Chasing Sofia Chapter 80
ALEX It felt like I was listening to a broken tape that was playing out the truth.I expected an answer, but Blake Crow continued to laugh dismissively. It was clear that he had no intention of considering my ideas seriously.And then, that was when he decided to drop all he had been saving to say to me."Oh, my boy, you make me laugh. Now, let me make it clear to you.” Here we go, here comes the lashing. “You are a born failure, and nothing you do now can make up for all your years of failure and set-backs, I don’t know how much I’ve got to say to you to make you see that nothing good stays in your hands, they die, even the bad ones wilt, go brittle and then die. Stop pushing it, my boy.”When he said that, I was tempted to want to ask a question from him. All I would ask was if he really was my father. Growing up, I didn’t see the good side of Blake Crow, it was the fucked up side of him I saw. The side of his anger and disapproval of anything I ever lay my hands on.One of his com

ALEXI listened. I listened to him talk. It was like I was listening to a radio station and I had no other choice than to listen. His words cut deep into my soul. It sent more than daggers into my mind and the question I had in my mind was just simple.It was a question of, “what was the whole point?” Like, what was the whole point of me coming to New York in the first place. It was like I came here to play around. The total months I've been here was a waste. It was about six months, and now it was a waste. It was as if all the dreams and aspirations I had carried with me had been swallowed by the towering skyscrapers of New York city that surrounded me. I sniffed and dropped my phone on the table. The city that was once filled with promise for me if I came was now poisonous and being here, it felt like a prison, trapping me in a life that offered no fulfillment.Damn! Damn Blake Crow! Damn him to the hottest part of hell.As I watched the towering buildings, I couldn’t help but q

SOFIA When I had saw it, the red sticky, very crimson colour, everything in me screamed and I was pushed to want to run. I did run, and as I ran, everything in me was shaking violently. It brought back too many memories that struck my heartbeat. For a moment, I had this crazy thought that what happened years ago would repeat itself again or had happened again. The blood was too much, it was splattered on the wall, it smeared the rug, and it was over their faces too. I vividly saw them that day before the police and paramedics came by. And what was I talking about? I was talking about that day that I and my sister had walked in and we had found our parents dead bodies on the floor with them in their own pool of blood. I could remember that day like I was there, in that house. It felt like I couldn’t live in that day, but now, I was in that house, on that spot, looking at their lifeless bodies.It was a day that will forever be etched in my memory. It was the day my twin sister, Oliv

SOFIAThe dress was suiting, because by the time I got to the place that Alex picked for the date, I was bewildered.The dress I choose was the best yet that I had. I don’t even have much fancy dresses but this was fancy enough to wear for this kind of date. It was a dinner dress that was stunning; it has this flowing silk fabric that suited my skin colour. It featured a fitted bodice with delicate lace detailing on the neckline and sleeves, adding a touch of femininity to my looks. The lower part has a cinched waistline that accentuated my curves, and it flowed gracefully down to the floor with a slight train. I was pushed to trim the lower part but I decided against that. I love it just the way it looked. The back of the dress was adorned with intricate beadwork, creating a mesmerizing pattern. And it exudes sophistication and glamour, making me confident and beautiful.And to talk about the make up? It was the best I had ever worn. After I was done, I looked at myself and smiled.

SOFIATonight was just boring.The day had been too and I had been forced to pick up my phone to call Alex. But after I looked up his number and was about to press send, I just dropped the phone and sighed deeply.Was I supposed to even think of calling him? The last time I did, we ended up in each other's arms, with me crying and him trying to make me stop. Wasn't that enough fuck up to deal with?I grumbled and got up to drink water. My eyes caught the wall clock, it was past six. Still early evening but I felt like I've lived today for more than the eighteen hours. I felt so old and rusty.I was at that period again when everything seemed choked up. When I start to feel so overwhelmed and want to cry. And this happened if something from my past comes to my present. It comes unannounced and distorts my peace of mind. And that distortion was Jake Kurt, my ex-boyfriend.I went back to sit at the edge of the bed. I just couldn't believe I was going to see him again in this life time af
Chasing Sofia Chapter 85
SOFIA When I had seen Jake again, I couldn't deny the fact that something in me moved. Just like it had years ago when I first met him.And where was that? It was at a bar, I was drunk, so drunk to go back home and when I had finished my fifth bottle, I had gotten up and saw him.The bottle of alcohol was still in my hand as I stood up to come face to face with him. He was looking at me and he was coming close. When he was close enough, he had stopped and leaned closer. The way he had leaned in close, his eyes were flickering with mischief. It was a blur, yet I could still make out his features, just his eyes and his face.They were beautiful. I could even describe how he looked then. He had this piercing blue eyes and chiseled nose made that seemed to be made from one of Michelangelo's sculpture. He was that perfect. And there was a way he had looked at me then and after we began to date. It was if I were the only woman in the world. Despite our breakup then, I couldn't deny his und
Chasing Sofia Chapter 86
SOFIAI felt myself floating, more like being above water like a piece of paper. I felt light headed and calm.The evening's event was starting to leave my body system gently and I was no longer angry, just calm and should I say tipsy? I only had a bottle of alcohol. It's been long I had it. Gone were those days when I could still bear to take about five bottles (I wasn't a drinker, but alcohol suits my taste better than wine), especially in cases like this.I wanted something to burn my throat badly and maybe hurt my chest till I feel like screaming to the whole world. One thing still had the chance to flow freely in my mind. If I was drunk, I always had different thoughts. Now, I had just a single thought, it was that of Alex.I was suddenly thinking about how I met him and the circumstances surrounding the meeting. It was at a bar and he had walked up to me like he knew me from Adam, even said my name. Wasn't that supposed to bother me at first? Even though I was drunk, I have thou

ALEX Wanton splendor…I allowed the cold water run through my body like it was my second skin. It gave me this satisfaction I haven’t felt in a while. The coldness penetrated into my skin, boring into my blood streams and touching that part of me that needed to be set asleep.I closed my eyes, totally aware of the amount of water that was running through my blood stream. The sound of running water filled the room, creating a serene atmosphere that I was slowly falling in love with. I adjusted the temperature to ensure it was refreshingly cold. Even if Blake refused to give me the Crow Cartel, I would enjoy the luxury of a good bath. Right now, I didn’t even want to think about that man and his Cartel.I slowly submerged myself into the icy water, feeling an immediate sensation of complete satisfaction. The coldness enveloped my body, awakening my senses and replenishing my tired muscles. It was as if each droplet of water carried with it a burst of energy, enthusiasm and hope for me.
