CHAPTER 1

Sophias Pov.

I lay on the bed thinking about my life, and how I have been cheated and deprived of so many opportunities by my stepmother and especially, my step-sister, ''Melody''.

Life hasn't been fair to me, ever since my father divorced my mother out of his stupidity and recklessness.

While I lay on the bed probably waiting for the next shout and beating either from ''Angela'' my stepmother, or ''Melody'' my stepsister, I was surprised to hear two familiar voices singing close to my door and bordered about it, I went close, and open the door.

''Hello, my love! We are here for you'' Jethro my fiancé announced.

''Hi babe! What sup''?'' Melody my step-sister hailed.

''I mean, I don't understand. Can I know what's going on?'' I asked in surprise.

Ever since I have known both of them, they've never been good and tolerant of me like this. Jethro is never the kind of guy that tolerates jokes and Melody, on the other hand, is not the friendly type of lady to me. So, what has happened behind the bars, and why are they now being cool with me? I wonder why they are even together.

''Cheer up my baby sister. We have a surprise for you'' Melody informed with a smile on her face.

''Surprises? Since when did you start giving me surprises?'' I asked.

Her mood immediately changed, making her feel cold.

''Oh! My dear. Just give her a chance to have some space with you, please. As you can see, she's here to make up things with you'' Jethro informed, with a down and crying tone.

I was down and felt touched by Melody's sadness and calmness. I held her by the hands and finally hugged her.

''Go and get dressed immediately. I want to take you out'' She said. I looked at her and was moved by her kind words again. However, I think I should just give her a chance to be cool with me at least, for once, since I we've been cat and rat for the past ten years.

I then went into the bathroom, took my bath, and finally dressed. Immediately after I was done, we boarded Jethro's car, and we drove to a hotel that was not too far from our house.

''What would you like to drink and eat?''The waitress asked each of us, and we told her what our tastes in meals and drinks were.

Jethro opened a bottle of desperado wine and poured it into a glass cup that was set before me, and still poured it on Melody's and his.

''I'm sorry for all I have done to you. I want you to find a place in your heart, to forgive me'' Melody pleaded, with dots of tears about to flow from her eyes.

Just when she was speaking and pleading, Jethro stood and hurried out of the scene I didn't know where he was going and i had no idea what Jethro and Melody were really up to. Although, I wasn't that happy, seeing the both of them together because she is known for snatching people's boyfriends.

Twenty minutes later, Jethro arrived, with some kind of suspicious sweat on his body and clothes.

The moment he arrived, one of the hotel's waitresses came to inform us that our attention was needed somewhere in the V.I.P. session, which happened to be a secluded and special abode for men of high calibres.

''I'm sorry, you all have to come along with me because an important person will be coming to meet you there'' She said.

''All right then, let's go'' Jethro quickly agreed.

As we stood, I felt some kind of dizziness in me, which made me want to fall asleep. I struggled to work, by dragging my feet to where needed.

Jethro stood again, and went to an unknown location, without saying a word to me and Melody. Ten minutes later, he returned. He looked at Melody, communicated with his eyes and two of his right fingers and a few seconds later, both of them held my b hands, and walked me away.

''Where are you two taking me to?'' I asked in a drunken and frustrated tone. I think I have drunk too much wine. No, I'm not sure. After all, the wine wasn't that alcoholic.

''Just shut up your mouth. We are taking you to your husband's place'' Melody responded in a wicked manner. 

''Oh!, I see. I would like to meet my husband'' I responded also. However, I didn't even know what I was saying because my eyes were greatly turning on me.

Soon, we reached a certain door, and three hefty men in black suits received me. They rushed me into the room and threw me on the bed. A few seconds later, they threw a young-looking man, who also appeared to be drunk like me, on the bed.

The door was then, closed.

By the next morning, I woke up and found myself lying naked on the body of this total stranger. He was also naked. I accessed my body and realized that we had a one-night stand last night.

However, I couldn't remember anything again as the only thing I could remember was me moaning, and him, screaming out of pleasure.

''Who the hell are you?'' I asked him anger, as I fixed my gaze at him.

''Who the hell are you too?'' He looked at me strangely and suspiciously, as he asked in shock.

As our eyes jammed, I touched his face like I was feeling compassionate for him and gave him a dirty slap, that left a scar on his face.

He looked at me and turned to the other side of the bed out of shame. I could see confusion in his eyes, as he doesn't seem to have an idea of how he managed to find himself in the room, and had a carnal affair with me.

While we were still in the saga of confusion, a knock was heard on the door, and I could see both Jethro and Melody, walking inside the room.
