Chapter 19
Damian's POV
After I left Erica ward at the clinic, I drove down to the female hostel and found out that Sophia was not there. I reached for my phone to call her to find out where she was.
"hello" I said
"hello sweetheart" she answered
teasing, making me feel a bit irritated.
"Where are you?" I said, trying to let my annoyance show in my voice.
"I'm in your apartment" she answered, I quickly did a brain scan to check if by accident I have ever given her keys to my apartment. She is not suppose to have access.
I have only recently changed all the keys to my apartment. But been that its Sophia I'm dealing with I can as well expect the unexpected.
"What are you doing in my apartment Sophia? but I thought you were suppose to...."
I stopped myself halfway knowing fully well that I will never win any argument with her.
"anyway I am coming over" I ended the call not liking the fact Erica might be there all by herself.
I entered my car and drove down to my apartment. when I got there, I saw her waiting in her red sport car my Dad recently just bought for her.
I took a deep breath as I came down from my car and walked towards her car, which she opened for me to come in.
"How is my sweetheart doing?" she asked looking all glamorous in her red sleeveless jumpsuit, her makeup was nicely done, she was looking very beautiful and a bit over dressed for the occasion I think.
"I thought you were coming to see Erica, your roommate in the clinic" I asked trying to know what she has up her sleeves. She looked at me and smiled.
"What's the rush? that's why I called you out here. We need to talk" she said her tune a bit more serious now.
"What are we talking about Sophia? I asked, hoping its not one of her old songs of wanting us to date.
"I have been hearing rumors of some sorts, that you are having an affair with my room mate"
she said trying to search my eyes for answers. She must have heard from one of the guards I suppose, Sophia has her ears and nose everywhere.
"Sophia, its no rumor, I think I'm in love with Erica" I said, not ready to mince or sugarcoat my words. I saw her eyes rid itself of the sparkle that was once there.
"So you decided to have a Fling with my roommate and thought I will not find out." She said trying to hid the fact that she was hurting
"I was not hiding it from you. I was just looking for the right time to tell you about her" and perhaps I don't get to know all the guys you go out with, so why should mine be an exception?"
I said with a bit of harshness in my voice. I do hear of her sexcapades but I don't make it my business.
"But I don't go round fucking your friends" she said unable to control her annoyance. I looked at her surprised at the slutty voice she used in saying those words.
If some other girl had said the same words, it probably would have given me a hard on. and I would have ensured I fucked the hole of a mouth till gulps on my c0ck. but hearing it from Sophia was just a big turn off.
"You are no friend of hers, you guys are just room mates and what if she was your friend? I would still not need your permission to date her." I said getting irritated by her audacity.
"So what happens to us now"she asked, avoiding my eyes.
"I don't understand, what do you mean us?" I questioned
"Damian you seem to have forgotten what we shared" then suddenly, I knew where she was coming from.
"Sophia, I told you nothing can ever happen between the both of us, I am not even attracted to you. Whatever happened was a mistake" I said taking each word slowly so its sinks into her dumb skull.
"So you mean fucking me when you were drunk was a mistake Damian?"
she said and paused maybe waiting for the words to sink in or something, after sometime she continued.
"you love me and you need to start letting your emotions take charge, people often say that a man true intentions are know when he is drunk" she said looking at me perhaps to agree with her.
just imagine someone trying to convince you about a feeling they think you have, and you suddenly just feel pity for them. You can't force these things people.
"You are right, I wont deny the fact that I find you attractive and very sexy, perhaps that was the part of my fantasy that showed up that night. I said with a cocky smirked. I noticed she was getting all reddish from anger.
"Sophia look" I said trying to be a gentleman. "you are beautiful and amazing in your own way. I am sure you will meet someone who loves and adores you, but I would never in my right mind have sex with you or force myself on you because I am not that into you" I said to her and watched as she closed her eyes and taps on her wheels. She looked as if she was fighting within herself and after some time she let out a sigh.
"I have a request to ask" she said after what feels like a billion centuries after.
"Yes what is?" I asked
"For me to be sure that you don't love me, you will have to pretend to be my lover for the rest of the session" she said with a straight face.
"How can I pretend to be your lover? I'm your step brother. I think that counts as an abomination" I said hoping it puts her off.
"Technically we are not related by blood Damian. If you convince me, I will let go and be with anybody you choose but, if you don't convince me, I will tell anyone who care to listen, starting from your Dad and the little girlfriend of yours on how you raped me"
I looked at Sophia unable to believe what she is saying.
