★( A FLASH OF THE PAST) ★
The following morning, Axton sits in room, smoking as usual.
Sophia enters the room.
“You sent for me boss”. Her tender voice said, as she crimps her hands.
And mere looking at her, you could tell she was so scared right now.
Her heart sanked when she was told that the boss wanted to speak to her.
And many negative thoughts runs through her mind.
*What if he wants to ki||, or what if he wants to take her to torture room and whip her just like he ordered Megan to be whipped.
And not hearing from her friend gave her so many thoughts about dieing.
Axton looks at her and he could see her legs shaking.
“Stand straight, am not going to bite you”. His voice said and Sophia quickly stand upright, but still her heart beat could be heared, with every seconds that passes.
“Your name is Sophia”.
“Ye…yes”. Sophia stuttered.
Axton nods his head.
“Where did you come from”. He asked again, and Sophia wondered why he was curious to know about her.
“From San Francisco”.
“So you both are from San Francisco”. He asked.
“You mean Megan and I”.
“So her name is Megan”.
“Yes boss, Megan Santos”. Sophia answers, taking in her lips.
“So you both grew up together”.
“Not exactly, I and Megan met two years ago and since we were both orphans, we became comfortable with each other”.
“What happened to Megan’s parents”.
“I don’t know much about Megan’s mom, but her dad was murdered, that’s was she told me”. Sophia said.
“And you”. Axton asked looking at her.
“Huh”.
“What happened to your parents”.
Sophia takes in her lips.
“I don’t remember much about what happened to them, I just found myself in the streets”.
“Not even a single memory about them”. Axton asked looking at her.
And Sophia nods sadly.
Axton sighs.
“You can leave”. He said.
Sophia bows and leaves.
“Lennox”. He calls, and Lennox rushed in.
“Yes boss”. He answers bowing.
“Get me Freya”.
“Did something happen”. He asked.
And the way Axton glared at him, made him leave without further question.
In just a few minutes, Freya was already in Axton’s suite, wondering why the boss himself wants to see her.
This has never happened before even in history, so it was a big shock to her.
“Good morning boss”.
Axton Puffs out his smokes, more like an answer to her greeting.
“Take in Megan as your roommate”.
Freya arch her eyebrows.
“Whose Megan Boss”.
“The one all of you call Ms feisty girl”.
And Freya frowns.
“Why Boss, she’s not a member of the clan, so why will she share a room with me, you took her friend to the maid’s quarters right, you should also do the same with her too”. Freya said.
The fact that Ace admires Megan made her h@ťě Megan already.
Axton looks at her with his usual stony face.
“Are you contented with life”.
Freya gulps down her spit hard.
“No Boss”. Freya answers as goosebumps forms in her skin.
“Then do exactly as I have said, if you want to continue breathing”. Axton said with a deep scary voice.
“Yes boss”. Freya said.
She bows and quickly leaves.
“So her name is Megan, no wonder she’s so stubborn”. Axton said puffing out the smokes from his cigarette.
His mind went back to Sophia and he sighs.
“She’s looks familiar, where have I seen her”. Axton muttered.

FREYA’S ROOM***
Freya enters her room with Megan, who was looking around the room.
The pains she was feeling from her bruise got lesser thanks to Axton who treated her.
Megan looks around the room, it was all Pink.
Her favorite color.
She smiles and face Freya.
“Are you a fan of Barbie, is that why your room is all Pink”.
Freya frowns.
“Am also a….”
“Just shut up Megan, am not a fan of that stupid cartoon, do I look 9 or 10 years old to you….pinks just happened to be my favorite color”. Freya said.
Megan smiles.
“I guess we’re destined to be friends, pink is also my favourite colour”.
Freya Scoffs.
“Friends my foots, you and I are no friends Megan and is always going to stay that way….am only agreeing to share my room with a slump girl like you because the order came from the boss….so if you don’t want to get on bad side, stay far away from me, if am at the right, just be at the left”.
“Fine I’ll”. Megan muttered.
“And one more thing, don’t go anywhere close to my stuffs, I h@ťě it when people touch what belongs to me, and am going to ki|| you if you try that”. Freya ranted.
Megan looks at her.
“Have we met before, why’re you acting like we are enemies, your not the only one with the running mouth okay, and about your stuffs, don’t worry about me going close to it, cos it sucks and won’t attract me”.
“What!”.
“Am sure you ain’t deaf….you keep stating your orders like your the boss’s wife, when your just a common mobster here, if you don’t want to be friends with me, I too don’t want to be friends with an ugly duckling like you either”. Megan fires.
Freya’s jaw dropped.
“What….ugly….duckling….I”.
“Yes you….and the guy whose going to like you must really have the eyes of a bat”.
“Hey!!, Your crossing the line!!”. Freya yells.
“You cross the line first, if you didn’t pose to be an annoying Ɓîtçh, I’ll have kept my running mouth to myself, if you think am a weakling girl who you can step on, then your wrong, try me, and am going to plunk off those big eyes of yours”. Megan said.
And Freya looks at her speechlessly.
If she could talk to the boss anyhow she wanted, who then was she, Freya thoughts looking at Megan who was now comfortably sitting in the bed, with her legs folded against the other.
Freya concluded that Megan wasn’t an easy nut to crack and with that she left the room.
Megan scoffs.
“She thinks she’s the only one that has the mouth to talk, stubborn + badmouthing, that’s me….Megan Santos…..but wait, how did she know my name”. Megan asked herself, with her eyes rolling left and right.
Sophia.
Her inner mind said, and Megan sighs.
“I guess she was the one who might have told them, I have to find a way to leave this place, this isn’t the kind of place for innocent Sophia”.
“I wonder how she’s doing”. Megan muttered looking worried.
