Chapter 42

Sophie’s POV

I pulled him away on his chest with all my might and gave him a resounding slap. “Are you crazy?” I said, my voice trembling with anger.

“I just want you to know how much you mean to me. I see that you also want me; your lips want—”

I didn’t let him finish. With a swift motion, I delivered another sharp slap, the sound echoing in the charged air between us. This one was louder, more forceful than the first.

“Do you think this is some kind of game?” I snapped. “You can’t just toy with my feelings like that!”

He rubbed his cheek, eyes wide with a mix of surprise and something else—was it regrets? “I wasn’t trying to play games, Sophie. I just thought—”

“Thought what?” I interrupted, my voice rising. “That you could just waltz in and out of my life? That I wouldn’t care?”

He stepped closer, an intensity in his gaze that made my heart flutter despite my anger. “You’re right. I messed up. But I’m trying to be honest with you now.”

    Chapter 43 Julian's POV "Did you even listen to yourself?" I asked, fuming in anger. "Mr. Blackwood, I think that's the best solution: to sack the part-time employees and leave the full-time staff. That's what most companies do," the manager replied, his tone matter-of-fact. "We are not like 'most companies.' We are different; everything about us should be,' I insisted. "But what about paying them? The company is short on cash as it is," he countered, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. "I've been able to talk to some investors. I should be able to talk to more tomorrow," I said. "But what if they do not agree? Let’s shed some staff, at least if not all," he pressed on. "Why are you being pessimistic? If you were in their position, would you be happy to be sacked suddenly? Most of them have families to feed. We can't just let them go for our own gain," I said, my voice rising slightly. He fell silent, his hands locked together in front of him. "Just go home a

    Chapter 44 Sophie's POV "Is there anywhere you want to go, Izzy?" I asked Isabella on the phone. "Hmm... maybe on a picnic?" she replied, her voice filled with excitement. "Cool! You are a chef, so the food and snacks are on you," I teased. "No problem, boo," she beamed, and I could almost picture her smiling on the other end of the line. "Should I come and pick you up?" I inquired, glancing at the clock. "Yes, please do," she said, and I could hear the anticipation in her voice. "I will be there in an hour," I promised, hanging up and feeling a rush of excitement. It's been a while I had gone out with Isabella. I made my way to the jacuzzi, the warm water soothing my muscles. After a refreshing bath, I wandered into my room, ready to choose an outfit. I decided on a light, flowy picnic dress in a soft floral pattern that danced around my knees with every step. It was comfortable yet stylish, perfect for lounging on the grass. I paired it with a cute woven bag and s

    Chapter 45Alex's POVFLASHBACK BEGINS"So, you mean Julian is coming today?" Victoria asked on the phone, her voice carrying a weight of urgency. "I don't want false information, Marcus. If I find out it's false, you know what I can do.""Okay...you don't have to worry about why I want to know when he will be back," she continued, her gaze fixed on me. I could feel the tension in the air as I watched her. "So, you booked his flight for eleven today?" She glanced at her wristwatch. "Then he should be getting ready to land in an hour, right?""Okay," she said, disconnecting the call and turning to me with a determined expression. "Julian will be landing in an hour.""Shall I get started?" I asked, standing up to move closer to her."Yeah, good luck. Jenkins will be there to help you," she said, pecking me on the cheek, making me blush. "I trust you.""Okay," I replied, pulling her into a hug. "I will be back soon."I stepped back from the hug, grabbed my jacket, and left the house. Des

    Chapter 46Sophie's POV"Let go of me," I said, trying to wriggle my hands free from his grip. The coldness of his touch sent a shiver down my spine, and I fought against the wave of dizziness that threatened to consume me."Tell me you love me, then I will let go," he replied, his voice low and insistent, as if he truly believed he could manipulate me into submission."Over my dead body," I spat back, the words laced with venom. "I will never love you, Alex. Let me repeat it for your fucking ears: it's Julian I love."A cruel smile flickered across his face, but it quickly faded. "It's like you really don't know what's happening here. Julian wants you out of his life."His words sliced through me, sharper than any blade. I kicked him hard in the groin, and he released me with a grunt of pain. Seizing the moment, I bolted up the stairs. Each step felt unsteady, my head spinning. It was probably the effects of the spiked drink. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, a frantic rhyt

  • Behind the Billonaire's Mask    Trying to get Sophie out of my mind...

