CHAPTER 2 [Little Rainbow]~TRAVIS~“Are you married?”As many times as that question rang in my head, I still couldn’t understand what exactly I had done since I came into this hall which gave the impression that one could ask me that sort of question. Since I was mystified by the question itself a
CHAPTER 3 [To be alone]~TRAVIS~ Sophie Summers. Twenty-six. Graduated top of her class with credentials that could get her a job at any reputable company in the country. Aside from her age, there was nothing peculiar about little miss rainbow. She was certainly much younger than I was but she w
CHAPTER 4 [Her Life’s Mission]~SOPHIE~“Sophie! You mad woman!” I heard her angry voice from a distance away, yet I still wasn’t fast enough to escape the slipper that hit me smack at the back of my head. Celeste, my roommate and sadly also the only friend I had, barged into our cramped apartment
CHAPTER 5 [The Freaking Prize]~SOPHIE’S POV~There was only one reason why my relationships never lasted more than three months; I was too good for them. I was the freaking prize. Sure, they were too much of a coward to just admit it and came up with silly excuses as listed below: ~You’re too obse
CHAPTER 6 [An Anomaly] ~TRAVIS~ I’ve dealt with mergers that threatened to collapse entire divisions of my company. I’ve handled hostile negotiations with billionaires who’d rather burn than concede. I’ve faced reporters armed with intrusive questions and competitors who’d sell their souls to see
CHAPTER 7 [Sweet Tooth] ~SOPHIE~ The car ride back to the office was painfully silent. Not just any kind of silence—the loud, suffocating kind that made every second stretch like an eternity. I had played my cards too boldly today, and Travis Sinclair’s scowl was proof of that. He didn’t speak.
CHAPTER 8 [Anything But Ordinary] TRAVIS It had been two days since the disaster at Ridgeview, but Sophie Summers had refused to leave my mind. No matter how hard I tried to push her out, she lingered like a splinter under my skin, irritating and unavoidable. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing m
CHAPTER 9 [The Picture Of Caution]~SOPHIE~Celeste was already waiting for me as I stepped out of Travis office, her arms crossed and her usual look of exasperation firmly in place. I knew I had this coming when I came here but it was actually surprising that she let me in without a fight.“Sophie,
CHAPTER 99 ~SOPHIE~ The moment Sebastian disappeared down the street, a crushing silence fell over me, broken only by the unsteady rhythm of my breathing. My fingers twitched at my sides, my entire body locked in place as if moving would make the moment real, as if accepting that he had been
CHAPTER 98 ~SOPHIE~ In between the endless nightmares that were triggered by the events of the past week and waiting for Travis to reach out to me again, I had been pushed to the edge of insanity. I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but it did. It got worse. And now I was bolting out
CHAPTER 97 ~JUSTIN~ I’ve never been anyone’s first choice. Never. No matter how hard I tried, Jac always had the spotlight. He was the golden boy, the prodigy, the one with all the medals and accolades. Meanwhile, I was the kid bringing home crayon sketches and piano recitals that no one car
CHAPTER 96 ~SOPHIE~ There were many questions; like how on earth she was in a place that was at least an hour's drive from her family’s mansion, and why she was chugging down cheap beer when I have only ever seen her enjoy the finest wine. The longer we stood there, wordlessly staring at ea
CHAPTER 95 [ Punching Bag ] ~ELAINE~ (6) The moment I slipped through the gates and caught sight of my father’s car parked neatly in the driveway, dread curled deep in the pit of my stomach. I stopped dead in my tracks, my pulse quickening. They were home. They were never supposed to be hom
CHAPTER 94 [ The One Who Needs Saving ] ~SOPHIE~ I didn’t even blink when the words fell out of Justin’s mouth like he'd been holding them in for years. I just sat there, watching him like he had told me the most obvious thing in the world. If I felt remotely surprised, it was simply because I
CHAPTER 93 [ I’m Gay ] ~SOPHIE~ My scream echoed down the street, loud enough to wake the dead or at least give someone a mild heart attack. But the hand gripping my shoulder was barely even settled before instinct took over. I spun around, grabbing the wrist tightly and twisting it with all the
CHAPTER 92 [ Little Contradictions ] ~SOPHIE~ The faint neon lights from the cinema flickered on and off as I stood by the curb, watching the stream of people moving in and out of the building. I couldn’t remember the last time I watched a movie—couldn’t even remember the last time I did somethi
CHAPTER 91 [ The Man I thought I knew ] ~SOPHIE~ He said no. I never imagined that would be his answer. I sat there, stunned into silence, blinking at him like I hadn't heard him right. His fingers were still wrapped around my wrist, firm and unyielding as if he could anchor me to him by sheer
