When they reached Sophia's house, joseph parked his car outside and they both of them went inside.
Sophia went into her room to change while joseph was in the parlor waiting for her. When she came out, she got into the kitchen and dished out food for the both of them.
Joseph loved her cooking as always. He ate and asked for more. Sophia kept smiling at him and served him more to his satisfaction.
When they were done eating, Sophia took the plates to the kitchen and washed them. She came back after she was done, joseph was watching a movie on the TV.
She laid down on his legs and watched the movie too.
"Have you been fine these days?" joseph asked touching her braided hair.
"Yes dear and I know it's the same for you. You look so handsome." She said and giggled. Joseph chuckled at her cuteness.
At a moment, he felt hurt. How could he hurt this sweet soul? He needed to stop this rubbish with Favour and tell Sophia the truth.
"Babe?" he called.
"Hmm"
"What if I hurt you so badly, would you forgive me?
"Have you done something bad that will hurt me?
"Uhm, nope. Just asking."
"Okay."
He sighed inwardly; he just couldn't tell her. While he was still in deep thoughts, he phone pinged.
"Speak of the devil," he said to himself.
"Are you saying something," Sophia asked when she felt she heard a murmur.
"No love. Continue watching." "I have some work here to do?"
"Okay."
["Hey boo. Where are you? I need you so badly right now."]
He read the text and replied; ["I am with Sophia right now and cannot leave. We will see later when I leave here."]
["What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I should wait till you're done with her? No way. It's either you come see me or I'll send her the video."]
["Are you really threatening me right now"]
["Are you coming or not"]
["Fine I am."]
He dropped the phone and held his head. Sophia looked up and saw his frustration.
"Is there a problem?" she asked touching his arm lovingly.
"Uhm not really. Just some important work I need to do at home."
"Can't you do it here?"
"I'm not with everything I need so I'll have to leave. I am so sorry, my love. I promise to make it up to you." He kissed her goodbye and left in a hurry.
Sophia sighed and went up to her room sadly. It was already late though.

Joseph rushed to Favour's house and parked his car outside. He knocked at the door several times before she came to open the door.
"What took you so long?" he asked angrily.
"Aren't you at least happy to see me?"
He snorted and entered the house. It was dim and had a romantic atmosphere but he didn't have time for all this.
"What's the problem? "Why did you call me here?"
Favour walked up to him sexily and touched his chest. She picked up a drink from table that was near and handed it to him.
"I wouldn't be a fool the second time."
Favour laughed and understood what he meant. He thought she had drugged him again.
"Can you at least sit down?" she begged.
Joseph gave her a suspicious look and sat down on the couch. Immediately he sat on the couch, she sat on his laps. She was also wearing a short and revealing night gown so it went up and showed her skin when she was on his laps.
"You like it right? She said seductively and running her fingers on his face.
Joseph gulped hard. Well, he was moved by her actions. He was a man and he had needs. Sophia had never done this neither had they slept together before.
"What are you waiting for? "Touch me already."
Joseph pushed her away and stood up. "Favour, I'm really sorry but I can't do this."
She scoffed and picked up a glass of wine. She drank it all and dropped the glass back.
"You think Sophia really loves you? Has she ever given you her body before? Anytime you ask for it, she rejects you immediately right?
Joseph was shocked. "How do you know that?"
"I'm her friend and she tells me everything. She said she is just after your money. You will never touch her and she's cheating on you too."
"What the fuck?" joseph screamed and cursed. "You better not be lying, Favour."
"Why would I lie? You know Fred, the guy she delivers clothes to? Yes, she sleeps with him. She sleeps with many others but Fred is her main guy." Favour continued lying to joseph. Trying everything possible to taint Sophia's image.
Joseph felt his blood boiling and his head was on fire. "Was all these true?"
Immediately, he started remembering things that had happened in the past. He remember when he was so horny and asked Sophia for sex but she didn't agree. Instead she told him to take a cold bath and sleep.
Another time was when he was drugged at a birthday party of a friend, he rushed over to Sophia's house to relieve himself. He didn't want to cheat; but when he got there, Sophia took him to the hospital instead.
All these events ran through his head and he sat on the floor. "Did Sophia really love him or was she after his money. Was she sleeping with Fred? Is he even her main boyfriend?"
Favour saw that he was starting to suspect so she took that opportunity and touch him. Joseph now believed that Sophia was cheating on him so he responded to Favour's touch and they slept together again.
