Sophia’s POV.I knew the answer. That I didn’t, even though I was drunk, but I didn’t regret a thing. I sat on the bed, covering myself with the sheet, and after a while, Brandon walked out of the room, wearing nothing but a towel. It seemed like she had freshened up already, but he was avoiding looking in my direction, and it was breaking my heart.He wore fresh clothes and then left the room. I didn’t count the time that long; I sat there doing nothing, just thinking about everything.“Here!” I lifted my head and found Brandon. When did you return? Maybe when I was busy with my thoughts at that time. I looked in his hand. There was a tablet in one of his hands and the water in another. “For your headache.”, he added when I kept staring at the tablet.And what about my heartache?I didn’t ask about it and took medicine to control this headache.“There is no such plan for today except dinner at Effiel tower. So, you can rest till evening. I’m sure by then you will feel better.”, he s
Sophia’s POV.“Leave my arm, or I will literally knee you.”, I threatened, and immediately he left my hand.“Why are you talking to me in this tone?”, He asked in confusion, totally startled by my anger. “When you’re not regretting anything, then why can I feel anger in tone and voice, and you are pissed too, which is quite rare!”“You seriously have no idea what I’m pissed about?”“I’m sorry, but I’m not able t figure it out.”“That’s because what suppose to be one of the best moments for me, you spoiled it by indicating that you’re regretting it.”, I said directly instead of wasting time playing GUESS OR IDENTIFY the reason behind my anger.“I don’t understand how can sex with me is one of the best moments of your life? Have you forgotten the clause of the contract that…”“Do the hell with the clause, Brandon. I know that very well, but now neither I want to leave you nor stop myself from falling in love with you.”“WHAT?”“You heard me, Brandon. And I’m positive that you might hav
Sophia’s POV.After breaking the glass, even if we tried to join it, we couldn’t hide the cracks. In the same way, I couldn’t behave as if nothing had happened, and because of this, he left for the office without having breakfast and in a pissed mood.After finishing my lunch, I checked on Caroline before walking toward my room. She was playing with dad. I smiled, recalling dad’s word when Caroline was back, ‘Damn! I missed her so much. The next time if you will be taking her with you. I will join too. This place wasn’t giving the vibe of home anymore in her absence.’She literally had wrapped everyone around her fingers. I laid down on the bed and started using my phone, scrolling through my social media accounts. At the same time, I received a call from John.John?I double-checked his name on display, and it was indeed his call. It was not my birthday, and except for my birthday or some other important days, barely any of my other brothers except Levi, Asher, and Oliver called me
Sophia’s POV.“Actually _____,” I told everything to him when I sensed that he was in a normal mood, at least he was then. He picked the plate behind me and walked toward the dining table without saying anything about it. “Soooo?”“You know that I don’t like staying near your family members.”, he pointed out and started having his food. I gave him an innocent look, expecting him to say YES, by sitting, “Fine! But not for half an hour, and let me know the name of the place where he is asking to meet.”“Thank you. Thank you so much.” I jumped on my feet and kissed his cheeks happily.“A kiss on the cheek? It will look good between dad and you, not between us.”, He muttered, frowning, and resumed eating his food.Did he just invite me to kiss somewhere else?Well, I wouldn’t know until I would try on my own because his action and words never match with each other. I kept my hand on his left arm, on which he stopped eating and looked at me, arching his eyebrow. I boldly sat on his lap, a
Sophia’s POV.I thought he was my friend, and I trusted him with all my secrets. But now, I couldn’t feel angry at myself for trusting the wrong guy.Why did he play with my feelings when he had an evil intention from the start?“Now, just like you said that if I will hand over these two to you, then you will let me go and won’t kill me.”, John said to Henry, widening my eyes.My own brother had traded me for his life?“Jo..John?” I looked at my brother in horror and disbelief. Still pointing the gun at my head, he came in front of me.“I’m sorry, Sophia. I love you. I really do, but I love myself the most, and I won’t mind sacrificing your life to save mine.”, Saying this, he loaded the gun, and in no time, Brandon came in front of me, hiding me behind his big body.“And hell, you think that you can trade her till I’m here. No one can’t even touch her hair.”, Brandon snapped.“Exactly. This is the reason I invited you too, along with Sophia, here because everyone standing here knew t
Sophia’s POV.I didn’t know why but Henry stopped moving toward me, maybe sensing my fear or any other nasty thoughts. He raised his hand in surrender.“I mean no harm.”, Henry told me, but you couldn’t expect me to trust me after this betrayal. I just kept staring at him in fear, not knowing what to do next? I was no supergirl or wondered woman who could beat him black and blue and save my brother.I hated to admit it, but I was no less than a lamb between these werewolves who could eat me anytime. Tears were brimming in my eyes because of pain and betrayal, but I was trying my best to hold it.“Y..you?” I heard John speaking in utter shock and was still not able to believe that it was true.“Yeah! Me”, he chuckled. “Haven’t you heard that keep your friend close and enemy closer?” he asked with a smirk playing on my lips. “So, how are you feeling now? Shocked or surprise?”John looked clueless. Well, this was definitely a shock because of which he didn’t have a word to speak anythin
Sophia’s POV.“Leave me,” I shouted, trying to free my wrist from his hand. “Leave me, please!!” I cried, slapping his hand with my other hand, but he kept pulling me out of the house. “You’re hurting me, Henry.”, I cried, and immediately he left my hand as if he cared.Well, his grip was indeed hurting me.I wasn’t lying.But the moment he left my hand, I ran toward Brandon to beg in front of him to spare the life of my brother. “Brandon, Brandon!!” I grabbed his arms. “I don’t know what happened in the past, but please don’t kill John.”, I pleaded, hoping for him to stop all this.“He is going to die tonight, Sophia, and no one can make me change that decision. NO ONE.”, he said in a cold tone. “Now leave with Bruce, or you won’t be able to sleep properly because of fear.”“It’s not this incident which is scaring me, Brandon.”, I sobbed. “It’s you that is scaring me.”, I added, and it was true. This side of Brandon was scaring the shit out of me! He looked heartless and cruel and w
Sophia’s POV.Bruce dragged me to the other car and made me sit inside it, and then grabbed the driver's seat; he started the car’s engine. While I pinched myself a couple of times to check, hoping it to be a dream, but it wasn’t. I was wide awake, and everything was indeed happening with me for real.I was still having a hard time believing that Brandon was the real villain of my life. The man who protected me and took care of me pampered me all this whole year.“Truth won’t change even if you keep pinching yourself for a hundred times more.” I heard Henry speaking, but I ignored him.Exactly. Everything was nothing but an act; his care, his concern, hell, everything related to him was fake. Now I could understand the conversation between us the other day. Now, every word of his was making sense.‘I’m not the right person to fall in love with, Sophia.’‘You’re saying so even without knowing anything about me.’‘Sophia, my past won’t allow me to love you.’‘Easy for you to say, but I
