Sofia was the never one to believe in miracles.

Well that was until today. Three hours had passed since everything that happened, Dimitri’s arrest as the everything in context. And as she sat there, she kept replaying it all behind her eyes. She was wrapped with a blanket and Theo and Damien were right beside her.

Of course they knew now of what had happened to Oscar and how Annie had dived in front of a bullet to save Sofia, falling off the building in the process. They were just as shocked as the person who unfortunately had to witness it all. It was no wonder she stayed quiet for those three hours, reeling in the aftershock and post trauma.

However, the silence had to come to an end as the doctor came out of the room just then. She stood with aching feet, feeling like she’d always spent weeks in these particular hallway. Her lips parted but her eyes said the most words as the doctor heaved a sigh.

“It was a success. You can go in now” The doctor broke the news and in that moment,

    SIX MONTHS LATER.The sun was out on this chill Saturday evening and the winds filled the trees around the magnificent canopies. There were flowers of every kind and colors and balloons scattered across the garden fields. Everyone was seated with their eyes turned to the couple, the main reason they were here in the first place.“Theodore Baron and Victoria Freya Winters” The officiator called both their names and it was hard for a tear not to well in Sofia’s eyes in that moment. Her sister looked beautiful in that flowing white dress and it was exactly how they’d both envisioned everything since they were kids.Including her as her maid of honor and the same could be said about Theo who by his right hand side had Oscar beside him as well.

    FIVE YEARS LATER.“Aunt Annie!” A child’s scream reverberated through the halls before a little girl of about five years scurried into the room in a bright yellow dress and the first thing she did was embrace Ann who was waiting with her usual open arms.“How are you, Mia?!” She lifted the girl into her arms, adorning her flustered face with kisses. “Where is your mommy?” And just as she asked that question, Sofia scurried right after, Oscar by her right hand. “Have you got the keys?” She asked, panting from her lips and looking around the room perhaps for anything they might’ve been forgetting. But just for a brisk moment, Oscar reached out to her hands.“You look beautiful.” He didn’t fail to compliment her whenever she did, in the last five years at that. Oh how time flies, truly. And to say a lot had changed would be a massive understatement but then again, not so much, I mean Oscar and Sofia were still so madly in love with each other.“Mommy, aren’t we running late?” Mia called

    On a chilly evening, Sofia Winters stood right next to her fiance at the foot of the five-star hotel. She was dressed in a black rosette gown and the winds rustled through her soft brunette hair. She heaved in a deep breath but you could see in her pale face just how nervous she was. However, she looked to the man beside her, Damien and summoned enough courage to whisper to him—"Everything is going to be fine"Tonight was the first time Damien was to meet his father-in-law and the rest of the family, hoping to secure their blessings. His hands fell around her waist and she turned to adjust his suit jacket. Holding up her chin, he leaned in for a kiss and her hands pushed the door open behind her."My father can be scary." She said."But I bet he's going to like you just as much as I do" Her voice fell into a whisper and he smirked. "That's weird" He croaked in response before they made their way through the doors.Sofia had no idea when her life began to fall apart, but if she was to

    The next morning came faster than light and as Sofia made her way down the stairs, she could hear murmurs echo from the living room. She met her mother's eyes at a distance from her but Theresa seemed to be at unease before she disappeared into the kitchen.Arching her brows, Sof took her last step and just then her father called unto her. "Sofia" He raised his hands in the air and she shot him a glare. Little did he realize that she had not forgotten what a disaster last night was.She sauntered into the living room, but only because of the last shred of respect she had for him. "I would love you to meet someone" Ferdinand stood and across from him was a middle aged bald man with a protruding stomach like that of two people.Her eyes went down on him and he twirled his bushy moustache with his hands. "This is Mr Henderson, i'm pretty sure you recognize him as my friend. He used to come around alot often when you were a kid." Of course, she did recognize him. She was scarred to this d

    TEN YEARS AGO.A plump pale girl pushed in through the doors of her classroom with her books in her hands. She made her way down to the only available seat which was next to this one boy she had an immense crush on since elementary school.A smile crept to the corner of her lips, flashing a glimpse of the braces that caged her teeth. But when she was about to sit, her chair was pulled backwards from beneath her and instead, she fell across the ground next to her books.“Haha. Fatty Satty!” Came the chuckles from her classmates that followed right after and she lifted her eyes to the jeering lips and the pointing fingers, knowing it wasn’t the first time this happened. A girl her size usually fell prey to these teenage bullies and she lifted her eyes with a large pair of glasses perched upon her nose. She looked through all the faces that laughed at her until her eyes settled on the one face that didn’t.And that was the one boy right next to her—the one who had struck out his hands fo

    With a few hours still left on the journey, Mr Baron alongside his newly engaged fiancé decided to spend the night at a five-star hotel to recuperate before continuing the next day. Sliding his key card over the door, he pushed it open and Sofia was the first person to make her way in, lifting her gaze to look around the room. A brittle sigh escaped her lips as Oscar closed the door behind the both of them. There was a brief silence to occur the moment their eyes settled on the one bed in the center of the room that they were to share.And clearing his throat, he walked past her."You could take the bed, i have to stay up either way" He said as if knowing exactly what she thought and Sofia pushed a lump down her throat. "I couldn't" She brought her eyes to look at him and whilst he clenched the edge of he table, he turned to his side."We're adults and we're about to get married which is the most intrusive thing one could think of in this moment so sharing a bed compared to that is n