    Chapter 47Julian's POV I kept driving through the city, my mind racing and my heart pounding. The walls around me felt like they were closing in, suffocating me with the weight of the truth I was struggling to accept. Sophie… I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that she could do something so deceitful. The evidence was glaringly clear, yet my heart refused to believe it. I felt as if I were caught in a surreal nightmare, one that I couldn’t wake up from.Our connection had been so fast as if we had known each other for years, even in such a short time. As I navigated the familiar streets, memories of my past flooded my mind, dragging me back to the bitter moments with Victoria. History repeated itself, and I was left grappling with the painful echoes of betrayal. The feeling of déjà vu was almost suffocating, a reminder of how easily trust could unravel. My hands clenched the steering wheel tightly, as if it were the only thing anchoring me in this tumbulous storm of emotion

    Chapter 48Sophie's POVI got down from the car and made my way to Victoria's doorstep. Pressing the doorbell, I waited, but there was no reply—only the loud noises reverberated from inside the house. I pressed the doorbell again, and still, no response.Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped inside. The sight that met my eyes was shocking: Victoria was giving a guy a lap dance, lost in the rhythm of the loud music blaring from the speakers. They didn't seem to notice me as they were immersed in their moment.I walked over to the speaker and turned it off. The sudden silence drew their attention, and Victoria looked up, her face a mixture of surprise and annoyance. She got off the guy, hastily dragging down her skimpy gown."What the fuck!" she exclaimed, eyes wide."I can see you’re enjoying yourself after destroying a home," I shot back, my heart pounding."What do you mean I destroyed a home?" she asked, feigning innocence as she turned to the guy. "Leave!" He scurrie

    Chapter 49Alex's POV"Let's get a divorce," I said, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside me. Stella had just returned home from one of her usual late-night parties, and I had gathered every ounce of courage to voice the thought that had been haunting me for weeks. I was done pretending; my focus needed to be solely on Sophie and Victoria."What?" she replied, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief.I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of my words. "Honestly, I have no reason to live with you. We have no kids, we don’t love each other. Our marriage is just a formality; only on paper, we didn’t even have a proper wedding. We live like strangers, and you’re seeing someone else. Nothing good has come from this so-called marriage."Stella dropped her bag on the table and sat down on the bed next to me, her fingers unbuttoning her blouse. "Did you meet your ex-girlfriend? Are you back with her?" she shot back, a hint of accusation in her tone."Nooo..." I

    Chapter 49Victoria's POV"Victoria! Victoria!!" The familiar voice jolted me out of my sleep. I tried to get back to sleep, but he kept shouting and barged into my room."What is it, Alex? Can't you see it's early?" I said, the sleep still holding me down."Are you supposed to be sleeping? I can't find Sophie," he said."What's that got to do with me? Am I the one who said you should lose her? Go check her house or something, and let me sleep peacefully." I pulled the blanket over my head.He yanked the blanket off me. "I checked her house. She isn't there, and that's the only place she can be."Ah! This must be my punishment for getting involved with someone like him."Don't you know any of her friends' houses? Just go there and let me be in peace for crying out loud," I said, my voice rising."Okay," he replied, his tone low and contemplative."She came to my house last night and threatened me. Apparently, their marriage was a contract marriage," I added as Alex turned to leave. He

    SIX YEARS LATER Sophie’s POV "Good morning, beauty." A deep, familiar voice broke through my peaceful sleep, and I felt a warm presence near me. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open, adjusting to the morning light streaming through the curtains. Julian stood beside the bed, a soft smile on his lips, holding a tray of breakfast in his hands. "Good morning, honey," I murmured, stretching lazily before sitting up. A wave of warmth filled me at the sight before me—a plate of golden-brown toast, a perfectly fried egg, and a steaming cup of tea. My stomach grumbled in approval, making me smile. Julian placed the tray gently on the bed and sat on the edge, watching me. "I made breakfast for you," I glanced at him, my heart swelling with love. "Thank you, honey." His smile widened, and without warning, he leaned in, tilting his head to kiss me. I quickly turned my face away, causing him to freeze mid-motion. "Huh?" He blinked. I chuckled, pressing my lips together. "I haven’t brushed my

    Chapter 118 Sophie’s POV It had been three hell long days since Julian fell into a coma. His face, once so vibrant and full of life, was now pale and drawn, the oxygen tubes were gone but there was still IV drips connected to his hand. His lips were slightly parted, and his chest rose and fell weakly beneath the hospital gown, but there was no other sign of movement. I sat beside him, my fingers laced through his, unable to look away from his still form. I tightened my grip on his hand, my voice barely above a whisper. "Julian, can you hear me?" No response. My throat tightened as I swallowed hard, forcing back another wave of despair. I wished for even the faintest sign of acknowledgement. I missed him—his laughter, his warmth, his voice, everything that made him who he was. "Do you remember when you first told me you loved me?" I continued, my voice trembling. "You said it so casually, as if you had always known. And I was so scared… scared that if I believed it, I’d los

