Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

“Congratulations, Sophie, phase one is complete.” I muttered as I got ready for the day, I had woken up earlier than usual as I could barely hide my excitement for the job opportunity. Working side by side with Karl and Ryan was more than I could ask for. I could not be more happier.

I was not too enthusiastic about the job, and Karl had said he was not going to pay me because he already paid so much for me to be his wife. I was relieved that I could make people who had wronged me years before pay; Karl had no idea what he was getting himself into by hiring me to work for him at his business. I had the perfect opportunity to carry out my intentions both for Ryan and Karl, and I could not afford to miss it.

“You know what time to resume, right? I would not want any latecomers.” He remarked as he was leaving the house. As I watched him leave, my thoughts turned to the day he questioned me why I was so thrilled about a job I was not going to get paid.

“I consider it a privilege to work for you.” I said as I smiled peering into his eyes. “But you already work for me.” He answered as if he was curious about why I wanted to work with him at the office. I could not possibly tell him the true reason, so I went with the decoy, hoping he would believe it.

“I know I do, but not on a professional basis.” I said, and he seemed interested in what I was saying. “Imagine what a work experience from your company would do for me after our contract is completed, as well as a reference from Karl Rutherford.” I said as I realised I had his attention. He chuckled afterwards, as if he believed what I had told him.

“I would never offer you a recommendation, so do not worry.” he mumbled as he turned to face the other side of the bed and even though I heard what he said, I asked him again, and he did not answer. I decided that it was better to let him be, so I did not inquired further.

I hastened to prepare some breakfast for the kids so that I could drop them off before going to work. I had to do my responsibilities at home; before heading to work as that was part of the agreement I signed with Karl to get a job at his office.

“If you insist on working with me, you will still behave as my wife and complete the necessary tasks.” He mentioned the time I agreed to accept the job. I went about my work with enthusiasm, not allowing the obstacles to distract me.

As soon as Selene finished getting ready, she entered the kitchen to meet me and observed that I was especially bright that morning. I noticed her enter the kitchen and turned to face her.

” Ready darling, so sorry, breakfast will be ready in no time.” I said to her as I went about my business.

” You seemed really excited mummy.” Selene stated as she spotted my posture as I prepared breakfast that morning. ” It’s nothing baby, mummy just got a new job.” I responded with a broad smile, I was really happy about the offer, but no one knew why; even Karl was surprised that I accepted to the offer despite the fact that he had warned me I would not be paid.

“Where did you get the job?” she asked, not believing me. “You never told me about any job interviews you went, so how did you manage to get a position?” She enquired. I adored Selene, although her inquisitiveness and intelligence occasionally irked me.

“You could have congratulated me first; nonetheless, I now work for Karl at his office.” I replied.

” Congratulations, Mummy; you work for Uncle Karl in the office. That is simply amazing.” She said as she hugged me. Even though I had other plans for the job, I was glad my daughter was happy. I was able to achieve so much with getting the job and it delighted me.

“I would not be so curious about how she got to work for my dad.” Davis said, and Selene and I both turned to face him. He had entered the kitchen while Selene and I were conversing, and we had not noticed.

“Besides, your mother is a gold digger, and I can not wait for you to leave this house.” He said as he went to the refrigerator to get an apple. I gazed at him as he said, not wanting to start any drama that morning, I decided it was best to ignore him.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I wonder what you would do if Mummy returned.” He muttered as he chewed briskly, as if he were uncultured. I attempted to suppress my laughter because of what he said. I wanted he understood his mother was never coming back and that I was leaving whether she did or not.

“How do you know she will return soon? “Who told you that?” Selene enquired, unable to believe we would be leaving so soon.

“My daddy told me so.” He said, and I struggled to maintain a straight expression.”How convenient. What was he supposed to say? I told myself as I continued with my work. “And mummy called me last night.” He said.

The spoon slipped out of my hands as soon as I heard it; “Karl’s wife was returning?” I thought to myself. It was not even a month since I moved in, and having her here now would ruin everything I had planned.

“Emmh, I stuttered. What do you mean she called you?” I turned and asked him.

“She called me last night and told me she would be home in a few days, I can’t wait to watch you leave.” He chuckled as he walked away.

I hope for a moment there Davis was saying all of this to make me pissed and that all he was saying was not true. I could not have Claire return now that would ruin everything and my chance to enact my revenge.

As soon as the kids were ready, I took them to school my mind filled with what I was going to do about the situation.

” What was I going to do if Claire did return?” I questioned myself as I drove to the kids school.
