Suddenly the clock struck 5:00pm. She looked at the clock and gulped.
