Deadly obsession New threat(2)
I usher my father and Mira through the grand entry of Alexander's mansion, a precarious mixture of emotions pounding in my heart with every passage. The house exudes warmth, and a delicious aroma fills the air. Upon stepping inside, we hear the faint murmur of voices drifting from the kitchen.My mom.Standing at the kitchen island, she is chopping vegetables with precision and grace as Alexander leans against the counter, a look of amusement on his face while peeling an apple with the sleeves of his immaculate white shirt rolled up to his elbows.The sight of them together makes my stomach clench.So domestic. So...real.And I hate it.As soon as my mom sees the two gently entering—my father and Mira—my mom puts the knife down, wipes her hands with a kitchen towel, and walks toward my father, wearing a heartfelt smile.“Daniel,” she says first to my father, steady and calm, before she turns to Mira. “Mira. It’s so lovely to see you again .”Mira shines. “You too, Mrs. Thompson. Your

Sophia’s POV.The garden is still now except the gentle rustle of leaves swaying in the evening air. The smell of roses freshly watered hangs mixed with the even fainter whiff of lovely chlorine from the pool.This is the time when things ought to feel calm, but because I'm lying here facing Mira under fine moonlight, tension tightens between us like an invisible rope purposed to snap any second soon.I shouldn't have followed her out here. I should have turned a blind eye and gone straight to my room. But decency did not permit it, and now I am trapped within a conversation I never wanted to have.Mira tilts her head slightly, smirking at me so that my skin tingles. "What is happening between you and Alexander?" she asks, her voice light, almost playful, but I hear the edge beneath it.Like a slap in the face, the question takes my breath away. For a second, I can only stare at her, my mind tying itself in knots, trying to think about the audacity of her words.Then I let out an amus

Sophia's POV.The air betweenus thickened. It balanced with unspoken possibilities."I need to talk to you," I said, my own voice lessaudible than I'd intended it to be. "Privately."Those piercing blue eyes regarded me intently, searching for something in my expression. He clenched his jaw before inclining his head once. "Meet me in my library."That was all; he turned and walked away, leaving me standing there, the heart pounding in my chest.I exhaled, fingers curling into fists. What the devil was that? The manner in which he looked at me, the manner in which his very existence caused my mind to spin, was sufficient to make my head spin. And for a moment, I had wished to kiss him. What is wrong with me?I brushed those sly thoughts away and turned sharply, entering my room. I entered and locked the door behind me, breathing deeply, attempting to relax. Focus, Sophia. Mira is the problem-not whatever the damn hell is occurring between you and Alexander.I put on a simple black tan
Last Updated : 2025-02-18Deadly obsession A new rival
Sophia’s POVThe first rays of sunlight crept into my room, I stretched lazily before sitting up to rub the sleep from my eyes. Replaying last night's events in my mind-Mira's accusations, pool, and that look of Alexander when he asked what happened-I felt a small part of my being burn with the glory of the assurance that he had turned to me at first. But a warning flashing in my mind told me that he was definitely not finished with Mira. She was far from giving up easily.With all that out of my mind, I slid off the bed and headed for the bathroom. I quickly freshened up. Today was not going to be normal but something in between-not fiery glares and scandalous affairs. Cooking with mum sounded like the perfect diversion.When I was descending the stairs and heading toward the kitchen, I heard voices-feminine, hushed, and familiar. My steps slowed as I approached the door, my heart hammering against my ribs. Mira was in there… talking to my mother.With an expression of neutrality, I

Sophia’s POVFor a moment, I thought I had misheard her.The words that had just left Mira’s mouth couldn’t be real. They couldn’t.Blinded by rage, I clenched my fist so hard my knuckles turned white, I curled my fingers around my phone. "What did you just say?" I asked quietly. Mira seemed amused by my response as she slightly tilted her head. With a interjected breath, she flicked her hair back behind her ear and smiled at me. "I said, I want Alexander." The air was thick in the room.I blinked. "Are you joking?"Mira's smirk widened. "Am I?" My laugh was a short bark, filled with no humor while controlling the rage crashing inside me. "You are insane," I said. "You're my father's girlfriend. Have some shame."Mira did not flinch. If anything, her demeanor became even more confident, if not more arrogant. "Oh, Sophia," she sighed dramatically , her hand pressed against her breast. "I didn’t have my eyes on Alexander until last night, but… watching him—how he carried himself, how

Sophia's pov The slicing of vegetables created a steady rhythm in the kitchen, and I leaned against the counter, cutting randomly into a carrot. The knife slice left, and clean, yet somehow my thoughts were about a million miles from that.Mira was gone. Out of my dad's life, out of my house, out of my view. That should have given me nothing but pleasure. Instead, there sat the itch of uncertainty gnawing away.She wasn't the type to go away easily-fling a few fleeting insults at you and never speak again.We were mere days from the wedding, and I could not help thinking that, if she were to make an appearance, she would try to create an incident. Manipulative sort. Opportunistic. Mira does not lose. She just manipulates. I thrust the knife deeper into the wood of the cutting board, gasping."Sweetheart, are you okay?" Mom's voice broke the enchanting whirl of images and thoughts. She was standing at the kitchen counter frowning down at me while kneading the dough with her hands.I

Sophia's POVAlexander's mouth claimed mine with deliberate possession while my body gradually melded into his. An intense passion between us emerged as an overwhelming force that blinded our senses yet felt inherently wrong. Before I could become immersed in its depths—A knock.A hard sharp knock."Alexander? "My muscles locked into rigid tension. The sound of my mother's voice shattered the moment causing my breath to freeze in my throat.My heart pounding fear coursed through my system like flames. An unbidden step carried me backward while my heart raced and my uncontrolled eyes darted frantically across the library. In which place might I conceal myself? There existed no place. A nauseating sensation plagued my stomach.Alexander maintained an unblinking stare. He found no discomfort in fastening his shirt's top button while he smoothed the fabric, pretending we hadn't indulged in forbidden desires. He approached the door with feigned lightness and swung it open just enough to

Sophia’s povDuring my early morning garden stroll, the air felt crisp while it carried the scents of damp earth and blooming roses. The sun had just begun its ascent spreading delicate golden tones across the trimmed hedges yet the surrounding beauty failed to bring tranquility to my troubled mind.My sleep cycle experienced severe disruption.My chest burned with guilt from last night’s kiss with Alexander while an eerie phone call repeated our names in an incomprehensible language creating a tangled mess of thoughts.
