Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 3 Cynthia's Evil Plot

After a short while, Sophia got to her friend's house as she knocked on the gate. The gateman was quick to open the gate before she finally walked into the building, heading towards her friend's room.

inside the sitting room…

A young beautiful girl of about Sophia's age sat on the sofa, going through the internet with her phone as she laughed and smiled continuously at the view of the funny scenes showing. The lady's name was Cynthia.

But suddenly, there was a knock that came from the door.

"Who is that?" Cynthia asked. Before she could stand from the sofa to walk towards the door where the sound of the knock came from, she saw someone push the door wide open.

"Sophia?" She called in disbelief as she swiftly walked towards Sophia, giving her a hug. Not a passionate hug though. She saw the injury on Sophia's face but felt less concerned to ask her what had happened to her because the bleeding already stopped. Sophia had wiped off the blood on her way to her friend's house and that was why the injury looked less serious. She also wiped off the dirt on her body as a result of the fall earlier. No one would suspect she had such an encounter with that good for nothing CEO because her appearance didn't give anyone a trace of finding out the truth.

"You didn't tell me you were coming." She said to Sophia. "But though, I'm happy you are here because there is something I needed to talk to you about." She happily said as she gave Sophia a hug for the second time. She held Sophia's arm, shut the door as they both walked towards the sofa to seat and discuss. Meanwhile, Sophia tried her best to stop leaping. Though she was still feeling some pain, she just needed to pretend that nothing was wrong with her way of walking.

Sophia sighed. "So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Sophia asked as she stuttered out some smile. From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come closer." She requested and Sophia obeyed by adjusting herself to sit very close to her.

After a short while, The young lady whispered something into Sophia's ear. upon hearing what her friend said, Sophia was dumbstruck at first but after sometime, she broke the silence.

She widened her eyes in shock, and in awe, she spoke.

"What!!! You really want me to do that!? I'm not… I'm not sure I can do it…"

Said Sofia to Cynthia as she struggled with her words and with the anxiety that was obvious on her face in confusion, she increased the pace of her breath and palmed her face with her hands in frustration. She was in a state where she couldn't say yes because of how difficult Cynthia's request was. She also couldn't say no because Cynthia would feel very bad. She just doesn't want to hurt her dearest friend Cynthia.

As the two girls were still seated on the sofa, Cynthia continued to gaze at Sophia's face as she caressed Sphia's hair who was already damn scared and worried. As Cynthia continued to caress Sophia's hair, she impatiently waited to hear Sofia say "yes" to her selfish request.

Cynthia was so impatient that she had to swallow her saliva multiple times and squeezing her mouth sideways when ever she realized Sophia not directing her sight towards her.

She didn't have to wait any longer because Sophia finally spoke.

"Sis, are you sure about this? I'm scared and i have no experience at all. It is risky!"

Said Sophia to Cynthia while sitting on the sofa as she stuttered those words. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked right into Cynthia's eyes who decided to be mute after she heard Sophia's

nervous statement. Sophia never stopped shivering in fear and anxiety. The fear of 'What would happen to me if I'm caught?' Gripped her heart so badly. She wasn't ready to go to jail at her young age. No! She was too young for that.

The atmosphere was still calm and quiet as so many thoughts ran through Sophia's head.

'What do i do now? What happens if I reject her request? What happens if I stand up from here and walk away?... I'm sure Cynthia won't forgive me for this. She has always been there for me. She supports me and my family all round, especially financially. Saying no to her would hurt her so badly but… but she is asking for something difficult. God! Help me! I'm confused.'

As all these thoughts ran through Sophia's head, she teared up while Cynthia continued to wait impatiently to hear what Sophia's had to say and when she noticed Sophia's tears, still seated, she adjusted a bit, held Sophia's hands as she tried to stop Sophia from crying.

Sophia couldn't speak any more. All she did was shed tears, non-stop.

Sophia noticed Cynthia now seated beside her, she wiped her tears with her palm but that didn't stop the tears from pouring. She took a deep sigh then said;

"I'm doing this for you, sister."

Said Sophia as she gave Cynthia a passionate hug.

Cynthia, hearing Sophia's Words, asked.

"Is that a yes to my request?" She asked and Sophia replied;

"Yes, sister. You have always been there for me so granting your request is nothing but even if it's difficult, I'll do it." Sophia said as she continued to cry.

Cynthia was so very excited to hear Sophia's response and since it was a positive one, she was so overwhelmed.

With so much excitement, Cynthia spoke.

"Really? You mean you have accepted?" She asked.

Sophia looked at her face and shook her head. Signifying a yes before she stuttered a smile. It was hard though but she needed to.

Cynthia, seeing and understanding Sophia's response, jumped in excitement as she stood and jumped out of the sofa and because of how happy she was, she joyfully drew Sophia out of the sofa, making her stand as well before she finally gave her a hug for the third time and letting out a smile that was filled with greed.

"Yes! Yes!``said Cynthia with her selfish motive written all over her and after a while, she spoke again.

"Thank you sister." Cynthia said with a smile on her face as Sophia never stopped stuttering a smile back at her.

"You're welcome sister." Sophia replied and smiled again at Cynthia.

Those smiles were filled with pain but what could she do when she had no choice?

After a while, the two girls had fun by playing games and saying some jokes to each other but Sophia's mind never stopped thinking about the destructive decision she had made.

She already agreed to it so there was nothing she would do that would change the hands of time.

As the clock continued to tick, evening was getting near and Sophia needed to go back home before her parents would start getting worried about her whereabouts.

Sophia was already prepared and ready to leave.

"I'll drop you. Wait… let me go and dress up because after dropping You, on my way back home, I'll be going to see a friend."

Said Cynthia as she quickly rushed towards her dressing room to freshen up and after she was done, she walked to meet with Sophia where she had stood waiting for her as they both walked towards the compound.

Reaching there, Cynthia walked towards one of her Lamborghini and Sophia followed and after a short period, the car accelerated.