"are you blackmailing me? I asked laughing, so you think your cheap blackmail will make me do your biddings? Sorry sister you need to try harder than this.
" That's not all, Damian, I will also say that my roommate found out about the affair and was threatening to tell everyone so we both conspired to kill her."
Holy fuck!
Now I must confess, I did not see that coming. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I have never really seen this side of her. I use to see her like one pretty fragile sick lady, not this venomous she devil.
"did you have anything to do with what happened to Erica?" Did you?
I asked still in shock, She looked at me and let out a wicked laugh.
" I just said we both planned to kill her so what do you think?" She said, her words like poison to my ears.
I knew Sophia was capable of many things but I never knew she was capable of blackmail and murder.
"I will be moving into your room this evening, so that means your boyfriend duties starts now" With that she starts the car and drove us to the school clinic, after which She stopped the car at the parking lot.
"I will only agree to this sick plan of yours on a condition that you stay away from Erica, because, if I see as little an insect sting on Erica's skin, I will come for you and all that you hold dear"
I said as I got down from the car and absent mindedly started walking into the clinic. She walked beside me taking my hand in hers as she flashes her smile to anyone who care to notice us.
when we got to the ward Erica was, I watched helplessly as her demeanor changed, she looked hurt, I wished I could explain to her that things were not as they seem, only if I had the power of a werewolf, I could have explained everything to her through the power of the mind link.
Hmm, werewolf stories thinking of it now! I have never liked those werewolf gibberish, I mean who needs just one destined mate when you can have millions Falling at your feet.
Damien snap out of your thoughts, there is a real life problem to solve.
Only if she had told me Sophia was the one that attacked her, suddenly I started thinking of all the missing link, what Lucas had said previously about the possibility of Sophia been the one that attacked Erica.
"Please can you help me get the student doctor" Erica voice breaking through my thoughts, I also noticed she was trying to be formal with me. I instantly started walking outside, before Sophia could stop me.
I got outside and sat on a vacant chair for a few second, thinking about all that was happening.
"Damian what are you doing here" I heard Lucas say, I contemplated on whether to tell him or not but I knew I had to tell someone.
"Are you alright?" He asked his face suddenly filled with concern.
"Can we go to your office" I managed to ask.
"No Beatrice is in there, come this way" he said. As he takes me to a private section of the clinic I never knew existed.
"What's up" he asked.
"Sophia is blackmailing me for rape her and also for the attempted murder of Erica" I said and that took Lucas by surprise.
"I don't understand? Rape? Where is that coming from?He asked puzzled.
"Did you sleep with her?"
I let out a deep sign and narrated what took place that unfortunate night to him. Right from drinking from the mug cup to not remembering anything else till waking up the next morning to find both of us naked on the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me" he asked.
"Because I was too embarrassed to even talk about" I said avoiding his detective gazed.
"And the attempt on Erica, Did you do it?" He asked Still looking at me
"hell no!" I answered feeling irritated that he would even ask me such absurd question, or maybe I deserved it. I actually slept with my step sister so maybe I am also capable of murder.
classic!
"she can't just accused you of something that we are yet to find out who did unless of cause she knows who did or maybe she did herself" Lucas said looking at me for confirmation, I nodded yes.
"omg!! Unbelievable, I mean, I know I had my doubt's about her but to actually know she did it is a different ball game" he said hysterically.
"She is moving in with me this evening" I said.
"what the fuck?What about Erica?"
"I don't know what to do I am seriously in a dilemma"
"Where is she now" he asked.
"She is with Erica" I answered
"what!? You left them together?" He asked. I suddenly remembered leaving them together
"I will go get Beatrice just go and stay with them, can't have a murder case on my watch"
He said as he hurries off, as I too started walking towards the ward Erica was in,
I stopped at the door and was scared to open it, I didn't know what to expect as Lucas and Beatrice soon joined me at the door.
I opened the door with with a trembling hand and saw both ladies talking, it appeared everything was normal, and before I could think of a way to be left alone talk with Erica,
Sophia took hold of my hands again, and was bidding farewell to Erica, I had to follow her unwillingly.
I got outside and removed my hands from her grip, "you can go I will meet up with you" I said irritated and angry.
she just laughed and said "it does not work like that darling I call the shots in this relationship, So get into the car let's go get my stuffs from my room"
"Don't push your luck Sophia, I will be right behind you, when I am done." I said as I walked out on her to go and see Lucas.
