Family secret
EPISODE 7
Written by Rukevwe merry
Henry and Sophia’s relationship was blossoming. Sophia is still studying at the university and would often visit Henry on weekends, spending the entire weekend with him. As they spent more time together, they got to know each other better.
One weekend, as Sophia was on her way to Henry’s place from school, she saw someone who looked like Henry holding a girl on the road. She waved from the cab she is, but henry didn’t wave back, and she thought it was strange. Unknown to Sophia, the person she saw was actually Harry, not Henry.
When Sophia arrived at Henry’s home, she was surprised to see him there, looking different in jeans. “He rushed back to change,” she thought to herself.
Henry, noticing Sophia’s gaze, ran to meet her. “Welcome, baby! I’ve missed you so much,” he said.
Sophia was skeptical. “Missed who? I saw you not too long ago holding a woman so tightly,” she said, her tone laced with suspicion.
Henry laughed. “The only women I hold tight are you and my mom. And my mom isn’t here, she’s far away in the East,” he explained.
Sophia pressed on. “I saw you on the road not too long ago. Are you trying to make me look like a f**l?”
Henry held up his hands. “Please, I’m not ready for this stress. I had a busy day today. Come inside, let me carry your bags.”
Sophia huffed and went inside, while Henry carried her bags into the room.
“I’m very hungry, please kindly prepare something for me to eat,” Henry asked Sophia.
“I’m tired,” Sophia said.
“Let’s go get something to eat outside, please,” Sophia suggested.
“Never mind, I will manage,”
Henry replied.
Henry went to the kitchen to cook noodles. After cooking, he set the table for himself and Sophia.
They both ate and enjoyed themselves. Sophia left the dining table before Henry, who was still eating.
Sophia went to the room and picked up Henry’s phone that was on the bed. She decided to check his message, WhatsApp chats, and all social media chat and calls to see if Henry is cheating on her, but she found nothing.
But as she was about to check the gallery, Henry came in. Out of shock, the phone fell off her hand, and the screen got destroyed.
“What have you done?” Henry shouted at Sophia.
“I’m sorry, it’s a mistake,” Sophia said. “I was just checking to know if you were cheating on me, that’s why.”
“Why would I cheat on you?” Henry asked. “You are enough for me, and I love you for who you are.”
“I’m sorry,” Sophia said. “I love you too, that’s why I’m feeling insecure.” “Tomorrow, I will go fix your phone, I promise,” Sophia said.
Henry came close, picked up the phone from the floor, and kept it on the table in the room.
He held Sophia close and said, “I love you so much, I love you. So stop being insecure.”
Sophia nodded her head.
Henry kissed her on her forehead, while Sophia closed her eyes. Then, Henry kissed her on her lips.
Henry swept Sophia off her feet, cradling her in his arms as he carried her to bed. He laid her down gently, his eyes locked on hers, filled with adoration. “I promise, Sophia, I will never leave you. I will love you forever,” he whispered. Their lips met in a tender kiss, and they made love with a depth of passion that only grew stronger.
The next morning, Sophia slipped out of bed before Henry woke up, taking his phone to the repair shop. As she waited for the repair, she sat in a chair, pressing her phone. Suddenly, a familiar figure walked by β Harry. Their eyes met, and Sophia’s mind raced. “Is my eyes paining me? Henry just passed me here, and he’s acting like he didn’t see me,” she thought. Harry seemed to ignore her, but a few moments later, harry asked another worker for the sales book, saying, “I want to check something.” The worker replied, “Yes, boss.” Sophia’s eyes widened in shock. Why was everyone calling Henry “boss”?
As Sophia thought in her mind, the repairer handed her the phone. She paid and left, still seeing Henry chatting with a customer. She entered a cab back to Henry’s house, only to find Henry still sleeping in bed, in the same state she had left him. She rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her vision, wondering if she was seeing double.