    Chapter 117 Sophie’s POV The ambulance doors slammed shut, and we sped through the city, sirens wailing. My hands trembled as I clutched Julian’s, his skin cold and clammy. His face was too pale, his lips slightly parted as he struggled for breath. "Stay with me, Julian," I pleaded, my voice shaking. "Please, don’t close your eyes." He tried to smile, but it was weak. His eyelids fluttered, his body barely holding on. "No, no, no," I sobbed, pressing my forehead against his. "You promised me. You said you wouldn’t leave me. You can’t break your promise now." The paramedics worked frantically, pressing gauze against his wound, checking his vitals. "He's losing too much blood," one of them muttered. "Do something!" I screamed. "We're doing everything we can," another paramedic said, trying to keep me calm. I swallowed back my panic and looked at Julian again. His chest rose and fell weakly, each breath looking more labored than the last. "I love you, Sophie," he whi

    Chapter 116 Sophie’s POV The sound of the gunshot echoed in my ears, deafening. My body tensed, my breath hitched, and for a moment, I swore my heart had stopped. But there was no pain. I wasn’t hit! Slowly, I opened my eyes, my body trembling, my breath ragged. My heart pounded so loudly it nearly drowned out everything else. Celine—or rather, Victoria—was standing there, her face twisted in rage. But her grip on the gun had faltered, her hands shaking slightly. Then I noticed—someone had tackled her from the side. The gun had fired, but not at me. My breath came in short, uneven bursts as my eyes fell on the person who had tackled her. Julian. He was there, gripping Victoria’s wrist, twisting it painfully as she shrieked in frustration. The gun clattered to the floor, skidding across the rooftop. Victoria struggled wildly, her breath ragged with anger. "Let me go, you bastard!" she spat. "Not this time." Julian’s grip tightened as he shoved her backward, pinning her agains

    Chapter 115 Sophie’s POV "How do I look?" I asked, turning to Julian while smoothing down the fabric of my red off-shoulder gown. The silky material hugged my curves perfectly, flowing elegantly to my feet. Julian’s gaze softened as he stepped closer, his lips curving into a fond smile. "You look as stunning as always," he murmured, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear. His touch was gentle, affectionate, and when he leaned down to press a kiss on my forehead, warmth spread through me. Then, he kissed me lightly on the lips, making my heart skip a beat. "Thank you, hubby," I whispered, "You made this happen. You made everything happen. If someone had told me a year ago when I got here that everything would turn out like this, I would have asked them to shut up." Julian chuckled, his fingers tilting my chin up so I could meet his gaze. "Why?" he asked. I sighed, shaking my head at how absurd it all seemed now. "Because I never thought I would fall in love with yo

    Chapter 114 Victoria's POV "Here." Zayn said as he zipped up my gown. His eyes gleamed, but I knew that smile wasn’t for me—it was for the mission ahead. Today was finally Sophie’s birthday party. The moment I had been waiting for. "Wow, you look so stunning. I really don’t regret ever choosing you as my pet." Pet. That word still made my skin crawl, but I swallowed my disgust. Was that even something to be proud of? Owning another human being like a possession? "Thank you," I muttered, careful to keep my voice low. I had learned the hard way that any hesitation, any sign of defiance, would earn me his wrath. The past days had been hell—Zayn had beaten me senseless over the smallest mistakes, as if he took pleasure in watching me suffer. He demanded obedience, but it was fucking hard for me to suppress my pride. I had never learnt to bow to people not even my parents. "Good girl." His voice dripped with condescension. "Go check yourself in the mirror while I get dressed.

    Chapter 113 Victoria's POV "Come here." Zayn said immediately Caleb left. His voice was firm, commanding. His dark eyes bore into mine, sending shivers down my spine. I stood frozen, my fists clenched at my sides, resisting the urge to comply. "Why should I?" I snapped, rolling my eyes, my lips curling in defiance. Before I could even process what happened next, a sharp, stinging pain exploded across my cheek. The force of his slap sent my head snapping to the side, my vision blurring for a moment, my skin burned like fire. When had he gotten to where I was standing? I gasped, my hand instinctively flying up to touch my swollen cheek. My eyes widened in shock—how dare he? Zayn smirked, his expression oozing with arrogance and cruelty. "Just because you're going to help us now doesn't mean you get to ignore me." He tilted his head, stepping closer, his presence suffocating. "You're still my pet—now, after the mission, and forever." His words made my stomach churn. My heart pound

    Chapter 112 Victoria’s POV When I woke again, my head was pounding like a jackhammer. Damn. My eyelids felt heavy, and my body ached like I had been run over by a truck. What the hell happened? I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the dimly lit room. My stomach twisted as I realized—I was back. Back in this hellhole. I shot up quickly, my breathing ragged, my hands instinctively reaching for my wrists. Thank goodness, I wasn’t tied this time. But that relief was short-lived because the reality of my situation came crashing down again. Caleb. That traitor. I still couldn't wrap my head around it. Caleb was working for Zayn. My stomach churned at the thought. How the hell had they even met? I ran a shaky hand through my hair, trying to gather my thoughts. I had escaped. I had almost tasted freedom. And now? Now, I was trapped again. Shit. Then, I heard it—the faint murmur of voices outside the door. My pulse quickened. I pushed myself off the bed, ignoring the weakness in
