Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

I am ecstatic that Karl agreed to play the coin game after initially being apprehensive. I was certain that I would triumph. He however told me he didn’t have a coin in the house and I told him not to worry about it. I guess he agreed because since he didn’t have a coin, he assumed I wouldn’t have any either and we wouldn’t have to play.

To his amazement I rushed to my bag to find where I had kept it.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Growing up, I used to play the game of coin for everything with my neighbours, who were also my best friends at the time. We would play it every time to see who could won at anything we couldn’t seem to agree on.

We played the game of coin all the time as kids, from determining who gets to choose where we go for lunch to competing against each other and anytime there was something worth fighting over. Even though I was no longer a kid, the thrill and excitement this simple game brought me still remain timeless.

” Found it!!” I exclaimed as I found where i had kept the coin after searching for it for a while. Karl looked at me wondering what I was trying to do.

“Heads or tails,” I replied as I took the coin out of my bag and examined it intently. Karl was stunned by my actions and stared at me in bewilderment.

I knew he was amazed that I carried a coin about and he did not hide his amazement.

” Who goes about with a coin in their bag?” He mouthed and chuckled lightly, making fun of me. I didn’t laugh because I didn’t find it funny. I didn’t get offended either, I was sure I was damn going to win no matter what and I would have the last laugh.

I ignored him and stretched the coin for him to choose. He glared at me then at the coin with his hand probably thinking of what to chose.

“Make your choice.” I said getting rather impatient with his delay in making his choice and he reluctantly chose tails.

“Watch me win, baby,” I confidently declared as I tossed the coin into the air.

” Baby!!!” I heard Karl mutter but I pretended not to hear him. I didn’t know why I called him baby and I guess I was carried away with the moment.

To Karl’s surprise, it landed on heads – my choice. I noticed the look on his face, he has expected he would win, but was utterly dissapointed.

“I won! CEO Karl, look at me now!” The laughter bubbled out of me uncontrollably while Karl’s face turned sour with defeat.

But instead of accepting his loss gracefully, he accused me of cheating and insisted on having another round with him doing the tossing.

” Let’s have another round and this time, I do the tossing.” he said and I reluntantly agreed, even though I wasn’t comfortable with playing again since I had won the first time, I decided to play agsin proving to Karl I had won the game fairly.

With a mischievous smile playing on my lips, I handed him the coin and prepared myself for yet another victory.

As Karl reluctantly took the coin from me, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. This time, It was my turn to choose heads or tails. The anticipation in the room was palpable as he waited for me to make my decision.

“Alright, Sophie it’s your turn now. Make your choice.” He said as I handed him the shiny nickel. It gleamed brightly under the light, and memories came flooding back when I used to gather around during the holidays with my friends, having countless rounds against one another. When everything was still so simple.

Yet, knowing how stubbornly competitive both Karl and myself were, I knew deep down within, betrayed by composure, I wanted nothing but yet another triumph.

Karl looked hesitated. But soon enough, a mischievous smile formed across his face as I confidently chose heads. I wasnt sure what his plan was, but I was sure going to win yet again. I guess he was maybe thinking about avenging his loss, or simply hoping history wasn’t going to repeat itself.

With anticipation hanging heavy in mid-air, he threw up high, and as the coin soared through the air, my heart raced with anticipation. I watched as it spun, reflecting the flickering light above. The room seemed to hold its breath in that moment, every eye fixated on the descending coin.

“Would history repeat itself? Or would Karl break my winning streak?” I asked myself as I hoped history repeated itself and I would win again the second time in a row.

As gravity finally took hold, the coin landed with a soft thud on the ground. And to my surprise, it landed on head – my choice again.

The room erupted in cheers and laughter as I couldn’t contain my excitement. I laughed uncontrollably as I had defeated him yet again.

My victory was met with uproarious applause as I clapped and dance around. I couldn’t help but revel in my triumph.

I smiled graciously and picked up a pillow. I laughed as I extended my hand to Karl handing him the pillow and motioning for him to leave the room and head to the couch where he would pass the night. He looked at me seemingly annoyed but I didn’t care, I had won and that was what mattered.

Annoyed by all that had happened he left reluctantly and headed out to pass the night at the couch.

” I am sure going to win next time.” He said as he left the room and I laughed mocking him for his loss which seemed to have motivated to come back stronger. I didn’t care about anything. I laughed heartily as I watched him go.

” Such a lovely bed.” I remarked as I dropped into the bed, turning and spreading my legs; my bed was not as big, roomy, or comfortable as this, and I was delighted to have it all to myself.

I quickly fell asleep, and the sound of the knock on the door woke me up.

“Who was it?” I asked spurring on the bed and soon heard Davis calling for his father.

” Dad!!!” I heard him call out and I got up to answer the door.
