Chasing Sofia Chapter 93
ALEX FEAR…There was fear in his eyes, I couldn’t be mistaken. When I saw fear, I can recognize it. This was because it was something that I woke up with and slept with. It was part of my daily routine to be scared. As a child growing up in the house of the most powerful mafia, fear was a constant thing to be expressed by me.It could be from Anthony or it could be from my father, it could be from the hefty men that slept with us in the house and woke up with us. It could be from any of them, and fear was surely bound to shake me violently. It was something I learnt to live with as a child; the constant bullying and ordering around, the beatings and the punishment, they were all a part of me that when I see someone in distress, I can easily call what he was feeling FEAR.To talk about how I was able to overcome my own fear would mean spending the whole day standing and staring at Blake. Talking about him alone, the fear he instilled in me was still there till this moment. Whenever he

SOFIA Jake is dead.The realization that he was dead made me think back about how we were when we were dating. I sat on the edge of my bed (I was now at Alex's house and the decision to be here took me a little y of thinking). I was staring into the distance as memories of Jake Kurt flooded my mind. Jake Kurt was the man of my dreams. The man that would fill the void that had been left in me since my other relationships with 'boys'. Jake filled that void, he was a man like my father, and he would be the best for me if he hadn't cheated on me. I remember the day of the cheating. He had been acting funny even before that day and I had left him. Most times, I wasn't home and I would go out just to save my head from the clutches of my step father. But that day, I wanted to just see Jake and I had gone.It's been years, but the image was still burned into my mind, like a scar that never fades and wouldn't fade. I remembered the gut-wrenching feeling in me that day as I had opened the be

ALEXWas I going to find anything now?I asked myself this question some days ago when Sofia and I had gone to her former house. I asked myself this question when I wasn't closer to getting exactly what I wanted. I remember that day. I knelt down to carefully check out the documents. I was now surrounded by paperwork that seemed to mock me with its lack of answers.I couldn’t shake the feeling of frustration that was now building inside me as I continued to check. The exact thing I was looking for, the main object of my desire seemed just out of reach, and no matter how many times I checked the paperwork, there was nothing to indicate that my situation would change.I rifled through the papers hoping that I had missed something, just something so tiny, some small detail that would make all the difference that I needed. I just have to find something that would help me gain an upper arm. I have to get the Cartel.Before, I had given up on owning the Cartel, and that was because everyth

ALEX This will lead me to my grave…I was sure it would. It was as though Sofia had imprinted herself upon my very essence, leaving an indelible mark that would forever linger within my soul.And what I'll tell myself was that, “this will lead you to your grave, Alexander Crow.”I was so sure this wasn't meant to be. But somehow, it felt so good, it felt so right, so damn right. It was one feeling that I liked even though everything surrounding it should put me in a red zone and should push me out but I was in it, enjoying all that it had to give me.Sofia was like fine wine, something that was irresistible, so damn irresistible to me.Everything I do has her in it, thinking all day has to do with her. My waking and my sleeping has her in it. It was like she was a curse into my life, the curse that had refused to go even though I fought it off with prayers.There was absolutely nothing I did that I could do without her. She was always there. I just couldn't stop thinking about her. S

ALEXIt was safe to say I had fallen in love with Sofia Griffin and that was not something good at all.What made me come to this conclusion was that the feeling I felt wasn’t a feeling I have never felt before in the first place. I had felt this before, I knew it runs in my blood as a child. To my mother I loved her, I had loved her naturally and then to my father, Blake Crow, I should say I love him.The love I had for Blake Crow was admiration. I loved the qualities he possessed as the leader of a powerful establishment. He was fearless and he gave orders that must be obeyed no matter the cost of getting it done. He gave orders that were realistic but getting there might kill and might save. He was able to retain that seat for years now. The Crow Cartel would have been nothing without Blake.Starting to think about it now, if Anthony had been the one in charge of the Crow, I was sure it would have been destroyed now.Why did I say this?Anthony was not someone who had the spirit o

SOFIA I was preparing for work when I heard the whispers of Alex. At first, it was a female's voice I heard. I even thought it was the Television but then the voice was near, so near. It was then I realised that it was actually a woman. And the surprising thing was that she was with Alex.I decided to check and I stopped in my tracks when I saw the woman. She was robust. She had big eyes that shone brightly. Her hair colour was a deep shade of purple and kind of blue at the tip. She doesn't look like just any woman one would find at the roadside. I put one and one together and concluded that she was a call girl.Now the question was, what was her mission here?I wanted to know so I made myself visible to Alex and I saw them talking. They seemed to be in a very audible conversation. They were not even trying to whisper, I heard every bit of what they said.And the worst part was that Alex even made an introduction. I didn't know what to think of that approach. The fact that he made

SOFIAMaybe case not closed…Alex was not the type to talk that much. That was what made this whole thing so tacky. He said little or nothing and I was the one who said most of what was to be said between us. Even when I had asked him to tell me something about himself, he had only told me little and that didn’t do justice to exactly what I needed.I needed more than what he had told me but I couldn’t ask, not because I was scared of him but what I would hear from him. Something keeps telling me there was more to Alex. He seemed tongued-tied about some sensitive things like that. And now, I don’t think I have any right to ask him anything. He was not into me as much as I was into him.I began to wonder why exactly he doesn’t want to open up to me. What could be the cause? He had told me he was the only surviving son of his father and that his mother had died, that was all he had told me, no addition, no subtraction. And I noticed he didn’t talk about his father. The way he had even s
Chasing Sofia Chapter 100
SOFIAFor a while, I just stared. I was trying to understand why I was hearing the voices in a dark place like this, I couldn’t understand but I just knew these voices and they shouldn’t be here.I looked up and saw that I was still a bit far from home (Alex’s house of course). I took out my earphones to listen well to the muffled voices. The whole noise from the driving was making me not hear. It was definitely my parents' voices, I would recognize it anywhere I hear it. As a child, I already knew I was blessed with parents who were not only loving and supportive, but also had a way of making me and my sister feel at ease and joyful just by the sound of their voices. Growing up, I cherished the moments when I could listen to them talk, laugh, and share stories. These moments shaped me into the person I was today, and I would always be grateful for the happiness they brought into my life.The both of them had a unique way of communicating with each other that always filled our home