    Her soft tender lips grazed the side of his cheeks as she let her hands fall between his thick thighs. He had a laptop across his legs but she somehow managed to wriggle her way through his underpants to wrap her fingers around his cock.“When are you going to get off work?” She whispered into his ears and it was Damien that pulled away from Emma. She fell to the bed with a sigh, wrapping her black lingerie over her exposed shoulders. She lifted her gaze to Damien who backed her. Placing his device to the table, he heaved a deep breath.“What is wrong with you?” Frustratedly, his mistress raised her voice. “What is wrong with us—are you mad at me?” She asked, folding her hands and she sat at the edge of the bed.“No, Emma i’m not mad at you” He gritted through his teeth.“So why haven’t you said a word since yesterday, you’ve barely even looked at me. I was hoping things would be better now that Sofia is out of our lives but somehow it’s gotten worse. Somehow you resent me as if you we

    “We can’t let her leave” Dimitri muttered to David, whose name Sofia had only just come to know. The two of them were at a safe distance but she could hear the murmurs from their lips. They stood at the foot of the door so her only likely escape was jumping down down the five foot building and she couldn’t dare to scream because Dimitri had already assured her his non reluctance to shoot if she tried anything funny.And so she stood there, with her fingers intertwined with each other, playing it off as though she wasn’t genuinely scared for her life. Her skin was pale and her face was flushed off every color. A million thoughts ravaged her head, most especially the ones about how she could escape.She wondered how unfortunate it was that she’d walked into yet another predicament but in that moment, half the thoughts that roamed behind her eyes were about Oscar. And each time she stared at Dimitri, she was so full of vengeance that she wanted to pay him back for what he’d done.Howeve

    As Sofia stood there, she couldn’t even utter a single word. Her whole mind raced with a thousand thoughts as the chaos behind the curtains echoed back to her. Her eyes were flooded with tears and there was a shooting pain that pierced up her spine.In a moment, her eyes fell to her open hands and he was all she saw. It was as though she had drifted back to the moment that she held unto him, begging him to open his eyes…to wake up. But the hardest part was she wasn’t even certain that he could hear her. She wasn’t certain that he would ever actually open those eyes again. And hers, well they darted to the piece of sandwich that laid capriciously on the hospital floor and before she could even start blaming herself for leaving, something she would have never done if she knew things would turn out this way. And for what, for food.Before she could blame herself or further immense herself into the guilt, an arm drew her back. “Hey hey” That shrill rang into her ears and Sofia had to ac

    There was always something so terrifying about nightmares. Especially for Oscar and so that was why when he plunged his eyes open, only to find out that he was surrounded by an impaling darkness, the first thing he did was scream at the top of his lungs.The atmosphere was cold, sending a chill up his spine so much that he shivered. The hollow halls returned an echo of his voice as well and he was too afraid to move even an inch forward. He hated the darkness, he wasn’t scared or, although there was something quite eerie in the air.He just hated being lost and in that moment, he was.But that was until a shrill whisper crept up behind him and Oscar sharply turned around. He could swear that someone was here, was close to him but alas, when he threw his head over his shoulders, there was no one. Maybe now was the right time to get scared.His hands fell to his side, feeling the crisp texture of his scrubs and as he moved forward, the noises were all he heard. It was hard to move with

    “It’s been four hours” A voice echoed from behind Sofia and it wasn’t until she turned around that her eyes fell upon Damien. His hands slipped into his pocket with an elongated gaze right next to her. She threw a look over her shoulders though she still clung to the stairwell.“It’s you” She happened to mutter plainly before he raised his hands into the air. “Well I’m no doctor,” Damien teased. “But I brought you a sandwich and a cup of coffee” He stretched out his hands and while her eyes to it, there was the ghost of a smile that made it across her lips.“I’m not hungry” Sofia heaved but by the look in Damien’s eyes, she didn’t have much of an option but to cave in, taking the food from his hands. Though she sipped the coffee, she kept the sandwich aside and for a brief moment, there were comforted by the shrouded silence between them. That was before Sofia suddenly piped up after a few minutes.“Thank you by the way” She said.Damien folded his arms with a shrill nod. “For this as

It had even a really long time since we last saw him, rock bottom and fresh out of jail all while being handed divorce papers from his long term partner but just like everyone else, a lot had changed for him.And even more had come into perspective, like realizing how bad he’d been through the years, to Theresa, to Freya and then to Sofia. And now that he was all alone, he wanted nothing more than to finally tender his apology to those who he had hurt.But the fear that it might have been too late plagued Ferdinand, causing a few sleepless nights. There was no way he would have survived without Damien, who had come to the house to pick up some things and Ferdinand had told him everything that had happened.Damien didn’t have to do all of that including showing up at least twice a week but he did. He did because for him as well, everything had changed. Luckily, even as things weren’t as bad as they once was, he didn

    The chilly rush of air breezed into Sofia’s face and through her hair, swaying it left and right across her shoulders. In case she drifted so far, the distinct scent of pharmaceuticals and the rapid beeping of the heart monitors both far and near were enough to remind her of where she was.She stood with her arms crossed in front of her, reminding herself by taking deep heavy breaths to calm down. Today was the day of Oscar’s first surgery which was a bypass graft procedure undoubtedly the most important and complex of the three he was recommended.The doctor might’ve said a million words to Sofia about how this was to repair the damaged blood vessels around his heart, both narrowed and clogged to improve his blood flow so it betters the chances of the trial working but it didn’t stomp her anxiety. It could be good but then again, she was well aware of the risks to know that it could also be terrible.So she stood still and even her deep breaths didn’t work so much. No one knew the am
