“I still can’t believe the baby is real yours, I was right back then,”“Yes, you were right, we did sleep together a couple of months before the theft incident, I remembered but I thought it was a dream and Sophie thought I didn’t remember so she was scared to tell me,”Lance explained. “And I sent them both away, I don’t deserve to be forgiven,’ “Yes, you don’t but I love you, so you get some mercy,”Lance responded, they continued talking all through the drive back to the palace, and even made plans to leave for Briscout as soon as he was done with the meeting with Justin and was able to put people in charge while he was away, he had a lot of people who would make sure everything continued running smoothly during his absence. When they got back to the palace, Lance told him to go rest and get ready while he dressed up to go meet his brother, he wanted their meeting to be just the two of them. Once again, he drove himself to where he was meeting Justin, he didn’t want to meet him
Sophie's eyes widened in fear when she heard the knock on her door, she was in a new hotel now, far from the other one she had been in when she had met Damon. it has been three days since he came to see her and she hasn’t had any rest since. She wanted to leave Briscout again but she didn’t know where to go, she couldn’t even go back to looking for an apartment because she was scared Demon might find her again. She finally checked the money in the card that Patrick had given to her, it was enough to carry for three months or six if she managed which she intended to do but the money wasn’t enough to pay Damon off neither was it enough to help her relocate to another country, far from where Damon was. She should never have come back to Briscout, she had made a mistake coming back here but she didn’t know where else to choose. Moving to a whole new country would have been much more expensive. The knock on the door came again and this time, she got out of bed, hoping that it was just room
“Let’s go,”He said. Sophie lost the will to even fight him, she walked out of the hotel room with him, not knowing what she would do yet but she made up her mind to speak to Damon, that’s if he would listen. “Just continue to be like this and you will not have a problem with me but if you decide to act out, I might not be very kind,”Gavin warned when they walked out of the hotel lobby, he led her towards the car and Sophie spotted a couple of men she knew worked for Damon too, it didn’t even cross her mind to try and run because she knew it would be useless to try. Gavin dropped her off and went away, he left her in a room and told her that Damon would be in to see him, Sophie was scared but powerless, she only hoped to speak with Damon and come to an agreement with him, if he agreed, she would give him all the money with her and also agree to work and pay him back. she waited for Damon to show up but hours after she arrived, she didn’t see or hear from him. Someone came in and ga
After four days of looking for Sophie without any possible lead, Lance had to return to Otano temporarily because he had something important that he had to attend to. The people Roseline had spoken to were doing their best to find her, even though they were able to trace the card that Patrick had given her, they still couldn’t find her because she had left the place before they got there. Lance spoke with Patrick about it and they decided that it would be better to get the authorities of the country involved. It would be easier that way. Lance had wanted to do it on his own but as the days went by, he realized it would be impossible to find out, that’s why he scheduled a meeting with the president of the country, as soon as he arrived back, he would meet up with him. He already had plans to strike a deal with them in exchange for helping him find Sophie. He had left Patrick behind and he was able to schedule the meeting, they have talked throughout when he has been in Otano and so fa
Sophie lost all hope of ever being free from Damon, he refused to listen to all her pleas and talks, and he was hell bent on keeping her here with him. He refused every reasonable word she had said to him. He kept talking about wanting her and waiting long enough for the baby to be born because he didn’t want to fuck her while she was carrying another man’s child, it was bittersweet for her because it only means she would be free from him for the next four months but she was scared of what might happen within that time, she didn’t want to remain his prisoner forever, she didn’t want to be his toy, neither did she want her child to be taken away from her. Now she regrets agreeing with Patrick. She wished she had had the courage to stand up against him and talk to Lance herself, maybe it would not have been as bad as it was now. Maybe Lance would have found a way to keep their family together as he had promised her. She regretted not trusting his words enough and not believing in their l
“Aha,”She cried when she felt pain in her stomach, she cradled her baby bump, praying that her poor child was okay and unhurt. She couldn’t just keep standing there, she needed to leave; she reached for the door but noticed he was rising again, she picked up the wooden lamp stand near her, walked back to him, and hit him with it again a couple of time more, she stopped when he stopped moving, turned around and ran out of the room. Sophie ran out of the room, hoping that she would find a way out of the place, she needed to be out of the house before Damon walked up or his men found out what she had done to him. She looked around and there was no one in the hallway, she ran for the front door but had to stop and hide when she saw a man with a gun. She hid behind a shelf and waited until he was out of sight before she ran away from there. It was dark outside but the darkness served as some form of protection for her. She walked as fast as her legs could carry her towards the gate, she
Having Sophie in his arms again felt like heaven, he wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace, and she cried into his arms. Lance felt his heart swell with love and relief, he finally found her, and she held on to him tight, crying her eyes out, he hated seeing the woman he loved cry, she was hurt too, he was happy to see her but he was also angry at the bastard who dared to touch his woman and hurt her, he couldn’t let it slide, no one hurt his woman and go free, he would make sure that bastard pay for what he did to Sophie, she was crying so hard and all he could at the moment was pat her back and tell her that it was all fine now and that she was okay and with him. She stopped crying for a moment and got out of the hug, he reached out for her in confusion until he saw the woman that had been standing and watching them, he watched as she went to her and gave her back the phone, they spoke and shared a hug before the older woman walked away, Lance felt grateful to her for lendi
Sophie woke up in fear, she opened her eyes and was ready to jump out of the bed, felt a hand around her and wiped her eyes to the right, she let out a sigh of relief when she saw who it was. Lancelot, he found her, she had not been dreaming. “Lance,”She whispered. Looking at the man she didn’t know if she deserved, he came to her when she needed him the most, he didn’t make her wait for long and showed up. she thought she had dreamt about him but he was in bed with her right now with his arm protectively wrapped around her, she fell asleep in the car, all the days she spent with Damon, she couldn’t sleep properly because she had been in constant fear that he might come around and do something to her. “You are awake,”Lance voiced as his eyes fluttered open. Sophie nodded wordlessly, she still found it hard to believe that she was with him now, safe, and that Damon would never be able to hurt her again, she had Gavin and the good old woman who let her use her phone and also gave he
